We made reservations for their omakase. Everything was done so well, from the service to the food. They were so kind and attentive. The fish was fresh. I really enjoyed the kobachi platter. My fiancé loved the freshness of the fish. And the warabi mochi stole the show at the end. A fantastic experience that I would highly recommend. They also mentioned they change their omakase menu monthly. Must go back!

Food was amazing. Def on the smaller portions side. Sashimi is top notch. Service could def be better. More focus on timing of dishes. I like the my rolls at same time as my sashimi. And didn’t order entree until after finishing starters. More attention all the way around needed. I will be back to try Omakase (only available on Tuesday or Wednesday with rev at Sushi bar). But prolly not for a family dinner.

About the restaurant

Chefs Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee have over 25 years of combined experience in Japanese cuisine and sushi. They established their culinary careers in Houston where they worked together for years before creating their own restaurants.

Pham and Lee teamed up to bring new curated dining concepts to Houston’s food scene and kicked off a series of omakase pop-up dinners called Secret Taste. Pham and Lee then opened Kokoro in the Bravery Chef Hall in Downtown Houston followed by Handies Douzo in the Houston Heights.

Aiko is the newest concept from the team featuring a sushi bar and seated dining.
