I always order the Basa fish with black pepper sauce, and this time was just as good as the previous times. Loved the chicken with 3-flavor sauce, and super happy with the amount of Thai basils in there. My son, who was so Americanized and preferred his pizza and pasta, also loved and devoured this dish with rice! I also really loved their pickled daikon (one of the two free side dishes) - very refreshing with a hint of spice. I wouldn't order the sizzling Kalbi beef again even though it was tasty, but a bit overly salty. It was well mechanically tenderized with much fat. Instead of paying $16.99 for a few pieces of this, I rather get a tofu dish next time. The free dessert soup with mini tapioca was refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised that their bathrooms were pretty clean with everything working!

This late night spot hits every time when I’m hungry ! I recommend trying their appetizers first —and then tried their special sushi rolls. Their Taiwanese sausage is really tasty as well. Love this place 10/10 P.s they have boba tea drinks I love strawberry frappe ! The workers all know me here so I get treated pretty good service.

Good Sushi for decent price! Food was well cooked and fresh. The Avocado smoothie is definitely my favorite drink there. Atmosphere was pleasant, chill and relaxing. Good place for couples and large groups. Definitely coming back!

It's a no I got stir fried beef in black pepper full of onions just smoothed beef and onions I have to give it a 4. I also got spicy green beans and its just fried beans with a spicky pepper on top no flavor but the pepper. I had a passion fruit that was different 2 glasses of wine and I'll give it a 8 best thing I ordered. I was expecting Asian cuisines and got soul food at its worse I'll try 1 more time and order something easier to see if this place just looks good like a lot of places in Houston.

Asian classics with modern twists! A friend recommended me to try the shrimp and shredded pork where the texture is better than the taste, which is also great. This is not your normal Asian restaurant: it's a modern spin on the classics. The drinks menu is big too. The taste is usually about expected from the Asian classics, but the texture is better. When you order stuff like the Chef's Specialties, you'll get pickled radish, peanuts, and a sago drink with your order. I'd come back again, especially with the value you get from this!

Been coming here for a few years now and it never disappoints! The sushi is always fresh, love the spicy crab and uni. Their hot dishes like the kimchi stew and fried rice with soft shell crab are super flavorful and comforting. Portions are generous, service is quick, and the quality is consistent every time. One of my go-to spots!
