Ka Sushi Houston

My husband is a Heights Native, and well, we both love all things food. If it's a restaurant in The Heights, we've probably been there. As of right now, I can tell you, for the past several "date nights", family dinners, out of town guest dinners, and business dinners have all been held at KA. This is THE BEST dining experience in The Heights. We are there at least once a week, sometimes twice. KA has never missed. Some things we've come to really appreciate: Amazing Staff!!! Warm, friendly, and on top of things! They all work together - servers help each other even if it's not their table. We've done everything from large parties to just the two of us, and frequently have a new baby with us. No matter what we do there, they've always done an impeccable job! Drinks: If you order one of their craft cocktails, yes, it may take a moment, because when it hits your table, it's a work of art. There was a design drawn in the top of my whiskey sour - it was so beautiful, I didn't want to drink it, but of course I did. The bartenders know their stuff! If you want something to hit the table fast, order a glass of wine or a beer. Their bar has everything at every price point. Food: Where do I start?? First, some reviews state sushi rolls are small. I didn't like sushi for a long time because of big pieces - either a ton of rice, or too much in the bite in general. The balance of textures and flavors in the rolls here is amazing. It's high quality and we are always satisfied with the portion. The Deep Sea Roll is something I crave every week. We love the fact that we can order a variety of things and they pace the order so we don't have six plates of food on the table at one time. This is a place each dish should be savored. At the same time, we've never felt like we've waited a long time for our food. The menu has so many delicious options besides rolls. We find something new to try each time we go. When I saw "Chocolate Shrimp" on the menu, it wasn't something I was in a hurry to try. My husband finally pulled the trigger and it's one of the best things we've ever eaten. The Whole Fried Fish is fantastic. The Chef Selection of Sashimi is very generous and the servers walk you through the selection so you know what you're enjoying. Here are some of our other favorites: Spicy Edamame, Three Little Pigs (delicious pork belly), Tuna and Watermelon, Smokey Tempura Roll, Negimaki (great beef dish!), Lobster Ramen, anything on a hot rock (the mushrooms on a hot rock is really fun, great variety of mushrooms), the foie gras with a quail egg...oh, my!!! So delish!! And again...Deep Sea Roll!!! Happy Hour is a great time to go - they put a lot of their best dishes on the Happy Hour Menu and a generous selection of beer, wine and cocktails. It's true, there isn't a formal kids menu, but the Yakitori is similar to teriyaki chicken - it does the trick for our 13 year old. If you just ask, they'll also make the ramen for kids and they have some other creative suggestions. Vegetarian? There's a menu for that. Vegan? There's a menu for that. Just ask! The staff bends over backwards to do anything you ask. Service: A++++, Drinks: A++++, Happy Hour: A++++, Menu Variety: A++++, Deliciousness: A++++, Presentation: A++++, Cleanliness: A++++ LOVE KA! Best dining experience in The Heights!
