"When Houston’s hottest sushi spot closed out of nowhere in 2014, the city let out a collective, “Awwww nawwwww, bro.” Thankfully, “Magic Fingers” -- also known by his human name, Chef Chris Kinjo -- kept his knives sharp and returned with an ever more badass version of a classically Japanese restaurant.

"You’ll have to valet park, but it’s worth it for the comfort food at this circa-1986 classic. Noodles are unusually prominent on the menu, and the bowl of udon with tender beef in a thick curry broth is the gustatory equivalent of lithium."

"While he gets things together for an upcoming project, rising star Chef Jason Liao -- formerly of the highly touted but now closed Preview Modern Seafood in Sugar Land -- signed on to help man the kitchen at this popular sushi spot. That means the time to get a taste of the magic that happens when Co-Chef Mike Tran’s noteworthy techniques and sustainable approach mix with Liao’s creative flare is NOW (or more specifically, during happy hour when the good stuff is a steal)."
