What people say, in short
Many people name Kata Robata as a favorite or go-to sushi spot in Houston, and a couple describe the quality as consistent. Several also point to its cooked and non-sushi dishes, such as the ramen and a wagyu sandwich. Opinions are not unanimous: one diner doesn't see why it gets so much acclaim, another has been a few times and finds it enjoyable but unremarkable, and one says the omakase is less luxurious and intimate than at some other spots, though a partner who avoids raw fish can order from a strong cooked menu. One suggests it for those willing to trade some ambience.
