Came here for the first time and I was really disappointed with the service from our waitress. We…read morespent half our time there waiting than eating. Our server came to check on us quite a few times in the beginning to check if we wanted to order more but we didn't even receive our first order of food yet. Then we ordered desert which was the oreo tempura and a few scoops of ice cream. The ice cream came right away but then we waited another 20 mins when our waitress came back again and we had to ask her about the oreo. After that.. She had us wait for another 20 minutes for the check and I had to call the server from the next section to get our check. I've watched another section served by a different server who was very attentive and brought their dishes out right away when they would order things after us. It was disappointing.. Food is good and I like their many options. I wouldn't say it is the best but the fish does taste fresh. Many of their rolls contained the wasabi sauce which my partner wasn't a big fan of. Many of the rolls tasted like it was drowned in this sauce. I didn't get to take a picture of every order. The lo mein was not good, I'm not use to having lo mein with the noodles they make it with. Overall, I can see why this place is very popular but it won't be my go-to for AYCE sushi compared to another place that I like more that's nearby. I don't think I'll be coming back though as I was very displeased with the service.

Ok ladies and gents here it goes. Pros: 1. take photos here…read moreit's beautiful /clean 2. Staff is friendly 3. Plenty of foods to try sushi tacos / rolls, ramen, meats, desserts etc etc and the taste was fine. Nothing more or wow factor but a good experience to taste new things. Cons: 1. Greed,let me explain. There is an all you eat buffet option or ala carte menu. Whoever you are seated with you must choose the same option. ( not a problem) There is a two hour time limit to eat ala cart or buffet option( not a problem) Food is fresh and brought to you buffet or ala cart you are served not a problem. Here's the issue. 1. Every table in our section at one time or another was missing orders. Every table had a whispered complaint about the speed of service and the two hour limit. Not amongst their group but to the staff. One guy simply ordered a fry and he waited for 30 minutes for them. He was asked since it took so long does he still want them. He said yes because that's all I want I don't eat sushi but I am here with my family. He paid the AYCE price but couldn't get a fry while the rest of his family ate.There were at least 12 tables in total in my section all with their own waiter , server and clean up crew assigned to their table. They were equipped with staff. There was no shortage here for wait staff , the bar or the hosts that greet you. Nobody ate at the same time. At our table my husband received three items while the 7 of us waited for 15 or more minutes to receive a plate at all. Including the 3 and 5 year old. What does come out quickly are the sushi rolls but the other menu items require you to pack more than patience. 2. We chose all you can eat option and I ordered ramen, a sushi taco, and a bao bun. The orders did not come to the table altogether. Imagine going to a restaurant where they serve chips and salsa and they only give you one chip and a spoon of salsa at a time to eat before they bring the next option or chip and spoon. This is not an exaggeration. Then after you eat that chip and salsa on a spoon it takes 10-30 minutes for you to order another chip and salsa. I am not impatient. If a restaurant puts a two hour time limit to eat at a buffet then it is unreasonable for someone to wait 10-30 minutes to receive food that was ordered and can fit on a tea cup saucer. We were able to order three times. The waiters didn't know who the food belonged to and combined some of the orders on taco separators as to not have to use too many dishes. 3. This restaurant has figured out to save money , cut waste , manipulate how much you eat by serving the smallest of portions and manipulating the speed of serving you to control how much they are actually feeding you to save money and make a profit. My family spent 300 plus dollars today. Ordered three times and each time it took a lot of time to receive our food. Also the sushi tacos come out the slowwwwwwweeeessttttt. It's what I saw every table order but it took the same amount of time to actually receive them thirty or more minutes. No one complained about this in fury but many discussed it with staff and with frustration amongst their families. The staff would tell some of us something ran out and then come back to say they were mistake. Or I put the order in but I thought another brought it. This is to control time and food output. It happened at all 12 tables. We were in one of the private room sections for the larger parties and not one of them didn't have a complaint that could not be heard. I love a great staff but I paid for more than a friendly smile. 4. If you have left over food you must pay for the leftovers using the ala carte price. This makes no sense because if you pay almost $40 for a buffet and you are trying new foods who would eat something they didn't like. This forces you to eat what you are familiar with and it doesn't allow you to try new things on the menu. Conclusion: 1. Just know before you go I think this place is good enough for a one time experience but just be prepared for these antics once you go. 2. Tacos are good but the restaurant makes sure you don't get to go crazy over them if you love them by taking 30 minutes at a time to bring you one at a time even if you ordered more than one and if you don't like them you still have to pay because of the no leftover rule. 3. MAKE a RESERVATION!!! Especially if you have a larger party. The check-in process for walking in to sign on to their waitlist is done on an iPad. Ask the server when the IPad goes to sleep and a passcode is needed to sign into the waitlist. Just make the call to get reservations.

I walk in with a group of 5, ask for a gluten free menu, and the hostess happily got the menu and brought it with us to the table. Our server brought me GF soy sauce and told me he would make sure my food was safe even though it was on the GF menu. I got the calamari and Sugar Land sampler, and it was all great. The fish was fresh, the restaurant didn't have a concerning fishy smell, it was clean and nicely decorated with plenty of space for patrons so we weren't on top of each other. One of my guests ordered the wrong roll, and he was very patient and kind, and he talked through the different rolls to make sure the one she wanted was exactly what she was looking for. He made suggestions and took his time, and he treated her with respect and care. I was truly impressed! One could say that GF options are minimal, but for me, this menu had a little bit of everything for gluten allergies, and my server made me feel very safe eating there with my allergy. I will enthusiastically go back to Japaneiro any day, especially with this level of service!

Oma is one of the better AYCE sushi spots I have been to in Houston. It's located on the lakefront…read morearea of 59 & Hwy 6. While they don't offer lakeside seating, there are plenty of options inside the spacious, two-story restaurant. On the weekends, they indicate "No lunch AYCE" - don't be confused by the wording like we were. This only means that they don't offer the "lunch price" AYCE on the weekends. No biggie, as the dinner price/menu was perfectly fine and opened up more options for us to order. Lunch price AYCE does not offer sashimi (nigiri only), whereas dinner price AYCE has the whole menu as fair game. Some of the menu items do have limits, like the toro (1 piece/adult AYCE). Additionally, each person can order a max of 10 nigiri or sashimi per round. You also only get 1 serving of dessert per AYCE. They also have a silly rule of $0.50 per uneaten rice for nigiri; I suppose this encourages folks to fill up on rice in the nigiri, as sashimi is not an option during weekday lunch AYCE. Our party of 5 ordered a multitude of items on the menu. The fish quality was definitely there and everything tasted fresh. We ordered a few rounds of the seared nigiri, specialty nigiri, and sushi towers. Standouts were eel/unagi sashimi, crunch garlic & scallion salmon nigiri, seared Kobe beef nigiri, seared tuna nigiri, and seared yellowtail nigiri. These were the ones we ordered multiple rounds, but we made an honest attempt to at least try as much of the menu offerings as we could. If only our stomachs had more room! I will say the hot/cooked items (bulgogi, galbi, beef skewer) could have been better...but what can you say, this is a sushi restaurant. That doesn't speak for all of the hot items. I really liked the basil chicken nuggets (Taiwanese popcorn chicken) and vegetable tempura; the shrimp tempura was also a hit at the table. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout our time. At times we'd forget what we had ordered of the many items, so he'd swing by the table once the food was brought out to tell us what's what, and who ordered what. Excellent service! For AYCE sushi, Oma is definitely on top of its game. I've been to a few others around Houston, and this one stands out as one of the premium ones in my opinion. Come for lunch and eat to your heart's desire, and if you're like me, you won't eat for another 30 hours.

The variety…read morein the menu is pretty good (just missing ramen for me, although it can be hit or miss at sushi places) but it's also $25.99. I appreciate that you could do half rolls here! The nigiris also had a good consistent fish to rice ratio. Calamari - batter was too thick and the squid was a little chewy Ika salad - pleasantly surprised this was on the menu and was decent Salmon tower - kind of like poke, one of my favorite appetizers Pepper tuna nachos - alright, nothing to write home about Salmon lover & Hawaii rolls - I preferred the salmon roll. The Hawaii roll was a bit too mushy. Overall, wouldn't recommend the rolls when you can eat the nigiri Salmon/eel/salmon belly/yellowtail nigiri were great! I tried the squid nigiri which was SO slimey I wanted to throw up. I am not sure if that's the typical texture but I don't recommend. The octopus was very fishy in taste. Service - the waiters were very helicopter-y. They passed by legitimately every 15 seconds, it was a bit too much. Our waiter also input our order wrong but was kind about it. Wait - on a weekday at 2p, it was about 5 min wait! Overall, it's pretty good but I don't see myself making this far drive when there are other closer ayce sushi spots to me!

The service was quick and friendly. The place was very clean. They played a video on a screen that we were facing that had a first person view of walking through Japan...probably Tokyo. That brought back memories. It was a nice touch. We ordered green tea, which came with its own warmer. Not as hot as I like, but the tea stayed warm through the entire meal. This looked like legit matcha rather than just tea bags in hot water. For the meal, we had tonkatsu ramen and the spicy duck ramen. We loved them both. The tonkatsu wasn't fried in a batter. It was thinly sliced with nice carmelized edges--very good. The duck was amazing! Next time, we'll try some sushi.

It was good, flavorful, and had a nice spice level but it wasn't wowing. My boyfriend and I shared the General Tso's chicken, and that was a 10 out of 10. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. It came with white rice and everything paired really well together. This is the second place I've gone to that has great General Tso's chicken, and that is definitely a compliment. I would absolutely order it again. We also tried the "Honey moon" appetizer which is a stuffed jalapeño. It had crab and cream cheese with eel sauce. The jalapeño was too crunchy for me, my preference is to have it softer but I feel like the flavor wasn't really there. One of the standout appetizers was the beef tongue from the appetizer menu. That was a 10 out of 10. It came with a sauce on top that was really good and brought everything together perfectly. We had the coconut shrimp appetizer as well. The shrimp itself was decent, but the fried coating tasted like the oil wasn't very fresh. It was crunchy, but the flavor of the oil came through, so I'd rate that about a 5 out of 10. We also ordered fried calamari . I'd rate that around a 6 out of 10. It was okay, but when you bit into it, the octopus would slide out and leave you mostly with the fried outer crust, and the crust itself wasn't that flavorful. The ambiance was beautiful, very clean, modern, and nicely designed. It felt comfortable and well put together. Service was fine, nothing that stands out.
