About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Great for fine wines

A Berg Hospitality Group original concept, Prime 131 is a live-fire steakhouse and sushi bar within a revamped industrial space at The Docks at Timbergrove. Evoking the electric ambiance of New York’s chic yet edgy Meatpacking District in the early 90s, Prime 131 ignites a fresh dining experience in Houston where the artistry of grilling takes center stage.

A protein-forward concept with Korean and Japanese influence, Prime 131 creates a completely unique meat experience where diners watch their meal be prepared on four central wood fire grills and two Josper charcoal ovens. In addition, a full sushi bar and four Korean barbeque style tables offer curated experiences featuring some of the most exclusive cuts in the world.

Korean Grill Top Dining Experience at Prime 131

Our four exclusive, Korean grill top dining tables are sized for parties of 4-6. We are happy to accept parties of 2-3 at our first seating (4-5:30pm) or last seating (anytime after 9:30pm), but please call 713.840.1553 to reserve it with our host as we do not accept online reservations for parties under 4 guests.

First time visiting Prime 131 with my husband and teenage son. We were all pleasantly full, feeling energized with ambiance and feeling like Gustavo knew us forever! We will definitely be back.

The service was top-notch. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The place was gorgeous! We tried the dragon roll, lobster toast, waygu strip steak, mac and cheese, and grilled asparagus for our savory dishes. My only complaint is that the asparagus could have used a touch of salt. That food was great. The serving sizes were perfect. For dessert, we got the cheesecake and the lemon and lime. Both were so good and really fun to eat. We will be back.

Overall we had a nice experience, it started out incredibly strong when the restaurant was slower but towards the end the service really started to slack. We waited 45 minutes for a dessert and to close out our bill which was bizarre. The food was mostly great! Our particular favorite was the naan with the labneh dip - stellar. The end of the meal just unfortunately put a negative taste in our mouth. We are on the fence if we will try it again.

Came for anniversary dinner. Was sat in a side room with and elevated view. Couldn’t decide if that was a plus or minus for me. Bar started slow but caught up. All the drinks were good. Oysters, naan and labnuh and shishito peppers started out. All great. Then we had the Omakase platter and it was great. Tv in our room had fireplace video playing but then switched to commercials for a few mins and that was distracting. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. Her assistant was Johnny on the spot. Would recommend.

Last evening was an improvement from our October experience. The staff were clearly improved from that evening in light of an even busier crowd coupled with a new trainer Thanks Louie was the main exceedingly talented wait staff

A "MUST TRY" restaurant, especially for steak lovers. Great open concept with the best look, vibe, and smell to prepare you for a fantastic experience. As a first timer here and celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, it was a memorable experience that already has us wanting to return. For us, it was well worth the hour drive and we look forward to our next visit.

Today was our second visit to Prime 131 and my son’s birthday dinner was nothing short of amazing. Prime 131 is a must try for whatever the occasion or just a great date night.
