"HOUSTON Kata Robata in Houston operates on a level most places only dream of. Despite its long sushi list, plus izakaya dishes like silken chawanmushi, and smoky grilled hamachi kama, the Upper Kirby spot never gets bogged down or skimps on quality. Everything runs like clockwork, as though it’s been pumping out sushi and grilled skewers since the beginning of time. Whatever you’ve come here for—a proper omakase at the sushi bar, or a simple bowl of ramen—Kata handles any situation with ease." - arden shore, team infatuation
