I’m from Tokyo and I think I have to say I found my new favourite Japanese restaurant in Houston! The food was so good! The fish so fresh and high quality and the service was wonderful too!

Our first time at the restaurant although regulars at three other Japanese restaurants in Houston. We sat at the sushi bar, which we liked as there was no barrier between the chefs and the diners. We ordered three starters, the Kanpachi and Hamachi dishes were excellent. We followed with the chef’s choice Sashimi which was very good but lacked variation (the usual tuna, salmon etc.). Good wine list and sake options. We will add the restaurant to our three current favorites. We thought the restaurant layout, tables and chairs were good. Service was attentive but no over bearing.

We sat at the sushi bar, which has a very nice experience. The service there is immaculate, and the sushi chefs are l fun to watch because of their amazing preparation. Food was so good, I can’t wait to go back and try more items. We ordered the snow crab tempura roll, the spicy tuna roll, the spicy tuna avocado ball, and some pieces of sashimi. Surprisingly, the snow crab tempura was my favorite role, even though it was cooked. Doesn’t look like you can go wrong with anything there.

MF continues to be head and shoulders above the rest in terms of sushi and related cuisine. Their flavors and use of ingredients is fantastic. And the staff is sharp and courteous. Ryan in mgmt is awesome. Recommend any of the wagyu dishes and the toro if available. Fantastic experience.

Vegetarian options minimal. Gluten-free/sensitive options also minimal. This is not NOBU, strictly a top sushi spot. Veggie rolls were ok, limited vegetable options of cucumber and avocado. Server was engaging and attentive, warm welcome by hostess, and love the view of the Sushi Chefs working their magic.

Drinks: I found the majority of the mixed drinks to be too sweet. They do appear to have a decent selection of Japanese sake and whiskey although most of the sake is by the bottle rather than the glass. Food: Mostly a combination of bar appetizers (the hamachi appetizer was delicious as were the avocado balls), and then sushi (inc rolls) and robata. There are some very interesting twists on traditional nigiri sushi and the wagyu stuffed shishito peppers are a repeat favorite. They have a nice variety of sushi as well as some vegetarian options such as gobo root which aren't commonly seen. The omakase course is only done on certain days of the week and requires a reservation. Someday I will go back for the robota which smelled delicious. Ambience: I've gone here in the late afternoon as well as weekend dinner time. The ambience is modern and somewhat subdued. There is an area that can accommodate larger groups but for the most part this seems like a quiet date night place for those with refined tastes and a larger pocketbook. The service is always polite, the food comes out quickly so you could easily do something similar to a tapas style meal and order as you go.

Some of the best nigiri I've had in the city, and I've had a LOT of nigiri in this city. Extremely professional staff. Our server was outstanding and went above and beyond. If you love sushi, and I mean REALLY love sushi, then I would highly recommend this restaurant. You get what you pay for, and MF is of the highest quality possible.

After reading several recent reviews of MF Sushi, we were hoping to get our socks knocked off ... they were not. Unfortunately, MF Sushi simply should not be listed as the best sushi in Houston by the Chronicle... it is not. Yes, the fish is high quality, but the portions are among the smallest I have ever encountered. We tried the dishes that were recommended by previous reviewers including truffle king salmon, baked lobster, yellowtail collar, and many of the signature nigiris. I have to say the baby barracuda, kamasu, and the king salmon appetizer were outstanding albeit undersized. We ordered items that weren't sent to the kitchen, the delivery of the food did not come in a logical order, nor were the items paced well. We have been to 7 of the supposed top 10 restaurants in Houston in the past few months and we won't return to 5 of them, including MF Sushi. There are too many better options out there.

This was a 10/10 experience once again. This is hands down the best sushi spot in Houston. The drinks are amazing and the sushi is to die for, the service was excellent. I was treated with respect by everyone, they went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of. Please stop by here!!

I ate there last night and our waitress really just did not have it. One member of my party ordered hot tea and when it was delivered to the table there was no sugar or sweet and low. By the time we could find the waitress, and ask her twice for sweet and low, it was cold tea. The four at our table ordered sushi rolls. They were delivered to our table at various times but my order was way late -- like twenty minutes after everyone else. And the roll was nothing special nor was it cooked -- it was just a stock spicy tuna roll. I will return to this restaurant again but there are lots of sushi places in Houston and this one certainly missed the mark last night. Hope you find better waitstaff.

MF is our go-to for fine sushi. High quality, and we don't end up spending a $grand for the two of us to reach satiety like at the place in the Galleria. Fine service, great pace of plates, always satisfied. Thanks Nyan and Cartier for always-great service and friendly environment. We will be back soon.

1st time to MF Sushi. Based on friends' feedback, we were very excited. Good news first...the food we were served was excellent. Bad news... 1) 3 of the items we ordered were not available 2) waitress was unattentive and unavailable to the extent that I had to request our check from one of the several "managers", 3) bartender did not follow specific cocktail instructions 4) in making the reservation, I noted that we were celebrating my friend's birthday. No mention was made of it. Granted it was an early Tuesday dinner, but I expected more. In this tough restaurant environment, MF Sushi cannot rest on it's laurels. It came off as a place with alot of top heavy "managers" with an uninformed, unattentive staff. Ending on a good note, the chefs were expert and their presentations were delightful! That said MF, you are "one and done" in my book...
