Katami was such a great experience from start to finish. We came for my sisters’ birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Our server, Phi, was very attentive throughout the whole meal and made my family feel really welcomed. Another server, Apple, noticed he was busy and came by to give us tons of recommendations while we were deciding, which was super thoughtful of her.

The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend the King Crab Sando, the amaebi nigiri with or without uni, and the madai tempura roll. Everything tasted fresh and well executed. They also have a daily specials menu, which was pretty cool and gave us even more options to choose from. I was eyeing the foie gras PBJ milk bread but decided not to get it. A friend told me it’s really good, so I’ll definitely be ordering that next time along with the bone marrow to try.

They also suprised us with free slices of cake, which made the night even more special. We also ordered the apple caramel bread pudding for dessert and I would highly recommend it. It was the perfect way to end the meal.

Overall, great service, great food, and a really memorable dinner. I’ll definitely be back.

I had an excellent first time experience at Katami. I ordered the Toro tartare, chirashi, and the apple caramel bread pudding. The toro tartare is their most highly recommended appetizer and goes down like butter. The fish quality on the chirashi was superb. The rice was also perfectly cooked and the toppings were thoughtful and enjoyable. I love any place that chooses to use real wasabi, as it’s always such a treat. The bread pudding was incredibly delicious. You must save room for dessert. It was a 10/10. My waitress was Apple and she was amazing. She has amazing recommendations and knowledge of the menu. Ben, the manager, was also very kind and knowledgeable. This was an incredible culinary experience and I will definitely return.

Came here for our anniversary and had the omakase.
The staff seated us at the counter, so we could watch the sushi chef prepare everything fresh.

Great experience overall — the sushi was excellent and the service was very attentive. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Katami was an absolute experience from start to finish. The service was spectacular… every staff member was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely excited to guide us through the meal. They even surprised us with a few extra bites to try, which was so appreciated and made the experience feel special and personal.

The food was completely out of this world beautifully executed, bold, and unforgettable. Every dish felt thoughtful and perfectly balanced. The drinks were just as impressive, packed with flavor and creativity. Definitely order the one with the red dots… trust the staff on this one. They explain how it literally opens up your senses so you can fully enjoy all the food, and they were absolutely right.

From service to flavors to overall vibe, Katami exceeded expectations in every way. A must try if you’re looking for something truly elevated and memorable.

Delightful sushi / Japanese food experience. The service was exceptional, the fish was delicious and everything was prepared to perfection.

The restaurant is quite large, with a nice sushi bar, a full bar with good seating and two main dining areas. Reservations are highly recommended.

All the sushi/sashimi items were freshly prepared and superbly presented. The wagyu beef on hot rock was very good! The deserts were superb, with the shave ice one being made out of ice flown in from Japan

The service was friendly and prompt, with a lot of good suggestions.

I dined at Katami for the first time last night, and everything was absolutely outstanding. The standout dish was the Toro Tar Tar. It was rich, vibrant, and incredibly flavorful. Every cut of fish was exceptionally fresh and melted in our mouths. They also provided complimentary dessert as my wife and I were celebrating her birthday. I’ll definitely be returning to Katami to explore more of their menu.

I was eager to try Katami with how in love I am with their sister restaurant, Kata Robata. The atmosphere is definitely a step above. The menu is different but familiar. And the food was equally amazing; not better but the same level as Kata Robata, which is a 10/10 in my book. I’m not articulate enough to do the food justice but know it’s high quality and thoughtfully crafted. The additional cost to go to Katami is in the ambiance and service. For reference, the photos taken are from separate visits.

Katami is now my favorite sushi spot . Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and fresh . I don’t remember the name of the dishes however. The service was also outstanding . Reservation highly recommended.

Update :

Went to Katami again and once again the food & service was both exceptional . We had the tuna sashimi flight and then pretty much every roll on the menu. All were absolutely delicious, can’t recommend all the names but took pictures. The one that had gold flakes on it and the texas roll were the ones that stood out to me the most .

This restaurant is probably the best overall Japanese restaurant in Houston, which is fortunate to have a number of good Japanese restaurants. I have been here multiple times and can honestly say I have never had a single dish that was even remotely disappointing. It is a little pricey and often very busy– reservations are highly recommended.

All the food was so rich and flavorful. The pork shu mai was so buttery and wonderfully fatty. The king crab sando was so rich with the bechamel sauce and garlic bread like taste. The toro tartar was so good with the mushrooms. The stone mushroom rice was just hearty and warming. All the rolls were so good- we got the sake chili roll and the lobster one. The apple bread pudding was to die for- so so so good
