We had a special celebration and picked Soma for its food. Service didn't disappoint us either. We tried a couple of signature cocktails with our meal and our drinking buds were happy. We had raw quail eggs, salmon, tuna, raw shrimp and fried shrimp heads. All was fresh, tasty and presented very well. The best serving of the night was yellowfin tuna with foeis gras and jam! Yes, raw fish and fatty liver! The proportion of each was so perfect resulting in the most exquisite taste I've ever had! It's not our first time in this restaurant and, definitely, won't be the last.
First and foremost - they have a good chenin blanc on the happy hour drink menu. Second - the happy hour menu is awesome. We had the ceviche shooters (awesome), the tuna tartar (I thought it was good, DH was meh about them), the crevice tacos (again awesome and unique), the mermaid roll and the Irishman roll. Portions were good for the price and we were able to try a bunch of the dishes because nothing was overly heavy. Third, and most important. The service was great. Johnny at the sushi bar kept up with us and made sure drinks didn't go empty. I hadn't been there in ages and was happy that quality and flavor hadn't left.
Incredible food, the waitress gave great recommendations & was very attentive. We had the firecracker roll (divine), Wagyu shumai (highly recommend), & some pieces of sushi. I also Tried several drinks which the waitress recommended & all were really good.
My husband and I drive an hour into Houston just to get sushi from Soma. We have been so many times and have never had a bad experience. Our favorite sushi rolls are the creamy mermaid and the Texas longhorn. Absolutely amazing. Lychee martinis are made to perfection and the nigiri is so fresh.
We had a wonderful time at Soma. The atmosphere is great. Nguyen, our server, was fantastic. We had an amazing tuna tasting with Toro and Otoro as well as other assortments of sushi and the Wagyu beef hot rock. It was a splendid dinner. We will be back for sure.

Soma is a great spot with a fairly extensive happy hour selection. The service was amazing as always. I would definitely recommend the pork belly buns and ceviche shooters as those are two of my favorites.
This place is decent. Pretty empty and big inside for a Saturday night which isn’t a great sign usually. We got the dumplings which were the best thing. We also got the blue fin and o toro sashimis and they were ok. The chirashi sashimi selection was also ok at best. We also got the firecracker roll which was good but you couldn’t taste any fish so is it really sushi?

The food is delicious. And service is great. I was very glad to see multiple options for various dietary preferences. Appetizers are very original and the specialty roll is a must. Sushi is top notch and is definitely one of the main reasons why coming back is a must.
For those looking for a drink, bar has a nice ambience and cocktails are varied.
Amazing waitress -Troy, really glad my wife and I chose this place. Drinks and food were spectacular! Great Service!!!!
Took some Miso Soup to go, it was so delicious!!!! Also the petite crab cakes!
The service was fantastic! Place was clean and food was not bad. The tacos was a little soggy but the filling was good.
Everything was superb about this place. Food, ambiance, drinks, and especially customer service. Loved our waiter he was the best!
Soma is a great place. Happy hour menu is delicious. I recommend creamy mermaid, lychee martini, ceviche-style fish tacos, Philadelphia and Crazy Irishman.
Manny is a great server. We always ask for him when we come. He is very kind and attentive. Please treat him well 🙏
