Houston

Japanese

(From May 2011) More than fine sushi, this high-energy spot experiments with unusual techniques and unlikely combinations. Ex-ample? Let us mention dessert first—a sponge cake–like frozen chocolate mousse sprinkled with cilantro and de-hydrated meringue chips. (Yes, it was excellent.) Other standouts? Smoked duck over greens with wasabi vinai-grette; grilled yellowtail with brussels sprouts, tiny mushrooms, and grapefruit “pearls”; and braised pork belly with spinach in a dark, sweet gravy. Übercool. Bar.
