My wife and I met a friend here for supper. The friend had suggested the venue because she had dined there many times before. I had been aware of its existence since the days when it was located right off the Katy Trail but had never eaten there (so many Japanese restaurants so little time!) I had the yakisoba noodles with chicken and shrimp. The noodles were not soba (buckwheat) but they were good. I would have preferred soba but good is good. My wife had sushi and a salad. I'm not sure what our friend had but she liked it. For drinks I had the grapefruit martini, my wife had a gin and tonic, and our friend a glass of cabernet. We were all quite satisfied and the bill didn't break the bank. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening.

We took along our friends who used to live in the area but moved away some years ago. They had never been to Amore, but they really enjoyed it and so did we! It’s an old favorite of ours.
