jon nguyen: Try the gyutoro nigiri - 72 hr braised short rib over the most perfect rice!!! let me make this clear...SUSHI IS ALL ABOUT THE RICE, NOT THE MEAT OR FISH!!!
Katerina T.: You can never go wrong with the Jar Jar Duck and foie nigiri. The fried milk is to die for!
Houston Chronicle: Don't miss: Machi cure; Hirame Usuzukuri; daily fish in parchment package; nigiri sushi made from the fish on the daily specials list; cutting-edge desserts. Read more.

Billy Ellison: All nigiri and sashimi are excellent. Kobe beef skewers are a must. Sit near front during busy times as wait staff can be amiss for long periods. For special cold and hot plates be prepared to wait
Kevin M: scallop foie gras nigiri is the best bite you can possibly order
Ed: I love the Longhorn roll and the (currently off-menu) Houston roll. It can get crowded there, so make a reservation and avoid the wait.

Quan Tran: The decor is very nice,the nigiri is about 2.50 a PIECE which is very expensive, but is fresh and great tasting. We got 2 specialty drink, 6 nigiri, 1 special roll for about 60 dollars as reference
Allen Arcade: The Teriyaki Ribeye Maki with avocado and sweet potato is great as either an entree or group appetizer.
Kathy Jones: Wanna talk textures? Try the Jaime Roll and Sea Bass Sashimi! Lychee Martini and Pineapple Mojito quenches your thirst!
