The Best Sushi Restaurants in Houston

"Uchi serves up neatly presented small plates and sushi that are packed with layers of honest flavor. Imaginative dishes abound, like the oak-grilled walu walu with candied citrus and ponzu or its big-eye tuna paired with watermelon and fish sauce. Vegetarian dishes are given just as much thought, with rolls filled with tempura avocado, sun-dried tomato, or Japanese eggplant and nori. If looking to take the thought out of the experience, opt for Uchi’s 15-seat omakase experience, Oheya, which is tucked in the back of the restaurant. If both are booked, consider visiting its sister restaurant, Uchiko, in Houston’s Post Oak Place, which serves a mixture of sushi and innovative dishes imbued with smoke." - Brittany Britto Garley
