    Ediri N.

    Surprised my wife with a helicopter tour for her birthday. The location was easy to get to at West Houston Airport and the pre-flight preparation process is simple (which I really just watching a 5-minute information video). The helicopter is small (it can only fit two passengers in the back in addition to the two front seats for the pilot(s), so you will definitely feel all the wind vibrations/turbulence. However, the noise isn't that loud (even without the ear protection). There is also no air conditioning, so it can get hot in the summer time, although there is still air flowing through from the spaces in between the windows/doors and the flights are no more than 20 minutes no matter which route you book, making it more than manageable. All that being said it was a great first time experience for us, even though we were unable to do the downtown tour that we had originally booked because of the flight restriction due to the Astros game (don't book downtown tours during any Astros/Rockets/Dynamo game because they won't be able to fly there). We amended to a "Galleria" tour instead, which was still nice for us because we flew over the watwrwall park where we got engaged. The pilot was nice and answered all our questions. They also took plenty of pictures of us (which you did have to pay for if you wanted) and we were able to take our own pictures as well. The biggest negative I noticed was that they didn't clean/disinfect the seats or headset in between tours which I feel is a must especially during the summer when people get sweaty. Otherwise I recommend it for first timers who want the helicopter experience. It's not cheap for the short duration it is, but the memory is well worth it.

    What an incredible experience!! The facility and the staff were incredibly nice and knowledgeable,…read moremy fiancé and I had such a great time on their sunset helicopter tour. The views were amazing, absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend taking a ride with them and be sure to request Kenny for your next tour, he was such a great pilot and we really enjoyed his convo. -- If you're looking to make a special moment even more spectacular I would 1000% recommend National Helicopter Solutions.

Birthdays,…read moreanniversaries, whatever your occasion, the people at National Helicopter Solutions will give you a wonderful experience that you're sure to remember! I'm afraid of heights and my husband hates planes but somehow helicopters don't bother him and I surprised him with a helicopter tour of Houston. The owner made me feel super relaxed and showed us a safety video that clearly described all the necessary info. He was super nice and made us both feel comfortable and he chatted with us while we waited for the helicopter to land. Once the helicopter landed, they even took photos for us on my phone which was really nice because I never would have asked. The whole flight was incredible! The pilot was wonderful too; he talked to us the whole time, pointed out where landmarks were, made jokes, and all the while flew the helicopter so smoothly I wasn't even nervous. Overall I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking to book a helicopter flight!

    What a blast! To start, Nathan was very polite and friendly, explained everything about the plane,…read moreand happily answered every question I had, and I was very inquisitive. The ride itself was about 45 minutes long, the weather was beautiful, and we circled over many of the tourist and historical spots. Yes, a headset would have been nice but he also had explained our route and the landmarks before we took off. And, I could see where a headset would be distracting if someone talked nonstop, I would prefer him to pay attention to what is going on rather than entertain me. I thoroughly enjoyed my ride and would not hesitate to do it again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    If you can't define 'memorable fun', you can count on these folks to do that for you. Being in the…read moreair over Galveston Island in a cool plane is a fabulous way to enjoy your time in the area. The pilots are smart, friendly and competent... you sit in the front row and experience the open-air biplane excitement that should be on your bucket list... take a friend, a child you need to entertain, a lovely lady/gentleman for Valentine's Day or any special day (or even for a mental health day for yourself) . Mardi Gras is coming up and you might just have some time leftover from the excitement of that to enjoy the vision of Galveston from the air. My best friend and I took the ride and won't ever forget it! As an aside, I would also recommend cruise ship passengers who scheduled too much time to set up an appointment for this. It will be worth it.

    Didn't know this place existed, just happened to pass by it one day, so we decided to try it…read more Plenty of parking outside. Nice Hawaiian atmosphere with decor. Soda machine wasn't working and the ice tea was empty. Staff was friendly and let me exchange my ice tea for a canned soda. Took a lil bit for the food to come out. Meat was very flavorful and portion was very generous. Comes with a side of macaroni salad and rice. Spam masubi was on point. Pricey place but the portions are generous. Would recommend to try at least once.

The way you direct yourself towards customers outside the ordering register desk... it's amazing!! You have the customer service lots of places lack!! Honestly, if the owner is seeing this??!! He deserves a raise and much appreciation because he does put value to your place! Now.... The food was good! We had been looking for a Hawaiian bbq place like Cali and we found that Houston had an L&L so YES YES had to go try it out here in Houston!!! I ordered the katsu plate and the bbq ribs plate and ofcourse had to try the musubi chicken!! The katsu chicken is super crispy and the crunch was really good, dip it in the volcano sauce which I mixed with the sweet sauce..forgot the name lol I also ordered passion fruit drink! They were ok, I would love to see chunks of fruit!! Would be amazing The sauces are always great! And one new one we saw and enjoy a lot!! Was the VOLCANO spicy super spicy sauce but loved it, mix it with other sweet sauces and you got a tasty tangy sauce Ambiance is chill, would love to have some background music!!! That would be great!!
