"What’s better than being able to customize your meal and socialize over your own pot of delicious broth?. Little Sheep feels particularly authentic for its hospitality and choice of meats, seafood, spices and vegetables. Proteins like Angus beef, lamb slices, fish meatballs and tofu can be combined with as many greens, noodles and wontons as possible to create a comforting stew that can be seasoned with sauces that range from sweet to super spicy."

"Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot is one of my favorite places to go to for some all you can eat hot pot. The food is fresh, broth is hot and is the perfect meal for a cold winter day. Here you are given a pot with delicious broth in it, and you order your fillings."

"Of course, there are plenty of dining options including the food court and stand-alone restaurants like Kona Grill, the Oceanaire, and the Cheesecake Factory. When your credit card company cuts you off, head outside again and cross Alabama on foot towards the Williams Tower, which at 64 stories and 902 feet is the second tallest building in Houston. Like the Chase Tower, there’s no place to enjoy a drink and the view, but you can walk directly south of the tower to the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park. Here you can stand in the middle of this 64-foot semi-circular fountain and just feel the awesome power of 78,500 gallons of water falling 20 feet around you."

"Begin your weekend in Houston around 5 PM with an early dinner at a Tex Mex joint – El Tiempo, El Real, and the Original Ninfa’s are some of my personal favorites. Try some sizzling fajitas with a house margarita on the side. Then, head to Wild West (6101 Richmond Ave) to get a taste for a serious Texas two-step club. If you don’t know what two-stepping is, it’s Texas’ traditional dance, typically alongside country music."

"Roughly translated to “the art of eating”, Kuu embodies its mantra with artsy inspired plating and dishes created by acclaimed Chef Adison Lee of Nobu London fame. Chef Lee combines rich textures and flavor palettes in pairings like uni-crusted King crab made with uni custard and key lime or crispy duck with a wasabi beet reduction. Well priced and in a beautiful wood paneled serene setting, Kuu has proven itself to be a Japanese cuisine treasure in Houston."

"Nobu-trained chef Adison Lee presides over this glossy restaurant at the Gateway Memorial City development with artfully-plated dishes. Serenely fresh nigiri and sashimi selections feature fresh fish flown in regularly. Dig into must-try cooked items like salt-grilled mackerel with Brussels sprouts, seared sea scallop with a 60-degree egg, enoki mushrooms, house-cured bacon, and okra, and decadent uni-crusted king crab with uni custard and key lime."

"With Nobu-trained Chef Adison Lee at the helm, this sultry hotspot is giving big guns like Uchi and Kata Robata a run for its money. Lee’s impressively delicate sushi and sashimi is locally and seasonally inspired, thanks to their drive to reach new levels of greatness and a handy in-house forager. Eat the exquisite cuts and rolls alongside a sturdy lineup of inspired takes on Japanese classics and some sake."

"This unpretentious restaurant near Upper Kirby, from Mike Tran who also owns Tiger Den and Mein, draws a regular crowd thanks to quality sushi and dishes that aren’t bank busting. The relatively affordable menu includes the Sashimi Deluxe with 21 pieces of sashimi for $45 and a sushi lunchtime special with three kinds of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll for $9.75. For something heartier, go for the tonkotsu ramen with roasted pork ($9.75)."

"Beloved for its stellar happy hour and reverse-happy-hour deals, this trendy spot’s 20-plus-item Special Maki menu is one of the best in town.

"At MF Sushi in the Museum District, chef Chris Kinjo cranks out raw marvels, using fish flown in regularly from Japan, with elegant movements and superior knife skills. The o-toro (fatty tuna) nigiri, hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar), baked lobster tempura and the A5 Wagyu roll with asparagus, onions, shredded chili, and miso tare are all standouts, but part of what makes this high-design spot so special is the omakase (chef’s selection) tasting menu. Reserve a seat at the bar to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of all the action, then sit back and relax while you leave it to the experts to plan your meal."

"This city is no stranger to high-end fish, but there’s something special about Chris “Magic Fingers” Kinjo’s traditional sushi. Lauded for the multi-course omakase experience reminiscent of Japan’s sushi masters, MF Sushi’s fresh fish is unrivaled in the city. With deft knife strokes and minimal accents, the focus is wholly on pristine, melt-in-your-mouth fish and shellfish selections you won’t find anywhere else."

"Any partner would be impressed with the sleek and elegant MF Sushi. The Museum District’s premiere sushi spot serves up consummate fresh fish in the form of high quality sushi, nigiri and sashimi. The minimal woodsy décor is the perfect accompaniment to excellent service and an original drink menu."
