The best steak restaurant in Houston. They have one significant flaw; the wine list. There are no reasonably priced wines on their list and many of the wines they do have are extremely overpriced.

TINS offers more than just a meal; it’s an experience that engages all your senses. From the 14+ exquisite OMAKASE courses to the endless sake, the engaging chef, and fun-filled karaoke, every aspect of the night was thoughtfully curated to ensure an unforgettable experience. The scallops and the uni shot were my favorites, and did I mention there was also dessert. Highly recommend TINS for special occasions, or anytime you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.
