If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?? This is your hidden gem, local sushi spot. Modern interiors, delicious rolls, and reasonably priced.... You no longer need to leave the neighborhood! We've been coming in (or carrying out) the last several years and have always had a positive experience! The staff is friendly and the sushi comes out quickly. Definitely recommend checking them out if you've been curious but haven't done it yet. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Had Jellyfish delivered to the house tonight. Good, respectable sushi. Especially delivered. Rolls were good, nigiri fine. Edamame was good. Soup - ok. Nothing wrong, I think I would have preferred miso. My fault. I'd order from them again.
Jellyfish Sushi & Grill is a casual, family-friendly spot in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We went on a Sunday evening with our 14-month-old and saw lots of other kids, which made dining out easier. They had high chairs and quick service, which we appreciated. I ordered three rolls--the Jellyfish, Texas Himachi, and Cherry Blossom. They were fine, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. My husband's hibachi chicken and shrimp came with soup, salad, and veggies, and he swapped in fried rice for an extra charge. Our son's kid's teriyaki chicken was simple, but it worked for him. Service was great--our waiter was attentive and checked in often. The food? Just okay. If you want a quick, no-fuss meal with the family, it does the job, but don't expect anything special.
Jellyfish is located in the Garden Oaks area north of 610 on Ella. It's a neighborhood sushi spot; it is not high end sushi reinventing Japanese cuisine but is a more casual spot near the house. I came by for lunch and got a couple of rolls (crazy Irishman and skydiver roll; both roll names remind me of Azuma's old menu). We also got a couple of nigiri; chopped scallop, whole scallop, ebi, and unagi. Honestly everything was alright; nothing was great and besides the whole scallop, nothing was bad. Everything tasted as expected of a neighborhood spot but the seafood quality and presentation was definitely below the higher end sushi spots. TLDR neighborhood spot in the Garden Oaks area with reasonable sushi. Service for us was quite slow through the whole meal but they could have been shortstaffed for lunch service.
Had never dined here before, but was pleasantly surprised by my experience my first time. The sushi prices were very reasonable, and everything was very flavorful. They offer a lunch special, buy two rolls get either a miso soup or house salad for free. Will definitely be back!
As an avid sushi connoisseur who sticks to her top places and rarely strays, I am SO happy I took a chance one Jellyfish. It might have outdid my top spot (it definitely did). The waiter so was friendly and attentive, the onion soup (not pictured) reminded me of my childhood, and the sushi...omg...the SUSHI. First off I got Salmon and Hamachi nigiri and it was probably one of the freshest pieces I've had in a while. The salmon was so buttery and the yellowtail didn't have that dark red like that can give it a gamey taste. It was perfect and the flavor was on POINT. Now for my salmon avo roll add cucumber, they did not hold back with the filling. Butter salmon, fresh crunch or cucumber, and the creamy avocado all together was literally chefs kiss. I will be back here with my friends and family expeditiously! My absolute only critiques are: (1) I am not the biggest fan of the pink ginger as it can be thicker than pickled ginger (I don't mind though just a preference) (2) The gyoza was okay, but could be better!
This does not look on the outside as somewhere i would think has amazing sushi but it does. The inside is much nicer so don't judge a restaurant by its looks they have a nice menu and especially for those that do not or cannot eat seafood. We got the onion soup, house salad and the mixed tempura shrimp & veggies it was all very fresh and tasty. We got the Ichago and tiger eye. They were very tentative and clean. Surprisingly very affordable too. Service wonderful
Jellyfish Sushi & Grill is a casual Japanese restaurant located in a somewhat rundown strip mall, but at least there's plenty of free parking. We visited on a Sunday evening with our 14-month-old son and immediately noticed that it's very family-friendly--several other families with kids were dining, and they provided high chairs, which was convenient. The menu offers a mix of hibachi entrées, nigiri sushi, and rolls. I ordered the House Delight Hibachi Entrée ($23), which included chicken and shrimp grilled with light seasoning, along with onion soup, ginger salad, hibachi vegetables, and fried rice (an extra $3). My son had the Kid's Teriyaki Chicken ($8), which was just teriyaki chicken and white rice. My wife tried three sushi rolls: 1) Jellyfish Roll ($15) - Spicy tuna, sliced pepper tuna, cucumber, gochujang, and microgreens. 2) Texas Himachi Roll ($15) - Yellowtail, shrimp tempura, sliced jalapeño, and ponzu sauce. 3) Cherry Blossom Roll ($14) - Cucumber, avocado, microgreens, salmon, tuna, ponzu sauce, scallions, and soy paper. Overall, the food was fine--nothing special, but it was not bad either. The flavors were decent, but nothing really stood out. The service, however, was great--our waiter checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a fast, casual spot for a quick Japanese meal with family, this place works. If you're after high-quality sushi or standout hibachi flavors, you might want to look elsewhere.
First time here and was hoping to find a new lunch spot. I was very disappointed with my rainbow roll - there was barely any fish (just a sliver of a piece) on the top of each piece. Very expensive for 8 rice bites.
This place is great for a quick dinner!! We ordered the caterpillar roll, orange dragon roll and rainbow roll. They were all delicious and tasted very fresh! We also got the chicken gyoza, which was hot and crispy. The service was very fast and attentive and the ambiance was pretty cool. I like the music - very vibey and overall the restaurant is clean! I will be back.
A coworker brought me here for lunch after hearing me state that there were no good sushi options around for lunch. Yes, I was wrong! This is a small and cozy place located in the heights area. We came during lunch hours on a Friday and it was not packed. My friend highly recommended the veggie roll so we ordered that and the spicy edamame to start. I mean WOW! The veggie roll was amazing. So simple and so delicious! The spicy edamame was missing spice for me but was still very flavorful. For my entrée I ordered the lunch special which came with a roll and a 4 pieces of sashimi. The fish tasted super fresh and just melted in my mouth. I can't remember what I got as far as the roll goes but I just know it was delicious! There was only one server for the whole restaurant and he still managed to be fast and friendly. I'm so grateful to have found this place close by and I will definitely be back!
Great food and great service!! Their sushi was soo fresh. They gave us this miso soup and salad just to start us off it was small but just nice in general. Will be coming back.

I love coming here! The sushi is always cooked fresh and everything tastes wonderful. The spicy edamame was the perfect spice. We got the Orange Dragon, the Citrus Hamachi and the Be Someone. Each had a unique yet delicious taste that it was truly difficult to pick a favorite. The waiter was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I love coming back here! read more

Came here for a late lunch on a Friday and it was pretty empty. Service was quick and our server was friendly. We are from out of my town but have visited Jellyfish many times because my partner absolutely loves the Shaggy Dog rolls. It is his all time favorite ever. We also tried the Hibachi Fried Rice for the first time. It wasn't very flavorful but a little soy sauce goes a long way. The pricing is expensive in my opinion and on par with NY/California prices. However the sushi rolls are good so if you are looking for good sushi selection, I recommend. read more
Strip shopping with plenty of parking. We took the kids and they appreciated the chopstick helpers and the kid's menu. The spicy edamame was delicious, and they had a promo for buy 3 specialty rolls, get one classic. In one of our extra rolls, they were able to substitute out a simple ingredient which made it so my kid would eat it. read more
A family-friendly sushi joint! I thought I'd have to save all our sushi outings for nights when grandma can babysit but thankfully, we found Jellyfish! I brought my 9-month-old and our friend brought his 2.5 year old. They have high chairs as well as a kids menu (it's very cute and even has a little sushi plate). See my photo for the full kids menu. The food was pretty tasty. We tried a few rolls: KPop Salmon, Jellyfish, and the Crazy Irishman. All were good but I really liked the Crazy Irishman. We also tried a few pieces of nigiri: Escolar & Unagi. The Escolar was tasty but the Unagi stole the show. So warm and tender. I order eel pretty much whenever I get sushi and this was terrific and some of the best I've had in recent months! The one tiny disappointment here was the service. Nothing egregious but our waitress was aloof and not very familiar with the menu. I suspect she was new and still training however she seemed a bit too detached. For instance, she took our friend's order and just walked away, completely forgetting the other two people at the table. She also seemed confused when we asked about hand rolls (her response was that everything was a hand roll). Like I said, nothing major but definitely noticeable. It's located in a small strip mall so we didn't have an issue with parking (you might if you come during a busier time). read more

I can't stop coming here, the food is great, the service is prompt, and the ambience is pleasant. I love the variety of rolls they have as well as alternate options for those who don't eat raw fish. I'm stoked this is so close to us! read more
