    Why 5 stars? Because this is a welcomed new addition to Woodforest. --- --- --- Tenzen is the latest restaurant to open in Pine Market, a new retail development that comes with high priced rents and a fickle demographic. Opening a local business and seeing it thrive is almost impossible, so I am hopeful that the great people of Woodforest and Montgomery Country support it. They certainly seemed to spare no expense in turning an otherwise bland strip mall canvas into a trendy dining space that feels like it's in The Heights. I ordered two pieces of nigiri and two sushi rolls. I thought the Salmon Belly Nigiri and the Holy Baked roll were just okay, to be honest. But I really enjoyed the fatty tuna nigiri and the Bubba Gump roll. I was told that they still consider this to be the soft opening and that the menu will expand, hopefully sometime in September. I will definitely come back at that time to try the ramen, among other things that might not be on the menu as of today. Everyone I interacted with here could not have been more friendly, which makes it really easy to root for this place. Support Tenzen, fellow community members!

    Interesting place. The decor reeks of high class and high cost- very nicely done. The service is a work in progress- several visits have had new servers that didn't know how to use their order pads, let alone anything about the menu. The food is very good but it's not up to the level of the decor. It IS very good sushi, fresh and nicely prepared, but it's really not as special as you're led to believe when you walk in the door. Unfortunately, the prices reflect the decor more than the quality of the food. Let's call this a work in progress and give it another try in a few weeks. Tons of potential.

    Love this place. Beautiful atmosphere and great drinks. Check out their lunch specials!

    Great ambiance, amazing drinks, and the owner is very sweet and attentive! I recommend trying out their lunch specials or the Wagyu Hot Rock.

    Date night at Akashi was fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and…read moreimmediately given great recommendations for both food and drink pairings. We started with the egg rolls and gyoza as appetizers. Both were delicious, but the egg rolls were especially impressive--they were packed with flavor. The gyoza was cooked perfectly and tasted great as well. My wife ordered the Volcano Salad and absolutely loved it. It was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. For my entrée, I tried several sushi rolls. The Godzilla Roll was my favorite by far. It had the perfect combination of crunchy and soft textures with incredible flavor--you don't even need soy sauce because it's that good. I also ordered the Baked Salmon Roll, which was something new for me. I loved that it was served hot, and the flavor was absolutely spectacular. The service was excellent throughout the evening. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made our date night even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Akashi!

Sushi has always been solid--nothing life-changing, but consist and gets the job done. Service? A bit of a wild card... sometimes great, sometimes you're left wondering if you accidentally turned invisible. Tried the hibachi for the first time and... meh. Not terrible, not amazing--just kind of there. The shrimp was tasty, the noodles were decent, but the fried rice (my favorite part!) was a real letdown. Somehow managed to taste like straight oil with a side of disappointment. Overall: come for the view, stick to the sushi, and maybe let the fried rice sit this one out.

    After a grueling drive back from Dallas, we stopped here for dinner. We still had a 25MIN…read moredrive...:stopping here was the highlight of our trip back. The ambiance was top tier - which I wasn't expecting. You can tell a lot of locals dine here. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The menu is quite extensive. I feel there's something for everyone - including children. Because my children have a LIMITED PALETTE! There was nothing appealing for my three year old. However my five year did enjoy a plate of garlic noodles with chopsticks- she is a pro at this point. Yes, they have chopstick helpers for beginners. As for the adults, I had the the Lychee martini (cold and refreshing), spicy soup, two hand rolls (tuna and yellow tail). My husband ordered the Salmon hibachi, and the miso soup (which was fantastic). I will definitely be ordering this next time. He also ordered a specialty roll - don't ask me which one. I can't remember - it was deep fried and he was happy with it. Overall we had a lovely experience here. I look forward to coming back here

I'd never too busy but there are always other people. They are currently closed on Mondays. The vibes are nice and I enjoy when they have videos of just walking through Tokyo on the tv but regardless they are always so friendly and make me feel welcome even when I'm all by myself! I always come back!
