    I came here for lunch twice because I love the all you can eat lunch menu. The first time we made the rookie mistake of trying to order everything on the menu, but we got to really it home so that wasn't so bad. However, the second time I was focused on trying to eat as much rolls as possible, which wasn't much since I do enjoy their appetizers. My favorites are the mango salmon and cucumber wrap. We asked the waiter to recommend the rolls and it did not disappoint. The service was really fast and the good was good. I'll be back because I have a lot of rolls still left to try.

    Salmon Hibachi but with no rice and extra veggies

    I came here to eat lunch on a workday. They were very quick and fast. Our tables and chairs were stable. I ordered the salmon hibachi which came with a small salad, not pictured , and I requested to replace the rice with more veggies. It was really tasty and flavorful. I really like the more orangey looking sauce. The salmon itself was quite thin. I would like it to be a bit thicker but maybe that's just my preference. I would order this one again. This place is right on the side of the freeway, so it's really easy to go in and out. It's a good location for a quick lunch. Parking is free and out front.

    This is officially our go to spot for sushi! Yamamori is a small, cozy establishment but they definitely are mighty in flavor. The staff is always kind and very helpful. Service is slower paced but it's not a problem for me as the quality of the dishes are always top tier. Everything is fresh, hot, and most importantly delicious. A staple in our dining out rotation. They have a regular menu or an all you can eat option. We've done both and have had good experiences so it's really up to you to decide what kind of experience you want.

    Me and my husband were craving sushi at 8pm at night and wanted to try somewhere near home which is how we ended up at Yamamori. I decided to get the vegetarian sushi meal which came with soup sushi and nigiri. Miso soup- this was the very first time I tried miso soup and I realized I'm not into it. I don't think I enjoy the flavor of miso soup. It was a cold day so I thought it was worth trying. I also am not too sure if I don't like miso soup in general or their miso soup. Veggie sushi roll- your typical veggie roll which includes avacado cucumber, nothing to special but not bad Nigiri for veggies do not recommend- I also learned what nigiri is, the veggies I wish were flavored and then placed on the rice. It was very plain and even with soy sauce was not flavored well to me. They are really good at presentation! Both my and my husbands dishes were presented really well. I always wish sushi places have more unique rolls for vegans or vegetarian- this place doesn't have any other rolls for vegetarians other than the one I tried. Since we both got the meals/all you can eat- it was super expensive didnt seem worth it. I most likely won't be back.

    This little pass I've passed by several time and did not pay attention to it. It serves all you can eat. We went for lunch. The rolls included for AYCE was not very impressive so we ordered from the main menu. Be prepared becaue the size of the rolls are huge. The Seaweed Salad was perfect! The place is medium size with ample parking. It was very clean. Service was good. They were fast. But this was during lunch time. I can't speak for the peak times.

    Well i'm back again for second time this week. it's was a great experience before christmas but today it's a bit busier than before christmas! day after christmas for the lunch menu of ayce. It's a smaller restaurant ...i'm sure they didn't anticipate for AYCE, Service was good. our guy was attentive. today he looks like he's running the whole floor by himself with the help of the host. food is good and fresh. good portion. not skimpy on the fish! no fries for my kiddo but she mainly eats chicken nuggets, fries or white rice lol. we ordered her a whole rice bowl to eat. we had a variety of stuff. see pics .

    THIS PLACE IS FIRE The service is super friendly and speedy, the vibe is chill and makes you wanna stay for a while, and the sushi is delicious. I came with my wife on a date night and absolutely loved how kindly we were treated, it almost felt like family. (they also have all you can eat for $32 which is super dope)

    I went to Yamamori in Pearland for an early dinner before work, and it was such a good solo dining experience. The restaurant has a calm, clean atmosphere--perfect if you're looking to relax and enjoy a meal on your own. I ordered the Shaggy Dog Roll, which was crispy and flavorful, with a great balance of spicy mayo and eel sauce. I also tried a deep-fried roll with cream cheese--I didn't catch the name, but it was rich, warm, and really satisfying. I added an order of shrimp tempura too, and it was light, crispy, and fresh--exactly how good tempura should be. As was the GYOZA! Yum Even though I was dining alone, the waiter was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and made me feel totally welcome. The service really stood out and made the experience even better. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the food and service made it absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

    When I first came here it was good. When I came here last night for AYCE, it was great! On a Holiday Monday evening, this place was not packed, and the perfect spot for a post-river trip feast. The Gal and I came in around 7-ish. When they first opened I don't believe AYCE was an option, I could be wrong though. But I did enjoy the look, and the service at the time. This time through, we enjoyed the feast. Great location (for me). Parking is easy, they have a massive lot. The place is clean, and well situated. It's not a huge restaurant, so be careful during peak times if it's busy. Plan accordingly. Our wait staff was Tommy, he was great! Consistently checking in on us, and clearing the table before any dishes stacked up. Very friendly, and attentive. The food was great! With each AYCE comes a free sake, beer or beverage of your choice. See menu. That's a good deal. One interesting thing I noticed was that tempura is itemized.I had never seen single item veggie tempura before. I like it. The sashimi we had was very good, well portioned, and fresh. We liked the rolls we ordered too. Yamamori, Lover, Bingo Bango, Black Pearl (in that order of preference). Overall a great experience for AYCE, we will be back!

    From left to right: Pearland Roll, I-10 Roll, shaggy dog roll, 288 Roll, Caterpillar roll. All absolutely delicious!

    This is my favorite spot! The food is always amazing, the staff are always friendly, and it's decently affordable! Shout out to Nathan and Rolland for being awesome waiters. Always take great care of us.

    This is a cool place with great options. They offer a 35$ all you can eat dinner option and let me just tell you, totally worth it! It gives you the option of trying a variety of items in their menu. You can sit for an hour and a half limit if you are doing the all you can eat. The spicy edamame and miso soup were amazing! The shrimp tempera did not have any flavor in my opinion. The items are not prepared until you order them so that is a great feature. I feared it was going to be buffet style upon arrival. I am eager to get back! Going next week lol

    First I would love to say that the hospitality was great, everyone was kind including the…read morecustomers, which gave a comforting vibe especially because it was my first time eating here. The owner was right there on the line working hard with his employees and the ingredients were real and fresh. It took me such a long time to visit this restaurant because the concepts are not something you see often, after the eating the food it's like a spin on cajun, american comfort soul food with a modern day finish. I don't even speak like this, but after this fantastic meal I couldn't help but to let yall know it's worth a try. The first item I tried was the blackened fish jambalaya & it was really good & looked like it came straight out the pan! however i'm used to bland food so the kick from the seasoning took me back some. I then tried their punch and it was so good words can't even explain. Again packed with flavor , sweet and has a tang from what seems to be lemon. Fresh pineapples and strawberries were in the drink as well, I can honestly say it's one of the best 3 drinks i've ever had. If they sold them by the gallon i'd purchase it just to keep in the house. I even added some water to it when it was almost gone and it still tasted good! It mellowed out some of the sweetness, but not the flavor. I also got the Da Justo Sampler and at first it seemed like a lot and kind of overwhelming, but let me tell you it was so amazing. First of all the grilled cheese was exceptional, the best grilled cheese i've ever had. The wings were sweet and spicy and I didn't even need ranch for them, I thought it would ruin the flavor! & I'm a person who eats ranch with everythingg. The mac & cheese is the perfect example of what mac and cheese should be, the fries were okay though, I wish they were crispier but even with that it didn't stop nothing! Everything is still a 10/10. I went back and tried the Jambalaya a little later & again another 10/10, i've never had Jambalaya before so the flavors were so crazy , but I still found myself not able to put the fork down! The portions are very big from those two meals I got i was able to share with 3 other people and we all had nice portions ( i was not sharing that punch tho!). if your sick of your typical generic food options and want something out the box and worth the price or just want a cheat meal that's worth it, Krack Kitchen is your spot!

    Happened to be the area and thought this Cajun places sounded good when I was browsing through Yelp…read moreand it was SO GOOD! It's inside a gas station which wasn't too busy for a Friday night. You order at grill, but when they give you the receipt you have to pay the gas station attendant. Make sure you go back to the grill to show you paid for your meal. Now I will say it took 25 minutes to get our food but it was HOT and FRESH. We got the jambalaya and 10 chicken wings. The wings were crispy and juicy with a lot of seasoning. Everything inside the Jambayla was delicious from the shrimp, to the fish, to the sausages, etc etc. just all super flavorful in general. There are 4 small tables each with 2 seats which I appreciated cause I usually prefer to eat the food fresh rather than eating it in the car/bringing it home. Would definitely come back to try other dishes; but keep in mind that the location of the gas station is kinda not ideal. You'll know what I mean when you drive there. It's hard getting there/getting out. And again food takes a long time, so if you're looking for quick fast food this place is not it, but it is delicious

    I will try to be brief, but this was a very long, disappointing experience. I will also say I have…read morebeen here several times prior and had wonderful service and an awesome meals. My sisters and I came here today to simply enjoy crawfish & each a drink. One of my sister's ordered (medium spice) and her order was almost perfect, nice large crawfish, and the season was just right (see pic). Me and my other sister ordered medium season with "extra garlic." Our crawfish was so spicy we could only eat about 3. Also over 50% of the crawfish was tiny (see pic). My sister got a headache and her stomach was upset. So she was not feeling well. We informed Abigail, our server, of the problem and learned that adding "extra garlic" actually means "more spice" -- which we didn't know, we simply wanted extra garlic. Now, the manager, Gus, was informed. He came to the table and was willing to take the crawfish back and redo our orders. (At this point, we didn't know we were getting the same crawfish back). He also mentioned of the end of the season was the reason for the tiny crawfish. Tiny crawfish that should not have been served to us or anyone (regardless if it's end of the season). It should be used for fishing bait or tossed. And besides my other sister's tray was at least 95% large crawfish. Our server came back and apologized, and another employee brought us a tray of crawfish still with over 50% tiny crawfish. This time, the taste was better. We learned that when crawfish is not satisfactory; they take it back to the kitchen, rinse the same crawfish and re-dip in sauce. The server is not the cook or the leader, they have limited authority. The manager came back over and saw the size of our crawfish. He offered additional crawfish, (which I appreciated) but it ended up being the same size mix. The last mishap of the night is that I was doubly charged. A training issue. It took at least 30 minutes to get this rectified and I am still monitoring my account. I believe there were several opportunities throughout the evening that we should've been offered "real compensation" much earlier in the evening. But the offer didn't come until the very end --when my sister emphasized how long we had been at the restaurant; and all that we had experienced and that we should "at least" been offered a dessert or drink. The manager presented discount cards to use on another visit and apologized to us. Thankful. When experiences like this happen, I always think about the top leader, like a District Manager. A DM should train the on-site manager on how to handle/ satisfy issues "at the beginning." Also to ensure that the chef does not prepare and serve disproportionate food to customers.

While my bartender was initially slow with service, she did attempt to improve toward the end of my visit. My tab from that evening reflects multiple charges (approximately $45.00), and notes were left reflecting my experience. My primary concern involves the manager on duty. Due to heavy rain, I politely requested to exit through the side door closest to my parked vehicle. I had already remained inside for over an hour waiting for the rain to subside and ordered an additional drink simply to wait it out. The manager informed me that if I attempted to exit through the side door, she would physically confront me. When I later attempted to leave, I first tried exiting through the front entrance but was met with severe rainfall that would have left me completely soaked. I then proceeded toward the side exit. At that point, the manager physically grabbed me and forcefully threw me to the ground while it was actively raining. There is absolutely no circumstance under which a manager should place their hands on a guest or use physical force. As a result of this incident, I am experiencing physical pain, specifically in my elbow and hip. I also felt attacked, unsafe, and humiliated. The physical and emotional impact of this incident has been significant. I have videos and photographs documenting the weather conditions and related circumstances and am requesting an immediate and thorough review of this matter, including all available surveillance footage and witness statements. I expect prompt follow-up regarding how this incident will be addressed. What occurred was not only unprofessional but poses serious concerns regarding staff conduct, guest safety, and liability. Its been weeks and my finger is still swollen. My lawyer is working . Sincerely,Lynn W.
