Everything at The Fish was amazing! The Spicy Edamame was a game changer. It was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. The fried rice and sushi rolls were perfection. Will definitely go back.
Every time I have been here the food and quality are great!
Lane was a great server and food was delicious!
Great!! This is a place I would strongly recommend it.
Fun! It’s a cute place with outdoor seating. Elegant inside. The outside is where the party is at.
Food was amazing! Everything was fresh and rolls weren't too big. We visit Houston often and will add this to the list of our favorite restaurants.
Excellent. Must try the burger of all things!! Good sushi and nice place to have dinner with a friend
Quality is not what it used to be at the Fish. Won’t be back.
We have been regulars here for almost 10 years. This was by far the worse visit we’ve ever encountered. Service was horrible, our waiter took 20 minutes LITERALLY, to bring us water. We had to get his attention on our own and he still forgot to come to take our order. We flagged down the general manager, hoping he’d make it right BUT that too, was a nightmare. When the server finally took our order he rushed it and wasn’t tentative at all. He was obviously super busy bc he was sweating all over and seemed irritated from the start. We had a few modifications, that they failed to get right, no cucumber on our rolls and extra eel and aioli sauce on the side. After 35 minutes of waiting on our food, it was wrong! No sauce at all on the rolls and cucumber was in every roll. We advised the manager and clearly he could care less. I don’t even think he believed us, bc before leaving the table he looked in the sushi rolls several times as if we were lying. 🥴 We had to ask for refills on coke too. Y’all it was horrible! Now after 10 long years we have to find us a new sushi spot. I truly wish this never happened, Janice and the rest of the crew needs to return to make things right.
Do Not Book This Restaurant.
You get a reservation and then they are not even open.
Valentine’s Day brunch with my husband
My favorite restaurant! Love the food. Love the staff. Excellent place for a special occasion or for everyday. Ask for Linda.
We went for Valentines dinner. We try to eat Keto and the staff was very helpful in preparing a wonderful healthy meal for us. The atmosphere was nice, just not quite 5 star type though. I have no complaints. It was a nice place.
Great service and really good food. The music is fun and exciting but not too loud. We asked for a chef’s special and our waiter recommended the Gekkeikan sake. Didn’t disappoint. And ample space between our tables for social distancing.
Just having a family diner with our daughter after a walk in Buffalo park
Great spot for quality sushi. It has been there forever and the quality is consistent.
I frequent The Fish a couple of times a year and the value for the food is high and the cocktails are awesome.
Great place to gather, drink and eat. Our waiter, Lee, was fabulous!! One of the best services we’ve ever had. Busy night. He had multiple tables, but never skipped a beat! I highly recommend
Reservation was easy to set up. the waiter did a nice job(his first week) taking care of us. did forget a reorder on the drink but made up for it quickly. the food was outstanding - we went with an appetizer followed by sushi. unique and very flavorful - well prepared. would go here again.
Fish is an American version of sushi and sashimi. Great service and waiters.
I’ve been going to the fish since 2010 when I first moved to HTX. Still haven’t found another sushi spot that compares. It’s always a vibe; the food is amazing, service is amazing & it’s never a wait! Miss my girl Janet but everyone else is amazing too. Best sushi restaurant in Houston, period! ✨
One of favorite spots has officially tanked. Poor service and food quality wasn’t there.
You know a business is hurting when the waiter pours the last of the iced tea in the jug-pretty much water and he looks at it and shrugs off.
Food was way off (un-desirable).
The sake selection was varied and fantastic, and the sushi rolls were on point for a delightful evening for my wife and I. Will be back!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us those kind words! We appreciate it!
Good service and when we dined here on a previous time, an error with our order was very courteously and promptly handled. The food is probably a 7 to 8 out if 10. Sashimi fish seems fresh and tastes great. During Friday and Saturday nights, noise level gets loud, as they get pretty full from what we've noticed, so great if that's the ambiance you're looking for, but not for a quiet, romantic dinner. We definitely recommend.
Thanks for sharing! We always appreciate honest feedback, and it does indeed get pretty lively in here. Glad to hear you enjoyed your dinner!
We were visiting from out of town and decided to take a chance on this restaurant. My husband and I loved the food. All of our dishes were presented beautifully. Everything tasted fresh and wonderful. We’ll be back next time we come to Houston.
Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience! See you back soon!
Very original rolls as well as plenty of other options. Nice space as well, we came when it was pretty empty but it was super lively by the time we left and the noise level was still great.
Thanks for sharing! We always appreciate honest feedback, and it does indeed get pretty lively in here. We hope to see you back soon!
Love The Fish - best sushi value in Houston. Wednesday took great care of us - Adam (GM) always checks in to make sure we’re being taken care of & Linda does a great job filling in when Adams not there. The special rolls are creative & Sushi chefs always make old favorites upon request. Will be back soon!

This review made our day! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your kind words!
Loved the place since it first opened. Continues to be our favorite sushi spot in Houston!
We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community
Great food wonderful service
Great sushi! Great staff
I’m very confused why this restaurant has a great rating. This might have been the worst sushi I’ve ever had and was clearly cheap and fake.
We ordered one of the special rolls for the night and it came out wet and soggy like it had water spilled over it. Next we ordered chicken fried rice which honestly tasted worse than microwaved fried rice (the waitress confirmed it is microwaved).
For the price, the food quality was horrible. It did have a good environment, but that’s about it.

Rolls were overpriced for the size and quality. Poke bowl was way over priced for less than 1/4 up of salmon and had way too much rice at 1.5 cups. Server was good. Ambiance was nice.
Service was VERY slow.
Food was amazing and the service took it to the next level. Fantastic experience all the way through.
Engagement
Awesome happy hour deals!
I enjoy the food at The Fish but the last few times the service has been very slow and items are forgotten and slow to be delivered, which holds up partaking in the meal.
Really good restaurant and awesome value for money.
First time and our waiter, Anthony, went out of his way to take exceptional care of my wife and I. It was my wife’s birthday and a memorable experience! The food was wonderful and the service was great! We will go back and take our family and friends!
