The atmosphere was great, the menu was beautiful, whoever did their menus - top notch, portions were small for the price, the meat was mostly large bones and as tough as shoe leather. I would not recommend the rib plate at all. Honestly the atmosphere was so nice and service was good, it is disappointing about the food and cost. I wouldn't go back because of the very small portions and quality of food.

Overall: Was not expecting the food to be as good as it is here. Delicious.
Price: Prices here are relatively cheap compared to other Asian cuisine locations. Especially for the food quality.
Food: came here twice and ordered a variety of things before posting the review. Vietnamese udon noodle soup was great. Different and super flavorful. Pan fried pork dumplings are hard to pass up, and were great here as well. Wife ordered the chicken pho which she enjoyed, and especially liked the teriyaki sauce that came with it.
Ramen specific: I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and was extremely impressed. This place is now in my top 3 all time ramen in Houston so far as of the date posted. Not your typically milky white creamy tonkotsu, I believe it was mixed with some pork based broth but it was absolutely great. Egg was nicely marinaded, pork chashu was nothing out of this world but was still great. Wife was constantly stealing spoonfuls of my broth, she also loved it. An absolute must try.
Service: Dealt with three different servers, everyone was nice and helpful. No issues here.
Atmosphere/cleanliness: If you can overlook the weird fancy spa aesthetic you’ll be ok lol. I definitely prefer authentic Japanese style feels, but it won’t stop me from coming back. Dining area has looked very clean both times.

Pan Fried Pork Dumplings
The dishes are excellent. The flavors are outstanding. Not your typical Chinese restaurant. The portions are small, but the price of the dishes is reasonable. This is a restaurant that is a must to try if you live in The Woodlands and Spring area. This will be a regular for us as long as the quality and taste continue.

Triple Delight
The food here is pretty good. The pad thai was VERY different. It was much sweeter than any other I've had. I asked for it to be spicy, but couldn't really tell if any spice was added. The kids were really impressed by the kids fried rice and orange chicken. The China bun appetizer was delicious! As were we're dumplings

This restaurant gives very modern vibes with an excellent customer service. Food is very delicious. Has my favorite sushi by far (Lafayette). Also the ramen here is not your typical sushi. It feels very warm and welcoming as if it were homemade. I do recommend this place for everyone.

Lafayette Roll
Been here twice, the 1st time, later in the evening, was very good and the rainbow roll was amazing although the service was a little slow. The 2nd time we went was closer to lunch the pad Thai was OK but the beef and green beans was pretty gross. Beef had a very mushy texture, would recommend eating here only for the sushi so far. The salad was also very good.
Everything I have tasted has been amazing ! Service the same Emerald was excellent! Must try this restaurant out. Also try the Vietnamese coffee you will not go anywhere else to get it. Well plated and perfect amount of food. You are missing out if you don’t try Rakuu

Kid Orange Chicken
The food was literally alllllllllll amazing!!!
We ordered Crab Ragoon’s and Pork dumplings pan fried for appetizers and loved it!!
My best friend and I ordered three sushi rolls, they Super Dragon, the Gensaki & the Shaggy Dog roll, our absolute favorite was the Super dragon!! I personally do not eat jalapeños so any roll that came with it we asked for it not to have it and our waitress relayed the message to the kitchen. Only downfalls were I didn’t see that it listed Peppers for the Super Dragon roll and I’m picky and don’t like peppers at all so I slid them out of whatever roll I ate, and our waitress never pre bussed, all of the plates we had from the beginning we had until the very end. My best friend and I work in the food industry and we pre bussed and set all plates stacked up at the end of our table for our waitress and she came by and never took them 🤦🏽♀️. She also brought us our check before we even realized we wanted to try dessert so we closed out and then had a new tab for dessert which isn’t a big deal, however definitely an extra unnecessary step. For dessert we ordered the fried banana with ice cream and it was to die for I’m obsessed with bananas!!
Nice!! I have a special place in my heart for sushi and this place hit the spot! Fresh food, friendly staff and very clean environment. And guess what, they are still following ALL of the CDC Covid-19 guidelines! I promise, you will not be disappointed
Had a romantic dinner date here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious and the decor was elegant. Each plate was presented artistically with an eye for detail. Absolutely worth a trip.
