Maharaja Bhog

Reviewed By efustok

This is the Indian Fogo de chao, it’s such a fun experience. You don’t have a menu, you sit down at your table, with your silver tray of wonders in front of you. Then the magic begins, the servers, one by one bring a different dish. They start with your appetizers, next your veggies, then the daal’s, bread, and you finish with the rice. It’s all you can eat, and I went for two maybe three rounds now, I will warn those who are sensitive to spice, it’s no joke here. I recommend lunch or an early dinner, we made the mistake of going for a late dinner. Had to have me some tums later on that night. The service was excellent, will go back for lunch. I hear weekends there’s a wait. It’s so cool that this is the only one in the states, it’s a chain from India. Fun food experiences are something we're always looking to create, and we're thrilled that you had a blast! You're right about this being our only U.S. location, so it's safe to say, you won't get an experience quite like ours anywhere else around! Thanks for the review, and we're hoping to see you again soon.All of the best,The Team at Maharaja Bhog

Roka Akor | Houston

Reviewed By Elizabeth M

Came here for a business lunch and was very happy with the choice. The restaurant is a little pricy, but the lunch menu definitely has some good deals. I ordered the set lunch menu with yellowtail to start and a filet of salmon as the second plate. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved the interesting flavors of the yellowtail paired with its sauce.

Thai Gourmet Restaurant

Reviewed By marux23

Came here based on a recommendation and hearing about their Thai hot!We came by for a late Saturday lunch, but despite the odd hour, ended up waiting for about 20-25 minutes. The restaurant seems to have been recently refurbished, with a good crowd capacity (small and large groups). The interior is really artistic, with a lot of wood work and thoughtful cultural touches. It is a little dim in there, as there isn't a lot of natural light streaming in. The service was great, no complaints. In terms of food, we went for the following:1. Appetizer: Thai Gourmet Crispy Rice2. Mains: Penang beef and Kuay Tiew Kua Gai (both medium spicy)The Thai gourmet crispy rice was a very interesting appetizer. The crispy rice is basically puffed rice stuck together (kind of like rice krispies?) and the dipping is this yellow dish composed of ground chicken, minced garlic, and red onions in coconut milk. I think it's a bit of an acquired taste... but definitely interesting. So if you want to try something new, I'd recommend this, but I won't be getting this again. The Penang beef was super yummy with plain steamed rice. I loved it. But if you have a very low spicy tolerance, medium would be too much of a kick for you, if you like spicy, I think this is a happy medium, and if you want to break out in a sweat, I'd imagine the Hot would tick that criteria. I've heard scary things about Thai hot! The Kuay Tiew Kua Gai which is basically flat rice noodles with chicken, calamari, eggs, green onions & napa, topped with brown garlic was delicious! Highly recommended. Price: very reasonable. The above with 20% tip was about 40 dollars. Would I go back? Yes!

Huynh Restaurant

Reviewed By brendas329

For the last two years, we have come here for dinner the night before the Houston Marathon / Half Marathon. We had originally heard about the restaurant from another runner and are so glad we followed his advice as we love this place. It’s easy walking distance from the Hilton or Marriott Marquis hotels although you do have to cross under the freeway. Last time we came, the husband of the chef / owner introduced me to Pho and showed me how to prepare it. I told him on this visit that last time he had changed my life. I just love Vietnamese food, but didn’t really know how to get Pho to taste right. Anyway, Pho is now one of my favorites. This time we ordered egg rolls which are served with a generous amount of veggies to wrap them with, wonton soup, spring rolls, and another type of soup that had wontons as well. All were excellent. Service was also great. We arrived later than we had originally planned, so there was a line and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. However they have a nice waiting area with tables to the right of the entrance. I believe the restaurant is BYOB, as I saw others opening up their own wine while they waited. Right after we got seated a lot of tables opened up, so I think we got there at the peak of their rush. So worth it though!

Reviewed By utfiero

The Wagyu Shumai were good but the delicate flavor of wagyu was not apparent in the shumai. Basically overpriced shumai and not extraordinary in any way. The Kamasu, seared Japanese red barracuda, was one of the best types of sushi we’ve ever tried. Hiramasa, yellow tail tuna, was delicious and fresh. Tropical Spicy Tuna Roll and the Rising Sun Roll were both creative and good, but not as good as the sushi. Service: Service was bad. Our waiter was overwhelmed and slow. And it took forever to get the check and pay.Ambiance: energetic and chicOverall cleanliness: above averageBathroom cleanliness: above average

Refreshing and innovative sushi dishes. Sashimi and nigiri were so fresh. We ordered multiple dishes and shared with the table. The cauliflower poppers and Japanese pumpkin tempura were great little sides. Great food, good service, well-informed wait staff, fresh, fresh seafood, fun atmosphere...all in all a great experience. We will go back!
