Florakai — Restaurant in Houston

Food poisoning warning! I wouldn’t normally post a review that is negative but feel like other people need to be warned. I have been on sashimi kick lately so twice a week I’ve ordered from somewhere. I usually order one day from one we’ve had already then the second time we will try something new. The photos looked great. We should have known something was wrong initially when we were unable to locate a phone number to contact the business to add more items to our order… what company does not have a way to contact them listed anywhere? The food arrived via Uber eats within 20 minutes so that was awesome. We were happy to try a new restaurant. Unfortunately, the quality was sub par. Fresh tuna, salmon and yellowtail does not have a salty, shrimpy flavor… As you can see from the photo it appeared pretty in a floral shape but these thin slices were the sashimi platter (lacking in both quality and quantity). The shaggy dog and rock and roll sushi rolls were also off-putting as of maybe the mayo used had gone bad. I could tell immediately something was wrong and chose not to eat anymore after my first bite of each to try them so my body has since purged what little I did eat. My other half however is stubborn and has never gotten sick from food before…Now he feels like he is dying. An hour of his system purging this food and trying but can’t even keep down electrolytes. At this point, I’m trying to talk him into going to urgent care to get medication bc he sounds as bad as when I went to Mexico and accidentally swallowed some water while brushing my teeth years ago. Really nice concept but unless you want to have shooting stomach pains, cold sweats and be purging from both ends, I do not recommend trying this place.

We will be sticking to jellyfish, sushi pop, kinokawa & other places where quality never has to...

It was just okay, we came in sat down at the bar and we were greeted immediately by the two chefs. We received our drinks almost immediately ordered with in 5 minutes and waited over 25 minutes for our food. It seemed like they were packing a lot of to go orders. About 15 mins in we moved from the bar to the booth seating as it was starting to get awkward watching them make other rolls and not ours. Our food finally came to the counter and I went up to get it. From a visual aspect it looked amazing. From the taste aspect it was very mid. Paying over $18 for each small roll I’d expect the raw fish not to taste fishy and the cooked not to taste like oil. It was a cool experience but most likely our last time coming to...

Best sushi I've ever had. California roll is bussin. Came out looking instagramable. The new building houses this kinda food court, the name isn't obvious from the street but the restaurant is in the big food court esque eatery. Very cool vibe , a few restaurants and bars to peruse. Yeah, when construction finishes this is gonna be a really lovely addition to the midtown - Montrose neighborhoods. Very grateful to have eaten here before it's more mainstream, I was the only person in the dining room the entire meal, which was honestly really nice....
