The 12 Best Sushi Restaurants in Houston

"A meal at Uchi, the Austin import that first hit Montrose in 2012, is the kind you save for birthdays or anniversaries. But a strategic Happy Hour is just as fabulous (just get there before 6pm). The menu here is jam-packed, and picking what to order feels like sitting down for a test you didn’t study for. Instead of busting out the ‘ole “close your eyes and point” method to decide, try the omakase. Or better yet, let your server captain the meal and guide you through scores of nigiri, rolls, seasonal specials, cool-tastings, and hot-tasting options with ease." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
