scallops
Thang N.

Seafood isn't my thing but the wife wanted to check this place out. Reservations are limited to 2 people. We arrived about 15 minutes before the reservation and valet parked at the stand across the street on Grant. The valet parking is $10 unless you scan the QR code at the end of the meal. The room is a small room behind the main restaurant. The wife really liked all of the offerings from the set meal and the à la cart offerings. The meal ran on time and the staff was friendly and cleared the plates and refilled our water quickly. She is already planning on going back.

15 course $120 omakase

This omakase experience was amazing. I've done many omakase this is probably on my top 3. Came here for an anniversary dinner 7:30pm on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seats were filled and the ambiance and environment of the restaurant gave very modern Japanese.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table top is made out of copper and the way seating is makes this a very intimate dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was crazy good. Each bite builds the more you chew. The ingredients used tasted very balanced and intentional.

part of the Uchi family and honestly so good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right when you stepped in the vibe is intimate with dim lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got their $50 happy hour omakase and it was so worth it! I wished I had ordered more off of their à la carte menu! Service was prompt! Fish quality is amazing! It is a quick omakase with 60 minutes per seating! I will definitely come back!

This was my very first omakase at Oheya in Montrose and it truly exceeded my expectations. I was previously very fond of sushi and would stick to rolls and simple nigiri as I was comfortable with them. I was amazed at just how fresh and intricate the flavors of everything was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm a sucker for ambiance and I loved sitting next to strangers while surrounding the chefs at a simple and chic bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The paper fish donning our names was truly the cherry on top.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chef and staff were very attentive and guided us through the entire experience explaining the ingredients and the best way to consume the pieces. I am very excited to return again when the menu is rotated.

Happy hour menu

I paid $50 for a 10 course omakase for happy hour that not only met but exceeded my expectations. It started out strong with flounder, which is a personal favorite of mine, but it got progressively better with each consecutive course. I honestly don't know how I could pick a favorite out of all the courses. They finished with a homemade candy bar and honestly, I've never been a huge fan of the Uchi brand's desserts, but this was far and away my favorite dessert that I've had from them. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the lychee martini as I've definitely had better. Even if you make a reservation for their happy hour Omakase, you can still order other à la carte items, and they recommend you do so at the beginning of the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location-wise, it's basically across the street from Marmo, and when you enter the little opening from the street, it's the door on the right. It's not super easy to see the writing by the door when it's not bright out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot on the street instead of valet, because I despise valet. Service was OK--some employees were more personable than others, but that's to be expected anywhere. I will definitely come back and hopefully sooner than later.

Finally !! Reservations after 1 month. If you are looking to get seatings for Happy Hour Omakase be sure to book ASAP for 5-6 PM. Omakase is for 60 mins, 10 courses for $50. Be sure to order your a la carte once seated. We order a few nigiris and of course their delicious Brussels sprouts. Drinks are really good, choose from Lychee Martinis or Kara Kyoto for $6. Everything was delicious, fish was fresh and drinks was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lighting and music was on point so you definitely get a romantic atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't feel rush and when 10 course was done, I still had 15 mins to order more drinks or a la carte plates. Must try and will do again. Looking at $100 per person tonight and no regrets . Left feeling full and satisfied!

Another great night at Oheya! Wonderful food and great service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Calm ambiance with some relaxing but upbeat music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the food was wonderful and impressive! 10/10 One of the fav dishes of the night was the dessert!

Kristin J.

I absolutely loved the sushi here! Service was top notch and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere and setting was so intimate and unique.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks kind of like a wood cabin from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went during happy hour, so 50 dollars for the food was a great price point in my opinion especially for an omakase. There is plenty of parking in the garage nearby. I can't wait to come back!

Nigiri

Perfect for special occasions! You truly cannot beat a $50 10-course , 12-seat Omakase. Chef Justin and his team were all very skilled and personable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is very small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try the sake

Chante N.

i am so happy that i chose oheya to be my first omakase experience. their dinner service is flawless!! the plates are beautiful, flavorful, and decadent the chef was kind with a great sense of humor! i did the 15 courses and it did not disappoint! i was satisfied with the 15 courses but my undeniable lust for the dry aged fish got the better of me and i could not help myself!!! oheya, means room in a house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is nestled to the right in the uchi building. the lighting is soft, the vibes are cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]there was no dress code and everyone was dressed hi-low end, so no worries on being dressed to the nines or coming in after work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the staff are inviting and attentive regardless of attire. will definitely be back for happy hour bonne appétit

It saddens me to write this review. I am a diehard Uchi fan. I have been coming to their Houston for years and previous enjoyed their Austin location. I even enjoy both Uchiko locations. However, I was not impressed with their separate Oheya omakase. First off, [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's a bit weird, not much signage outside so we ended up entering through the main door and crossing back over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We booked the 5 pm on a Saturday and we were the only ones to dine. That in itself was a bit sad to see.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I've been to other omakases where it's just us and you end up getting a good experience with the chefs. Nope. They were very quiet and got very little Info about the dishes we were having the presentation on most of the dishes were lacking as well. I've gotten more explanations from my server at the normal Uchi. There was only one of three that even said anything to us. The one waitress was very good with clearing plates. It was $120?/pp for 12 pieces? It wasn't super high but not a single dish was impressive and the dessert was down right bad. I would stick to normal uchi moving forward.

Suzuki Nigiri
William T.

Tried the $50 omakase--totally worth it! Fresh, delicious nigiri with creative combos. Loved the temaki and kanpachi most. Quick, fun counter service watching the chef prepare everyone's nigiri. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior definitely had a cute and cozy vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Solid choice for affordable, high-quality omakase. Highly recommend!

William L.

I was excited to hear about Oheya as Uchi is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Houston. You get a more traditional omakase experience here with a dedicated private room that seats maybe 12 people. Apart from the setting though, I did not find the taste of food a step up from what you would get at Uchi/Uchiko. Unfortunately, you are paying for the experience and not necessarily for better taste in my opinion here. Menu rotates monthly, but I feel I got a good representative menu my go around. $175 per person but they'll charge ya $8/$10 for still/sparkling water so really 185 a person if you don't order a real drink. I think you have better options for Omakase in Houston for similar taste. We did go to the Velvet taco across the street to top-off since we came in hungry Would I Go Out of My Way to Try? No, would stick to Uchi or another place for Omakase Would I Return? No Ambiance- 8/10 Food Taste- 8/10 Service- 10/10 Value- 5/10

The age takoyaki was creamy and good to share amongst a group. The toro carpaccio was amazing as well and melted in your mouth. We also ordered chicken curry udon, chicken karaage, and tantan noodles. All had really great flavors but my personal favorite was the tantan noodles which came with poached egg, sauce, and garnishes that you got to mix into the noodles. Super creamy and nutty! I really loved the vibe of the restaurant too, it's small but has a homey vibe that would be great for either a small group hangout or a date. There's a lot of bars to visit nearby too. Our server was also so sweet and brought us a baggie of Japanese candies & sweets after our dinner since it was Valentine's Day. Only complaint was parking. Very small lot and very packed! Get there a bit before your reservation to figure out parking.

Parking was a little tricky, but street parking a few blocks away ended up being the best option. I came for happy hour (4-6pm) and sat at the bar. I was surprised you could make reservations for happy hour, but I was still able to walk in and find a seat at the bar without much issue. I ordered a mix of items from the happy hour menu and was impressed by the variety and how reasonable the prices were for the quality. Portions are on the smaller side, but that's expected for a higher-end sushi spot. I especially enjoyed the different sauces and soy variations that came with each dish--it really elevated everything. I tried the tuna, hamachi, fried tempura-style fish, handrolls, and nigiri. The hand rolls were the only miss for me; the filling-to-rice ratio felt a bit off and the seaweed was on the chewier side. To finish, I had the fried milk ice cream dessert (not part of happy hour), and it was honestly one of the best restaurant desserts I've had in a long time. Overall, happy hour is a great way to try a wide range of dishes--both hot and cold--and explore more than just raw fish. I don't drink, so I can't speak to the cocktails, but the drink menu looked solid and diverse.

Staff were super friendly and my partner and I had a fun time soaking up the environment and chatting with our server. We ordered the 5 handroll set along with various crudos to share along with drinks. I had the olyshii and found it to be very refreshing and had a nice sweetness to it. Handroll wise my favorite of the set was the kani followed by the negitoro. I think overall, the handrolls were very well done with fresh fish/seafood. For crudo we got the scallop and the hamachi, I really enjoyed the scallop crudo but thought the hamachi was really overpowered by the sauce. We also ended up getting the hokkaido uni handroll. It wasn't my favorite but I think I just prefer my CA uni so it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Overall, this was a really fun spot with good handrolls. I'm glad its close by and will be a nice treat to return to.

Since it was our first time dining this way, the staff was attentive and took the time to explain everything. We also had the chance to chat with the owner, which made the experience even more memorable. The food has always been outstanding. The hand roll sets are absolutely worth it, and my favorite dish is actually the crudo. Unfortunately, the service has declined with each visit. During our second visit, we assumed the lack of attention was because the restaurant was packed and likely understaffed. However, our third visit made it clear that wasn't the issue. Throughout the meal, we were consistently overlooked. We were never offered water refills, had to repeatedly flag down staff just to order, and even had to ask the chefs to get a server's attention. Meanwhile, the tables on either side of us were regularly checked on and served promptly. We watched guests who were seated both before and after us receive much more attentive service. Eventually, we left earlier than planned because we were tired of waiting just to order more food. It's disappointing because the food is genuinely excellent, but after multiple visits with declining service, it's hard to justify coming back.

The pepper tuna tataki and hamachili were fresh and flavorful. The karaage was crispy, tender and juicy, and the agedashi tofu had that perfect texture in a savory broth. All were sooo good. The Zen Mega Dragon roll, hamachi hamachi roll, and Extra Picante roll were all fresh and excellent. The only two dishes that didn't quite wow us were the hijiki and the Rock N Roll roll. Both were a bit basic compared to everything else on the table. The yakisoba noodles did take a little while to come out, but wow... they were soooo worth the wait. Savory, hot, and incredibly satisfying. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which makes it even better. There is free parking, but the lot is small.

I am usually not a huge udon fan but the udon noodles were super soft and melts in your mouth. Probably one of the best udons I have had. We had to try the uni pasta when we saw it on the menu. A good amount of uni and the sauce was perfect with the pasta. For sashmi option, the Toyosu sashimi platter was a great choice that offer a variety of the chef's curated imported fresh Japanese sashimi. We also got the salmon flight which had 6 pieces of the salmon and salmon belly. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a good spot for sushi in the Montrose area.

The room is attractive and thoughtfully designed and there is an intentional sense of scarcity that makes the evening feel special from the start. That said my overall experience landed squarely in the average range. The sushi and presentation are good and competently executed but nothing truly stood out or felt memorable. For the price being charged I expected flavors or techniques that would separate it from other strong sushi options but that never quite happened. Everything was pleasant yet ultimately unremarkable. I get the sense that Neo receives rave reviews because people want it to feel special. The exclusivity the setting and the concept do a lot of the heavy lifting. Once you strip that away the food itself does not fully justify the hype or the cost. It is enjoyable but not exceptional and not something I would rush to repeat at this price point. Neo is fine for those seeking a curated intimate dining experience but if you are focused primarily on standout sushi and value there are better options available.
