    This place is UNREAL. What a spot. Melts in your mouth good food. I'm grateful I was able to try this spot. This is a MUST try spot for sushi lovers.

    This was my 3rd time visiting Sushi Miyagi, and as expected, there was already a line out the door before the shop even opened. Since it's literally run by a mom and pop, the hours are limited compared to other sushi places; thus, I only make a visit once in a blue moon. The decor is a bit run-down, but I find it quite charming and cozy! There are only about 7 tables, so only a limited number of customers are permitted. The prices are higher, but given how labor intensive it is for ONE man to prepare the food, it makes sense. I came with a friend to celebrate our birthday month, and even though we had been waiting since 11:45 AM, we weren't seated until 1 PM and weren't able to eat our meal until 2 PM. Nonetheless, the wife serving us (and everyone else) was still very sweet and did her best to keep up with all the tables. :) I ordered: - Spicy Scallop Maki (5/5): pretty safe, the spice is subtle, but you can't go wrong with ordering it. - Houston Maki (3/5): I was a bit let down. The chef was very generous with the slab of salmon, which I appreciate; I do think he skimped out on the spicy mayo, so the avocado + salmon sashimi combo felt mushy in texture. Dipping it in soy sauce did help, though! My friend ordered: - White Spider Maki (2/5): Not a fan of wasabi whatsoever, and they put wasabi tobiko through the crevices of the sushi roll; my friend didn't realize this, so when he dipped it in his wasabi soy sauce, it was a lot for him to handle, to say the least... - Dragon Maki (4.5/5): I don't usually eat eel for sushi, but I enjoyed this roll a lot and it pairs surprisingly well with sweet potato. This was my first time waiting long hours, which dampened my experience a bit; the concept of an elderly couple running a sushi restaurant is cute, but I think they'd benefit from having at least one more worker helping with taking orders/serving food, or cleaning dishes, etc. The quality of their sushi is up there, but I recommend that others come as early as possible and have A LOT of patience + time to kill. Sushi Miyagi is a very cute mom & pop shop with several unexplored options, so I will continue supporting, but it's not a business I would frequent often.

    This is my all time fave spot in Houston. It's a literal mom and pop place, with pop making sushi and mom serving and making everything else. It's also quite unique with eclectic decor and music. It definitely reminds me of if my parents would start a restaurant: kind of doing what they want but that having its own charm. The sushi is the best in town, especially for the price range. I never can seem to finish--the portions are quite generous, especially for the price. It's also super fresh and tasty. Service is slow--we got in at 12:30, seated at 1:00 and didn't get our food until 2:00. Patience is a virtue at Miyagi sushi, and well worth the wait. The staff are always kind, and helpful.

    Despite the rise of vibe dining omakase spots, the sushi scene in Houston is still limited and the Japanese-owned demographic is virtually nil. Sushi Miyagi has been the exception to the norm and is run by a sweet older Japanese couple that add to the charm of what might be Houston's least pretentious sushi spot. Located on the Vietnamese side of Bellaire Asiatown, Sushi Miyagi is about as easy to miss as any business in this nondescript plaza. Had it not been for a friend's urging, I probably would have never made it here. Due to limited hours, lunch time is practically the only time one can eat here. It is also incredibly popular and wait times are expected. This is not a group friendly experience, but more of a small group or lunch date kind of space. It is dingy and dated, but the service and food more than makes up for it. It is worth repeating that there is nothing fancy here. The older Japanese gentleman is typically cooking and cutting all the fish. The cuts of which I've had have been excellent, with thick slabs of quality fish. Their charashi bowl was an excellent choice, but the omakase really gave them a chance to shine and it was outstanding all around. Unlike the counterside, course by course, trendy omakase experience that most people are used to, mine was all made and served on a single plate. $65 later, I'm full and extremely satisfied. The highlights were the hamachi yellow tail and foodgasm worthy toro tuna belly. It was a perfect variety of what they had to offer and would highly recommend it for anyone who is serious about their fish. The older lady serving everyone is such a gem. She is constantly smiling and doing her best to make sure everyone is tended to. Parking is never going to be an issue and I hope they stay continue to run this excellent business for as long as time permits. Given how little recognition they, it would be safe to say this is one of the most underrated places in all of Houston.

    It's like visiting grandma's house.... When grandma is an amazing chef and you know the wait is worth it. Don't come if you're in a rush. Food is amazing. Actually, don't come. It's hard enough getting a table as it is.

    Best little straightforward sushi spot to satisfy my sushi cravings. I haven't had miso soup like how this place makes theirs - SO good, umami, and flavorful, but have heard it can be a tad salty for some people. I ordered the assorted sushi from the main menu. It comes with 3 of each thick cuts of tuna, salmon, and hamachi nigiri. I thought there was a little bit too much wasabi between the fish and rice, coming from a person who enjoys a little spice. The salmon bowl is as advertised - several pieces of fatty salmon with pickled radish over a bed of rice. Some may think rice ratio is too much, but I think it's needed to cut through the richness of the fish.

    This is a mom & pop shop. So the ambiance is homey. The husband and wife duo is very sweet. Love the instrumental music playing - you can see the chef in his groove when he into the music and making the sushi! With just the two of them, patience is needed with their service. However, I believe their food is worth the wait. (I also admire their work ethic) . I would normally line up before they open to get a spot. Please make sure you wait and get the ok to be seated. Ordering To-Go doesn't mean you cut the line also. I've tried a good amount of food on their menu and I've thought it was money well spent. Also their cuts for the rolls are big.

    I've run across this restaurant on yelp multiple times and finally decided to give it a try. First impressions of the restaurant front is not the best since it looks kind of run down, but after entering you can see it was a very cozy hole in the wall restaurant with limited seats ran by a very hard working people. You can literally see them pacing to make the food, take order, and clean the tables. The food was good even with me having to self seat myself at the beginning.

    Finally had a day off to try this hole in the wall weird hour sushi spot!! And it did not disappoint the portion sizes are HUGEEEE! The chopped scallop was sooo thick and full of scallop and look at that thick slice of yellow tail! Between that and the chirashi bowl I was actually stuffed! The sizes and bowl were so good can't wait for my next day off!

    Nut allergies: No nuts in sushi, of course. The advice to get here early is no joke. We actually got here at 11 on a Saturday and there was no line, so we walked over to another plaza for a bit. When we came back by 11:30, there were already three groups in line! We got one of the last tables. The wait if you arrive late is 90-100 minutes, so I'd try to get here at 1pm or 2pm if you miss the opening wait and hope that others have been dissuaded. The first table opened up at 1:10PM and people were definitely waiting. If you're in for an intimate experience with a long meal with friends with amazing sushi while listening to Ocarina of Time music, this is the place to be. A little hidden gem in a side of Bellaire that isn't often frequented, Sushi Miyagi is run by an elderly Japanese couple that only opens a few hours a day. You can really tell how much care goes into the food here, as tea is even served at a very reasonable price ($1 for hot tea with a full kettle to refill!) For a group of 5, we ordered the Sashimi for 2, Maki for 2, and a lunch rice curry special. The sashimi for 2 was so big that we thought they combined both our orders into one! The lunch rice curry was enough for five people to have 3-4 bites each. The sashimi was absolutely stellar - large pieces that are sliced perfectly against grains to still be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The pickled Mackerel may have changed my whole perspective on Mackerel - extremely fatty and very flavorful! Other highlights were the chopped scallops and eel. Came out at just under $50 after tax and tip and our group left stuffed! We left around 1:35PM. I'd love to come back when I want an intimate sushi experience and the weather isn't too hot to wait outside.

    Decent sushi for the price. I love the chopped scallop nigiri and the rolls. The sashimi lunch set is great value. We also got a chirashi bowl but I wouldnt prder it here next time. I would say Hokkaido sushi chirashi is a better value lol Please only come here if you have time to kill. Service may be slow because husband is the only chef and wife is the only waitress. They provide great customer service so please be patient .

    Delicious, cheap sushi with a quaint atmosphere. The service was so delightful. Would come back! In the photo: (not in order!) Spicy salmon Crazy maki Shaggy maki Alaska maki

    Jenny Q.

    Come early! Sometimes people wait about 30 mins before they open because tables fill up fast. Mr and Mrs miyagi are super kind and always on the move to serve customers as fast as they can. It is absolutely worth the wait to eat here and I've recommended it to all my friends. I always come here for our anniversary. The pieces are HUGE and the quality reminds me of sushi from Japan. MUST TRY the agedashi tofu, soba noodles, Japanese curry over rice, crispy salmon salad and the sushi of course. Who am I kidding, everything is good here LOL Parking is in a plaza. I can't sing enough praise about this spot!

    Are they on vacation? I tried to call but it went straight to voicemail.

    This place is quite "unique". Too busy husband wife team. No way time to pick up the phone. Doubtful accept phone orders. It's an in person be super patient experience that is worth the wait. Amazing sushi.

    Has Sushi Miyagi resumed dine in service yet?

    Only to-go orders now. No phone orders. Please come in and order. Thank you!

They do give you a menu while you wait so that you're ready to order once inside. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but it kind of felt like japan in a way.

They asked me what spicy level I wanted medium or hot, I asked the waitress how spicy is it and she responded with "i think you'll like the hot one" so i said okay! Once the ramen came out the other waitress said "Oh nice goodluck" and in that moment i knew i was done for LOL. This ramen was very delicious but oh my god I was in tears with how spicy it was. I couldn't even put a dent in it before I had to tap out. My husband tried trading with me but he couldn't handle the spicy either. I would get this again but in medium spice level! Would not recommend the hot unless you can handle eating ghost peppers and stuff lol 8/10 My husband got Wagyu Texas BBQ Tantanmen with duck. That was really tasty. The broth on it was so good, especially when mixed with my spicy broth. 9/10 Lastly the matcha cheesecake, i loved this so much. It had the perfect amount of matcha and it was so creamy and delicious. The portion is tiny but would definitely recommend. Could've ate like 20 of them in one sitting, thats how good it was. 10/10 Overall: 9/10, we will be back to try the other ramens!

We were taken inside to be seated within 5 minutes. It's a small space, but I'm sure it's to give an authentic Japanese vibe. The menu includes many different varieties of ramen from traditional pork to vegan. The appetizers are not to be missed. We had the enoki chips and wagyu on rice. Yum. I ordered the wagyu beef ramen special without the pork sauce and my friend ordered the garlic knock out. The Wagyu ramen was so incredibly delicious with a deep umami flavor..... I polished off the entire bowl knowing I'd be extremely uncomfortable afterwards... the Wagyu was so tender and buttery. Amazing. Will definitely keep coming back

The menu was quite expansive but cohesive with Italian/ Asian fusion. I got seated and immediately was given a menu and cold water in a stainless steel cup. I ordered the sliced beef udon soup version (there's also an option for stirfy) but granted, today was cloudy and slightly windy so it called for soup. After placing my order, I was given the proper utensils and shortly after, a large piping bowl was placed in front of me! Flavor was good and the sliced beef was addicting.. the portion was a bit much for lunch to me so I had to ask for togo and the waitress came out and put it away for me in a custom togo bag that sealed so that was fun to leave with. The waitress was certainly very tentative and made sure other guests had their waters filled at all times so I'd love to come back to try out their other menu items like their omurice or their lobster creamy rice.
