Katami was an absolute experience from start to finish. The service was spectacular… every staff member was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely excited to guide us through the meal. They even surprised us with a few extra bites to try, which was so appreciated and made the experience feel special and personal. The food was completely out of this world beautifully executed, bold, and unforgettable. Every dish felt thoughtful and perfectly balanced. The drinks were just as impressive, packed with flavor and creativity. Definitely order the one with the red dots… trust the staff on this one. They explain how it literally opens up your senses so you can fully enjoy all the food, and they were absolutely right. From service to flavors to overall vibe, Katami exceeded expectations in every way. A must try if you’re looking for something truly elevated and memorable.

I was eager to try Katami with how in love I am with their sister restaurant, Kata Robata. The atmosphere is definitely a step above. The menu is different but familiar. And the food was equally amazing; not better but the same level as Kata Robata, which is a 10/10 in my book. I’m not articulate enough to do the food justice but know it’s high quality and thoughtfully crafted. The additional cost to go to Katami is in the ambiance and service. For reference, the photos taken are from separate visits.

I dined at Katami for the first time last night, and everything was absolutely outstanding. The standout dish was the Toro Tar Tar. It was rich, vibrant, and incredibly flavorful. Every cut of fish was exceptionally fresh and melted in our mouths. They also provided complimentary dessert as my wife and I were celebrating her birthday. I’ll definitely be returning to Katami to explore more of their menu.

Delightful sushi / Japanese food experience. The service was exceptional, the fish was delicious and everything was prepared to perfection. The restaurant is quite large, with a nice sushi bar, a full bar with good seating and two main dining areas. Reservations are highly recommended. All the sushi/sashimi items were freshly prepared and superbly presented. The wagyu beef on hot rock was very good! The deserts were superb, with the shave ice one being made out of ice 🧊 flown in from Japan 😇 The service was friendly and prompt, with a lot of good suggestions.

Overall amazing experience. Ross was a very kind and helpful server. While overall a bit pricy for 2 people it was still a great meal. Would recommend the 10 piece nagiri and the wagyu

Five stars for a reason. Fresh and superior quality. Rotating innovations and one of the best sushi chefs in Houston. Must try: the shishito peppers, lux role, and the king crab Sando

All the food was so rich and flavorful. The pork shu mai was so buttery and wonderfully fatty. The king crab sando was so rich with the bechamel sauce and garlic bread like taste. The toro tartar was so good with the mushrooms. The stone mushroom rice was just hearty and warming. All the rolls were so good- we got the sake chili roll and the lobster one. The apple bread pudding was to die for- so so so good

I just want to thank Alex G, our server. His customer service was impeccable. He was very knowledgeable and never pressured us into anything. We were blessed to have him. I’ll add that it was our wedding anniversary, and we had our 7-month-old with us. Alex was very accommodating, which was amazing that made it so easy to be there. It was our first time here, and I’ll definitely come back. The prices were fair, and the food was good !!! /G\ approved. Ask for Alex G

Exceptional from start to finish! We went here on a Friday evening and did have reservations which I would highly recommend as this place fills up and for good reason. Everything from the wait staff to the decor was absolutely top-tier. The sushi was incredible and we tried several dishes and everything was excellent. Some of my favorites were the crab sandos and the chopped scallop nigiri. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back, definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Houston.

Elegant Japanese restaurant, with delicious food. Large onigiri selection, sushi rolls, and wagyu selection. We ordered the Texan roll and baby back ribs to start, both were excellent. And finished with the wagyu on black stone, very rich and tender.

I met a friend there for the Old Fashioned he brags about often and I can clearly see why! It was amazing! Tasted like warm fresh Rice Crispy temreats. Then we had the Milk Wash cocktail...it was beautiful! Then our final cocktail was Sin City. It was Phenomenal!!! I will definitely go back.

Katami absolutely lived up to the hype. The vibe is sleek, calm, and refined, perfect for when you want a little luxury without the stuffiness. The staff were super welcoming and made the whole experience feel effortless. I started with the bone marrow, and wow, it was rich, buttery, and full of flavor. I enjoyed it straight from the bone topped with salmon roe, and honestly, it was perfect just like that. Pure umami bliss. My friends got tuna tartare & it was absolutely phenomenal! Then came the sashimi for two, which yes…I ordered just for myself. Zero regrets. Every cut was pristine, melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and beautifully plated. I could taste the quality in every bite, this wasn’t your average sushi, it was next level. The barracuda was hands down my favorite cut. To end on a high note, I had the green tea kakigori: a fluffy mountain of matcha shaved ice with condensed milk, delicate sweetness, and the most refreshing finish to the meal. Light, earthy, and completely satisfying. Katami isn’t cheap, but if you’re craving high-end Japanese food with standout execution and flavor, it’s 100% worth it. This one’s going on my favorites list.

The rice was perfect. Fish was perfect. Fish to rice ratio was perfect. The portion size was perfect. Even the temperature was perfect. Come to Katami if you are looking for the highest quality and authentic, delicious crafted Japanese food. I have been to SO MANY Japanese places in Houston (Aiko, handies, Uchi, MF sushi, Hachi) THIS PLACE is my favourite. I promise the food and service here will not disappoint you. We had Dana as our waitress and she was so helpful!! My highlights were the black cod, foi gras scallop nigiri, unagi nigiri, seared otoro nigiri, caramel apple bread pudding, uni nigiri, and green tea ice shaving which YES they import their ice from the spring waters of japan and it tastes incredible.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Great place for a birthday, because it’s fancy, and they give you a free dessert - Japanese fluffy cheesecake! The food was good, portions are small - except the Chirashi is great with 18 pieces of fish, toro tartar was good - the bread, mushroom tops and tuna with a raw quail egg was tasty, presentation was beautiful , little crabs- too tiny, but tasty. We got the bone marrow too, and that didn’t disappoint- tasty! Their drinks were good too- I had a mocktail (, and my husband got a sake. Waitress was knowledgeable and nice! A drawback - parking- there is a middle section that is self park, but the rest are valet. We were lucky to find parking on the very crowded streets instead. Expensive experience, but it was good! Would come again for another milestone celebration!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Japanese restaurant that opened about a year ago in houston and I genuinely can’t express how incredible the experience was. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable , the staff was attentive, warm, and truly made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was serene and beautifully curated, creating the perfect setting for the meal. Now, onto the food: absolutely outstanding. Every dish was crafted with such care and precision, and the flavors were unforgettable. The combination — gourmet quality, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything I’ve tasted before. This is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top-quality Japanese cuisine and flawless service.
