50 Best Sushi Bars near Bellaire

“My boyfriend found this gem of a restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Immediately upon arrival, the entire staff welcomes you with a smile and a traditional Japanese greeting. Everyone is highly skilled in their trade, from the waitress, to the mixologist, to the chef, and to the chef assistants. Every single staff member is absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail is immaculate. Their chef, Yoshi made us feel right at home, with a warm smile, and he shared with us so much of his knowledge from Japan. Not only did I savor and enjoy every last bite but I also learned so much! Yoshi’s Japanese cuisine is literal art, and he mesmerized us by his unique blend of flavors. Every bite was unique and delicious. The chef assistants handled every course with precision and care, and worked amazingly fast. It was as if we were also getting a cooking show at dinner. Truly an art form. Our waitress also left us speechless by how knowledgeable she is and her skills to memorize every single course that was handed to us was just amazing. Their mixologist made a special mocktail customized just for me as I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. Our lovely waitress asked me what I was looking for in a drink, so I told her something savory, citrusy, and not overly sweet. With those few words, the mixologist created a special blend of flavors to create the perfect mockail. Honestly, the best mocktail I’ve ever had! If I could give them 100 stars I would. We will definitely be coming back. I want to thank every single one of them for making our first omakase dinner so special! P.s. Their bathroom is amazing! Definitely instagramable, perfect for selfies!“

“Great service, show, food. Nice decor. Fun place.“

“I was so busy eating this magnificent food that I forgot to take pics!!! This establishment is a must!! If you are a foodie you must go there asap! The combination of the foods and flavors have that undeniable "WOW" factor!!! I apologize for not taking pics because the presentation is fabulous too of course!!“

“Great place ... best sushi that I have had . The staff was so nice !“

“Our experience at MF Sushi was incredible. I brought my sister here to celebrate her upcoming wedding, and it could not have been a better choice. We sat at the sushi bar and watched the chefs create everything right in front of us, which made the night feel really special. My sister and I are both pretty serious about sushi, and MF lived up to every expectation. The quality, presentation, and flavor were right on par with Michelin-star spots like Sushi By Scratch. The staff went above and beyond, even surprising us with a complimentary champagne toast to celebrate. Between the amazing food, the calm and elegant atmosphere, and the thoughtful service, everything came together perfectly. Easily one of the best sushi experiences in Houston. Highly recommend.“

“We were in the area for an Artwalk event so we Googled for a place nearby we could satisfy our sushi craving. Wow! What a fantastic find! Jellyfish is located on busy Ella Blvd in a very modest inconspicuous shopping strip - if you’re not looking, you’re going to miss it. Don’t miss out though!! This place has delicious food and you’ll experience excellent service. Everything was super fresh and prepared to perfection. I enjoyed the hibachi steak/chicken, grilled veggies & steamed rice. The meats were tender as were the veggies perfectly grilled & seasoned as well. We shared a roll of Sushi that was masterfully prepared by cooks that know how to do it. The restaurant is simple inside but kept very clean. We had no problem with parking. Restrooms very clean. We will return and recommend Jellyfish to others for fresh authentic Japanese cuisine.“

“Hands down the best omakase experience in Houston—and my favorite restaurant in the city. The quality of the fish was exceptional, each course felt like a work of art. The service was flawless—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. For the level of detail and care, the price is an absolute steal. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience, this is it.“

“Unforgettable and intimate experience, easily a 10/10. It’s a dinner curated for the guest - from the way they greet you and your guest by name when you walk in, the conversations the chefs have with you as they’re preparing your sushi, etc., this dinner was money well spent.“

“Awesome food and staff. They are always so kind and helpful. Love the atmosphere and location“

“Great place ... best sushi that I have had . The staff was so nice !“

“The poke here is top tier and at this greenway location and Elise was absolutely great! She served us and was so friendly and helpful the whole time. You can tell she really cares about giving good service. She made our visit super enjoyable and we’ll definitely be coming back !“

“Amazing food. Yes, it’s fast, but it’s still delicious and frankly a bargain for the quality of the food“

“5 Stars! (Only because I couldn’t rate them 10 stars) Soto is a sushi lover's dream. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is welcoming and stylish, perfect for a relaxing meal. The service is top-notch. Anthony was attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The sushi was the real star, with fresh, high-quality fish that practically melts in your mouth. The Ora King Salmon was standout, and the Fire Salmon was perfect. Drinks, including their selection of whisky and wine, paired well with our meal. Overall, Soto delivers a memorable dining experience. If you’re in the Houston Area, don’t miss out. Special thanks to our waiter Anthony, the GM Mariela, and of course the master chef behind it all Moto Soto.“

“TEN out of 10!!! Definitely recommend!“

“KAITEN Sushi is hands down one of the best spots in town if you’re looking for high-quality sushi at a price that’s hard to beat. Every time I go, I’m impressed by the freshness and presentation — it easily rivals places that charge twice as much.

I especially love when they run their specials; it’s the perfect chance to try something new while still getting incredible value. The service is always warm and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better.

If you’re craving sushi that delivers both on quality and price, KAITEN is absolutely the place to go.“

“My family really enjoyed here“

“I went to Tins with 4 colleagues last night for dinner. Chef Sky blew it out of the park. Every dish in the 14 course dinner was unique and full of so much flavor! Two of my co-workers are very picky eaters and loved 12 out of the 14 dishes (pretty good record for people who don't eat raw fish at all!). Chef Sky entertained us throughout the meal and made sure that our sake glasses were always full. I will be back!“

“Extraordinary sushi!!! You can really taste the difference in fish quality compared to other sushi restaurants. It's a bit more expensive, but it's totally worth it. Very creative options too! This place truly stands out. The service was also great!“

“Excellent. Omar took great care of us. Amazing happy hour experience with a quiet schedule that allows service to shine. I always go for early HH schedule not because of the lower prices, although I can take advantage of some items. But if you look at my $500 bill it was about the overall experience. I don't go for dinner or lunch anymore because it becomes a POOR experience when it is crowded. Service drops, restaurant is loud, and sushi bar can't deliver a personalized experience.“

“Delicious Food and great for a date night or Girls night out! 🙌🎉“

“I recently visited this place, and it was a real gem. It’s a bit of a drive, but my friend raved about it, and I couldn’t resist checking it out.

The shop is run by a lovely older Japanese couple, and they don’t take reservations, so we arrived as soon as they opened at 12 pm.

The exterior might not be the most flashy, but the food inside is absolutely incredible! The menu is small, but everything is carefully crafted and bursting with flavour. The sashimis are cut so thick and fresh, they’re a sight to behold. And the best part? The prices are very reasonable.

I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Really cozy restaurant -delicious rolls - prices very affordable and more during the HH! Vivian is the host and makes me feel like im in Vegas,(she knows what table I prefer & what I always order). My friends are meeting up with me here because of its quality sushi/sashimi and service“

“Excellent food, service and folks! I highly recommend Exodus!❤️“

“The restaurant's small size comes off as intimate not constrained. The staff was super kind and that set a great mood in the whole place. They expertly care for your experience. I'm truly impressed. The sushi is the best. We'll come back for sure.“

“Solo bday lunch with a migraine
migraine
Interior was really nice inside, staff was really accommodating Miguel was awesome.
I believe I got the special lunch b option 1 roll and 5 nigiri pieces I also ordered eel and otoro.
Not super bad pricing id say its definitely way more affordable than a lot of other spots“

“Delicious sushi, friendly service, and immaculate vibes! I knew it was going to be a great night when I heard Tame Impala vinyl playing. Their donburi rice bowls and temaki hand rolls were amazing. Don’t forget to order the Kakigori shaved ice for dessert. Bar seating only. Will definitely come back again!“

“We’ve only done take out from Miyabi but wow are they on point. Their sushi is Consistent, fresh, and delicious. For context, we’ve done uchi, Soto, etc., so we know what good sushi should taste like.“

“I had a great time celebrating my birthday. The drinks were amazing. The service was excellent. Everyone said they like their food. I had an issue with mine. I got the lobster and filet mignon roll and it was pretty pricey, and it was not good. The only good part that was good was the fried Lobster. The roll itself was not tasty at all. I will be back, but I was disappointed. I wanted to treat myself.“

“Sept 2025.
I asked if they had a wait time, and they said they had an open spot available for one. It was at 830pm mind you. When I got there, they no longer had it available, or at least that's what the host said, and then the host said they were no longer taking spots so I was out of luck at 830pm(they close at 10pm). Then immediately following this another pair of people walked in, and they took their names. I've been coming to Oishii since 2007, and when a restaurant rejects you like this, all I can think is to pretty much no longer visit. I guess if you go by yourself you're not welcome. I won't be returning, so that's how you lose a customer of 18 years.“

“Love coming here! Great service, amazing food, and I love their drinks!“

“Great food and service. We are regulars at this restaurant and food is always great and consistent. Thank you Tai and Joel for the great service. My coworkers were very impressed with the restaurant. Delicious!“

“Absolutely the high quality sushi spot garden oaks needed! Bless the Aiko / Mustache group for this one. Ocean trout, Madi, o toro = all must haves. The only little thing I wish I could change about this place- and it’s totally personal- it’s right in front of a little park ish area? So def some kids involved lol“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Katami. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and every one of the dozen options we ordered was perfection, beautiful interior as well. Highly recommend“

“my first time here and it was so good! cozy atmosphere, service was phenomenal and the food was amazing!“

“This is my hidden gem. I love this place so much. Japanese food by Japanese chefs and waiters. Perfection. This is my second time here and every plate has been phenomenally delicious.

Food we ate and loved :

- Daikon salad (with plum dressing)
- 7 piece Tsukiji Chef’s choice nigiri sushi
- Nankotsu Kaarage (fried chicken cartilage)
- crispy Fish karaage
- Agenasu (eggplant in garlic soy sauce)
- Tsukiji Sashimi assorted
- Truffle Chawanmushi“

“Incredible dinner last night with my son and granddaughter . The server was incredible and food so delicious . This was my son’s favorite restaurant when he was in medical school and always loves to return when visiting Houston . Bonus this visit as he got to bring his 2 year daughter who loved the miso soup and chicken fried rice. 😀“

“I've been coming here for years since my Lil sister lives nearby and in walking distance. THEIR happy hour is great and their thai wings are 😋 always yummy! The sushi rolls are delicious as well, we had the DAMN GOOD ROLL WITH SHRIMP TEMPURA, cream cheese and avocado 🥑 😋. We will be back for happy hour soon! It wasn't too busy so please support our local restaurants!“

“Vegan menu was delicious!!“

“The food is always delicious and fresh. Customer service on point !! Highly recommend“

“Handies douzo never disappoints. The newest location still exceeds the expectations, as the other locations do. Same exceptional service, timely rolls, and lovely experience. This will always be my favorite handrolls spot in Houston and I’ll be a loyal customer for a long time. The entrance is a little confusing when you use google maps to direct.“

“Good atmosphere and the Sushi was so mouth watering ! The host and hostess were so on top of it. Pleasant atmosphere and company! Four Stars ⭐️ from me !❤️“

“Oh my goths! (L O L!!) I passed by this place before and after work but never dined there...UNTIL TODAY! I had miso soup 🍜 with tofu in a couple of places but this restaurant served it with mushrooms 🍄‍🟫, I NEVER ENJOYED MUSHROOMS! The way the restaurant prepared their miso soup was so delicious that I savored each spoonful 🥣🥄 before gulping it down. Then came THE DAILY CHEF'S LUNCH SPECIAL, MY DEAR CELESTIALS! Everything tasted and looked outstanding and delectable; it's all about presentation and they excelled it 🍣. Then came their salad 🥗 with this ginger 🫚 pureed dressing with a tang 🍋‍🟩🍋 (I am assuming this) that complimented well that it left my tongue wagging for more variety of flavors. Last but not least, CHICKEN KATSU and healthy yet small portions of rice 🍚 and cooked vegetables 🥕 , ooh yes 😋. By the way, for a small place in Westheimer Road, this restaurant gets packed a little bit, their meals can be moderately expensive BUT for me it was worth the dine—SATISFIED TILL THE END.“

“Really great sushi and sashimi at great prices. They have a real sushi chef! Their happy hour prices are amazing! Shrimp tempura roll, New York roll and chicken fried rice are my favorites.“

“Went to Kanau Sushi during the week and had a great experience. It wasn’t busy, the setting felt really relaxed and intimate. The sushi was fresh and tasty, and everything came out just right. Definitely worth checking out — I’ll be back for sure.“

“This restaurant was absolutely awesome… From the hostess to the wait staff, and the food was amazing!“

“Ok, first things first, the food is excellent! Freshly made and delicious. We had a variety of ramen, udon, and multiple rolls. Everything was great! Their menu is EXTENSIVE! The staff are attentive and responsive. The shop is clean and bright. I can't say enough good things about this place. I will most certainly return for another great meal! Carla“

“Excellent services, we came there for several times for a family dinner and couple birthday parties. The waiters and chefs were very considerate people. They paid attention to the details. The food was top of the line. I normally don’t eat raw sushi but raw sushi there were perfect. Nice presentation! The drink (lychee) was great. Beautiful and cozy decoration. my husband is a picky eater but he loves there too. Highly recommended.“

“Very creative and innovative flavor profiles in each dish, excellent service, the staff is talkative and friendly and we received multiple gifts and even got to take some food home because the 20-course was very filling. The only thing I felt was missing out of the experience was a little bit of ginger to clean the pallette between dishes.

Definitely will be back!“

“Awesome service and friendly staff. Great food!“

“Hando is a fantastic little spot to get high quality, interesting sushi. On my most recent lunch visit I had the trout, daikon, and vegetable hand rolls. All were delicious! The miso eggplant is really unique and beats eggplant dishes at the likes of Uchi and Kara. Definitely worth trying.“
