    Came here for a rare night out with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed it! Arrived a bit early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table. The ambiance was nice; dim without being overly dark and the noise was moderate despite a fully packed bar area and dining room. Food was superb…we ordered the coconut shrimp (not my favorite, but my husband loved it), spicy tuna roll (excellent), the ribeye and the roasted chicken were equally delicious. I think my favorite aspect of our visit was the service. Friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, especially considering it was a busy holiday weekend. Can’t wait to return!

    Wonderful food and service! The table for eight was a little awkward as far as seating was concerned. Not well thought out, but we went on Valentine’s weekend to celebrate our son’s birthday. The staff was very nice about our birthday cake and let us to bring one in overall experience was outstanding.

    Aiko delivers an absolutely unforgettable dining experience! We had the Valentine’s Day omakase, and every single course was a masterpiece. The quality of the fish, the creativity in the presentation, and the attention to detail were outstanding. Our chef, AK, took amazing care of us—his precision and passion for the craft were evident in every bite. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the sake pairings elevated the meal even further. The ambiance was intimate yet lively, making it the perfect setting for a special night. If you’re looking for a top-tier omakase experience in Houston, Aiko is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!

    Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
