What people say, in short
Most people recommend Aiko, and many praise the food, with one diner who has only tried Aiko calling it their top sushi spot in the city. A couple of diners find it a lower-cost option than the bigger omakase names, and a few like its happy-hour or lunchtime omakase. Some diners were less impressed: one on an early visit found the atmosphere weak and the food forgettable, another agreed the atmosphere is lacking but found the food very good, one liked it but preferred five other omakase spots, and one found it poor and called its omakase the worst they have tried in Houston.
