    The duck and the lobster were both somewhat tough. The shrimp was excellent.

    Love this place. I recommend the Omakase (tasting menu). The sashimi is the best too. Great for a special occasion or romantic date.

    I love Kuu. First time outside as most of the year outside is miserable in houston. A bit of the forgotten feel of out doors seating but no rush
