About Sushi by Hidden

Sushi by Hidden is a speakeasy-style sushi restaurant that offers a unique and exciting dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delicious sushi, made with high-quality fish and creative toppings. The omakase menu is like an express version, but guests can stay for more sushi a la carte style. The restaurant also offers a variety of nigiri, including a highly recommended wagyu piece. The Engawa, in particular, is a customer favorite, described as life-changing and a must-try.

The restaurant has a fun and lively atmosphere, with a younger crew that provides great interaction with guests. The service is efficient, starting right on time, and the restaurant has an NFT gallery for guests to enjoy before or after their meal. The restaurant has no signage, making it a hidden gem for those who can find it.

Recent reviews highlight the incredible experience, fresh and exciting dishes, friendly staff, and unique atmosphere. Guests have praised the fun and engaging chefs and the adorable hostess/server. The Engawa Truffle from the a la carte menu is especially memorable. The sushi, service, and atmosphere are all highly appreciated. Visitors can bring their own sake, which is served in an ice bucket, or choose from drinks and sake options available at the restaurant. It is a perfect spot for special occasions like anniversaries and is highly recommended.

Many reviewers consider it the best value omakase sushi in Houston, with lightning-fast service. The quick turn allows for a 30-minute experience even with added options, making it very reasonable in price. The restaurant is ideal for those who love to eat quickly and efficiently, rather than for long, drawn-out dining experiences. It has an upscale feel without pretension, where artful sushi is appreciated without grandstanding by the chef. The course progression and service are as effective as the Japanese train system or, in Texas terms, as efficient as a Chick-fil-a drive-thru. Finding street parking can be tricky unless you valet, so arriving early is recommended since they start on time.

The restaurant is not very noticeable from the street, but once inside, it feels like entering an art gallery. It is by reservation only, with limited seating at a long counter on high stools, which are quite comfortable once sat upon. Each seating is limited to 12 people, and sushi is prepared right in front of guests and passed out as it’s finished. Guests enjoy a variety of different types of sushi, and the service is excellent. Used and dirty dishes are promptly collected, and beverages are kept full. Guests start with a small wet towel to clean their hands, and the ginger served is fresh and moist. Most of the sushi is delicious, though a few pieces might not be to everyone's taste, but there’s plenty for everyone and everything is very fresh. The background music can make it hard to hear the cooks or server, but overall, the experience is enjoyable and unique. The base charge is $60.00 per person, with a small additional fee for hot tea. Dinner is more expensive, making it more suitable for special occasions. Reservations are required, and arriving a few minutes early is recommended.

Some of the best sushi I've had in my travels! Delicious, fresh fish with amazing flavor combinations. The staff was great! Attentive to special needs and conversational through the while experience.

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