As always, Bori gets 10/10 with flying colors. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. My favorites include the seafood pancake, the premium beef cuts, octopus, and a he spring garden cocktail.

Unfortunately, a disappointing birthday experience at one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. I’ve been wanting to try this location since it opened since we’ve been to the Spring Branch location dozens of times. This one falls short… by a lot. I made a reservation on OpenTable stating it was my birthday. It wasn’t acknowledged at any point during dinner and the waitress Angela didn’t ask if we were celebrating anything special that night. We asked to be seated somewhere quieter but they said there was nothing available; the restaurant wasn’t even half full. It took the server a long time to finally come to our table for us to place our order because she said the other table wanted their meat cooked well done which takes a lot longer. There were half a dozen servers floating around with nothing to do (again, not a full restaurant) - they couldn’t help? After we ordered, it took an extremely long time for side dishes to come out. Then the meat came out before our seafood pancake, which I found odd since it’s an appetizer. They said that their kitchen was backed up when I inquired about it. Then we see the table next to us who got there half an hour after we did get the exact seafood pancake we ordered. I asked about this too and the server said it got mixed up because we were sharing a table with this other party so they didn’t know which side to serve it to. Sigh. They were apologetic but gosh, such a disappointing dining experience for my birthday dinner with my mom (her first time trying Bori!). I cannot recommend this location because of these mishaps and hope they will make the necessary changes to get this location on par with their Spring Branch location.

I continue to be impressed with BORI. The environment/decor is so beautiful and the setting with ample parking is a real treat. I feel pampered the moment I arrive and the food continues to excite me and amaze any guests I bring. It is really my go to place to take out of town visitors. I love the food-mixtures of meat and seafood options and loads of small plates. The staff is well trained and very easy to work with. I have nothing negative to write. This place is a gem.

We’ve been their Spring Branch location many times and very please at that place. Tried out their new location in midtown and very disappointed. Our 3 kids wanted to order Dol -Sot Bibimpap, the waiter told us that wasn’t ready in menu yet and suggested Finger hot stone instead. They brought out 2 and forgot 3 rd bowl. Waited almost 40 mins , they brought Bibimpap (?) . The kids were very upset. Whole night, we didn’t get to refill our drinks once. Never come back here again.

The dry aged my strip was the worst cut of meat I’ve ever eaten. Grissly, tasteless just overall bad. Luckily they gave me a replacement of their ribeye.
