    Quick on the go poke place for lunch! The young lady was super sweet in assisting and got my order ready no longer than 5 minutes. You get great portions of protein/add ons, it's great! I got the regular bowl with Tuna/spicy salmon! Add light sauces (shoyu/ponzu/spicy mayo). Will def be coming back based off the service I had today.

    3 proteins

    I order from Poke Xpress all the time, and they never disappoint! The fish is always fresh, the toppings are generous, and the flavors hit every time. Portions are really fair for the price, and I love that they're consistent! whether I order once a week or multiple times in a row, the quality is always the same. Honestly, it's become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving poke(which is all the time TT) Highly recommend if you want fresh, delicious bowls that don't feel skimpy!

    Went back ... craving for crab salad - Kaylee who helped me was so patient and followed every bit of the recipe I have. She was very pleasant and accommodating. I always advocate the experience you get visiting a food place is sometimes not just the food but, the interaction and type of service you get. Kaylee surely delivered that... good experience! For sure will be back...

    Coming from Seattle I really hoped to find a delicious poke place and this spot nailed it! They have lots of delicious toppings and sauces to choose from and they offer free miso soup too. Yum! The staff was kind and friendly too! Go try it, you'll love it!

    I was in the mood for Poke & decided to give this place a try near the busy part of Pearland. By far one of the best places I've had Poke from in recent memory... -Poke Bowl Regular 4/5: I got the Salmon/Tuna as my meats & the fish simply did not disappoint with the eel sauce/spicy mayo combination. The crab salad & avocado gave it a creamy texture that blended well with the onion & garlic bits. The seaweed/pickled radish was very sweet & then sour honestly one of my favorites things out this bowl. -Miso Soup 4/5: They offered a Miso Soup FOR FREE.... I could not miss on that I love miso soup ..... The broth was delicious & the seaweed & tofu conjunction made this free soup very worthy. This place is a must if you want a Poke bowl, it honestly blew my expectations out the window & the service was excellent.

    I got there right when they opened and got a regular bowl with brown rice. Their white rice wasn't ready yet, but maybe it's for the better since brown rice is healthier. This place is interesting since they put some sauces on first, I got eel sauce and ponzu on my rice. I then chose salmon and ahi tuna, which they put in a bowl with some mixers. For the mixers, I got green and sweet onions, sesame seeds, hot chili flakes, and cilantro. They add that to the protein and mix them together before adding them back to my bowl. I then added spicy mayo and wasabi cream on top of that. For toppings, I got masago, seaweed salad, mixed crab meat, avocado, and corn. Avocado is free here!! Got crunch I got crispy onion and garlic and nori strips. They also have free self serve miso soup. The portions here are a little smaller than other places I've been to but they're unique in the way they mix the protein with other items, which I think brings out a lot more in their flavor. I really liked my poke bowl overall. The miso soup was also really good, with plenty of tofu and seaweed, you can also add green onions

    We don't frequent Pearland that often, but when we did, we were on the hunt for a great poke place! This place has huge portions and fresh fish! I had the regular bowl with white rice, salmon, tuna, sesame seeds, green onion, edamame, mango, ginger, masago, and nori with a teriyaki sauce. The mango was so refreshing and sweet! I've never seen a place offer both pineapple and mangos and as a fruit lover I really appreciate it haha! My bf had the large bowl with brown rice, salmon, spicy salmon, and tuna. He also added green onion, sesame seeds, cilantro, mixed crab meat, seaweed salad, edamame, masago, sweet corn, and ginger with a shoyu sauce. Overall, we'd definitely be back when we are in the area again!

    Considering how many times I've been here since it's so close, this review is long, long overdue. Along with sushi, poke is one of my absolute FAVORITE foods, like ever. Not only is it flavorful and delicious, but also extremely nutritious (rhyme intended). Ordering is pretty simple, you pick your base, which can consist of rice and or/salad, your proteins, mix-ins, sauce, and allll the toppings you'd like. The fish is always hella fresh, and the toppings and sauces are consistently good. Also, they have these flavored green teas which are only a dollar during happy hour, highly recommend adding as well. Super refreshing and delicious. The staff is super helpful if it's your first time, ordering is pretty simple, and this makes for the perfect on the go meal as the way you order is simple to how you would in chipotle. The location is clean, and has enough seats for those who are dining in, which is rare considering that poke is more of a grab-and-go food. Never had a bitter experience here, and plan on returning again and again.

    Spicy salmon and tuna bowls. So yummy.

    This is an excellent poke bowl restaurant. Bright and clean and airy. The salmon and tuna tasted very fresh. You can also get free miso soup (which we found out that you should let it cool off first!). On a plus plus side, our server was adding food to one of the trays. Before taking our order she washed her hands with soap and water. BONUS. Excellent light choice for lunch or dinner. We will be back!

It was one of those desserts you keep thinking about long after you leave. This wasn't just dinner -- it felt like an experience. Easily a 10/10, and honestly, it deserves even higher.

We were one of only a few tables on a Tuesday evening and we had very attentive service! Our server came back for many, many sushi, sashimi and nigiri requests. We started off with our appetizers - I especially enjoyed the shumai and yellowtail jalapeño. We put in a ton of sashimi orders which came out pretty quickly! We also put in several specialty roll orders at the beginning of dinner though those came out later in our meal. By then, we were getting full from quite a few nigiri and sashimi pieces - though we did have a lot of orders which probably got a bit confusing! When the specialty rolls (the stars of the show) arrived, we took our Yelp-worthy pics of a gorgeous sushi boat before we dug in! The boat made for such a great presentation and it was so easy for all of our party to reach in and grab a few pieces. The standout of the night was the namesake Yamamori roll - that eel, tuna and avocado combo was such a hit! I enjoyed all the other specialty rolls as well. For dessert I had a few bites of my friend's green tea and was so impressed - the flavor was very well-balanced and not too sweet. I had a full serving of the red bean strawberry ice cream - it was my first time having a red bean flavored ice cream and I really liked it! I found that it balanced the sweetness of the strawberry well. My friends opted for the banana and Oreo tempura which looked delicious. This is a great AYCE option if you are in the Pearland area, and it's worth the drive even if you live elsewhere!

On Tuesday evening, we were 1 of 3 occupied tables and received fantastic, attentive service - our server was very patient with us as we awaited our full party's arrival and perused the lengthy menu, which AYCE enthusiasts will notice is very similar to that of Sushi Masa. Before long, our hot appetizers arrived quickly to the table, followed by the chilled/marinated tataki, which helped assuage our ravenous appetites! It took a little longer for our nigiri and sashimi to arrive, but we quickly divvied up the fresh, well-portioned spoils. Note that yellowtail/hamachi is not listed on the AYCE menu, though our server confirmed that it is available to order. Our selection of rolls took the longest to arrive - yet they were well worth the wait! The namesake Yamamori roll and the lemon-inflected Nemo roll were standouts; all the maki were well-sized, sturdily constructed, and tasted distinct from one another. We concluded our episode of gluttony with banana tempura à la mode, a deliciously crispy and creamy end to our sushi feast. While I typically batch our group orders to help out our servers, I think it may have worked against us as we ended up waiting longer for large sashimi and maki plates as opposed to smaller, personal orders. It's possible that our wait time was simply a reflection of their level of staffing for a weeknight; it's hard to predict how things might flow on the weekend when there are both more sushi chefs and more tables. All in all, Yamamori is a solid choice for folks in Pearland and south Houston - I'd come back if they added seared options to the menu or if I found myself craving sushi in the area!

The staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything throughout my visit. I really had no complaints at all when it came to the service, and I definitely want to give them credit for that. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. I ordered hand rolls, and I wasn't impressed with the quality of the fish. It tasted and felt much more on the cheaper/lower-quality end than what I would expect considering the prices. Looking through the menu, I also felt that a lot of the items were overpriced for the overall quality of the food. For the same price, there are plenty of other sushi restaurants where you can get noticeably better-quality fish and an overall better meal. I was honestly surprised by how many five-star reviews this place has because my experience didn't really match them. The service was definitely the highlight, but between the smell, cleanliness of the space, food quality, and pricing, I personally don't think the sushi is worth what they're charging.
