Comma Hospitality, the powerhouse team behind acclaimed spots like Neo and Oru, is set to expand its culinary footprint this March with the debut of Toga at the Shops at Arrive River Oaks. Distinguishing itself as Houston’s first yakitori-driven izakaya, the concept prioritizes traditional skewers kissed by binchotan charcoal alongside a diverse menu of Japanese small plates that embrace the philosophy of wabi-sabi. Patrons can expect a meticulous blend of smoke and texture in dishes ranging from miso-glazed cauliflower to heartier fare like udon carbonara and Comté-stuffed menchi katsu curry. Designed as a sleek yet approachable neighborhood destination, the space is centered around a lively bar offering a curated selection of sake and Japanese beers, marking a rapid and ambitious milestone for the hospitality group's growing influence on the city's dining scene.
