Best Fusion Restaurants in Southeast Houston

I discovered Koya Houston on Instagram, and it immediately caught my eye with its upscale and fun vibe. Although I noticed the reviews weren’t as high as I typically prefer (I usually stick to places with a 4.5+ rating), I decided to take a gamble while in Houston for Thanksgiving—and I’m so glad I did! The restaurant is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere was great, though it wasn’t too crowded—likely because it was the day before Thanksgiving. We started with the wings, which were perfectly cooked and delicious. For our entrées, I had the lamb chops, and my husband ordered the sea bass. Both dishes exceeded our expectations, and the drinks were on point too. Our server, Carson, was the highlight of our visit. His service was exceptional, and he went above and beyond by offering us two complimentary shots each and even giving us a tour of the speakeasy, which was such a fun touch. We’ve been traveling through Miami, New Orleans, and now Houston, dining out each night, and while Koya was the most expensive restaurant we’ve visited this week, it was absolutely worth it. I’d recommend giving it a shot despite the mixed reviews online. We left happy, full, and truly impressed!

Best sushi place in town. Service is always great and the food is always fresh.

The steaks are delicious. The appetizers are also very good.

It's rare that I would post top ratings across the board, but this establishment earns it! We went early (6pm) to catch dinner before a show downtown. The food was amazing! Our waitress was super friendly and on top of her game. I made a request for the bar which some places would be frustrated with, but instead they made us amazing drinks and genuinely cared about our experience. Can't wait to try SAT/SUN brunch!

Love this place. Great vibes and service, really fun drinks!
