Houston RuckFebruary 5, 2011The rice ball (occasionally vegetarian), is best when grilled. The heat toasts the rice kernels and results in a nice nutty flavor.
Lynn PinaJanuary 5, 2014Sushi is mediocre. Best thing I had was the coconut custard dessert with the green tea sauce.

Get the seared fatty salmon nigiri and pork belly and Wagyu skirt steak kushiyaki skewers.
Vashti JJanuary 23, 2011Great atmosphere, lovely servers. Also, SO many vegetarian options - thanks Kushi!
annie carliniDecember 22, 2011braised pork belly. on repeat. oh, and the champagne cocktail. on repeat.
michael brashierJanuary 30, 2011The Hitachino Japanese ale was very good but a little expensive at $24/pint
Jason HermanMay 4, 2013This place is so obnoxious and pretentious! They keep the music so loud and obnoxious with a DJ to make it seem hip and over the top. Don't waste your time here!
Miso fish overrated and pricey. Skip Brussels sprouts and yakisoba. Get beef tataki and eel sashimi.
Skip the beef dishes that are too well-done and focus instead on the tender pork belly and the flavorful duck.
Geoffrey MaughamNovember 23, 2011Menu has been drastically reduced with many fewer vegetarian options. Such a shame.
The wasabi ice cream tastes like cold wasabi. But after a few bites, you've had enough wasabi. Worth trying though.
Chuq YangJuly 29, 2010The o'toro sashimi was great. It says 5 pieces but I got 6! Maybe everyone does...
- michael brashierMarch 12, 2011check your CC statement. They charged me twice but when i called they said they didnt show it on their end. AMEX told me it happens all the time with the company that owns this restaurant.
