Tobiuo Sushi & Bar

Reservations are recommended at Tobiuo Sushi & Bar on Fri & Sat. Got lucky to be seated since we were walk-ins. Michael was friendly and provided excellent service as our waiter. Ordered his signature drink, jpop! Super refreshing. My top dishes were the miso butter scallops and the salmon sashimi flight. They tasted amazing! Other items ordered that were alright: - unagi mami (eel roll) - American Wagyu (tender, thought it would be a bit more svaory) - Sake toro (salmon belly) Daily Specials were ok: - inada nigiri (young yellowtail) & mejina/black sea bream sashimi (chewier than expected) Kuropan (squid ink milk bread w/ Thai tea ice cream) was my favorite dessert. Ube churros were good except the ube dip (plain and lacked flavor). The calamansi and ube ice cream were solid though. Excited to try other menu items in the future!

We came in for a casual lunch and ordered the 9-course omakase at $120. Somehow it turned into a 13-course market-price set at $240 per person. For three girls at lunch, that was way too much food and not what we had in mind. We honestly had to push ourselves to finish, and we even had to take the dessert to go because we were completely overwhelmed. Our total came out to $835 for lunch. That’s a huge jump from what we originally ordered. A little more clarity on pricing would have made the experience much better.

Order: 🍤 Shrimp tempura slices: 15/10 🌶 Shishito Peppers: 8/10 🥗 Brussel Sprouts: 9/10 🍜 Chicken Udon: 10/10 🍣 Extra Shaggy: 10/10 🍣 Steve-o: 10/10 🔥 The spice level can be adjusted on any dish. Service was great. I failed to get the gentleman's name, but he knew extensively of the menu, he was kind and you can tell he thinks highly of the level of the food they offer. We stopped by on a Wednesday evening and it was not crowded at all. Seating outside, or booth or table inside. The lights are low but not dark. Everything was clean and the atmosphere felt inviting. We highly enjoyed every single bite!! Even my 3 year old daughter enjoyed the mushrooms that came with her udon. She ate the shrimp tempura, and loved her udon noodles! They even mixed some egg in rice for her and she enjoyed that as well! My husband doesn't eat the raw meat so we just stick with the only 2 cooked rolls that they offer and boy were they good!! From the level of service and food here, I think this might be the first place that he might want to explore a taste of real sushi. I will definitely order more of the tempting menu on our next visit. This place is definitely one to be visited and explored. Your taste buds will thank you 😊 ♥️

There’s no shortage of good sushi spots in Houston and Tobiuo definitely is not an exception to that. However, what sets it apart isn’t the great food it offers (the miso butter scallops are a banger), but the service that was provided. Huge shoutout to the goat and our server Michael and his signature drink, the J-pop. Our only complaint is that for the ube churros, the ube dip tasted like it was just whipped cream with purple food coloring (the ube ice cream and calamansi sauce were great though). Despite that, we would definitely go back for more and recommend Tobiuo to others.

Contemporary sushi joint. I enjoyed dining here. The service was attentive and friendly without being a burden. The presentation of the dishes was colorful eye-candy. There was no wait for a Sunday dinner. Each dish we ordered was unique with it's own personality. They all stirred excitement and eagerness to try within our group. Everything we tasted was on point and left us wanting more. I appreciated the creativity and detail put into everything we ordered. Highlight: Cilantro Hamachi - Refreshing roll that cleanses your palette with every bite. I highly recommend dining here.
