2024 Houston - Woodlands — Road Trip

Road Trip to Houston: A Relaxing Getaway

I recently had four days off and decided to take a road trip to Houston. During my stay, I dined at Bori K-BBQ and spent the night at the Woodland Resort. Overall, it was a pleasant and chill experience.

Dining Experiences

  • Bori K-BBQ - Amazing!
  • Hilton Woodland Resort - Phenomenal
  • Sushi Masa - Meh, Okay

Bori K-BBQ was the highlight of the trip. This upscale restaurant offered some of the best food I’ve had in a while, making it an unforgettable dining experience. In contrast, the other restaurants I tried were average at best. I ended up sticking to hotel food, which, while a bit pricey, was convenient and surprisingly decent.

The best part of the trip was simply doing nothing and relaxing. I took it slow and soaked in the atmosphere, which made for a refreshing break. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my phone with me and missed out on taking more pictures.

1. Bori K-BBQ - Amazing!

I visited Bori during lunch, and the food was both delicious and reasonably priced. I forgot to snap a pic of the Kalbi, which was one of the most flavorful dishes, but the beef tartare was also outstanding.







2. Hilton Woodland Resort - Phenomenal


The Hilton Woodland Resort was a phenomenal choice for my trip. While I found the breakfast buffet at Harrison to be just okay, the convenience of its location made it acceptable. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to experience the bar, so my beer enjoyment was limited during this trip.

The resort's facilities are impressive, with amazing pools and a prime location that makes it an ideal getaway. It wasn’t too crowded, which added to the relaxing atmosphere, making it perfect for a weekend retreat.





3. Sushi Masa - A Medicore Experience.

My visit to Sushi Masa was somewhat underwhelming. While it offers an All You Can Eat (AYCE) format, the requirement to order in advance was a drawback for me. I prefer a buffet style, as it’s difficult to gauge what a dish will be like without seeing it first.

Keeping my choices simple with Nigiri and Sashimi seemed to yield the best results. The heavily fusion items, unfortunately, were too laden with sauce, which detracted from their flavor.

The Udon was disappointing, and the Tuna Maguro had a mushy texture. The only dish that truly justified the price was the salmon, which was enjoyable. Overall, my experience at Sushi Masa was just okay, and it didn't quite meet my expectations.
