Izakaya Hi: Your Premier Destination for Sushi and Karaoke in Houston

4.6/5 izakaya serves impressively fresh sashimi, and the sushi is shaped with just the right balance and texture. The draft beer comes in frosted glasses, which is a great touch, and the fried dishes are crisp and delicious. The only drawback is that the staff can be slow to respond and seem unfamiliar with the menu. I'll come back again, but for an izakaya not located in Japan, it's already done quite well.

Pretty good restaurant, with good sushi and general bowl offerings. We did come for a birthday and they did not have any small complementary dessert which seems a bit odd (thought it was pretty common. We did ask the staff about it, and our server ended up buying us an ice cream herself! We were super ashamed, but thought it was a cute gesture.

I’m so happy to have found this place down the street from my job! Found it on Google, decided to try it for a birthday lunch for my daughter. I contacted the restaurant ahead of time for a question and the host was so helpful and kind. Upon arriving, service was prompt and extremely accommodating! It was not very busy, not sure why for a Friday but the food was perfect! Our server, Tom was absolutely the BEST; he made our lunch fun and was still very good at his job! Thank you so much for the great food, the kind staff; we will absolutely be coming back! We tried a variety of items such as the spicy edamame, katsu, the angry bird sushi and the Osaka roll…all very good! Thank you!!

A favorite spot amongst my sister and I, we do happy hour here quite often, adore this place! Drunken mussels- a go to of ours! Black mussels in garlic sake over a crispy rice cake! Devine. Sushi roll- Classic California and Tiger. ( extra ginger a must) Lemon drops- Made everytime to perfect. Ambiance- Quiet but lively. It’s very cozy, they do have a small outdoor section. Karaoke rooms are in the back. But a very nice place to go drink, eat and chat. Customer service is always superb. Highly recommend!

The food was okay. It was bland and too oily. But, portions were big, and prices were very fair. Service was just adequate. Our waitress was not too friendly, but others there were friendlier. They were not accommodating about not adding chicken to omurice and said it was "impossible". I couldn't buy the fried rice and pay extra for the omelette. They were willing not to add bonito flakes to the agedashi tofu. I liked the makkoli

Im from the south side of Houston and love a good sushi place. I was in the area and asked for recommendations and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the mussels, shaggy dog, some kind of rib sushi, and a crunchy California roll. These were sole of the best mussels that i have had in a long time. The foods presentation was great. I am upset because im about 45 minutes away from here and would love to put this place in my rotation but it is too far. I see there is karaoke but I just went for lunch. Not in my opinion the greatest atmosphere but it was more so about the food for me.

An unforgettable experience. The food is outstanding. The sashimi, especially the toro, is absolutely exquisite—on another level. The miso soup is excellent, and the yellowtail with jalapeño stands out for its beautiful presentation. A very special highlight is that they offer fresh wasabi, which is a true delicacy. For wasabi lovers, this is a must, as very few restaurants offer it. This was my second visit, and once again everything was delicious. Although they do serve alcohol, it is not their strongest point. Highly recommended. Food: 100/100 Alcohol: 60/100 Service 90/100

Aaaaaaaaah!---mazing! If you haven't been here, go now! The product is fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere, inviting. The service tentative and friendly. So so good. Happy hour is a must! Will definitely be frequenting this place. Michelle, our server was knowledgeable and awesome!
