I come here more often then i would like to admit. It's my favorite sushi restaurant in the city. Always great service and their food is always on point. inside and outside seating. This place has great ambience. read more

Came here last week with some friends and so glad I did! The place is very nice both inside and outside and has plenty of outdoor seating. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but we were able to grab spots a block away. There were very few people inside so we were able to sit probably 15-20 feet away from others. The food and drinks here are amazing, though they are rather pricey. I got a drink (I don't remember the name, but it was fruity and had citrus zest in it), the lobster roll, and spicy edamame. My meal ended up around $45 after tip. The lobster roll and drink were amazing, but I would pass on the edamame ($7) next time. My friends enjoyed their food a lot too. Overall, we felt that this restaurant stood out in the combination of ingredients and flavors that it used in its dishes and had a slight Japanese-fusion vibe that we really liked. Can't wait to return! read more

I made a reservation for Valentine's day and arrived 10 minutes early. Immediately, i was met with hostility from the hostess. She said we can't be seated. No problem, i waited at the bar. I walked near the host counter since it was now after my reservation time. The hostess summoned me over with her finger and said with attitude, "We have no tables available, but we have bar seating." I replied, "l made a reservation for a table and i know it's a busy night, I don't mind waiting." (Maybe i was too nice) I pulled out my phone to see my open table reservation and in front of 12 people also waiting to be seated, she uttered, "don't have a panic attack." i looked up and around. everyone was confused. I responded, "panic attack? i'm totally fine" Instead of leaving it there She continued, "you look like you're going to cry. your eyes are shimmery" What? Baffled, uncomfortable, and honestly confused. she then tried to blame us for coming early and only having bar seating at the time. I have NEVER been met with such unprofessionalism from a person in the SERVICE industry before. I highly encourage management to teach her courtesy and etiquette. I want to give a big shout out our waiter who has only been there for 3 nights, he was so great and suggested plates for us (apologies for not getting your name) Besides the ill mannered hostess that put us in an extremely uncomfortable position on Valentine's day nonetheless, the food and service were great! read more

Service was fantastic. Thanks Andrew and staff. It was one of those perfect service experiences you hope for at a restaurant - no hovering but someone was always right there when we needed something. We ordered off both the Happy hour menu and the regular menu. Asked our waiter Andrew for recs and he said the Midtown was the best and he was totally right! We are sushi snobs and it was one of the best rolls I have ever had. Beautiful and delicious. The spicy edamame were so good but they were very spicy so if you don't like spice (we do) get the regular. Also the Brussels sprouts were amazing!!! Crème Brule was good - with crusted top, cold type (room temp) and soo good. Also the inside has so many great seating options. We loved the booth - but there were also bar seats with great multiple TVs (game was on), big tables for bigger parties and nice large outdoor area. Oh and we always gauge our sushi favorites on the miso. The Fish had great miso! We had multiple servings. We will def be back. Huge thanks to our server Andrew! read more

Delicious wings. Flavorful but only drumsticks. The crab fried rice is best I've had in while and went well with the wings. I liked the crab/lobster appetizer roll but it was too rich to finish. The sauce did compliment it well. The lobster sushi roll wasn't great and I will likely avoid their rolls in the future. The lobster on the roll didn't taste like lobster and tasted like it was katsu fried. The BBQ ribs were a bit too chewy for my liking and the sauce was a bit too smokey for my liking. The crab soup was good. It's a clear Broth and not creamy which is nice for those wanting soup without all the dairy. I had a lovely time and would return and recommend to others. Parking is terrible though so I'm not sure how frequently i will be here. The customer service was really nice though. read more

This place was pretty busy for a Thursday night, especially amid COVID. Nice server and ambience. Our group of three probably all enjoyed the Eighth Wonder seafood tower the best- Really good quality ingredients. The Rocket Combo was probably a bit overpriced for the portion of food-my favorite of the three was the dynamite shrimp. We split one roll which was superb - the Black Widow. Worth a stop. read more

This place is really good. The location in Midtown is perfect. I went in with my Kid last night, Ally was our server. She was on top of things and very friendly to chat with. Sorry for lack of pics...we were too busy eating cause it was so good and we could not take a break. Prices are not bad, but a little steep but what is not these days! I'd come here again.

Favorite restaurant in Houston. This is our go-to for special occasions. Lobster rolls are amazing!

I came here on a Monday night and it was relatively not busy. The seating was distant and I enjoyed how the street parking was free after 6PM. Given the area, it's a hassle to try to find parking and then having to pay, but this was not the case. I had truffle fries that had a really nice twist because of the furikake seasoning on it. Very well done. My friend said he couldn't taste much truffle but I could taste some on top. The calamari was great! Now that I think about it, I should've asked for a second lime to squeeze over the calamari for more citrus. But it was fine the way it was. I also had the spicy edamame and this was a good as well! I love the grilled onions as it added a flavor that I wasn't use to having. My rolls are not pictured as I was way too hungry. I received The Fish, Godzilla, and the Shoi. All of these were excellent but nothing mind blowing. I will have to go back and try some more. I had one of the signature cocktails, an old fashioned and my friend had a lychee martini. I would've liked my old fashioned to have not been so sweet, but if you enjoy a sweeter old fashioned, perhaps this may be the one for you. The lychee martini was also on the sweeter side and I would've liked to have it not as sweet, however, my friend really enjoyed it. When I return, I'll be asking for less sweet on my drinks. My server Ron was very attentive and offered some good recommendations. I appreciate his service and would not mind coming back. read more

Tonight we ordered delivery. The driver/someone missed some of our order. The manager delivered right away. I'm so surprised, no argument, no angry words, just let me deliver. I cannot say enough nice words after this. We have been eating there or ordering. After 13 years these people are just wonderful and their food is unbelievable. My guess tonight loved the Godzilla roll and all the zippy stuff. These people deserve your business. If you don't like spicy, dynamite shrimp and lobster crab puffs (my wife's favorites). Better is everything you want with nice people and bending over backwards to serve you correctly. read more

What an absolutely wonderful experience. The restaurant is located in midtown amongst various other restaurants and businesses. Street parking was plentiful. I was greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant with welcoming smiles and seated immediately. The team quickly brought over waters and the server came over shortly after to introduce herself. Alexandria was very attentive and knowledgeable. We decided on the Lychee Martini and the beverages came out quickly and were well crafted. For a starter we enjoyed the edamame. For the main course, I highly recommend the Volcano and the crab fried rice! Absolutely everything was delicious and I look forward to returning! read more

Very good sushi! The rolls were unique and fresh and well stacked. They don't cheap out on the quantity here! I also recommend the spicy edamame, which was delicious. I also like that they offer outdoor seating, for those rare "nice" days in Houston. One downside though: they don't offer HH anymore. I hope they bring that back soon! read more

Came here for a Friday lunch. This was my first stop in Houston and did not disappoint! You have to be seated by the hostess, and my best friend and I decided to sit outside. They have outdoor seating that's really good for people watching. The menu is extensive and has a ton of options. We started with edamame which was really tasty. I had the Midtown roll and my friend had some sort of shrimp roll under the specialty rolls. I also had the crab and corn soup. SO good and so much lump crab. Our waiter was really nice and was just attentive enough. I'd come back here! read more

Love the vibe of this place and it's perfect for any occasion. It's walking distance from other restaurants and small shops with mostly street parking. I recently made a 15 person reservation for a birthday and they were very accommodating. The service was prompt, waiter was nice and gave recommendations, water and drinks were always kept full. Good selection of signature rolls. Everyone loved the lychee sake and cocktails too. They were also willing to separate checks in a large party. Will be back again. read more

The Fish is in Midtown on the corner of Gray and Baldwin Street. I have been enjoying The Fish for some time now and I have to say it is one of my very favorite Sushi Bars in our great city. I must admit, I am a sucker for fresh Sushi and a steady flow of Saki! Ha! Seriously. At The Fish I am right at home. Right when you walk through the door you can feel that cool Midtown vibe. I enjoy sitting at the bar with friends, or when I am with that special someone a table by the window does the trick. There is also a real nice Sushi Bar which is great... an amazing way to be entertained while anticipating your lovely meal. As you probably already know, I always try several different menu items to get a true feel for a restaurant. At this point, I have enjoyed most everything on the menu. On my latest adventure we decided on the Edamame, Buffalo Chicken Wontons, Calamari, Japanese Crudo, Kobe Hot Rock, Eighth Wonder, Blazing Tuna Roll, GYU Filet Mignon, Nando Roll, a Mix Plate of Sushi and for dessert we decided to try the Crème Brulee and the Cheesecake Tempura. While everything was phenomenal, my two favorite menu items were the Kobe Hot Rock and the Eighth Wonder. The Kobe Hot Rock is a delightful dish which consists of Waygu Beef, Ginger Soy and Basil Ponzu. I love the Waygu Beef... it's just a little different, a little better. Another thing to note is you get to cook it yourself at the table. This entrée is served in thin slices along with an extremely hot rock. You simply grab your chop sticks, lay the Waygu Beef on the rock and listen to it sizzle until it's cooked just the way you like it. I cooked mine to perfection and as soon as I tasted it, I instantly had a smile from ear to ear. You must try this dish when you visit The Fish. My other favorite menu item from The Fish was an appetizer by the name of The Eighth Wonder. No wonder the Eighth Wonder is named just that. The towering colossal of seafood is built layer by layer with Spicy Rice, Avocado, Spicy Tuna, Snow Crab, Chopped Scallops, Habanero Masago, Wasabi Tobiko and scooped up with Wonton Chips. Not only is the appetizer one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, but delicious doesn't even do it justice. Every layer is better than the last. I have been known to order it at the bar as a meal... and let's just say I haven't ever been disappointed. I do highly recommend. Whether you are looking for a wonderful lunch, exciting happy hour or a romantic dinner with your loved one, The Fish in Midtown is the perfect place to experience all three. The staff is super friendly and dedicated to making sure your visit is special, and for that guys... I thank you! read more

I came here a couple years ago and decided it was my favorite sushi place in Houston. I came back last night and it was nothing how I remembered. My friends and I had a reservation for 8 and got seated at 8. After 12 minutes of not getting greeted, we had to ask a nearby server for some water. When our server finally greeted us, she took our orders and that was that. She was not very attentive and we felt like we were being neglected simply because we've been profiled as college students who don't tip well. I'm a server as well and I think service can really make or break someone's dining experience. On another note, MY food was really good. I got The Fish, Midtown and Poseidon Roll. ALL were really delicious and presentation was amazing. I was reading other yelpers and my mouth was watering at all their pictures. My friend got the Surf and Turf roll with the Kobe Beef and Lobster. She said the beef was good but the lobster tasted weird, so I'll leave an update if she got stomach problems afterwards. Overall wasn't the greatest dining experience we could've had and after asking all my friends if they'd return, I was the only one to say I would come back to try other rolls. There were a total of 4 people in my party and 2 stars would've been the average but I honestly didn't have THAT bad of an experience so I threw in another star. I would say try it out for yourself because MY food was quite tasty. Hopeful yall don't have the same server we got! read more

We stopped by here late-ish Saturday Night, as we weren't too eager to settle on Ones A Meal and whatever other late night fare we poorly attempted to brainstorm up. We were also looking to keep it somewhat healthy so sushi seemed like a pretty suitable choice. How to describe the ambiance and decor? Perhaps, business casual? The weekends here are less than apropos to "just relax." As touched upon by other reviews, this restaurant can be more likened to a lounge. It was dark with mordern embellishments, lithe waitresses slinking about . . . We ordered a couple of alcoholic beverages, appetizers, and salad and sushi rolls. I recall everything being pretty unmemorable. Edamame is pretty much reliably the same everywhere, I would assume. I had the vegetable roll and it was roe-free (yay) and nicely concocted but on the meager side. My friends were all pretty okay with their orders, but no raves were issued. The service was somewhat lagging, hence the two stars (and the mehhh food). I suppose it was moderately busy, but nothing too overwhelming so it was a tad irksome that we waited around longer than we wished to. It seems the Happy Hour is the highlight so I may consider returning here one day for that and that alone. The food - incredibly mehhh, can do without! read more

So I found this sushi place here on yelp . I decided to try it out due to the reverse happy hour and they're open till midnight so I could stop by get some reasonable sushi before I ventured to work . Upon calling I asked if they're doing the reverse happy hour tonight as advertised?..."No" the voice on the phone said ...and nothing else lol in my head I'm not sure if it's due to COVID or if the menus are just old or just something special about this particular Thursday . Anyways I ordered salmon Ikura Japanese snapper and sweet shrimp . Now what I do like. I'd they take the shell all the way off of the sweet shrimp so there's nothing to Russell with lol the food was correct and ready upon arrival I will be trying this place out again and hopefully get down to the bottom of the happy hour situation read more

This Fish is located in Midtown. So my friend suggested this place. Came here in group of 4. I ordered the Shio Roll and the M&M roll and a Salmon Nigiri and the crème puff. I also tried a piece of the Wagyu beef on stone rock. The Wagyu beef was quite good and it goes well with the 2 sauces that was provided. The Shio roll and M&M are good. The salmon nigiri was a wow that is for sure. Crème puff was not bad. I thought they would use real crab meat and not imitation crab meat. Oh well. Service was not bad. I really enjoyed my dinner here. My first impression walking through the door was the smell. It smelled like a legit Japanese restaurant which it was a legit Jap restaurant. The décor was nice. I really like the fish tank behind the sushi chef. Also note happy hours ends at 7pm. So if you come before that time, you can grab yourself a house wine for $5 which was not bad. Its located on a block where there are lots of good restaurants. read more

I ordered the Salmon Kama, tempura shrimp roll, lobster and crab puff. All were very delicious I also tried the calamari, blue crab fried rice, firecracker shrimp, pork gyoza, spicy tuna roll, and truffle fries. I enjoyed everything at the table. And the service was pretty great I will definitely be back again! Great for Happy hour! read more

My second time here and all have been for their reverse happy hour. Their prices on drinks are pretty affordable. We ordered a few rounds of sake bombs. Chicken wings was a little on the salty side. The buttermilk ranch was okay. Being an Asian restaurant, it would be nice if they had wings with some Asian flavoring. The sushi was good, no complaints about it. I recommend their Calamari for appetizer. Their Shoi roll was my favorite which we ordered as non fried option and their nigiri rolls like the peppercorn tuna and albacore were solid. Our server Bobby was great and really made our visit a memorable one. This place so far has been one of my favorites for happy hour whenever I'm in the Houston area. It's also located in a hip area surrounded by the nightlife scenery and other culinary spots. read more

Reviewing as a vegetarian. Went here on a whim with some friends to try it for the first time. I got miso soup, vegetarian rolls (add cream cheese) and spicy edamame . The service was fantastic. The drink menu was extensive and had a ton of great cocktails. I also asked for a side of spicy Mayo that was a little different than the standard spicy Mayo, it was great. Unfortunately as a vegetarian, the sushi options are limited compared to most other places in the loop. Everything was pretty good but not exceptional and also marked up to "midtown" prices. We likely won't be back unless it's convenient. read more

Probably the worst sushi restaurant I have ever been to in my life. It started with us being ignored and then when we had to physically get up and ask the hostess they said we didn't even have a server assigned to our table. The mood of the restaurant was so horrific, there was "bottle service" in a sushi restaurant. wow. I felt like I was at a club I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. I could not even hear myself think. The hostess was completely rude to me when I flagged her down for a SPOON because our server was taking shots with the table behind us. The food was trash, probably more trash than the service. It tasted like shit from a butt. The salmon was sweaty and warm, horrible quality. I was better off getting raw fish from the dollar tree. The only thing that was good was the pre packaged seaweed salad. I wish this place only worst enemy. I will NEVER be back. read more

This place is conveniently located in Midtown. I stopped in for lunch and ordered Combo E off the lunch menu. It consisted of 3 handrolls: California, Spicy Tuna, and Salmon Skin. It also came with a house salad. I really enjoyed the house salad. As for the handrolls, not so much. The seaweed sheets used for the handrolls were chewy and the handrolls were not tightly rolled. The carrots in them were also hard and I was not able to eat them. Overall, I enjoyed the house salad more than I did the sushi. The customer service was great and my server was very attentive. The lunch special menu offered decent prices but the listed regular/dinner menu prices were a little high. For those prices, I'd rather go to Soma or Kata Robata and eat better quality sushi. read more

Great spot for sushi! This place is so hip, and trendy. It's great for date night, although it can get pretty loud inside during the weekend. The location is just walking distance from other bars, so it's easy to have dinner and walk over to a different place. For an appetizer I recommend the beef ribeye rolls, which is thinly sliced meat rolled with an avocado inside topped with teriyaki sauce. So delicious! Also recommend dynamite shrimp. They also have reverse happy hour specials which include a short (but good) food menu. The sushi is great, I have not had a disappointing roll. Definitely would recommend this place! read more
