Description

The second-story location in the Rice Village is difficult to find, but if you're a sushi lover, it's worth the hunt. Try a sashimi assortment or the chirashi, which the menu describes as eight kinds of sashimi over sushi rice. These free-form dishes give chef Hori room to do his magic. The fish is fabulous, but it's the Zen presentations that will blow you away. Try pairing the sushi with a premium rice wine from the extensive sake bar. But beware, the head sushi chef is Japanese, and he doesn't do rolls. That task falls to his sidekick Alex, a Mexican sushi chef who knocks out rockin' roll creations that include mayonnaise, fried shrimp, avocado and hot sauce. What a contrast -- it's a world tour of sushi in a Houston parking garage.
