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 !“

“Hands down the best sushi in H-Town. The Sashimi Sampler (and honestly everything else we had) was superb. The server gave recommendations and the otoro was to die for. Beer, sake, and whiskey were excellent. This is the place, hands down, no debate.“

“This was our first time eating here and everything was absolutely delicious and very high quality. Our nigiri was perfect and we appreciated the creativity and flavor combinations in the rolls we tried. Our favorite was the citrus hamachi. Very bright and fresh! We'll be back for sure.“

“I always love coming to this Pokeworks! The staff are all amazing, but especially Lidia who always shows so much care for us and our order. I really appreciate how she'll verify our ingredients, which I know can be hard to hear us due to the masks we wear.“

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

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

“Had a fantastic time at TINS! Chef Sky was super friendly and made the whole experience feel personal. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends.“

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

“MF is my favorite sushi place in Houston. Ive tried many of them and just keep coming back to this one. Everything on the menu us amazing but if you have to pick something, their Nigiris are delicious and a must try!
We recently had the Omakase experience and every single item was exquisite. A must have experience!“

“A Fancy Night Out… But Just Once

If you’re looking for a quiet, almost whisper-level dinner spot with unlimited sake and wine (yes, unlimited—but you don’t get to pick), this omakase experience might be your jam. Just don’t show up too early unless you enjoy standing awkwardly outside like you’re trying to sneak into a club that only opens 15 minutes before the show.

There are only 10 seats total, so it feels exclusive—like you’re part of a secret sushi society. The atmosphere is very quiet. Like, “you can hear your chopsticks think” kind of quiet. If you’re into zen vibes and hushed conversation, you’ll love it. If you’re looking for a party vibe… this ain’t it.

We were celebrating our anniversary (other couples were there for birthdays), and while they did ask about special occasions, nothing actually happened after that. No candle, no “Happy Anniversary” scribbled in miso, not even an extra piece of fish. It’s fine—we weren’t expecting fireworks, but a little something would’ve been nice.

The food? Delicious. Truly. You can tell each piece was prepared with care, and some bites were borderline spiritual. That said, for the price… it’s probably a one-and-done kind of deal for us. Glad we tried it, wouldn’t rush back.

Bonus tip: Limited parking right in front, so plan ahead or practice your parallel parking skills.“

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

“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.“

“We really enjoy this spot. The food is very flavorful and the cocktails are solid. Happy hour prices make it very reasonably priced too. The citrus salmon is delicious! The lychee martinis taste very fresh too...not like syrupy mix. Great for a date night or an evening out with friends. We sometimes go early when we want to take our young kids (they open at 5pm for dinner).“

“Quality sashimi and sushi rolls“

“Best restaurant experience of my entire life. Quality of food is absolutely unbeatable.
I have travelled more than 48 countries and trust me the food here is better than anything Ive tried ever before.
Can’t say enough about it, just that it is worth to literally get a flight from OC to Houston only for this absolutely incredible experience and quality food here.
Keep up the great quality please.
Btw: Sara Habibi was our waitress, she added extra joy to our night.
I LOVE UCHIKO for life.“

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

“Kira is a certified hit! I did the 7 course chef's tasting and every course was delicious. The lobster hand roll was hands down my favorite, the shitake mushroom hand roll was my least favorite (it wasn't bad , it just wasn't as good as the other rolls). The dessert was also really delicious. I definitely reccomend checking Kira out if you like high end sushi.“

“Today I had a special experience at this hidden Japanese restaurant in Houston. It's run by an older Japanese couple who cook with passion. The sushi was some of the freshest I've ever had, and to my surprise, the miso soup—which I don't normally enjoy—was delicious. It felt like being in someone's home, with love in every dish.🍣✨“

“This restaurant is the best sushi restaurant in all of Texes. Jarnee is the best and was really a nice waiter. He deserves a raise. I loved this restaurant. This is not the last time I am coming here. Thank you for giving me one of the best sushi and nigiri I have ever tasted.“

“Katami is Japanese for Keepsake. What a sentimental word, and what an emotion invoking meal that was. I believe this was the best sushi I’ve had to date in my life.

The flavors were so subtle but perfectly complemented their counterparts. I was blown away by the Hokkaido Buri Yellowtail and loved the Hamachi Yuzu. Not only was the food phenomenal, the service was tip top and the restaurant elegantly designed. Lighting was perfect. Sound was balanced. You’re in for a special treat when you go to Katami.“

“Service was excellent! Restaurant and bathrooms are super clean. Very nice atmosphere and played some greattttt music for everyone including my daughters’ obsession Kpop! The sushi was fresh. Dumplings amazing! I will definitely be back. Very family friendly and quiet enough for casual lunch or meet ups. I love it here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Easily the best bang for your buck sushi in Houston. The sushi is super fresh and they have a large menu with tons of options. They have gluten free soy sauce for the celiac and gluten intolerant. If you’re not looking to splurge at one of the really high end sushi places, this is the place.“

“I loved this restaurant’s cozy, eclectic atmosphere. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was overall delicious. Some standouts include the chicken fat rice and the chef’s choice nigiri. They also had some great lunch set deals, and they have several options in their yakitori menu for non-sushi eaters as well. Overall, the presentation and execution of detail was incredible. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“Top quality sushi in casual, neighborhood joint. Stopped by to try out for a quick lunch on a Friday and took advantage of the “social hours” extended lunch menu / happy hour.

Nigiri set was outstanding. Fresh, tasty fish, nicely seasoned and served. Will be back!“

“Had a great evening at Hando! I loved that most everything was hand rolls so we had the opportunity to try a lot of the menu! All hand rolls were great and we had a hard time picking our favorite. Cocktails were delicious! Definitely recommend for a date night or a fun night out!

Dietary restrictions: I have a soy and gluten allergy and it was so easy to get items customized . The staff was very knowledgeable about how to fi! an item for me!m or what I should avoid.!“

“I used to come her when in worked in the medical center back 2019 and the food is still yummy to this day. The ambiance of Asahi feels like you arrived at a relatives house for a home cooked, comfort meal. My go to lunch order is miso soup, Crunchy roll, and Rock N Roll (added cream cheese).“

“I came back after a few years of break and I regret I didn’t come sooner :)
This bento is delicious with the Japanese style hamburger as the main feature. The eggplant shigiyaki was hot enough but didn’t burn my mouth. You may not think this as a standard Japanese lunch, but it is very much so and I can’t find many restaurants who serves it, and who cooks it well. The Wagyu burger lunch with all the yummy side dishes for $19. That’s awesome!“

“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!“

“Very intimate dinning experience, service was good, presentations were also good. Wine pairings was ok to me but if you are expecting more authentic Japanese style pairings this won’t be it. And one thing bothers me is there’s always a layer of coarse salt between fish and rice which almost prevents you to taste the sweetness of the fish and rice plus it messes up the smooth texture. Not sure if it’s a “signature” here but with all other great spices and unique flavored dressing this layer of salt is just too noticeable in a confusing way.“

“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 !❤️“

“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“

“As I stepped inside, Richard greeted me with charm and enthusiasm. It was lunchtime, and I opted for a delightful peachy lychee gin cocktail, paccompanied by crisp water, offered during weekday lunch hours.

For my main course, I chose the exquisite Hamachi, melt-in-your-mouth fresh and beautifully presented, paired with teriyaki sauce. I also indulged in the Daddy Doo sushi, a vibrant mix of spicy tuna and crab topped with salmon and avocado, finished with miso sauce, garlic chips, cilantro, and a kick of spicy mayo balanced by ponzu. Each bite was a festival of flavors.

The ambiance was serene, ideal for a cozy lunch date or productive meeting. The music was soft enough for conversation, while screens displayed the latest sports events, adding an entertaining touch. Overall, it was a delightful experience, blending great food with an inviting atmosphere.“

“Vegan menu was delicious!!“

“Came for quick dinner before attending a concert. If you want a quick, hopefully healthy and delicious meal before rushing on, come eat a poke bowl. Their prices are pretty reasonable. The concept is quite simple, very similar to Subway where you create your own meal. There are 6 easy steps listed on the sign to start your order. First is choose size/how much you want to eat. Second, choose sides. Three, choose proteins. Four, select mix-ins (ie onions, cucumbers, etc.) Five, choose sauce. Step 6 choose toppings. Now you are done. Just pay and grab your food, eat, and you are now ready for your next adventure. Quick, easy, yummy. End.“

“The food was delicious 😋 especially the wrap. Plus, staffs were friendly and always greeted you with a smile.“

“Sushi Wabi is always fantastic. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are so kind. The pricing is very reasonable and they offer a wonderful happy hour. Parking can be a bit right at times so if you're going with a group you may want to carpool!“

“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.“
