- Local Houston MagazineOctober 20, 2016Chef Philippe Gaston, his mentor and former employer, Manabu Horiuchi, for a fun & scrumptious take on the “Izakaya” – an informal Japanese drinking establishment that serves food to accompany drinks. Read more
ArtJonakAugust 28, 2015With the pedigree and direction of Kata Robata's Manabu Horiuchi and former Cove chef Jean-Philippe Gaston, this Japanese gastro-pub in Midtown is poised to be the next hot spot for fall.
Melike ÖzSeptember 8, 2015Tiger's.. Perfect coctail, a bit bitter with the green chillies in it and also lime, I loved it! And all the food we got, all were sooo tasty. Grilled oyster, homemade sausage, shripm&duck dumplings..
Jessica DennisonFebruary 14, 2017The food was delcious! Everything we tried was great. We came at lunch and it was practically empty. Service was polite.
Coming in on a Sunday? Try The South: collard greens, fried egg, and pork belly on a bun. Also the musubi bibimbap (not pictured)!
Christy LandesDecember 10, 2015Outstanding drinks and creative food. Both raw and cooked tapas style dishes are great. Octopus was particularly good. Service still a little spotty.- Jake HaenchenDecember 24, 2015The bbq wings, street corn, and octopus were quite delicious and offered an interesting take on traditional Japanese dishes.
- Fernando CovasJanuary 24, 2016Try the Korean chicken wings and the grilled octopus. From the raw menu: scallops with strawberries, snapper, and ceviche.
Alejandro MenocalMarch 13, 2017Went for $5 Ramen! Very good! Had the tonkotsu Ramen, highly recommended!- Fernando CovasJanuary 24, 2016Avoid the wait, find a seat at the bar, and get Noah as your bartender. He knows his stuff and is just a cool dude.

"For Happy Hour: pork belly, sweet corn, tuna tartare, roka chibi burger!! If you like sweet cocktails, order the lychee-tini (off the menu). For dessert, get the Yuzu Cheesecake (not that sweet)."

"Pork Ribs were good. The Walu Walu is excellent, if you like fish. Fried Milk desert is awesome. So is the Peanut Butter Semifreddo."
Markus Egger - 8.2
"Authentic Japanese food. Try the Hamachi Kama Yaki (grilled yellowtail collar) and the Curry Udon. If they have uni on the specials, get it."
