About us
At Hidden Group, we are dedicated to creating unique and intimate experiences. Our journey began in 2020 with Hidden Omakase, where we set out to redefine dining in Houston. Recognized as one of the most outstanding omakase restaurants by Eater Houston, Hidden Omakase quickly became a cornerstone of our culinary vision. As we expanded with Sushi by Hidden, which has been hailed as one of the most romantic dining spots by Modern Luxury Magazine, and Norigami, celebrated as one of the best handroll experiences by Eater Houston, our passion for exceptional cuisine and immersive atmospheres only grew. Now, we're excited to bring our distinctive approach to Puerto Rico, continuing our commitment to excellence in every bite.
