Hussain Haider
Fantastic restaurant with amazing food and really gracious welcoming hosts, the owner Jason dropped by and introduced himself and he’s a gem. Seriously one of the top 3 restaurants I’ve been to in the last decade. It’s hard to find food this good nowadays no matter the price point, but especially kosher certified. Many charge a lot but the quality is lacking. Not this place. You’ll get what you pay for here. We tried 7 different dishes and each one was fantastic. This is my new go to restaurant in the Houston area.

Genesis is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to!! And I live in New York. I dream about their steak every time until I have it and then I’m in a food coma when I walk out. It’s the highlight of my visits to Houston. Best food, best experience. Highly recommend!

One of the best places around. The food quality reflects the price tag, yet it is worth it. Their sushi is exceptional; I would recommend giving it a try. They have a great wine selection to pair with meat or fish. Make sure to check it out.

Best kosher restaurant in Houston! The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The burgers and steaks are great, but my personal favorite is the Benjamin, the buffalo fried chicken sandwich.

We loved the place. First of all the ambience is warm and cozy. Then the service is above excellent. The waiters are helpful, present but not annoying. The food was delicious, big portions and prices are pretty reasonable for the upscale level of the restaurant. Highly recommended!

Lived up to its reputation as a first class Steakhouse. Food was absolutely delicious, served piping hot and the care and preparation that went into the steak were readily evident. I would unhesitatingly recommend Genesis and look forward to visiting next time I am in Houston
David Lugassy
The service was absolutely insane. Ive never received better service at a restaurant before. They were all so knowledgeable and kind. They were minutes from closing and happily made me an order to go. I was really,really impressed. The food was fresh and outstanding. If your ever in Houston, this is a must try! I got the Poke,Ceviche,burger and short rib tacos :)🍔🌯
