saana K: Had the sundae roll-it was delicious and their miso soup is amazing. The owner and staff were super duper kind and even gave my sister a little teapot as a birthday gift! Very nice :)
Billy Ellison: Ask Derek for a blue allie drink. Try the summer roll, Kobe Mandu and duck cigars for apps. Ask if truffle yellowtail is available. Best roll sundae roll. All the nigiri and sashimi are excellent

CultureMap Houston: A favorite weekend brunch spot, must haves include the red velvet pancakes, chicken fried ribeye and eggs and the creme brulee french toast.
Frances St. Cyr: Honestly, the red velvet pancakes were okay. But the creme brûlée French toast was amazing. And the fried chicken.
Teresa: The MAX and cheese with truffle cream sauce is fantastic. The banana bread pudding and ice cream was even better! Great $6 happy hour deals.
