KATA ROBATA CHEF-owner Manabu "Hori" Horiuchi and his business partner Yun Cheng, with whom he opened the Upper Kirby sushi standout 13 years ago, have announced their new restaurant.
Katami, which means "keepsake" in Japanese, will open in the former Vincent's space on West Dallas this spring, offering the same premier Japanese and locally sourced ingredients and preparations that Houstonians have raved about at Kata for over a decade. (Chef Hori is famous for using fish caught off the coast of Japan less than 24 hours before serving it to diners.) At the new restaurant, he'll also place a special emphasis on high-end ingredients — think caviar service, foie gras and more.
“We opened Kata Robata 13 years ago as a Japanese restaurant that offered something for everyone,” said Chef Hori in a release. “It still does by serving ramen, robata, and of course, sushi and sashimi, but Katami will be where the sushi really shines."
The menu will be broken down into sections like Sashimi, Nigiri, Makimono and Temaki, plus A-5 Wagyu plates and a number of specialty dishes such as toro tartare with kimchi sauce and Japanese milkbread. Chef Hori will of course serve a chef's-choice omakase nightly.
The formerly Tuscan-tinged space will get a mod overhaul courtesy of Abel Design Group; it's notably larger than Kata Robata, and the partners are looking forward to a more extensive beverage program with tons of wine and sake.
Katami is just the latest in a profusion of new sushi spots, such as Money Cat, Ten Sushi and Sushi by Hidden.

NOW OPEN IN Southwest Houston off Almeda Road is Jetstream RV Resort, a 165-space Class A recreational vehicle community.
The property spans 15 acres and includes amenities like a heated swimming pool, expansive clubhouse and lounge, outdoor kitchen and beer garden. For families, there’s an arcade room, playground, dog wash and shuffleboard courts, plus on-site laundry.
The location is between Downtown and the Med Center, and offers easy access to 288, the Beltway and 610. Just a few miles from NRG Park, Jetstream promises to be a popular option for those coming into town for the Rodeo, which just announced its 2023 musician lineup. (Highlights include mainstays like Chris Stapleton, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band, Cody Johnson, Brad Pailsey and Luke Bryan, plus Houston fave Bun B and old-school group New Kids on the Block.)
“Jetstream at The Med Center will provide an attractive alternative to hotel living for those who plan to spend a significant amount of time in Houston, whether as employees in the downtown area, as sightseers or both,” said Julie Davis, a VP of CityStreet Residential, which developed Jetstream, in a release. “It’s an inviting place they can go home to and enjoy in the evenings and on weekends, where their families can join them, and they can get to know their neighbors. We’re excited about the debut of this property and the successes of our other RV resorts.” CSRP operates Jetstream communities in Wharton, Waller, Pearland and Brownsville.
