What people say
Sushi restaurants are known for their fresh and high-quality fish, and Kata Robata Sushi + Grill on Kirby Drive in Houston takes this to the next level. Chef Manabu “Hori” Horiuchi's traditional and modern Japanese cuisine features some of the freshest fish in Houston, flown in from Japan multiple times a week. The sushi and sashimi selections are outstanding, but the kitchen's hot dishes are equally impressive, especially the grilled meats cooked on the restaurant's namesake robata.
Kata Robata also boasts one of the finest selections of sake and Japanese whisky in Texas, served alongside seasonal cocktails, classic drinks, and a thoughtful wine list. For those looking for an unforgettable dining experience, make a reservation for an omakase - a chef's tasting menu that combines daily specials with Kata Robata classics.
