Was in houston for a conference, stopped in for dinner and the food was amazing, the staff was on point and extremely polite. I will definantly be coming back next time im in town with the wife. She would love it. Cant reccomend this place enought.

One of my absolute favorite places to get sushi in Houston. Used to live 2 blocks from here, and now I drive over 20minutes knowing it will be worth it! Delicious appetizers and sushi rolls. You do not want to miss adding this spot on your list for sushi!

Enjoyed a girls night out at Cru last weekend. We had a great time. Good music, cocktails (Traffic, the bartender did his thing), and service.

Cool hookah bar with awesome music (HipHop) and good vibes. Gets full pretty fast on the weekend. Majority of tables are reserved. Only minus is the cheap liquor they use - but since this place is not supposed to be a cocktail lounge - I’ll keep 5 stars

Marty is the absolute bartender!!! I came in it was my birthday. He made me feel like it was all about me. His personality, bar knowledge and welcoming spirit is what makes a great bartender. It also brings repeat business this was my first time here. It won't be my last. THANK YOU MARTY ❤️

I love this place!! The service is top notch, the food surprised the f out of me (it’s amazing), don’t even get me started on the dope DJs, Owners/management 1000%, Hookah charcoals are always refilled, Lots of nice Big Booties, and they treat you like family. I’m a tall Romanian guy and I never felt more at home. Thank you! Shout to the security, Bartenders and the bus people, too! I Love you homies

My go to spot for amazing bar food, drinks and Hookah. The servers are always cool af and they pay attention to you're order. But whatever you do...DO NOT GET THE FREE HOOKAH lol. It's worth paying for it.

Cool spot with a good happy hour and delicious sushi. I really liked the cozy vibe. Since it’s downtown, parking can be hit or miss, but it wasn’t too bad. There was valet parking in front, which I initially thought was complimentary for the restaurant, but turns out it was cash only—$20. Overall, I enjoyed the casual yet cutesy atmosphere and can see myself coming back!

Been here a handful of times now to form a opinion. The volcano roll is my bf’s ultimate favorite roll from here, I absolutely love their soft shell crab roll and hand rolls. Squid salad isn’t something I’d order again from here, but their dumplings and seaweed salad is a recommendation from me!

Tried a new place near the Wortham theater in the Theater District of Houston. Began with a cold calamari salad that was tasty, a little chewier than I prefer but still good. Followed with the shrimp fried rice and it was very good with large succulent whole and chopped shrimp mixed in. Had the Bobby roll and of course the tried but true Crunch roll along with 2 piece real crab and shrimp sushi. 🍣 Over all pleasant experience, service was attentive, courteous, and efficient. Food was satisfactory though I did feel the tempura batter may have lacked a little bit of seasoning but overall will try again and recommend.

This place was very welcoming from the moment that I walked in. The hostess was very cheerful and the server was friendly as well. He suggested the Volcano Roll based off of my tastes that I communicated. The restaurant was clean, although parking was horrible (but it is located downtown). I didn't care for how my sushi roll was falling apart, nor did I care for the rice. The rice tasted supermarket-ey. The crab wontons were pretty decent. Overall it wasn't bad for happy hour after work.

It’s a nice place with good environment. We had volcano roll (1st photo), soba noodles ( 1st photo), spring roll ( vegetarian) (2nd photo) and shrimp and vegetable tempura fry (3rd photo). Volcano roll, soba noodles and spring roll was very nice but we didn’t like tempua fry, since it didn’t have any flavour and it had very less salt. However, volcano rolls were full of flavours and it looks good also, as you can see in the photo. Soba noodles are good option, especially for vegetation people.

It's better than many restaurants that I tried before. Smiling staff with good food. Prices are reasonable. I tried hot house sake. It wasn't amazing, but it's still worth trying.

Service can be a bit better but it has a great atmosphere and the bartenders definitely know how to pour a sidecar!

Came here on a Monday night and I’m happy I decided to come here. It got crowded quick but my friends and I sat outside. Outdoor had both high tables/stools and couches. The bathroom was also okay compared to other places. The server that showed us to our seats was just amazing. She was nice and welcoming (good videos). The server who actually took our order was okay. She did check on us frequently but her vibe/attitude was a little off (she probably was just having a bad day). The music was on point, a good balance of different genres. The drinks were pretty tasty and reasonable. They did however have a deal going on and in return you had the option to get a free shot OR drink but when I went to redeem it the bartender said it’s only for shots. If that’s the case they should update the sign because its gives us an option.

What can i say?!?! This place was a WHOLE fricking vibe!!!!!! We walked in and it was popping (reservation required). The DJ was amazing and again the WHOLE vibe was everything. I took a star because the waitress took forever to cone see about us, in between, and to bring the check. My lambchops came out cold (like the bone was cold as well). I sent them back and when they came back they were hot but so well done I couldn’t put it off the bone. The crawfish fried rice was a little salty but good. I definitely recommend trap thursdays

Nothing negative to say about this resto but no high praise either. The sushi rolls although a bit amateurish in size consistency were satisfactory. The calamares were delightfully crunchy but was neither chewy nor tough as well. The unagi were a bit thin but there were a lot of pieces. The katsudon was okay with a crispy salty pork and egg balanced with a blander broth-soaked rice.

Around 12:30 a.m. on December 31, my friends and I visited this establishment. The music was good, and we ordered a hookah and requested menus. The hookah arrived, but the menus never did. About 10 minutes later, a staff member (huge African American man) came out from the back and spoke to us very rudely, telling us we needed to get up because we hadn’t ordered anything, even though we were already smoking our hookah. We decided to leave—not because we didn’t plan to order, but because of his attitude. This place could be much better with more courteous customer service. Women should also be aware that if you’re wearing heels, seating may be restricted unless you are continually ordering food or drinks.

The service was not very timely & I disliked the drink that was given(the server recommended cause my original choice was gone). And I was told I still had to pay for it even if they switched the drinks out. The Manager said she wouldn't remove it. It was my birthday celebration & was not having a good time in the corner of the small outside patio. Also, they came out and turned the music up on the small speaker above the door so loud we couldn't even order anything it was so loud.

We ordered sapporo delivery and it was such a dissapointment. The garlic spicy edamame was gold and soggy. Our miso soup was cold. The sashimi we ordered tasted old and the crab puffs barely had any stuffing inside. The new york roll we order also tasted old. Very disappointing.

Its a set up spot to get towed. Trash parking. Security guard just watched ppl get towed without saying anything. The hookah was terrible and the music sucked!

Destiny Folie

Do not go there it took me over an hour to get a hold of my waitress and once I did I bought a hookah and was immensely overcharged. I tried contacting management and got no response.

gamarra sanders

I would never come here again! The manager does not care about your experience.. it’s only about the money. They over charge for drinks and hookah. Let’s not forget about automatic grat!

Niosha Price

Will never go here again! I’ve been to Cru in multiple cities and this was my worst experience. Went on a Friday evening. Was ignored at the bar while the bartender was on the phone. Waiter was busy eating and talking to coworkers at another table when we needed things. It was happy hour 7-10P and our hookah and drink was supposed to be 50 but they charged us 90. Will be disputing that ASAP. Hookah 2/10, drink 4/10

Ashlynn Anderson

I have been to more than one Cru location and this one was by far the worst and to be honest, the only one where I’ve had a bad experience. If I could put zero stars I would. The customer service was horrible. My friends and I stood at the bar waiting while the bartender was on the phone. She never acknowledged us nor did she wait on us. To top it off we were the only people in there. The drink I had was horrible and the hookah was nasty. Also, we were definitely over charged. Hookah was $20, we each had one drink at $13 each(3 of us), the total came out to $90. The math didn’t math at all! -0/10, do not recommend.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. They were just opening. Full staff. But everyone was on phones just chilling like they did not have any work todo. Me & my girl was only customer’s they had at the time. Still took 30 minutes to bring out hookah. Music was good but the customer service sucked. Will not be going back.
