Kira

“We ordered the chef’s selection for two, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Everything felt intentional, from the atmosphere and vinyl music to the presentation and quality of each dish. The chefs were incredibly professional, and you could tell a lot of care went into every plate. Our waiter was just as welcoming, attentive, and genuinely added to the experience. This was something memorable. We’re still talking about it days later and already looking forward to coming back”

“Highly recommend visiting Kira in Houston. I had the lunch tasting and the scallop crudo was the highlight of my meal. The quality was fresh and the spicy tuna handroll paired with their chili crisp was a perfect combo. Finished with the matcha kakigori, but liked the raspberry one more. Besides the food, they have a modern vinyl collection and great service. Excited to visit again.”

“Wow, what a intimate and great service restaurant for hand rolls and other Japanese food! Everything that we ordered was amazing thing, fresh, and delicious! Again, like I mentioned, the service was immaculate. I really like the vibe of the restaurant which includes the art, music, service. The food came out fast. We got the four hand rolled set, which came with crab, tuna, salmon, scallop. I would rank them in this order: crab, scallop, tuna, salmon. One small point that I like to mention was, I didn’t necessarily finish my plate since some of the stuffing of the hand roll fell onto the plate, but the waiter took that plate away before our dessert came. Overall, I highly recommended would come back.”

“So so so so good. Would definitely recommend this to friends and would consider coming back. The staff - Danny and chef Frankie were the best. Very friendly, took the time to chat with us, shared their experiences, gave us recommendations, explained what goes into our orders and was attentive to our needs. We ordered a couple of items and these items DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We ordered the "Alive" cocktail, scallop crudo, chirasi donburi, the tuna donburi and the raspberry shaved ice (you dont want to miss that). Everything was delicious. The miso soup that came with the donburi had a smokey flavor to it and was very different with other miso soups we have had. Scallop crudo melts in your mouth. Fish in our donburi were fresh. Shaved ice had all the textures and flavors tied together nicely. We were told that there are promotions everyday like sunday has $10 cocktails and Wednesdays has a special price on the wagyu donburi. We will definitely come back to try the wagyu donburi! All in all, 5 plus stars. Everyone should try it! Call to make reservations or check on availability beforehand since the seating is all at the counter and may be limited during busy hours.”

“There are many Japanese restaurants in houston that taste way better than Kira. Its overpriced for that quality, sashimi is not even that fresh, the nori seaweed for the hand rolls are not crunchy or crispy, miso soup is salty, garlic seasoning for the starter overwhelms the scallops, the hollandaise sauce with lobster is weird, cream cheese aioli sauce also overwhelms the crab which also taste weird, and the shaved ice melt within 5 mins it served. For Donburi, we ordered ikura and blue fin tuna, they are just alright. I would not recommend to anyone.”
