    Egg Rolls
    Stephanie R.

    The decor of this place is cute and the bar is directly in the middle. The waiter was great and knowledgeable. He recommended some appetizers and the Nigori which turned out to be great. We ordered the egg rolls, sea bass, salmon belly, garlicky tuna roll, and daddy doll roll. Everything was fresh, fast, and mouthwatering! I will definitely be back!

    Crab Puffs , California Roll, Super Crunchy Roll

    Super crunchy roll - 9.5/10 - $14 - Soo good. Flavorful, crunchy, and saucyy. California roll - 8.5/10 - $9 - Tastes like a normal california roll, pretty basic as usual but still yummy. Crab puffs - 9.5/10 - $8 - One of the best crab puffs ive had. So cheesy and fresh. Loved it! Overall one of the better sushi spots ive been to. Everything tasted fresh and delicious

    Food was bomb! We started off with chicken dumplings and spicy cucumbers as appetizers (not pictured because they were quickly devoured). Then we got a variety of rolls (all pictured). We got a good mix of rolls with a hint of sweetness, spiciness, and even fried chicken lol - first time for everything! All the rolls were delicious. Beware the fried chicken roll (big boy country) comes with a LOT cream cheese which made it less than enjoyable for me. Otherwise, the service was great and they have a sizable menu with lots of options and generous happy hour times!

    My new fave! Quiet, casual, good value. They have specialty nigiri starting at $4 a piece which are inventive and tasty. Also unique items like Uni or scallop shooters. The Uni is delicious! Very fresh and $12 which is a fair price. Pictures is Uni, kizami salmon, trufacore (albacore w truffle), and bleeding escolar topped with masago. Friendly quiet restaurant at weekday lunchtime I was the only customer at 12 noon.

    I dined solo here on my last night of a biz trip. It was close to my hotel and highly rated. Great atmosphere and music and lighting. I sat comfortably at a four-too table. The front bar was nearly full. The back sushi bar was empty at first but someone sat there later. There was stuff on the bar and not too inviting to sit there alone. I got the miso soup, salad and edamame from the Happy hour menu. Everything was discounted but portions were generous. I loved the mushrooms in the soup. Also the seaweed Wa speeder tenderness and the scallions crunchy- the way I like it. I also got an order of salmon sashimi and two unagi sushi. Everything was tasty and fresh. Service by the handsome waiter Nathan was attentive and not overbearing. The place was about 30-40% full the whole time which was relaxing. I would come back here.

    Fried Soft Shell Crab, Tuna (Sashimi), Salmon (Sashimi), Super Crunchy Roll

    Food came in quickly as soon as the order got placed. The waiter I had (his name was Anthony) was extremely friendly and was patient with me when it came time for me to order and always checked up on my table for refills if needed. the overall feel for the place was comfortable, the choice of music wasn't overwhelming.

    I love sushi places that also offer crab Rangoon, though they refer to them as crab puffs. Anyway, the menu is extensive and varied. I've seldom take a look at the menu and see so much that I already want to order from them on another day so I can try more, but I will with this sushi place! Both rolls were delish! The crab puffs were perfect, not too much crunch, stuffed with crab and cream cheese! Yum! The only this that would've made it better is if the wasabi were more separate from the sushi as I've seen others do like using the ginger to create a wall around it.

    Salad
    Carolyn C.

    We were greeted warmly at the door even before we entered the building, and the gracious service continued throughout our meal. We were in time to take advantage of happy hour, which featured specialty rolls at $2 off. The salad was fresh and crisp and colorful, with a bright ginger dressing. Sushi is beautifully presented, and everything tasted very fresh and umami.

    I live nearby and decided to eat Japanese. Top Sush has lunch specials. I ordered salmon teriyaki. You choose between salad and miso soup. The ginger salad's serving was generous. The 6 oz of salmon came with steamed rice and grilled veggies. The salmon was overly cooked. The grilled veggies were not that flavorful. I have a better salmon teriyaki for less than $15 at another sushi place. The restaurant is a bit dark. I don't know what the objective is in having it so dark at lunch.

    Chicken Fried Rice

    A decent sushi place with plenty of options for various needs. We ordered takeout and the food was ready on time. The staff was polite and happy to help. The is some bar seating available but the table layout is good too for a casual sushi eat out.

    Sashimi three ways. Tuna & salmon...like budda!!!

    We really love this place from the day we walked in! After thinking this place was fairly new, we learned it's been there 18 years!!! I think we didn't realize it because it's in a two story strip center that we don't normally frequent. How did we even find it? It's one of the only sushi spots not too far from us that's open on Sunday morning! Bonus!! Ambiance: Think strip center so only windows in the front where the door is located. That's fairly standard so nothing unusual. When you enter there is a small waiting/reception area. It's a tiny bit confusing because there isn't a hostess stand. You'll just walk through to the "other side" where the bar is located and someone runs up fairly quickly to greet you. The sushi bar is in the back. They've done a nice job of keeping it clean. Not too fancy but nice enough to spend $$$ for sushi! Service: We have always had the same server, Kim, and she could not be nicer and more attentive!! Food: We keep coming back! The sashimi is cut bigger than I'm used to but man, it's easy to eat when it's so buttery!! I love the hot rock because it's fun and the sake butter adds the extra. The yellowtail is such a lovely and light dish that is standout! ‍

    Shrimp &Cream Cheese Sushi Roll, Crispy Calamari, Crab Puffs, Salmon w/Cream Cheese Tempura (Called 'Vegas los Vegas')  AWESOME!

    Loved the food here! The fish is super fresh and high quality and even the non-sushi menu items had…read moregreat flavors and were well executed. I got the pan daiquiri as my drink to start and my friend got the herbed lavender lemonade. For food we shared the hamachi crudo, the chutoro nigri, the kanpachi nigiri, the A5 tartare, the kani handroll, The kinoko yasaimono, and the hot scallop dish to share. The pan daiquiri was SO good. The smokiness from the mezcal hits you first and then the sweet and creamy after taste takes over. It was so well mixed and I would highly recommend trying this if you are a mezcal lover like me. (9/10) The herbed lavender lemonade was too tangy and sweet for my liking. The lavender flavor get lost in the drink. It tasted like a typical lemonade, nothing special. (5/10) The hamachi crudo was so fresh and I really enjoyed the sweet and tangy broth. I'm not sure I would call it tom kha broth but it tasted good regardless and paired well with the tomatoes. (7.5/10) The chutoro nigiri was SO buttery and melt in your mouth delicious. I would definitely get this again. (8.8/10) The kanpachi nigiri was fresh and I enjoyed the sauce paired with it. It was my first time trying amberjack and I liked it. (7/10) The A5 tartare was super unique and well seasoned. There was plenty of tartare compared to the amount of milk bread you are given to eat it with. The uni, caviar, pate and waygu all mixed together was a decadent combination full of flavor. My only note was the contrast in temperatures that I did not love, the tartare came cold while the milk bread was warm. Overall, a very luxurious and tasty dish. (8/10) The kani handroll surpassed my expectations. Typically I don't go for crab first, but I did enjoy the flavors paired with the crab and the hand roll was well filled. (7.8/10) The kinoko roll (king trumpet mushroom roll) really surprised me. I was weary about getting this roll because I normally don't opt for vegan options, but this king mushroom was so well prepared and the sauce was so delicious that dare I say that I enjoyed this more than some of the fish/meat sushi rolls I've had in the past. (8/10) The hot scallop dish was one of the best bites of the night. The scallop was perfectly charred and cooked and the creamy polenta base with the umami salmon roe, with the fried red cabbage to add texture was amazing. I would definitely order this again. (9/10) Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Aiko and the food surpassed my expectations. I loved everything I tried and do want to come back to try more. The service was quick and helpful with the menu. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there are some free street parking spots around the plaza. The ambiance is definitely upscale and classy. It's a great place for a date! My only complaint was that I made a reservation for 2 at least a week in advance and upon arrival, though they had plenty of open tables, we were seated at the opposite end of a table that was already occupied. We were close enough to hear their entire conversation throughout dinner, and I just thought it was an odd experience because that had never happened to me before. Though it did not hinder me from enjoying the food I would have preferred to be seated at our own table.

    I thought Aiko delivered a really memorable meal. Overall I'm giving this place 5 stars -- the…read morequality of the fish and the execution were excellent -- though personally I did find the progression of courses a little rich toward the end. For context, Aiko is part of the same group as Doko (their sushi omakase concept) and Handies Douzo (their handroll-focused restaurant), and you can definitely see the overlap in technique and flavor profiles across the restaurants. We went for the Valentine's omakase menu. The meal started with the Oyster Duo. One had a yuzu granita and aguachile that was bright and refreshing, while the other had a roasted onion soubise with smoked trout roe that leaned richer and more savory. Nice contrast between the two. One of my favorite early dishes was the chilled zaru soba. The buckwheat noodles had a great chewy texture and the mentsuyu broth was light and refreshing with mirin, mushroom, and seaweed notes. It was a really nice palate reset. The smoked ocean trout sashimi (masu) was another standout. It had garlic aioli on top with oil and black pepper, and the tomato added a crunchy brightness that balanced the richness of the fish. It's a simple combination but worked surprisingly well. The temaki course was excellent. The snow crab handroll had this creamy mayo texture with chili and crunchy shallots, and you can tell they roast the seaweed sheets right before serving because the nori had an incredible crunch -- honestly some of the best texture I've had in a handroll. It reminded me a lot of the style they do at Handies. For the hirame crudo with pomegranate and shiso, the flavor was good but a bit more subtle. I think the pistachio really helps that dish; without enough of it the flavors felt a little muted. I know pomegranate and pistachio is a common flavor pairing for middle eastern cuisines. My partner has a tree nut allergy so they removed it for both of us. The wagyu fat rice was very indulgent. The first thing you taste is the wagyu fat, but the fried shallots and other crunchy elements help balance it out. The sauce reminded me a lot of something you'd get at Doko -- rich but very satisfying. Adding fried rice in between fish courses was an interesting choice from the chef, but I think Aiko aims to be more western fusion than a traditional Japanese omakase. The tuna trio was fantastic. The chutoro with negidare (garlic, sesame oil, scallion) was probably my favorite bite of the night -- super flavorful and perfectly balanced. The foie gras course leaned sweet and savory, almost like an eel sauce flavor with some crunch on top. Delicious, but by this point in the progression I was definitely feeling the richness of the meal. Dessert was a milk tea tiramisu that I thought was really interesting. The mascarpone layer had a tartness to it -- almost like there might be a little sour cream mixed in -- and one layer had a subtle salty note that balanced the sweetness. Overall, the food quality was excellent and the fish was clearly very fresh. My only minor critique is that the progression of courses skewed a bit rich for my personal preference, especially in the second half of the meal. That said, every dish was thoughtfully executed and there were some truly standout bites. If you enjoy creative omakase with some richer flavor profiles, Aiko is definitely worth trying.

This is nice to have consistent amounts of rice for each dish. I do wonder if this would make service slow or not because it did take awhile to get our food. There were a lot of to go orders and the way they package the items looked top tier. I did see they had a reasonable price for omakase for 2 ($95). This alone I think is worth trying this place out. However, I was not hungry enough for their omakase. I don't know if the machine played a roll in it but the seaweed was a bit soft and got stuck onto the dish. This made the quality of the rolls disappointing. The fish tasted fresh but I think the flavors and ingredients overpowered the fish. I would have liked ingredients that would elevate the fish and make it stand out as the highlight of the rolls. However, I thought they did a good job with presentation in each dish. I tried the rainbow row and that was a bit hard to eat because the seaweed got stuck onto the wooden board. I also thought the menu didn't reflect all of the ingredients that were inside of the rolls. They list the main stuff but not everything else. For example, I noticed that there was asparagus inside of the rainbow row but it isn't listed. For that reason I'd give it 3 stars. I wouldn't order this again. The next item I tried was the yuzu kissed and this was my favorite out of everything I've tried. I do think that it was missing something that would balance out the citrusy flavor but nevertheless it was still tasty as long as you don't douse the fish in the sauce, 5 stars. I also tried the Wagyu pitchfork and I think something that would've made this taste better would be a sauce maybe like an eel sauce. This would also get 3 stars for me. The spicy tuna roll was 3 stars for me and it was more so of the texture of the tuna. The tuna felt like it was stuffed in the roll and was like a soggy texture. Some of the tuna fell out as I was eating it and it also made the seaweed wrap around it a bit moist. I think if you go here you definitely should get the sashimi that way you could actually taste the quality of the fish. I tried the medium tuna and fatty and these were actually what I would expect from a place like this. The quality was there but the other items didn't hit the mark for me. The other item I tried was the Japanese scallop and the scallop was tasty and had that smooth buttery texture. The seaweed again kind of ruined the scallop for me. It felt like the scallop was shoved into the roll and was all soft and squishy when I picked it up.

    Had a fantastic evening at Kata Robata! Our server, Gabby, was excellent and attentive throughout…read morethe evening. My favorite was definitely the Kobe Beef Skewers - I could have just eaten those all night long! Deliciousness in every bite. I'm not a fan of raw fish, so while my family enjoyed a handful of crudo dishes and nigiri, I got to enjoy the Longhorn Roll. This roll was solid, nothing mindblowing. We all enjoyed the Spicy Miso Ramen! Rich, flavorful broth that rivals some of my top ramen spots. I forget exactly what dessert we ordered, it may have been their chocolate bread pudding, but it was so good that I was literally scraping the plate! There's a lot of menu options so I'd love to come back and try some more things

    Kata Robata used to be one of my favorite restaurants before I moved away from Houston. After…read morerecently moving back, I chose it for my birthday lunch with friend because I had such fond memories of dining there. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I arrived about 20 minutes before opening and had to wait outside in Houston's summer heat 93'F. While there are a few benches, there is very little shade, and guests are not allowed to wait inside. When the restaurant opened, there was no clear system for seating guests. Even though I was first in line, several people rushed in ahead of me, making the process feel disorganized. The biggest issue involved a $300 gift card that my friend had received years ago. She simply asked the staff to check the balance. When the server returned, he told us the manager had cut the card in half and that the entire balance had to be used during that visit. What bothered me was the lack of communication. We were never informed of the policy before the card was invalidated. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should be explained clearly beforehand. As two ladies having lunch, spending $300 was difficult, so we ended up ordering far more food than we normally would. The sashimi was fresh but cut thinly than what I've had at comparable restaurants. The hamachi kama, chirashi, and lobster mac and cheese were good. The green tea soufflé cheesecake was the biggest disappointment. For $10, it consisted of three very small cubes and felt overpriced. The waitstaff were attentive, friendly and professional, which helped salvage the experience. However, between the uncomfortable wait outside, the chaotic seating process, and the poor handling of the gift card, this visit did not live up to my previous experiences. While I have many good memories of Kata Robata, I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon.
