Wow! So thoroughly impressed with the service we received last night. Our waitress in training and her trainer (didn’t catch their names) were awesome! They were fast, attentive, and super friendly. They refilled drinks, brought sauces, and picked up plates..all without us having to wait or ask. The food was good and the restaurant was clean. I wish I had taken better photos of our dishes but everything was so good, that we had eaten almost everything before I even realized I hadn’t taken any of my usual pics! We will most definitely be back!

This was my 1st time eating at this restaurant.
Apparently it’s a place my sister and one of her friends frequent, so they invited me to join them since I was on that side of town. If you know me, you know I’m a foodie who doesn’t pass up good eats, so I met them there during their happy hour.
We started with the egg rolls, yaki gyoza pan seared wontons, monkey brain (fried avocado stuffed with spicy tuna, crab, cream cheese, unagi sauce, wasabi mayo) & jalapeño poppers (crab meat, cream cheese, spicy mayo, unagi sauce).
The egg rolls were good…would order again. Everything else was just ok. The wontons were browned enough for us snd didn’t have much filling inside. The other two appetizers tasted pretty similar to each other as far as flavor & texture. We were trying no sushi items, but the monkey brain & poppers basically tasted like a sushi item. Yes, the word sushi is in the restaurant’s name, BUT we didn’t order sushi. Lol.
Now the entrée was delicious! We got the teriyaki ribeye, that came with steamed white rice & a vegetable medley of carrots, mushrooms, zucchini & broccoli. I substituted my steamed rice for fried rice & enjoyed every aspect of the meal.
Our waitress Ny, was kind, attentive & displayed good customer service. Truly appreciated these days.
I will definitely go back when in the Woodlands area.

THE GOOD:
-Outstanding service from our waiter (“Tommy”). He was kind, attentive, and so courteous. He most certainly had the patience of a Zen master handling our rowdy party of 10 with a few rambunctious children. There was not a single error in our orders… It’s refreshing to find good service these days when dining out, and Tommy was honestly such a gem.
THE BAD:
Sad to say, but the food was overall pretty low tier. Every sushi roll was wrapped sloppily, with mismatched shapes & forms, nothing aesthetically pleasing, and everything disastrously falling apart with the slightest nudge. The menu was elaborate – with pages upon pages of fancy names of dishes and interesting descriptions of each item. Enticed by the menu (and realizing it was also Happy Hour, woohoo), we sampled several appetizers & rolls. Unfortunately, there was nothing impressive about the taste of any of them. In fact, it was all disappointing compared to similar items found elsewhere… It was all practically grocery store sushi rolls with a bedazzled name, and most of it looked like it was assembled by someone who had taken a single sushi-making class off the internet. That, or they just didn’t care.
THE UGLY:
-Other turn-offs were rickety & unstable tables…
-And, there was also questionable black-green goo (mold???) on the ice of one of our drinks. We were so thirsty, we risked it for the biscuit (after our kind server brought us a new drink), but I would think twice about ordering ice in your drinks here.
So, shoutout to the stellar waitstaff, especially good guy Tommy.
But, “Try harder,” for the kitchen crew.

Great sushi! Loved the Truc Roll. Espresso Martini only ok but may be a preference thing. Parking can be tough. We had to park a fair distance away but not a big deal. Service with Jenny was great. Atmosphere very nice. Define quality sushi here.

So glad to make it in time for happy hour. Delicious snack of gyoza and crab puffs. Shout out to our waitress Jenny! She always had a smile and was super sweet about my daughter accidentally splashing soy sauce on the table. The Cali roll rocked with crisp veg and creamy avocado. The strawberry mochi ice cream was so good highly recommended you save room for that.

Visiting from Frisco Texas for Spring Break, Tried for Lunch, the restaurant, Top Sushi in the Shenandoah/Woodlands area of Houston. Really great sushi place with very friendly and accommodating staff and chef. They were able to customize and make sushi rolls vegetarian. Had the Philadelphia roll which they were able to substitute the salmon for avocado and it was real good, also had veggie roll, garden roll which was thinly sliced cucumber rolled with avocado and carrots, cucumber sashimi, avocado sashimi, and veggie udon noodle soup. Everything was fresh, delicious and flavorful. Definitely will be back next time we are in the area.

Great service, great food, 10/10 would come back. Stayed at the Hyatt 2 blocks away and had lunch here. Got the King Casper and Crazy Cajun rolls along with the Agedashi fried tofu appetizer. All of it was exceptional and fresh, and well presented. Very fast to refill drinks and get anything else I needed.

Went during reverse Happy Hour and was very pleased about the whole experience. The sushi tasted amazing, especially for the price we paid. I’m not fond of their spicy hand rolls but then again, I’m picky. Their salmon skin hand roll though was crispy and I will definitely order again. Customer service was quick, efficient, and friendly.
