The 11 Best Sushi Restaurants in Houston

"The vibes at Hokkaido in Chinatown are immaculate. The Tatami-mat lined space, bathed in yellow light, feels like slipping into someone’s imagined ideal of a sushi restaurant. Order everything, like combinations of reasonably-priced nigiri and sashimi and makimono rolls, at the counter. Soon after, a genuinely nice person working there will, somehow, miraculously deliver exactly what you ordered to you, no matter where you sit. How they accomplish this feat remains a mystery. Perhaps the last person to order is likely the least blissed out from the yellow light therapy? Come here for lunch or dinner, solo or with a friend or two, and split some inexpensive, well-made sushi and imagine your own reality." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
