    Classic soicy tunah and Forbidden roll.
    Chef T.

    Wow. Finally got to try this place. It appeared on my IG feed and although most IG recommended places aren't great I still decided to try this place after seeing his IG videos on the process of making vegan sushi. It was raining hard and the chef still came out with my food even though I texted for the rain to die down once I got there. What dedication! Very polite and held the umbrella until I closed my car door. I ordered the Forbidden sushi roll and the Classic Spicy Tuna. Let me start my saying I am an omnivore. The spicy tuna was really superb. The forbidden roll I had doubts after people put reviews about it being mixed and too many different flavors but personally I thought it was good. The miso smashed potato was excellent and the presentation is spectacular. This chef obviously puts care into what he cooks and takes into consideration the quality he wants for his clientele. This vegan sushi is enough to make anyone go vegan for life. I also want to note that the price range was equivalent to what is being offered here. I see folks trying to justify the pricing and why you should pay this amount. Any surgeon getting 6 figures is never questioned and in fact surgeons have years of experience and schooling they go through. This chef has proven he has well over 16 years making sushi so the price for his food is reasonable in my opinion. Great job chef! Really made my day with an amazing lunch!

    Inari and Lady Red

    Recommend? Yes!!! I highly recommend this vegan sushi ghost kitchen! Like other reviewers have mentioned, they make their "fish" in house. I ordered the inari and the Lady Red and they were both delicious. In a world of avocado rolls, they're a real standout.

    What an exceptional Sushi experience! The food is as beautiful as it tasted! Chef Chris is amazing and you can taste the passion and love for food in his work! He's a down to earth humble guy who is a master at creating culinary magic! We are lucky to live close by cuz this will be my forever favorite spot!

    Avocado roll, papi shrooms roll, forbidden roll

    So good and unique! I found this place on Yelp and wanted to try it! I found their website and checked out their Instagram and it looked so cool! I ordered online the morning of the pickup and the pickup went smoothly. It was a house and there is directions on how to pick up. The presentation of everything was beautiful! Each box came with soy sauce ginger and wasabi. I also like how everything had a label because we probably would have been confused on what was what. We ordered the following and my review follows- The green goddess- I liked it, wasn't too much of the spinach inside but still good Forbidden- this one is interesting, so many different flavors in one bite but so delicious! I'm not too much of a fan with fake meat since it freaks me out a little but everyone liked this one and I thought it was interesting! Avacado- typical avacado, nothing to special but as always good Truffle edamame- this one was a bit sweeter but dipped in the soy sauce delicious- had a mix of sweet and salty Spicy Mami, hot tamale- one of my favorite, not too spicy, but had sweetness of the sweet potato I do want to order from here again and try some of their other items! Highly recommend even for someone who's not vegan or vegetarian!!

    Hands down in the top 2 vegetarian sushi I've eaten globally and I hunt for vegan sushi everywhere I go. The taste and presentation as was the creativity of the menu were amazing. It's a bit pricey but the chef clearly takes sushi making as an art. He even threw an extra order in for free for the holidays. If you like sushi, especially if it's vegetarian I highly recommend you try it.

    Very disappointed this food wasn't honestly terrible couldn't even eat the food at all was under cooked and tasted not fresh like what going on !!!

    that delicious a** roll I can't recall the name of

    wow!! amazingly delicious vegan sushi! leaving Houston rn, actually in the air heading back to Oakland and all I can think about is how delicious, well thought out and expertly executed the vegan sushi spot is! it's drive up, curbside service and the owner is very kind and warm. had a great conversation with him since it was near closing. be patient with him, this is a one-man-show and this man is making some delicious a** sushi!! did I mention how gorgeous each roll was?! can't wait to go back! y'all better do whatever you gotta do to keep this place open and I ain't joking !

    Home plated.

    No dine in option, so I can't speak for the ambiance but the outside and curbside service was nice. This was definitely worth the drive fiwm Humble to Midtown. I've been wanting to try this sushi for a while. I must say that it's the best I've had since moving to the Houston area. Very fresh ingredients and the boxes were packed so neat. I had the Truffle Edamame Roll, the Papi Shrooms Roll and the Spicy Dragon Roll (GF) with fresh micro-green. I'm sure I'll be ordering again.

    Inari-Tofu Pockets, Seaweed salad

    Loved the Inari -Tofu pockets! I'll definitely be ordering again! Packed with flavor and very filling!

    Classic Spicy Tuna Roll
    Nivia H.

    The food was excellent! I got the rock n roll soooo good and i got the classic tuna roll sooo good. I will definitely go back. And the service was amazing too.

    Rock n Roll and Spicy Dragon Roll. Both really good!!!
    Helen M.

    Very good sushi rolls --ordered the Rock n Roll and Spicy Dragon. So flavorful and lovely presentation, I will definitely order these again but it was my first time here and need to try so many more of the other options that looked irresistible. Definitely will be back here for sure to explore more of the menu! I did take out and they brought it out to me so don't know what their physical location is like but will try that next time.

    Part of the duckstache hospitality group (which I can't not support because I love Handies duozo…read moreand you can find me at Handies every week) The nigiri and the chicken fat rice was great, just how I expected. However the maki here is pretty average, not what I expected of this group. Very casual location in a little food hall like area. Next to a fried chicken place and a pho place. Horrible parking nearby tbh since it's downtown Overall considering the experience, the food, the location, the parking, the price, I likely won't return

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

The vibe was moody and lightly lit, and the restaurant was busy with people celebrating. I ordered the sunomono, maguro crudo, salmon and king crab hand roll, and signature nigiri. The hand rolls were probably the best thing I've ever had, I even ordered an additional spicy tuna hand roll because I wasn't ready for them to be over. My sister even ordered another flight of nigiri because it was so phenomenal. To finish, I ordered the ube sponge cake, which was the perfect little treat to end the night. Seriously, I'll be dreaming about this meal. If I'm back in Houston, I'll definitely be coming back!

There were lots of rubber ducks scattered everywhere lol. Ordered a carajillo and the drink tasted GREAT! On the other hand... I sipped from each of my friends' ube espresso martini (did not taste the same between both drinks, bartender might have poured too much alcohol; couldn't appreciate any ube flavor). Not a fan of that drink (2.5 stars or less). HRW order - 1st: sunomono (cucumber) - 2nd: hotate crudo (delicious scallops!!) - 3rd: spicy tuna & sake handrolls - dessert add-on: matcha mochi (ok, can skip this) Other foods ordered: - karaage: chicken was well made, lots of flavor - sashimi (3pc): saketoro, madai, & hotate - unagi nigiri: eel was really good - spicy scallop handroll Even if you don't need to use the restroom, you should still check out the bathroom. The walkway was a pretty bamboo forest haha. Aside from the ube espresso martini, everything else was delicious and good! I recommend Aiko and would dine here again.

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.

Also had to highlight their house made soy sauce which was extremely umami, very unique and sets this place slightly apart from the many other sushi joints in its range Truffle crab chawanmushi was certainly a top highlight for me as well - rich truffle oil with the perfectly light steamed egg and sweet crab chunks, just an incredible dish and I could have easily eaten several of these The uni was also extremely fresh and buttery and was nice even for someone who doesn't usually like uni In the same class and range as places like Kata Robata and I would say it's a strong rival! Would come back again!

The Chawanmushi was decent but it was a little different than I expected. It had a little bit more liquid at the top of the egg custard. The flavor was fine nothing overpowered and it was soft and had that gelatin mush to it. The carbonara udon pasta was creamy and tasted exactly how I imagined it would which was smooth and creamy with a little crispiness from the pieces of bacon. Just make sure you mix the egg into the pasta to give it that rich creaminess. The only dish I would say that was underwhelming was the crispy rice. I guess my expectation would be a little less rice and a balance of the crispy rice around it. It reminded me more so of a thick fried outer crust. However, I did like the fish and meat they used on top of the crispy rice. They all had their own flavors. The Handroll tasting is probably the most interesting dish I ordered. It seemed to have a good portion of fish and they try to keep the seaweed nice and crispy by leaving the plastic film over the seaweed. The flavors of the Handrolls were subtle. They did make a nice presentation. The salmon flight was pretty good you definitely could tell from the different cuts and fattiness of the salmon. My favorite was the aburi cheese the scorched cream cheese gave the salmon a melted coating of cheese and made it silky and smooth. The nigiri platter was almost like a flight of nigiri. In the order I ate them they got progressively better. My favorite was the scallop and tuna. The only roll I tried was the royal chutoro. The portion was a good ratio of rice to fish and the tobiko gave it a slight crunch. as service and parking. The parking costs $10 and it's only Valet. If you decide to park on the curb somewhere you will get a parking ticket (I saw a guy placing tickets on cars). The atmosphere was upscale and you can tell they try to emulate Japan with the decor(zen inspired). Overall, the fish was tasted fresh and the vibes were there. However, I do think everything was a bit overpriced compared to competitors.
