What people say
Sushi restaurants are known for their fresh and delicious seafood, expertly prepared by skilled chefs. Hando, located on W 11th Street in Houston, is a sushi restaurant that takes this concept to the next level with their unique hand roll bar. With a casual atmosphere and cashless payment system, Hando offers an authentic Tokyo "yokocho" experience that transports diners to Japan with every bite.
One of the standout features of Hando is their late-night bites menu, available until 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 11pm Friday and Saturday. The menu includes a variety of skewers such as ribeye, pork belly, oyster, katsu shrimp, or katsu eggplant, as well as chicken karagge and curry fries - perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings.
In addition to their delicious food offerings, Hando also serves up Mexican cocktails with an Asian twist. Their Hibiscus Agua Fresca made with mezcal, Creme de Violette, yuzu, lime, and simple syrup is perfectly balanced with floral notes and smoky undertones. And for something truly unique, try their Umeboshi Margarita (aka frozake) made with tequila.
Whether you're looking for a fun date night spot or just want to indulge in some top-notch sushi and cocktails, Hando is definitely worth checking out. With its cozy atmosphere and mouth-watering menu items, it's no wonder why this Houston gem has become a local favorite.
