Within walking distance! Also, for the appetizer, the tuna tartare or spicy salmon crispy rice is a must. I love the crispy rice plates that you can find at all over the hottest NYC sushi restaurants but this is the only place in Houston I have found anything close and they so good! I HIGHLY recommend the following signature sushi rolls: Firecracker, Samurai and the Rock Manhattan. Get the mochi for dessert! Great ambience too!

Drinks & Nightlife
Right across the street from complex! It's a diverse scene and never too packed but I always have fun when I go there. Awesome DJ! Great beer selection and liquor selection. Nice patio to sit on and watch the bar hoppers stumble along Washington Avenue. Small food menu but The Trainwreck Fries are pretty stacked!
