    Love this place, it’s inviting and comfortable, with very friendly and prompt waitstaff, the food is always excellent and service is great, you can either cook your own food right at the table on the hibachi or they will prepare it for you in the kitchen. The menu is extensive and has a huge appetizer menu and freshly made sushi. The server can help you pick out your meat selections and sides, and everything comes to the table nicely prepared. A great place to go with friends and family for dinner or a birthday celebration!!

    We love melting pot. Has been a destination for many of our special dinners. Since the chain left California, we always search it out when we travel. The Houston location was great. The food it always good but our server was top of the mark. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. Highly recommended

    The music was SO loud. It was a small crowd of families. I would think the music should not be that loud ever- it doesn’t create an “energetic” environment. We are not there to party or dance we are there to eat and converse with friends and family. It’s impossible when shouting. Also this is a residential neighborhood. Keep music down at nights. Thank you

    Best sushi in Houston Texas! The japanese fish arrivals are just perfect and vary with the seasons. The more sophisticated menu dishes such as the Kampachio or Hamachio that combine fish with citrus are just a delight. If you are into meat the hot rock beaf just melts in your mouth. Even the deserts are delicious at Kuu! The only small downside is that it is a little bit expensive, but the quality of the ingredients just makes it all worth it!
