Reikina - The Energy Corridor, Houston

Woahhhh. Everything on the menu was some unique combination of flavors and cuisine. Loved everything.Note: dessert was pumpkin pie yellow cake with orange zest whipped cream. And I HATE pumpkin pie, and that dessert was SO, SO good.Don't walk, run here!

“Divine snacks” is an understatement. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in Houston in 6 years. The smoked agnolotti was completely off the charts. I’ve never had anything like that before in my life. Great people, next level food…you need to check it out.

Great experience. Always love tasting menu concepts, and this one brought some amazing flavors in an entirely accessible and unpretentious way. Chef Thomas also gave us a lot of details of each dish which I appreciated. Definitely recommend. One tip if you’re wondering where the restaurant is as you’re driving by on W Dallas, it’s the coffee shop space (next to an auto glass place) that turns into ReikiNa in the evening.

This was one of the most unique dining experiences with an intimate 5 course tasting menu! The flavors were outstanding and each course got better and better. The chef put so much thought into each dish and they all have a unique story. We look forward to coming back!!

Came here for a birthday dinner. Their menu rotations every 2mo and reservations open up 14 days out. The venue is a little tricky, and it 's located in a coffeeshop. I wish the ambiance could have been nicer for an otherwise upscale dinner, but it provided for a homey environment. It 's BYOB, and I brought a champagne for the dinner and ice wine for dessert. We started with a yellowtail app, which was delightful. I liked how the chef came out and explained each of his creations. The next coarse was a Japanese inspired Caesar like salad, which was innovative and unique. I liked the 3rd course best, as it reminded me of Norway cod ravioli with a creamy sauce. The next coarse was wagyu Denver cut with mashed potato, and my dining partner and I both found it hard to chew. The dessert was an icebox cake and we loved it! I wish they would have done something special (like a candle or Happy Birthday wish with syrup on the side of the plate) for the celebration. My other gripe is that I was told the experience was a little over an hour but it was closer to 90min, and we were late for our next engagement as a result. However, their correspondence on IG is fast and professional.
