50 Best Sushi Bars near Stafford

“The sushi is really good here, and like the name says they play a variety of music but most is classic Rock n Roll. This is the second time my wife and I were here and we were extremely pleased they have a place is Stafford that offers sushi. I like spicy sushi and what I got was absolutely delicious. This place ROCKS! The service, the food, and the environment gets my thumbs up!!“

“Came here last minute to meet up with some friends.Asked my waiter for recommendations and ordered every single one he said, glad I did. Every dish he recommended was just ? ?(chefs kiss). If I remember correctly I had the Unagi , ocean picante roll (mos def recommend) , salmon & watermelon ceviche , and the Texas wagyu bowl. The fish was tender and so good plus the wagyu beef so soft.First time here and definitely not my last.“

“While I have brand loyalty to a certain hospitality group in Houston, and the market is saturated, I am pleased to have found another go-to spot for high-quality omakase. Hidden can be found through a non-descript door of the center that houses Burger Chan and Conservatory. Hidden is familial and customers are seated in a U-shape counter. The chefs and hosts are engaging and super friendly. Hidden is BYOB with a corking fee. We had an 18-course omakase. Dishes range from oyster, nigiri, crudo, handroll, cooked items, apps, and a dessert. It was difficult for me to decide what my favorites were... they were delicious in their own unique way. While one reviewer disapproved of the toppings such as truffle butter and chili garlic, I found them to be pleasing and didn't feel like the fish was overpowered by them. The fish were buttery, fresh and flavorful. Worth a visit.“

“We were lucky enough to get the last service by Chef Jonathan. We had his Kobe fair well tour!And he made our experience amazing! We had recently had their parent restaurant Hidden Omakase and we enjoyed it but was recommended to try this joint for a lower price point and shorter meal.So for dinner they do 45 mins and they start on time so make sure you come a little early and take some pictures in the nft gallery out front. If you park it’s to the left of the Italian restaurant and has no signage.Once seated they get started right on the dot. But even though it’s a short service Jonathan explained what we were getting in great detail. We got better interaction here with the crew than at Hidden Omakase. It’s a younger group and more fun and lively.The Engawa was the best thing I have ever eaten at any sushi restaurant. This thing is life changing. And you’re able to get an extra piece as an a la carte add on. Do it!!! You will not regret it.My wife and I were so impressed, we will definitely be back and at this price point we can come more often.Best of luck on your next Journey chef Jonathan your skills will truly be missed here.“

“My husband and I eat here once a week. The sushi is just as good as any restaurant closer to the city. The Lunch Menu and Dinner menu options are all very delicious. We get something different every time we visit. The staff is very friendly. So close to home!“

“We went to Roka to celebrate a new job! It's one of the date night/special occasion spots in our rotation. The ambiance and decor is nice, service is great, but the food really steals the show. Top tier! Everything I've had is phenomenal!! The crispy fried squid, Robata grilled octopus, and sweet corn you MUST try. All AMAZING. The cheesecake desert is insane, completely delicious. To be honest though everything we have had there is good. The prime ribeye, the sushi rolls, the pork belly, the wagyu beef dumplings, and the yuzu miso black cod, yellowtail are all amazing and in rotation. Also If you enjoy a cocktail they have this Margarito with Tajin that is solid! I'm picky so not easy to please. Roka is top tier.“

“Went on a Wednesday for all day Happy Hour with some friends. Had beer, wine and the omakase - this is an excellent spot, the service was impeccable even at the bar.Drinks were kept flowing, the sushi and the oysters on the omakase were to DIE for. I live in the area so super nice to have a great sushi place nearby.Highly recommend taking advantage of the HH here. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I came here for dinner one night with a friend and what a hit this place was! Casual, yet trendy atmosphere. Seating was prompt and service was attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and the quality was top tier. The aburi on fire roll and yasai kinoko tofu was absolutely DELICIOUS! Parking was super easy and this place is a solid 5 star. If you want fresh quality food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back with friends and family for dinner!“

“The food here is absolutely delightful and flavorful. The ambiance is incredible, perfect for a date. The service is punctual and the staff takes pride in describing the meal. Every aspect of the dining experience is described with precision. The kitchen is constantly working on masterpiece after masterpiece. Overall, the experience is delightful and the desserts are killer. Not one staff seemed out of place and constantly kept the momentum of the restaurant moving.“

“Manny was our server for a surprise bday party of 12 guest! He was able to provide great service and very attentive to our needs especially with such a large group! Many of our friends were new to SOPO and they all loved it as much as we did! Will come back again soon!“

“My first time here, not only were we sat at a great section (seating is everything to me/it’s a vibe) but I had Keanon which made the entire experience freaking PHENOMENAL!!!!! I’m so picky with cocktails so I always order a dirty martini to be safe (trust me, restaurants do mess that up) but the cocktails were so good, well shaken. Keanon was so intuitive and checked in periodically without being overbearing where we felt like it’s a low key hint that I leave. Love Keanon and will request/visit soon!!Food isn’t great but atmosphere and service is everything. That’s my struggle when choosing a date -night restaurant. Atmosphere was great, drinks were awesome, food is mediocreService and atmosphere here is 10. Food…go to your nearest fav spot after leaving this place.“

“The food was very good. Nice slices of fish to rice ratio on the nigiri. The rolls were also very fresh and not much rice either which is nice. The tempura vegetables were great, fresh and fried to perfection. I was impressed with the service too. Andrea was our waitress and she was very attentive. The food came out quickly event though there were busy, we got there at 1pm on a Monday after Easter. Keep in mind Fort Bend schools were out, this definitely contributed to the crowd. The restaurant was clean and nice as normal. We will be going back.“

“Celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so nice to decorate the space for me. The food was also with delicious flavors that impressed all of my guests. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion with great food and exceptional service.“

“My coworker raved about Suki Sushi last month after trying it for the first time. When she told me that she'd be going there regularly since she lived in the area, I knew I would have to try it. At this point, I've gone to Suki Sushi three times already -- once to dine-in, and twice for takeout. I was never disappointed, and I would still visit if I'm ever in the area again! ** Food: 8/10 ** On my first visit, I tried a bento box (with teriyaki beef, California roll, and tempura), red snapper nigiri, and a spicy scallop hand roll. My favorite thing about the bento is that I can customize what 3 entrees I want in it, so I don't have to worry about ending up with something I don't want. * Teriyaki beef (10/10): This was amazing! I could taste that there was a slight char to the beef for an extra kick of flavor, which most other Japanese restaurants do not do with their teriyaki. I could eat this everyday, honestly. * California roll (??/10): I personally don't like this kind of roll, so I didn't eat any of it. My boyfriend ate all if of though, and he didn't have any criticisms. * Tempura (9/10): I love that the batter used for tempura here is not as heavy. It tastes lighter and a more airy, so to speak. I don't feel as bad after eating several pieces. * Red snapper nigiri (5/10): The fish was a bit bland for some reason. There was neither freshness nor brinyness to it, and I have no idea how this could be. * Spicy scallop hand roll (10/10): If you like spicy, this is definitely something to try! The hand roll is a good size, and there's plenty of scallop so that you don't feel skimped out on the price. For my second visit, I ordered a bento box as takeout. This time, I had to get the teriyaki beef again. It was just so good! Other items I got were: * Sashimi (7/10): The cuts weren't that big, and I felt neutral about the taste of each fish piece. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. * Chicken katsu (9/10): The chicken cutlet was huge! The texture was near perfection -- crispy and not dry inside. My only issue with the katsu was that too much sauce was drizzled on top of it. I would have preferred the sauce to be packaged separately for takeout, both to maintain the crispiness better and to also allow me some control on how much sauce I want on the cutlet. For my third visit, I didn't try any new items and just created another bento box with a mix of previous items that I liked~ ** Service: 10/10 ** The owner is very nice, efficient with sushi rolls, and full of smiles and warmth. I can tell he cares a lot about his business and whether or not his customers are having a good time eating the food there. The other worker I saw was a lady who waited and handled takeout orders. She was an absolute delight, and she also offered her own recommendations on what was good. ** Ambiance: 10/10 ** The restaurant isn't too big, but the atmosphere is very cozy and comforting. You can sit comfortably and not have to worry about too much excessive noise, and the decor is easy on the eyes. I found the utensil box on the tables very cute and a nice touch too! There's a fork, spoon, and pair of chopsticks inside -- although I wonder why they have chopsticks in there while also providing chopsticks outside of it?“

“I use to visit this restaurant before covid. Back in the area I was surprised to see it still operating...thankful as this place is awesome great food and quick service if you get there early. Local like most places in this area serves excellent sushi. “

“We really enjoyed the food at Aya. The sushi dishes are unique enough to distinguish itself from our regular sushi haunts. From the crudo dishes, the tempura, the nigiri, and even the dessert were all very enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back.What we really enjoyed:Salmon tatami (crudo)Amberjack nigiriKing mushroom401 makiMomo MakiCauliflower tempuraMiso apple pie with ice cream to finish it off!“

“The service is great here. As a lifelong vegetarian it's usually difficult to find places that are fully vegetarian. Many of the meals at this place have fake meats which I do not eat as I've never eaten meat. They were able to cater to my needs by not using any of these. The pad thai and Kung pao tofu were really good. Will go again. Highly recommend to vegetarian diets.“

“The best place in Houston for fresh sushi and good service and price.... specially Markus was great, every time we go there for dinner or happy hours. Thank you Marcuse.Parking: a lot of parking spaceKid-friendliness: yes They have kids menue“

“The service was awesome, and our server Chae was very attentive and super friendly. She really made me feel special on my birthday!The sushi was good and there were plenty of different options on the menu.Overall, very pleased with my experience dining here!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at PokeWorks recently and was truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by Terra. From the moment I walked in, Terra greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent.Terra's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were remarkable. She patiently guided me through the different options and helped me customize my poke bowl to perfection. Not only did she exhibit professionalism, but her friendly demeanor also made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.“

“This is my second time here and it was even better than the first time. The service is shockingly fast and very friendly. The quality and quantity of the rolls and sashimi could very well be the best in town. And wow the prices are so affordable, this place is unbeatable! Well maybe the ambiance isn’t bougie enough for fancy folks but if you actually want the best sushi in town give Matsu a shot.“

“Came here a while back with a friend, and we had a great time! The food was super tasty, and the service was very friendly. The food was also very reasonably priced! We ordered the rainbow and rock n' roll sushi rolls and the spam musubi. I'd definitely come back!“

“I come here all the time and the services have been consistently excellent! They always fill my bowl to the brim and do not skim on toppings. There was one time that the rice was a little dry, but after I talked to the manager, that never happened again :). Everything is delicious and fresh! Y’all should definitely stop by ?“

“We had the assorted sashimi plate which comes with 32 (?) pieces, da bomb roll, and potato and corn and crab croquettes, also some temakis. It’s definitely worth the wait time, and they are mostly busy. We went on a Monday evening and had to wait ~15 mins but it went by faster than that. All good, fish is fresh for the most part and prices are so fair. Will be back again :)“

“Our favorite sushi place in Meyerland! We go here so often that the staff know what we’re gonna order lol. Nemo roll is amazing. We also usually share a sushi/sashimi bento box substituting extra tempura instead of rice. The cocktails we’ve had are really good, especially the lychee. Also the tiger eye roll, New Orleans roll, and jalapeño roll.“

“Iwa Ya on Bellaire Blvd hit the spot for lunch today! The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was quick and friendly. We dove into their delicious spider roll, savoring the fresh ingredients and perfect texture. The katsudon was another winner, with its crispy pork cutlet and flavorful sauce. Even the miso and corn chowder soup impressed, offering a warm and comforting start to the meal. And to top it off, the prices were reasonable! Highly recommend Iwa Ya for a satisfying and enjoyable lunch experience.“

“I've come to eat here multiple times with my family. We love the bento boxes, the sushi, and the warm sake. The spicy crawfish, the Houston, the Black Pearl, and the Eel Roll were delicious when we went today. You can never order the wrong thing. I'd go all the time if it wasn't a bit expensive. Definitely a place for special occasions, tho!!!“

“Really want to give this a 1 star so the preppy wealth people don't ruin this gem, but God daa-mmn (two syllables) this place is effing fantastic. Please don't go and make this place popular and ruin it for me. Stay away! I love this place and don't want to have to wait for a table in the future.STAY... AWAY...Please, I need all the sushi and miso for me.DON'T GO.(sorry Hokkaido for the mixed review, you are SO GOOD and I am SO SELFISH)To my priest, John Patrick, "forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I used the Lord's name in vain, cursed, and told lies on the Internet... But, in a small defense, Jesus Christ himself never had sushi and miso soup like what is happening in this place."To my mother: "this post is completely out of character." And, "Yes ma'am."To the people who work at Hokkaido, ::applause:: "you effing geniuses! You did it!"To Google, "can we add a golden sixth star that can be used once per account? Please? They earned it."“

“General Description:A traditional Japanese restaurant. They have booths and a sushi bar.The space is on the smaller side.The good:- Tonkatsu Ramen: Broth was a bit different than most Japanese style ramen. I don't like fatty/heavy broth base. This one was on the lighter side.- Yellowtail sashimi was on the fresher side.The bad:- Chicken was rubbery.- Broccoli was overcooked.- Wasabi mix was watered down.Overall:Worth trying.“

“I recently dined at Sasaki Japanese Restaurant in Houston, Texas, and it was an absolute delight! The food was exceptional, Here are some highlights:*Flavorful Sushi and Sashimi: The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and had authentic Japanese flavors.*Intimate Atmosphere: Sasaki is a cozy little gem tucked away on Westheimer Road. The intimate ambiance adds to the overall experience. It’s perfect for a quiet dinner or a special occasion.*Attentive Service: The staff at Sasaki went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. From recommendations to timely service, they truly cared about our satisfaction.I wholeheartedly recommend Sasaki. It’s a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.“

“Local sushi hole-in-the-wall type restaurant. The menu is really good, but we usually make up our own rolls and they accommodate it well. We enjoy our meals at Yoshi's.Vegetarian options: Plenty of opportunities to avoid the animal products if you are vegan or plant-based. Miso soup, vegetable rolls, ramen, appetizers, etc.Dietary restrictions: We ask for some basic veggie rolls most of the time and the results are good.Parking: Either in front of their shop or in the whole foods parking lot, no big deal.“

“Here I would skip the sushi and focus on ramen. The Tamashi's Menn Ramen is a must, it's a shrimp based broth, not too fatty. The place is small and gets crowded pretty fast, but there is an option for a take out. Staff is very attentive and can adjust your order with no problem.“

“(don’t mind me digging in before i took a picture) the actual plates are so cute; they spent money on cartoony cat bowls and the actual food was amazing. i don’t eat much normally but i finished all of my food in one sitting that’s how good it was!! i got the curry chicken ramen it was so filling and had lots of flavor and extras in bowl; it wasn’t plain at all. this place is completely underrated; i went in on a saturday afternoon and i was the only person there!! more people should be eating here. the service was obviously amazing there was only one person working but he made sure i was attended to“

“It’s the best restaurant I have ever been to, the food it’s amazing the place is beautiful and most importantly the service is incredible also one person of the restaurant makes you an absolutely amazing experience, the manager Wanika is the best person you can ever meet. She is kind, funny and gives you an unforgettable expirience. I really recommend this place.“

“We decided to go Friday even for a quick bite and was looking for a new to us sushi place and we found Umami on Yelp had good reviews so figured why not. The restaurant is decorated nicely with a nice atmosphere. The service was impeccable as we were being check on quite frequently. As for the food , it was awesome, from the rolls to the freshly sliced fish. So if your over in Riverstone or find your self out that way stop in a give them your $$, you won't regret it.“

“The sushi was one of the best I’ve had - literally delicious. Especially the king Casper roll and these meat rolls as an appetizer that I can’t remember the name of, unfortunately. This place is one of the best restaurants in Houston, in my opinion based on of 4 years of dining here.“

“I am so in love with the salmon roll, shaggy dog, and dragon ball! Seriously, you have no idea how fresh and delicious the salmon tastes. It's like a taste explosion in my mouth! And let me tell you, the shaggy dog roll is absolutely divine. It's the perfect balance of flavors that leaves me feeling completely satisfied. But you know what really takes the cake? The dragon ball roll. Every time I sink my teeth into it, pure joy washes over me. It's like a little piece of sushi heaven. Even my little one can't get enough of it. It's a family favorite for sure!“

“Until I came here, I was reluctant to eat sushi in America. Most of the restaurants are run by people who have never been to Japan, and when we say sushi, it's rolls or sticky rice sushi, but this restaurant was different.I was able to speak with the owner, who said he had actually been to Japan, and the sushi rice and toppings were so good that I couldn't believe that they were available in America.The most delicious dish was the haburi kama.It reminded me of my mother's grilled kama that I ate in Japan.The price is a bit high, but if you can get this quality in America, it's worth it.It was the best sushi I've had in America!“

“I have a shellfish allergy so I'm usually rather nervous about eating in restaurants like this. The waitress was really nice when I told her about it as I ordered and she was keen to inform the chef. The sushi I received was amazing and the kitchen used top notch safety procedure regarding cross contamination. Solid place to go before the movies at Regal.“

“Our server John made my night, I was having a pretty rough evening and I had ordered the wrong thing and he helped make it right. He made me feel very validated and not ashamed of myself for making a mistake and turned my night around for the better. Thank you John, I really really appreciate it so much.“

“The food was always amazing at this place, i read some reviews and seem to ding oreferences instead of being familiar with the cuisine and way they are done typically. The food is amazing specially given the price, quality of dishes and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will go if im in the city.“

“I recently visited this karaoke spot and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. While the initial impression might suggest it's not the cleanest place, the food truly shines and surprises with each dish. I found the prices to be reasonable for the quality and variety they offer. The service provided by the staff, particularly the attentive and helpful ladies, was excellent. Additionally, the operating hours are convenient for this city. Overall, despite any initial reservations, I had a great time and would recommend it for a fun night out.“

“Great Tasting Sushi. If you haven't been, you have been missing out! I definitely recommend this restaurant (especially on the weekends for HH).They menu is very big so get ready to eat!We had the Pan Fried Gyoza with garlic sauce it was absolutely delicious. Nicely cooked with a tasty crisp. Must Try!The Shaggy Dog - Great recommendation and that spicy mayo just add that extra taste and flavor.The Las Vegas Roll - Great Tasting, cooked nicely, and the sauces complemented the sushi roll very wellYummy Yummy wasn't as yummy, but it wasn't bad.We will definitely be returning again! Thank you, Sushi Monster“

“It was my first time dining here. I had a Saba Shioyaki Bento. It was served hot, just off the grill. The fish fillet was a good size and tasted just fine. The green tea and miso soup and all side dishes were just fine as well. It probably seems no big deal to American people, but it’s not easy to find a bento that tastes just like we have in Japan. They were also playing very old Japanese songs (maybe 50 - 60 years old). It was like went back in time. Funny thing is the waitress said they don’t have any Japanese people working here. I’ll be back for sure!“

“Deja and Damon were kind and provided good service for my husband and me. The food tasted fresh and clean. The atmosphere is what you would expect for a quick bite eatery such as this, and thankfully, there was no overly loud music playing overhead.“

“Atmosphere was quite and cozy seated quickly to a nice big booth food came out fresh/hot (20mins no complaints there) generous portions size service was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu and new specials entrees . Overall had a nice experience.Vegetarian options: Sushi, fish, soups and rice options to choose fromParking: In Kroger shopping center lot of available spots“

“By far the best sushi spot we have been to. Me and my two boys visited this spot and have nothing but good to say. Everything was freshly made, fast, and our guy “Tony” was on point with his recommendations. Definitely coming back here when we’re back in “

“The food is mainly fresh throughout the year but some days are definitely a miss. The service is so so since it is mainly self serving. The price increase (inflation) is the main reason I chose not to frequent the place more than a few times a year.Vegetarian options: Not really a place for vegetarian unless you want some fruit and cucumberDietary restrictions: Some cooked options but sushi are mainly raw or seared. They do have seared beef and additional noodles dishes that are cooked.Wheelchair accessibility: Not that roomy“

“The food was great, I love their poké bowels and they have a variety of toppings. The service was wonderful, Jordan really did help me through the process when I first got there. Lastly, the atmosphere is very calming and relaxing, but bright which makes it a perfect place to hangout! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Everything I ate was delicious. Will definitely be back again. Sushi was fresh and well prepared, small plates were different than what you’d usually find at a Japanese spot. The miso glazed cod (gindara) and the black sesame spinach were highlights of the meal.“
