We had a excellent dinner madori served us! She was very attentive to our table and made sure we were taken care of!

This is such a gem in the heights! Great food, great happy hour and great service no matter what day you come here they do not disappoint! Super unique rolls! Ask for Madorii she's a fantastic waitress! Such a great neighborhood spot! Good for families good for a date night good for even a business dinner! read more

Our first time here, and we were pleased! My wife is a non-fish-eating sushi lover, so we were drawn to the various tofu options. Her favorite item was the Japanese Fried Rice, very savory. The menu overall was quite extensive, and the happy hour options were more diverse than most. The service from Madori was also top-notch. She was very pleasant and attentive without making us feel rushed. The restaurant itself is nice (it's the old "Helen in the Heights" location) with a large open air patio. Unfortunately, some flies thought so too ‍ Overall, a nice early evening outdoor meal! read more

My boyfriend and I went to Sushi by the Heights for our Valentines dinner last night, and it was such a great experience. The ambience is really cool -- stylish decor, great lighting, and a fun but relaxed vibe. We loved the atmosphere. The sushi was very good, and there were several dishes we truly enjoyed. It was honestly hard to narrow it down to just one favorite. To top it off, we tried the fried Japanese donuts and the crème brûlée cheesecake and wow, the cheesecake was absolutely amazing. Between the quality of the food, the beautiful space, and the overall experience, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice evening out. read more

This experience was a scam. Sushi by the Heights sold tickets to a restaurant experience that didn't even have tables for people to sit and enjoy. This was not very well thought out. Don't oversell for the experience just to make money. You don't have enough tables or space to seat people. Very very disappointed with this experience and I won't ever get a ticket for this or even tell people about it. read more

I have been here a few times and typically all the food is timely and tasty. I tend to go for happy hour, I love the variety of option on theirs. Their maki and sashimi are so tasty and my husband loves the gyoza. The robata are a good grilled option as well. I recently tried the oysters, but for some reason there was a major holdup on getting them, so likely will not be getting those again. Our servers have been great and its a nice place without too loud of music (a dislike of mine since I am often out for quality time with friends and family). There is a lot of parking around the side and additional lot. read more

I've often passed by this restaurant going home from work or ate at nearby restaurants, but one night, my friend and I decided to try it for happy hour. The restaurant was empty, so we were seated right away. The ambiance is dark and intimate, and the decor from the artwork and brick wall is lovely but also adds to the dark space. We ordered a few things from the happy hour menu and outside of that. Asparagus - Grilled; simple, straightforward Pork belly - Nicely grilled with the marks. Full of flavor and tender Ribeye - This was cut in strips, so it tasted a little more tough. If it was a whole piece, and we were asked how we wanted it prepared, it would've been better. Seaweed salad - Fresh, traditional flavor Fried rice - It was ok. They packed a lot in the bowl due to the sticky rice texture. Too peppery and overpowered the whole bowl. Vegetable tempura - I liked the variety of veggies and light, crispy batter. Always a fan of veggie tempura. Soft shell crab - Actually never had this before. I don't eat a lot of variety when it comes to seafood, but I do like crab. This crab was breaded nicely and had great flavor. Pleasantly surprised. The Ritz - The salmon and avocado are placed on a Ritz cracker. Interesting take. A little too fishy for me despite the avocado. Maybe if they drizzled some eel sauce or something. Felt like it was missing something. Only comes in 4 pieces. Yakuza roll - Part of the special maki menu. It has crispy spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber topped salmon, spicy mayo, tempura flakes. I tried a couple pieces. Not bad but the flakes get everywhere. Restrooms are clean and even come with some toiletry items and mouthwash. Pretty unique. There's ample parking in the lot nearby. Great place for happy hour or dinner with friends or a date night. Check them out! read more

My boyfriend and I came for HRW and we absolutely loved it. We definitely want to come back to try their regular menu. The crowd on a Friday night was very mixed in terms of vibes, but all very lively! There were some people more casual, some more on lively celebratory vibe, others on a date night, which I loved that there was a mix of. Our server was amazing and she gave great drink recommendations and was super sweet. Food and drinks were super good- they do not hold back on the drinks! The lychee martini was our favorite. There is a parking lot right next to the building which is convenient! Definitely will be coming back to try more things! read more

Me and my plus one popped in Sushi by the Heights last evening ( Saturday night) around 5:30 for my first time in. Right off the top this place was dimly lit and very inviting. We sat at the bar and immediately reached for the happy hour menu as I'd heard that their happy hour options were extensive. Started with the sushi sampler , and while I didn't expect to have any "premium " pieces of sushi included, I was still hoping that the quality wouldn't suffer. Well, this was not the case because the nigiri was not as fresh as it could have been nor was the rice . Got the uni shooters next , along with some shishito peppers. Well the uni shooter had a good pickling liquid , but couldn't taste much uni at all , and the shishito peppers were probably my least favorite order outside of the sushi itself. We moved on to an order of pork belly and tuna tartare which were both nice size portions , but lacked flavor( both were under seasoned)..., Lastly , but what turned out to be the highlight of the meal, were the firecracker shrimp and the ribeye robata, Shrimp were a very flavorful bite that were crispy juiciness with a nice spicy kick and the ribeye strips though tiny were a good medium rare and quite tender. We finished off with the crème brûlée dessert that was also pretty good. Service was also pleasant so I gave an overall 3 stars... read more

My husband and I had frequented the Studewood Cantine and found out it closed! It was fate because late Friday night we were on our usual mission to figure out where to go have dinner and drinks after 10:00 PM with at least a 30-45 minute drive from where we live! We found this amazing sushi place with reverse Happy Hour on Friday's from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM next door to the old Studewood Cantine. We happened to get there right at 11:00, chilled and laid back atmosphere with a DJ playing a good mix of music. The music was perfect where you could vibe and still have a conversation. Mike the bartender was great! We had excellent service throughout the night at the bar. The sushi was great quality and presentation. It's so hard to find good sushi bars that have flavorful spicy tuna or spicy salmon without drowning it in spicy mayo, which I'm not a fan of. The spice was definitely a different heat not spicy mayo. The spice was the perfect level of heat maybe spicy sesame oil, which i added Sriracha for extra heat because I love extra spicy. The reverse HH prices were extremely reasonable and well worth it. We got to meet the GM, Jacob who was checking on us. He was super chill and nice and we chatted with him for awhile telling him we'll be back this Friday! If you're looking for a great late night sushi place with reverse Happy Hour this is the place! See you guys on Friday! read more

Located in the heights, this restaurant is at the first floor of a multipurpose building. I was afraid that parking would be difficult but they have their own private lot right across the street. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating available, and it was packed inside. I ordered the by the heights, sex on the moon, green dragon, and the dirty young girl rolls. I also ordered the tuna tartare and got their crispy calamari for free since they had an offer of a free app if you are following them on Instagram. The chef also came out and explained every dish we got to us. For many of the rolls, they place half the rolls in kimchee dressing and the other half in sesame oil. The Kimchee dressing makes the rolls taste more fresher but I liked the sesame oil more, as it provided more pop in the flavor with some aroma in it. My favorite roll was the dirty young girl roll but specifically the half with baked crab and masago. Just think of baked green mussels but in crab form, on top of a sushi roll. The other half with the chopped tuna was ok, the tuna had a nice texture but it was bland. My next favorite roll was their signature by the heights roll. The sex on the moon roll kind of had a little too much going on for me. As for the apps, the tuna tartare was similar to the roll where the tuna was a little bland. I liked how it came with seaweed salad and avocado though. The crispy calamari was solid as well, but it could've been crispier. Overall, service was pretty good but I did wait awhile to get my bill. I saw someone order the tsunami roll which came with a whole lobster tail tempura so I would like to try both that and their soft shell crab next time. The bathroom was really nice with amenities like mouth wash, lotion, and floss. They even had a secret room where they also do omakase. read more

Food was great. I had pork belly and the Fried Rice and my GF had the JACOS (Japanese Tacos) Madori did a great job as our server!!!! Will be going back soon. read more

I had a great experience. The food was excellent and I definitely recommend the Judgement. Also, our server, Madori, was amazing!

Always drove by, but never stopped in... until recently. This spot is more of your trendy, not sushi restaurant feel inside (compared to your typical sushi restaurant), but that was okay with me! We were greeted and sat promptly. Unfortunately it was a quick dinner so no drinks, but the staff was always quick to refill our drinks. Had a small side salad, miso soup, and 2 sushi rolls. It all came out quickly and was super delicious. While there were only a handful of table sat when we were in, several staff members checked on us. Which tells me while it's slow, they aren't just sitting around but really helping each other out. I can't wait to go back when I have more time to enjoy a bottle of wine and just relax and enjoy my sushi and evening. read more

It you are looking for a spot that is good for a date or a cute outing with the family, the inside vibes provide that. This place is cute and cozy and has live music on Wednesday so check it out. Overall, i didn't have the best experience so I highly doubt I would return or mention this place to anyone to try. The calamari was big in size but very hard to chew. The shrimp fried rice had a lot of seasonings and flavor but lack actual shrimp. The small shrimp pieces didn't make up enough to actually count as shrimp fried rice. I also ordered the dragon roll and it wasn't nothing memorable without the spicy mayo. The sushi was just sushi. The major turn off for me was the service. There seem to be only one waitress and she initially skipped over us, even though everyone was sitting on the same row. The waitress seemed to be more comfortable speaking Spanish to ladies besides us. The waitress forgot our order after repeating it back to us and have the electronic keypad in her hand. The waitress wasn't attentive and really didn't highlight any menu items. read more

I see that they may have reasonable prices for halls hour, but on my experience for dinner prices are very pricey. Upscale experience. Food is delicious. If you're really into sushi I'd go here. They are connected to another bar on the other side of the building but was not my cup of tea environment. read more

I can't say enough good things about sushi by the heights. I'm a super fan and have been for a few years now. Impeccable service, top tier sushi that's some of the freshest I've had in Houston.

Very fresh and good quality. The spicy salmon roll had an extra flavor I haven't had before that I loved. I do think the soba noodles needed more flavor but the chili garlic crisp was tasty. It was pretty empty in there the day after Christmas which is expected but it made for a cute date day read more

the food was great. the sushi was good. the donut delicious. thanks to Madori for being my server !

So far our favorite sushi place in the heights! Parking was a bit confusing as a first timer, but there's a lot you can park in to the right before turning in. The restaurant itself was clean and had perfect date night ambiance with dim lighting. We ordered the dinner for 2 with miso soup, gyoza, and cheesecake crème brûlée. The waitstaff were all super quick and nice. We got frequent refills as well. The sushi was one of the freshest I've had in a while here. The miso soup was a classic and the crème brûlée helped with the dinner cravings after all the entrees. We got the dinner for 2 and were surprised with the presentation and quantity- we felt it was very good for its value. Everything was super fresh and the gyozas you can tell were handcrafted. We definitely would come again! read more

Japanese jazz would be soooo much better. read more

Long overdue review, by my recent re-visit reminded me I need to show some 5-star love to Sushi By The Heights. First, let me say that it saddended me to see such a great sushi restaurant - food, service, atmosphere - incredibly empty on a Tuesday night. So hoping this review will urge many of you to check them out... + So, their dine-in happy hour. It's available DAILY 3-7pm. Yes, daily. And yes, until 7pm. (Not 6, like many other restos. I'm a "deskie" who works until 6-ish). They offer more than 30 food items on their HH menu + drink discounts. + Lunch menu and specials offered Mon-Fri 11am-3pm, featuring $16-20 lunch bento specials. + They have a $35 steak night on Tuesday and Wednesday. + They also have a small patio. For happy hour, we got two of the $9 soft shell crab (one of their best sellers); $5 spicy edamame (huge!); $14 The Ritz (spicy salmon, avocado, crispy masago, micro cilantro); $13 spicy tuna tartare (kimchee glazed, soy, miso, scallions, tobiko, avocado, chips); $14 nine-piece sashimi sampler (salmon, tuna, yellow); $16 deconstructed Osaka sushi (scottish salmon, ginger, umami mayo, avocado, serrano, tobiko, crispy masago, micro cilantro); two uni shooters at $11 ea (sake, ponzu, quail egg, togarashi, scallion, tobiko); $16 tuna tataki (wakame, scallion, ponzu, garlic oil, sesame seeds)... and drinks... needless to say, we didn't leave hungry. Oh - and dessert! Creme bruelee cheesecake. Yesss... Cocktails I rec are the yuzu-based "mezcal me up" and their espresso martini. They have a great espresso machine that makes a quality cocktail. Takeout seems to be poppin' there. It was a revolving door of delivery drivers and locals picking up meals. read more
