The story
Neo is an 18- to 20-course omakase dinner that unfolds in Houston’s lively Montrose district. The setting is intimate and modern, with counter dining that puts the kitchen on display. Complimentary beverages are included, making the evening feel both generous and unhurried.
The kitchen works with a seasonal, ever-changing menu that draws from Japanese traditions while weaving in techniques and ingredients from around the world. The team sources from both global purveyors and local Texas vendors, balancing precision with a sense of place. Each course is designed to highlight what’s at its peak, from seafood to produce.
Neo earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a nod to its focused, ingredient-driven approach to Japanese cuisine. The award reflects the restaurant’s ability to deliver a deeply personal omakase experience that feels both refined and grounded in the Houston food scene.
