We decided to give it a try after we heard great things. We were not disappointed at all. Loved everything. The food was AMAZING. We tried multiple rolls and every single one was great. The Ramen and Shrimp tempura were great! The appetizer We got was the mix aderezo and I wanted more. It was so delicious. Our server was super nice and kind. She was helpful. The place was clean and had an amazing vibe. The owner introduced himself and we got a great vibe from him. Felt very welcomed. I recommend
We came here to celebrate our anniversary. The food was amazing and our server, Karina, made this an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great atmosphere and delicious food. Repeat, delicious food!! I can’t wait to come back and try new dishes. Thank you for making tonight a special one.
"It's a place I would go back to; I loved the service. Ana took care of us and she was incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, my favorites were the tuna tartar and the tempura shrimp. My roll (Ebi Spicy No Sake) was very fresh and tasty. My husband's roll (Kokai) was also flavorful, but we didn't like that they put too much eel sauce on it, and it was overly sweet and a bit overwhelming. That was the only thing we didn't like."
First time visit, owner stopped by and explained his Latin fusion aspect of this great place. ** Make sure you watch the TV by front door, they show a lot of their dishes to help you decide ** Rolls were awesome, their sliced thin fish was so tender (could be a meal if more), drinks were so on point (we focused on their rum options), and overall our new favorite place. They pair Latin and sushi so well, never knew it was a thing.
Jose gave excellent service. My son wanted to have his 18th birthday lunch there. The food was delicious and we plan to go back!
Thank you everyone for helping make his day special!
We loved our experience at Kokai! The atmosphere was amazing! The staff rocks! The food was beautiful and on point! Great spot for date night or a celebration!
Great service and delicious food! Mafer gave us recommendations, polite and friendly.
A Sushi Haven with Exceptional Service
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kokai Sushi, and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The ambiance, the food, and, notably, the service, all contributed to a memorable birthday evening for my girlfriend.
Our waitress, Ana, was the epitome of hospitality. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm for ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she took the time to explain each dish with enthusiasm, making thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences.
Ana's attentiveness throughout the meal was remarkable. She seamlessly balanced being attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring our needs were fulfilled.
Kokai is not just a place for outstanding sushi; it's a place where the staff make you feel like a valued guest.
Fantastic sushi, cocktails and appetizers at Kokai Sushi Lounge.
Valeria made us feel so welcome and her service was excellent. Very attentive to guests and the delicious masterpieces they serve. Each dish looks like art and the fusion of flavors is fantastic. Our second time and the consistency is perfect. Highly highly recommend Kokai
Fluent Spanish! Loves it. Also got someone to speak English just in case! 😉 appreciated the last minute squeeze even if they do reservations. Was coming from San Antonio before going back. Definitely happy to have stopped here! 😊 Hope the locals appreciate it just as much. The gyoza was amazing too. Wasn’t too soft, wasn’t chewy, just right! They have a wide selection of alcohol which was great to see. A lot of communication amongst servers. It was great service and food!
Valeria was the best server we have had in a long time. Great recommendations and great mise en place.
Valeria was an excellent server, her suggestions for food were always meticulously picked by any of our food allergies. Her service was a 10/10. Our food was very well prepared and it didn’t disappoint. I strongly recommend this place and Valeria as your server.
There is an interesting Hispanic vibe here, which is warm and welcoming. Our server Karina is very sweet and helpful.
The best Sushi in Houston hands down!! Valeria was an excellent host.
10/10 will come back.
Came here for dinner with my husband and we really enjoyed our food. It’s a quaint spot with a smooth jazz vibe. Our waitress, Valeria, was very attentive. I would recommend coming here.
Everything that came out especially from the sushi bar looks delicious. The presentation was immaculate and it makes you want to order everything! The portion is generous too. It’s not the typical traditional Japanese cuisine but more of trendy fusion Japanese cuisine. It was a Friday night and they had live performance. A beautiful singer that plays the flute too. The service was not just good but excellent and the owner/manager came to greet everyone personally. I’m impressed and would highly recommend this place.
Great food so delicious definitely will be back!
Ana has outstanding customer service and was such a delight! Thank you so much my kids loved this place so much!!!
Amazing experience! Friday night 8pm no reservation and they not only made room for us but lavished us in handcrafted cocktails and exceptional food. Go go go! You won't regret it! JOSE rocks!
We really love this sushi place owned by a Venezuelan. The room is very well decorated, they have a large choice of cocktails, everything is delicious and original with some mixed exotic and Japanese flavor. On the top of that the service is excellent. This place is popular so it’s properly better to reserve your table.
