“I come here every time I'm in town. It's honestly one of the best sushi places you will find. It's perfect for date night or for a solo meal. If you're dining alone sit at the bar. Tell the bar tender what you like and your allergies if any then let them order for you. It's a great way to try new things and get the whole experience this place had to offer! Make sure to get the fried milk for a dessert. I can't tell you how many times I have come in just for this!“

“What a delight! The perfect ending for a perfect weekend. I wanted to find a genuine, authentic Japanese restaurant to have dinner with my wife (who loves Japanese food) and celebrate our anniversary. Not easy to find in the US (we are from São Paulo, where Japanese cuisine reins due to the large immigrant population). After 7 years living in the US, we found the one. Katami is our favorite so far. Not only the food is absolutely fantastic, but the service is outstanding (Brandon, our server knew everything about the menu and spent as much time as we wanted answering questions and listening to us. At the end, he surprised us with a glass of champagne each and an apple crumble to die for, as a gift for our anniversary. Absolutely loved this place. And, if you are not not a sushi fan like me, you can enjoy delicious vegetarians and meat based options, such as the A5 beef and the pork belly miso soup I had.“

The service was fantastic, as the setup allows for the chef to have plenty of interaction with the guests and Chef Marcos was very engaging and enthusiastic about explaining the different techniques, fish and his own sushi history with us as we dined. My wife and I are no novices to sushi, omakase or tasting menus in general and this experience was both unique and memorable. I should note the restaurant is BYOB, they did share a sake shot welcome cheers for everyone and the passion fruit mocktail was excellent.“

We enjoyed the humor and jokes as well as the participation of other guest in the experience. I believe I counted 14 dishes and none of them disappointed. I enjoyed each of them equally. I must say the otoro does stand out but all equally fresh and prepared perfectly. The birthday sparkler added to the dessert for those celebrating a birthday was a nice gesture at the end.

To be honest though everything we have had there is good. The prime ribeye, the sushi rolls, the pork belly, the wagyu beef dumplings, and the yuzu miso black cod, yellowtail are all amazing and in rotation. Also If you enjoy a cocktail they have this Margarito with Tajin that is solid! I'm picky so not easy to please. Roka is top tier.“

I got the ‘kakuni’ it has a salty taste to it which I like when paired with the noodles. My sister got the ‘Niku niku’ this has a flavorful broth. It reminded me a lot of the Vietnamese pho.When I came back with my friends after January I got the ‘mentako cream’ (I think I spelled that wrong) with katsu. I liked the cold noodles, but the noodles weren’t very filling (I could have just been really hungry). The broths were more filling and are still my favorite.“

Kid's Ramen

“I came around 9PM and when we walked in we were immediately sat down and our waitress, Sophia was really kind and understanding about everything I enjoyed her service! I had the spicy garnet ramen and I liked how the broth tasted, the takoyaki was REALLY good but if you don’t like fish/sushi I wouldn’t recommend it. I also really liked the music they were playing. (Beabadoobee, jungkook, ichiko aoba etc.) Overall the experience was great and I would come again.Dietary restrictions: My brother asked about anything that didn’t have shrimp and our waitress helped him out!“

“This is honestly one of my top ramen places that I've tried in Houston. I had heard that the ramen here is very authentic, so I had to try it out for myself. I came here on a week night for dinner, and unfortunately, they were a bit understaffed. There appeared to be only one server for all of the tables, so it did take a while for him to take our order. I'm writing this review a few months later from when I tried this restaurant, so I hope that has changed now. He was very friendly though. I tried the tonkotsu gachi ramen. It was VERY delicious and flavorful. It didn't feel overly heavy like some other ramen places that I've tried. I can say that this does taste pretty authentic. I like the location of this place too because I live around here, and it's easy access for people around the medical center to go to. I hope this place stays here for a while! I would absolutely come back.“

“We have been searching for a good and affordable all you can eat sushi place, and we really like this place. Sashimi, sushi, soups, salads all very tasty. Kids pay by age which was also very nice. And the lady who attended us was great taking in consideration my kids and what they needed. She was very interested that kids ate something they like. She made things easy.Kid-friendliness: My kids loved sushi. They loved this place.“

“Overall had a great experience! We started at the hidden bar which was pretty neat. The drinks were great! My friend had an off menu drink that was pretty tasty. After the remainder of the part arrived we went back to the main dining area. It is bar sitting style with the items being prepared in the middle. I like the idea but if your party is larger than 2 it makes it a little harder to talk. The server walked around the parameter and sometimes it would take a bit for him to return back to us. I would have preferred to order from someone in the middle. They also started making everything when he put in the order instead of plating appropriately. Our crudo was coming out at the same time as our hand rolls and we all know those are time sensitive. It would have been nice to have more time to reflect on each item versus rushing through. The items we ordered were delicious. It's a more of a taco style vs standard hand roll. Prices are slightly more that comparable but appropriately so as it seems to be more generous with the fish or equivalent so that justified the cost. Everything we ordered was worth trying again.Make reservations as there isn't a ton of seating. I believe you can walk in and go to the bar which had some bites. Parking was good on a Sunday night. Don't miss the bathroom! Overall worth checking out. Will be back!“

“Really good sushi, fresh, good yellowtail and rice is nicely cooked, the soy bean paper was good as well. I was impressed with the size of the sushi for the price got 4 rolls and 2 pieces, plus some chicken skewers that were tender in a ponzu sauce.“

“We tried to find restaurants on Valentines Day but everywhere had a wait time of 30 minutes or longer. When we came here there was barely any wait time and we got to enjoy fresh and quality sushi. Out of all sushi restaurants I ate at in this area, this is my now go-to spot. It's small and has the nice cozy izakaya vibe.“

“Came with a date, she had the Sushi, I ate from one of the other concepts, but the pieces I managed to steal whilst she wasn't looking were fantastic! We split the tuna nacho's to start, which were unique and really tasty too.Pro tip, order through the QR codes and they'll bring the drinks to you - really useful if you're having a couple of drinks at the bar, which is surprisingly good for a food hall!“
