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

“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.“

“The service was fabulous - from my entrance until I left. I met with a colleague and we both had the prix fixe lunch and a couple of martinis. Everything was delicious. I particularly liked the hamachi maki and she enjoyed the hama chili. I can't wait to try dinner at this restaurant.“

“Koi is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, the vibe was welcoming, stylish, and full of energy. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor—every bite was a hit.

What truly made the experience super spectacular was our amazing servers, Van and Hannah. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel taken care of without ever being overbearing. Their recommendations were spot-on and their service elevated the entire night.

If you’re looking for top-tier sushi with outstanding service, Koi is the place. We’ll definitely be back—ask for Van and Hannah if you want a perfect dining experience!“

“My first visit to MF Sushi was in 2015, and my latest visit 11 years later was just as impressive as the first. We sat at the sushi bar to change up the pace and catch the head sushi chef working his art. Truly amazing.

This is a place you come to for the quality of the fish. We had 2 orders of the avocado balls with spicy tuna, so good. Chutoro and ocean trout sashimi, it was so tender and the taste so uniquely fresh. We tried the chef’s deluxe nigiri, none of the cuts disappointed. The hamachi appetizer was also very good. Our last dish was the lobster Osaka box, my favorite roll in the whole wide world! Still as satisfying as the first time I had it.

It’s a sushi restaurant with style and atmosphere, a great date night spot. 100% recommended, over and over again.“

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

“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.“

“Came into Pokeworks Greenway today and had a great experience. Moises gave excellent service, super friendly, helpful, and fast. He made sure everything was right and had a great attitude. Definitely made my visit better. I’ll be back for sure.“

“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.“

“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.“

But to top it off the food was amazing and this was my first time having raw fish and a chef’s experience like this! It was worth every penny ! I urge anyone to try it and you won’t regret it!“

“Tokyo Ramen & Sushi Japanese Restaurant has quickly become my favorite spot for fresh sushi 🍣 and Asian food. They offer a great deal of any two rolls for $16.95 and, in addition, they have great choices you can add a la carte if you want more.

In my video you can see (2) of over 40 different rolls and 6 pieces of sushi I ordered: two uni, two torro and two yellowtail belly.

Highly recommend you give this restaurant a try if you haven't already!“

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

“Decided to come by with friends to give the place a try from recommendation and had a really good time, mainly because Ashley took great care of us. She was super nice and gave us awesome drink recommendations. We tried a bunch of nigiri salmon, hamachi, foie gras scallop and everything tasted fresh and really good including the truffle fries. The ramen was solid and comforting, and the bread pudding for dessert was so good, definitely worth getting. Overall just a great experience with good food, good drinks, and great service. Would 100% come back.“

“My family really enjoyed here“

“I walked in and asked someone nearby for a menu .He said menus are online rudely and walked off . I stood up there for a few minutes no one came back up to greet me or take my order . As soon as some Caucasian people walk in a man came out back greeted them & seated them all while I was just standing there . I just left respectfully . I was shocked that this place of business only caters to certain races not the African Americans and I normally dine in at the Mexican Restaraunt but I seen that a new spot opened up and I wanted to support . My family has been̈ treated very nice at the Mexican restataunt in the same shopping center everytime we go Customer Service is superb . This Educated African American will happily spend her black dollars where it is appreciated .You all need to take notes on welcoming everyone to your place of business regardless of color .“

“I went here with my Japanese friend, we ordered sushi lunch, chirashi sushi, agedashi-tofu and isobeage( fish cake tempura). Everything was delicious and we both were very happy and satisfied! Food was very fresh and delicious! High quality food and very reasonable price! We arrived there 11:30am and waited outside, so the food came very fast too. Definitely come back again!“

“Don't be intimidated by the size of this place; the food is incredible. The menu is diverse and offers fresh, delicious options at reasonable prices. I love the low lighting and lively atmosphere. The service was organized and attentive, and the food was once again amazing!“

“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.“

“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’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.“

“This is my favorite sushi place. The portions are great, especially for sashimi and nigiri. They have a ton of options and their prices are also amazing. Sometimes on busy nights there's a bit of a wait but I've never decided the wait wasn't worth it.“

“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.

“Vegan menu was delicious!!“

“This place is a diamond in the rough! Such great quality food, tastes absolutely phenomenal, decor inside is so cozy and welcoming. Waiters and owners are very nice answering our questions about the food. My favorite dish is the Shrimp Fried Rice so flavorful, savory, and of course delicious.
The Yaki Soba with chicken was as very good. Very earthly, smooth texture made from buckweed. Cheesecake was sweet with cherry and caramel drizzle. First time trying tempura ice cream. Loved it. Mine came with vanilla bean ice cream inside. The combination of the crunchy tempura shell with the sweet ice cream was so good. 10/10 🤩“

“It’s so good. I like it 👍“

“Yall, this place is so good, especially for the price. They have happy hour food and drink specials everyday and the service is always amazing. Kim, Donte, and Anthony are always so attentive, knowledgeable, and sweet. The shishito peppers and crab puffs are good. The baked mussels are *chefs kiss* amazing! Volcano roll and garlicky tuna are superb! And lastly they have some of the best spicy ponzu sauce I’ve ever had. (Also the music is really good here so A+++ for atmosphere)“
