Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Houston is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. Traffic in Houston peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Very Authentic Sushi and Yakitori experience in the heart of Houston. Perfect for couples or solo trips. Sake and excellent wines by the glass are served 10 feet away at Soho . This place is very good and if you have been to Japan or want to experience a truly special food experience you will visit Kokoro. Ive been for both Dinner and Lunch in 24 hours and still can't get enough.

We had dinner here two nights in a row and really enjoyed it, a great Japanese restaurant in the heart of Houston! Standouts for us were the spicy tuna (highly recommend) and the barracuda, which was delicious. They had a fresh delivery from Japan one evening, so we tried the sea urchin, it was excellent but quite expensive for one portion. The chicken yakitori was also very good and worth ordering. The chicken fat rice, however, was overrated in our opinion, weβd probably skip it next time. The only downside was that service was quite slow on both visits. There were plenty of chefs visible, but the front-of-house service didnβt match the kitchen pace. Overall, a solid spot with some excellent fresh fish and dishes. Weβd happily return for the quality of the food!

Some of the most fresh high quality sushi Iβve had in a while. Really high level food in a nice easy environment inside Bravery chef food hall. Ideal if you are looking for some top shelf sushi without the big restaurant hassle. Friendly staff and incredibly fast service.

Very cool atmosphere with a full bar inside you can get a drink and sit for amazing sushi. Every dish was quality and the service was perfect. Perfect place to have a lot of different options.

Korkoro is located within a Chefβs hall. We went in looking for good sushi, and we definitely found it there! We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the chefβs professionally carry out their craft. The fish source is listed on the wall, so you know exactly what you are getting. The service was friendly and prompt. The yakitori was done to perfection, the sushi was yummy/fresh and the salad was spot on. We ordered a few rolls, sashimi, chicken wing yakitori, shiitake mushroom yakitori, shishito peppers and cucumber salad. The cool thing is that you can order from other locations within the chef hall and eat together, regardless of your choice. The vibe was modern, and chill. We got craft beers from the bar. Iβd recommend this location for anyone looking for good sushi. We would return when back in Houston.
