How damn cute! They go over the top with their to go/delivery packaging. Sushi is good and travels well. The edamame was a great surprise - not your typical boiled and salt. It was that but also charred on a grill that added a little plus plus. We'll order from them again. read more

There's seating outdoors, inside at the sushi bar, tables, and more seating upstairs. I noticed that they used machines to give proportionate amount of rice for the nigiri and rolls. This is nice to have consistent amounts of rice for each dish. I do wonder if this would make service slow or not because it did take awhile to get our food. There were a lot of to go orders and the way they package the items looked top tier. I did see they had a reasonable price for omakase for 2 ($95). This alone I think is worth trying this place out. However, I was not hungry enough for their omakase. I don't know if the machine played a roll in it but the seaweed was a bit soft and got stuck onto the dish. This made the quality of the rolls disappointing. The fish tasted fresh but I think the flavors and ingredients overpowered the fish. I would have liked ingredients that would elevate the fish and make it stand out as the highlight of the rolls. However, I thought they did a good job with presentation in each dish. I tried the rainbow row and that was a bit hard to eat because the seaweed got stuck onto the wooden board. I also thought the menu didn't reflect all of the ingredients that were inside of the rolls. They list the main stuff but not everything else. For example, I noticed that there was asparagus inside of the rainbow row but it isn't listed. For that reason I'd give it 3 stars. I wouldn't order this again. The next item I tried was the yuzu kissed and this was my favorite out of everything I've tried. I do think that it was missing something that would balance out the citrusy flavor but nevertheless it was still tasty as long as you don't douse the fish in the sauce, 5 stars. I also tried the Wagyu pitchfork and I think something that would've made this taste better would be a sauce maybe like an eel sauce. This would also get 3 stars for me. The spicy tuna roll was 3 stars for me and it was more so of the texture of the tuna. The tuna felt like it was stuffed in the roll and was like a soggy texture. Some of the tuna fell out as I was eating it and it also made the seaweed wrap around it a bit moist. I think if you go here you definitely should get the sashimi that way you could actually taste the quality of the fish. I tried the medium tuna and fatty and these were actually what I would expect from a place like this. The quality was there but the other items didn't hit the mark for me. The other item I tried was the Japanese scallop and the scallop was tasty and had that smooth buttery texture. The seaweed again kind of ruined the scallop for me. It felt like the scallop was shoved into the roll and was all soft and squishy when I picked it up. read more

Arrived at Himari today and really did have a great experience! It is a small setting but it left a big impression! Sat at the bar and ordered hot saki and sparkling white wine as an added kick( both were great by the way), and then for starters we got a crispy tuna roll, which was very good, ( tuna on a bed of fried rice cake cut into rectangles , with chives and trimmings on top) order of the chicken karage , that was fried to perfection, spicy / juicy goodness and everything you want from fried chicken!, and lastly got the nigiri sampler with premium pieces of very fresh , melt in you mouth sushi! And all of this was available at happy hour prices because we got there before 5, except for the chicken karage and sparkling wine! Service was also STELLAR! I will be back for sure!!! read more

We stopped here for lunch and realized that the building has different eating restaurants with a nice outdoor area to relax at (if it wasn't so hot outside). The interior of Himari is a tad small but you can see them make the sushi while you wait for your food. We ordered the spicy tuna, crispy tuna and mixed tempura. The tempura was good, and came with shrimp, onions and sweet potatoes. The spicy tuna was meh, I didn't like the texture of the tuna since it was too mushy or the slight aftertaste. I also wasn't a fan of the crispy tuna for the same reason. The rice had a nice crunch but the crunch and mushy tuna together just didn't work for me. The service was good and the servers were friendly. read more

I came here to get the BOGO donburi special that they sent me an email about but the code didn't work online. When I called they were able to apply it for pick up which works out either way. the only negative is that the rice was steaming which means for the second bowl (yes I ate two) the fish was kind of cooked which made me sad because they are thin pieces of fish and I love the raw. It was still tasty and high quality fish but perhaps in the future if the rice wasn't steaming hot before the chirashi goes on top, that would be nice. read more

Happy Hour!!! On a Saturday!!! Oh yeah.... Very cute, place that has an outdoor section where kids can play. I enjoyed my lychee martini, and sushi choices. They were served in beautiful dishes and presentation was on point. I will definitely be back and they are apart of the restraunt week. The service was great as you don't have one, but two waiters which is great. read more

A few friends and I recently visited for the first time to to check out their Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. There's plenty to unpack here. The first is the location is at the Stomping Grounds. It's a vibe however it can run very heavy with young families and kiddos running around in the evening hours. If you're trying to sit outside for a date or something, it probably isn't the the best spot. As far as the establishment goes, it's quaint and small. A few tables upstairs on the second floor, which is where we were sat. Warning, if you run a bit cold all the time, it may be worth bringing a sweater as the ac vents are up here so.it runs colder. Food - 4* We ordered the HRW menu and while everything was delicious the portions were pretty small and we all left a bit hungry. The highlights were the kanpari, spicy yellowtail, and spicy tuna. The cocktails were ok, nothing special. Service - 2* This is where we really were disappointed. Our first couple of courses came out fairly quick, nothing great, nothing bad. The third course took quite awhile while the dessert took another entire hour. It was getting ridiculous and we finally said we just want to get our bill and leave. It was only then the dessert seemed to finally show up. The damage was done though. We had decided already that we would not be coming back. They did try to make it right by taking two of the drinks off the bill. Cost - 3* The portions were small for what we would have expected, even with the HRW special. Overall - 3* The vibe is cool, not too loud or obnoxious and a good spot for a small group of friends to enjoy. That stated, the biggest disappointment was the service. We were there for nearly three hours for the four courses and still left hungry (probably because we waited so long). I doubt we'll be back however there is plenty to checkout nearby! read more

We came in a large party, made reservations in advance. Upon arrival, we were a little confused, how could they fit a party of 10 in this small space? We were directed to head upstairs, no elevator access. The courtyard play area could be viewed from upstairs. Our server was very friendly and patiently went over the menu. We were all first timers dining. My hubby and I were pleasantly surprised by the pricing on the sushi set so we opted to try the C set. I felt it was worth the money for $56. That was 12 pieces of nigiri, 3 pcs sashimi, and a small maki to finish it all. All pieces were really good and fresh. Here's what you get below. Sushi Set C: - Choice of Tuna, Salmon, or Yellowtail Sashimi (3pcs) - Medium Fatty Tuna (2pcs), Tuna (2pcs), Salmon (2pcs), Seabream (2pc), Amberjack (2pc) Yellowtail (2pcs) Nigiri - Yellowtail Roll We also order the two crudo, the Yuzu Kissed and Spicy Yellowtail. Both were nice portions, fresh, and delicious. I would order everything again. I would like to come back to try their happy hour, daily from 11 AM to 5 PM. Maybe I'll try on a day that I'm off or on the weekend because 5 PM is rough trying to get there after work. Parking here is a little weird, no upfront parking as the restaurant's entrance door faces an interior courtyard with limited point of entry. However, seems to be plenty of parking in private lot. There are other nearby options in the same center, to hang out afterwards. read more

Had a great dinner at Himari! I was celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and we really enjoyed our meal. Everything was prepared swiftly, fresh, and had good flavor. I thought the Karaage was unique - it's fried in a different way than most other restaurants do it. I liked it because it had a cleaner feel - it didn't feel like I was just eating fried chicken. I thought the Kanpachi had great flavor! The first bite is fragrant with orange, and then it shifts into the light taste of the amberjack that's soaked up some of the flavor from the sauce. Interior feels slightly modern, upscale, and casual. I made a reservation but ultimately it wasn't necessary. Access Himari by entering through the Stomping Grounds (the astroturf field). Parking anywhere in the shared lot should be free! There's a decent amount of parking available. read more

Came here to finally try their lunch menu. I love the set up of the restaurant. I do enjoy sitting at the bar and kind of watching their prep of the sushi and dishes. The service was good and friendly. The pieces are not big I'd say maybe on the smaller size probably lunch size. I'd say the pricing is mid-tier to high-tier if you wanna be full. Most of the pieces of fish were super buttery and delicious! I can't remember all of the names of them unfortunately. read more

Himari - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

We ordered Himari through Doordash one evening last week in Houston because there was a big storm coming in and we'd cancelled our other dinner plans. Himari happened to pop up on our list and we thought why not grab some food for delivery? I ordered the masu sashimi, the negitoro roll, and the tuna flight with 5 different types of tuna nigiri. The roll was very solid; the sashimi was a bit skimpy in quantity but the fish was good quality. The sushi rice wasn't super flavorful which I didn't love, but the tuna nigiri were also not bad. I think sushi generally tastes best when freshly made so my friend and I will just have to come in person and try this spot again in the future! read more

I recently went will my best friend and we were so impressed. All of the food was delicious but the tuna crispy rice was our favorite. The restaurant itself felt somewhat crowded but, luckily there weren't that many people at the time. Over all 10/10 would recommend. read more

It's only been 3 months since we first came here, and I was looking for the same great service and food, but sadly, I was met with a disappointing experience!! We sat at a two top and basically ordered a few of our favorites from their $95 omakase menu, but it just wasn't the same. The soft shell crab was overcooked, and my spicy tuna roll was pretty dry and lacked flavor! The only thing that remained consistent was their medium fatty tuna nigiri. The server who initially came by and asked us what we wanted to drink, somehow just completely forgot about us and never came back around to our table after the drinks were delivered. It would've been nice to have some transparency or a heads up that we need to flag down another server or that someone else will be serving us for the rest of our meal experience. Sadly, we prob won't be returning and it's kinda unfortunate that they are linked to some of my other favorite restaurants around town. It just wasn't their day. read more

Great service and cute little spot. Easy to come for a quick meal and very family friendly because of the location!

Pretty good sushi in a family friendly plaza. Super little kiddo family friendly since you can sit outside and the little kiddos can run around in the plaza. You order and pay through the QR code / app. Fairly standard sushi menu with a handful of rolls. The surf & turf, salmon curry and trufflaffagus were unique and worth getting. The Karaage was moist and flavorful. Will have to come back, sit inside and try the nigiri or omakase for a more traditional experience. It might be difficult to have a romantic upscale vibe unless you're inside. Service was attentive and fast. They answered any questions about the menu, but you still order and pay through your phone. read more

This is a small, quaint place with some outdoor seating. There's also a turf play area in the center for kids to run around in. The service was super friendly and attentive. We sat outside since the weather was nice and it was such a pleasant experience. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The spice edamame was lemony but spicy and yummy. The spicy yellowtail also had a kick and the tomato with basil was a nice chaser. The salmon curry roll was different but very tasty. The surf and turf roll and shaggy dog rolls were also pretty good. The karaage was kind of greasy but had good flavor. The trufflaluffagus roll wasn't on the menu. I couldn't taste the truffle but it was not bad. My only complaint is that I asked for sriracha which they didn't have but they brought me a very small dollop of chili paste and charged me $2 for it! It was literally like 1/4 of a teaspoon. This was such a rip off. I won't be asking for that again. read more

Himari was such a fun and delicious experience! We tried a variety of dishes (yes, even sake bombs), but the Shaggy Dog Roll was the star of the night. The crisp shrimp tempura and creamy cheese inside paired beautifully with the crab stick, serrano aioli, eel sauce, and sesame seeds -- a perfect balance of crunch, spice, and sweetness. Surprisingly, the edamame also stood out -- simple, fresh, and perfectly salted, the kind you just keep reaching for. Great food, lively atmosphere, and friendly service -- Himari nails it. Can't wait to come back! read more

pretty good but not Uchi or Kata level, but with Uchi and Kata prices. Just go to Uchi and Kata for the real thing.

Not a single miss. Every dish and piece of sushi was flavorful and enjoyed. Surf & Turf and the Truffulufagus were the winners for us though. Very unique and rich flavors. We also got some amazing cocktails, the lychee martini and Japanese high ball. Staff were all very nice and attentive as well.

My friends and I had a nice Houston Restaurant Week dinner at Himari. First off, the location that it's in, the Stomping Grounds, is so nice! I'd come back just to check out the other establishments. I got the Salmon Ringo Crudo, the Philly Roll Maki, Kanpachi Sashimi, and the coconut mochi ice cream. Everything was tasty and had fresh flavors. To add-on, we tried their karaage and kinoko nigiris, which I'd highly recommend! Service was quick and attentive, especially with our larger group of 8 in their somewhat smaller space. All in all, the HRW dinner menu was a good value, but I'd recommend ordering other items off the menu. read more

Bad sushi. Got sick. Managment could care less avoid too many good sushi bars in houston to eat here

Definitely come for the happy hour and the sushi sets! Sushi sets were pretty worth for the amount of food that you get. Casual dress and seating inside, although if it's busy there is also seating outside as well. They have a self service kiosk also if you want to order to go! Very very convenient. My favorite sushi from them was the salmon and yellow tail! I'll definitely have to come back to try their other stuff if I'm in the area! Plenty of parking here since it's in the stomping grounds! read more

Himari - Sushi set B - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a great sushi spot in the Heights! It is located in the plaza with a lot of other restaurants/businesses. The parking lot is huge and is easy to access. I love how casual and clean the inside is. I came here for lunch on a weekday, and I think their lunch menu is really worth your money. They offer a roll and some nigiri. I got the sushi set, which came with: salmon roll and 5 pieces of nigiri. I also added a kinoko nigiri because I love the flavor of the way they cook the mushroom. It almost tastes like meat lol. The quality of the fish is really fresh and good. The service was great too. They checked up on us often and made sure we were taken care of well. read more

When I heard another concept was coming from the same team behind Handies Douzo, Aiko, and Kokoro, I knew I had to check it out. However, the ownership of this place is a little different. Even though it seems like the same team, Daniel Lee and Patrick Pham are not the head chefs here and I could tell. The nigiri was a little less inspired and the flavors a little less vibrant, which is why I did not rate this place 5 stars. However, it is no doubt still a very good sushi place. We enjoyed our dining experience here, although I was not blown away. The crudos were the only standouts, similar to the crudos at Handies and Aiko. I admit I did not order any of the rolls, only nigiri, so perhaps their rolls is where they shine. The restaurant is cute and clean on the inside, albeit quite small. There is apparently an upstairs although I didn't see anyone going up there. The restaurant is located in the Stomping Grounds so plenty of parking. The service here could be better. There seemed to only be one waiter for lunch on a Saturday and he wasn't super on top of his game. He was very soft spoken, was slow getting our bill, and also split our bill wrong on a few items. I would come back if we were in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of our way to come here. read more

It was our first time eating at Himari. We called to ask if we could bring our dog to eat outside. They allowed us to bring him and sit outside on the deck to eat there. They had a special four course menu which was $39 which would help towards Houston Food Bank. It wasn't too hot outside and they had ceiling fans on. The sushi rolls and nigiri were really good because the rice wasn't too soft or too hard, seasoned well with the right amount of vinegar. Our favorite was the salmon belly nigiri and it melted like butter in our mouths. The chicken karaage was also very crispy and good. They also had chu-toro which was also very good. I would definitely come back again. read more

Really loved my experience here! The service was impeccable, very personable and neighborhood like feel. The crispy rice tuna was so delicious in a city that doesn't have it everywhere, we loved! The mochi was the perfect consistency & the FISH was SO fresh!!! Every bite truly is the perfect balance of flavors and the chef is so unique in the flavor combinations. I will absolutely be back & highly recommend. I loved sitting at the sushi counter and watching everything be made, it was a great atmosphere. read more

Extremely disappointed with the staff and management here. My wife arrived with our baby and was initially left unattended upon entering. She eventually found an available table and was told by the staff it was fine to sit there. However, minutes later, several staff members surrounded her and asked her to move to a much smaller table in a cramped space, apparently to accommodate a potential reservation, even though the table had no sign indicating it was held. A sign was placed after she left. We would have been understanding if the host had simply made a mistake and kindly explained the situation. In fact, we understand that we might need some accommodation for the baby and would be happy to revisit another time if the restaurant is at capacity. However I am appalled that they insisted that she moved with no regard for her comfort or that she had a baby with her. We decided to leave instead of being treated as if we are an inconvenience. The staff offered no apologies nor offered any other solutions during the whole process. Instead they were accusatory towards my wife. We've had only positive experiences at the other sister restaurants (aiko and handies). Unfortunately Himari has demonstrated that customer service is not a priority here. read more

Such a cute and cozy sushi spot! the fish is always so fresh every time I visit! - Trufflaluffagus 10/10 !! this is a MUSTTTT. The roll is light and refreshing with nice texture from the jalapeno and shrimp tempura - The Smoke Is Yours 9/10 The combination of bacon, apple and scallop sounds strange but it actually works! This was my go to before the Trufflaluffagus was out. Just wished the bacon was a little more crispy like the first time I had it - Crispy Tuna Can't go wrong with crispy tuna. A staple starter. - Nigiri I don't remember all the different types of fish I've had but they all tasted fresh and buttery! Just ask the sushi chef for their recommendations Thank you Sang for always taking good care of us I'll definitely be back!! read more

First review of the year! From last year - haha. I got knocked out from the flu ‍ Anyways, here's to the less formal yet still as spectacular as their sister establishments (Aiko & Handies Douzo). Honestly, if you're craving some fresh fish but you are not dressed appropriately for the other 2 places or they have no more available reservations, Himari is where to go! You get the same menu with a slightly different take. This place has more traditional sushi rolls whereas HD is known for their maki rolls and cheery ambience and Aiko is more decendant. So let's ROOLLLLLL & go through some my top rolls: What we got We felt less rice-y and more fresh sahami and ordered the three cold crudos: 1. Tuna with PINEAPPLE & black garlic 2. Salmon with sliced apple 3. Red snapper with citrus & SUNFLOWER SEEDS ** there's more flavors in each but I just listed the ones that stood out to me here ! We also had to get some rolls obviously so we did the NEGITORO roll which was super fresh. totally recommend you have to incorporate this roll in your tastings somehow. And other one surprises me because I normally don't like fried - the Crispy Tuna. The idea of frying the rice than topping with fresh tuna is splendid. There are many other rolls I'd of loved to order but here's for always next time! The service was awesome! Our waiter was cordial and respectable of our time. read more

Himari is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a fusion of Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine. It's located in the Stomping Grounds, a retail and culinary space in Houston's Garden Oaks area. Open since spring, this spot has quickly become a favorite. The shared Astro Turf play space with the neighboring businesses makes it an excellent choice for families. There is also a free shared parking lot. Under the expert guidance of chef-owner Tye Nguyen, an alum of Uchi, and co-founders Patrick Pham, Andrew Lin, and Daniel Lee (the team behind Handies Douzo, Kokoro, and Aiko), Himari offers an exceptional dining experience. [COCKTAILS] +Old Fashioned (Bourbon and Bitters) for $14 - 3.5/5 [ROBATA] +Shishito Peppers (Lion Pepper and Roasted Cashew Butter) for $6 - I loved these shishito peppers. They were blistered to perfection and the sauce was incredible. - 5/5 [MAKIMONO] +Negitoro Maki (Fatty Tuna, Cucumber, Avocado, and Negi Dare) for $16 - 4.5/5 [HOUSTON RESTAURANT WEEKS] This was a special menu for Houston Restaurant Weeks where Himari provided a custom menu with a crudo, maki, sashimi, and mochi for $39. First Course (Crudo): Sakeviche (Big Glory Bay Salmon, Fish Sauce, Peaches, and Serrano) - I like everything here, but I think it would have been better without the fish sauce. - 3.5/5 Second Course (Maki): Spicy Crunchy Tuna (Spicy Tuna, Jalapeño, Cucumber, and Tempura Flakes) - 4/5 Third Course (Sashimi): Akami (3 Pieces of Bluefin Tuna Topped with Wasabi) - 4/5 Fourth Course (Mochi): Vanilla Chip Mochi Ice Cream - This was probably one of the best mochi ice creams I have ever had. I love simple vanilla with crunchy chocolate chips, so I may be biased. Himari got this mochi ice cream sent in from Mochidoki (New York). They can also be found at Central Market grocery stores for cheaper, but I couldn't find this specific flavor. I am now a big fan. - 5/5 Himari stands out not just for its food, but for its inviting atmosphere and dedication to quality. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to Houston's dining scene. read more

Came on a Friday evening and my gosh they were SO busy. Reservations were made ahead of time, but looked like they did not block out the table for two of us. So we waited about 30 minutes for the table to clear out and to be cleaned. It is a very small restaurant with a bar + seating there and maybe 7 other regular seated tables. You are able to sit outdoors as well, but it was wayyy to hot to do that. It also took a minute for our order to be taken and even for the drinks to arrive. I got a Dragonfruit mojito (unimpressed and was nothing special about it) and a Espresso Martini but w/ Tequila instead of vodka. They did have a HRW menu, but decided to opt out and order off of their regular menu. The pieces of nigiri were sliced quite small. My favorite pieces were the Chutoro Nigiri and the A5 Waygu Nigiri. I would say those are a must get item if you were to dine in. The Crispy Tuna flavor was good, but I wish the rice was crispier. It ended up being quite soggy. The Kushiyaki was not good. Do not order. It was a bit chewy and it was served room temp and not very flavorful. It is definitely overpriced and I would rather go elsewhere to spend the same amount get better quality fish/dishes. Parking - Free within the plaza They have other restaurants around the same area like ohmygogi and a bar as well. Overall, it just wasn't a very personable experience in regards to hospitality and food was mid for the quality received. read more

Went here for lunch with a friend and wasn't too blown away. We both thought it was just okay. I ordered two basic rolls; Philly roll, and a shaggy dog. My friend ordered spicy tuna and a salmon curry? I think. My Philly roll was good but the salmon was really salty. My shaggy dog was good too but nothing to write home about. I did appreciate the size because some places will make the bites huge! The spicy mayo was spicy! We also ordered some tempura shrimp (only came with two thin pieces) and sweet potato (3 mid size pieces) At the start, the service was very friendly. Then our real server came and he was so incredibly awkward. After putting in our order we'd say "thanks!" And he just...walked away. It was weird! Haha! The space is small but it's cute. It has the tiniest of bars to order drinks and a small sushi bar you can sit at. I can't say I'll be back but it's always fun trying places out for the first time. read more

We were a bit confused on the location when we pulled into the parking lot, as there's several businesses in the strip. Himari is located on the inside square, no entrance from the outside perimeter (must enter through the center area).we had reservations but it was empty when we arrive (though did get busy as we were there) on a Sunday afternoon. Food: -Spicy Yellowtail: (4 out of 5) Was good and seemed fresh. -Surf & Turf Roll: (4 out of 5) It had what tasted like teriyaki sauce on top which I was not a fan of fun but the roll was very good. Filling as well. -Karaage (fried chicken): (3 out of 5) The sauce that came with these was good. Some of the chicken bites texture seemed a bit off, never had these so not sure if that's just normal. If it wasn't for the sauce probably wouldn't try these. -Spicy Edamame: (2 out of 5) I've never had edamame like this. It's not boiled but done on a skillet or something (as a lot of our edamame was "burn"), I did not enjoy that. Even with the spicy seasoning you tasted more the burn aspect of the shells. -Shisito Peppers: (5 out of 5) I'm a snob of these and they are very good here. They had a nice quick and perfectly cooked. Service: As it is a small place they really only had one waiter and assuming a Manager/Owner working the floor. The actual waiter wasn't really on top of things or the most welcoming, but the "manager" was definitely making up for it. Food came out at a reasonable pace. Definitely recommend. For two people, our bill was just over $100, not bad at all. We left full and overall happy. read more

All the rolls we had were pretty good. Our initial server was not that pleasant and almost ruined the experience, but the second waiter we got was very helpful in going through the menu. The restaurant was super casual. The whole area was super casual. The restaurant is in like a market with several restaurants and a play area in the center for kids. However, towards the end of our meal there were a few flies that came out of nowhere. My boyfriend thinks it's because they had started cleaning up for the night, but it was very frustrated. read more

Dined in on a Thursday at 11:30 AM for a party of four and was seated immediately. I'm a huge fan of Kokoro and Aiko, but Himari didn't hit the spot. Their dishes lacked flavor and nothing was memorable. I do give it to them with how fresh their fish is though. We ordered: Sweet potato: ordered this for the baby, tempura was light but it's just sweet potatoes Himari Kanpachi: could do without the sunflower seeds, needs a more acidic sauce Spicy yellowtail: buttery goodness Tropical tuna: refreshing and delicious Kushi yaki: steak was over cooked Kinoko buta: mushrooms needed to be cooked longer Negima: tender and juicy Unagi: a little burnt but good Hotate: had an odd taste, not my favorite Hamachitoro: so good and chilled to perfection BGB Saketoro: good cut Hotate gunkan: this had a kick! It looked innocent but made me choke a few times. Crispy tuna: not much flavors, the crispy was was overkill Yuzu ebi roll: simple shrimp tempura roll read more
