Specializing in fresh, high-quality hand rolls & crudo
"From the outside, what looks like a modest home with an adorable porch is actually Handies Douzo, a sushi restaurant in the Heights that specializes in handrolls. The inside of Handies is entirely made up of a wraparound counter with chefs in the center wheeling and dealing out handrolls like cool sushi dealers. You should definitely get the buttery BGB salmon sake handroll or the refreshing crab handroll (or get a double hit of both). You can also order sake that comes in a cute juice box, in case you want to unlock your inner child while you’re eating thickly cut slices of hamachi.All Handies Douzo locations in Houston are part of the Link & Dine program." - Team Infatuation
"Housed in an old Heights bungalow, this unassuming yet wildly popular hand roll bar blends neatly into its eclectic surroundings. Led by acclaimed sushi chefs Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee, the hotspot offers an intimate dining experience with a menu featuring both a la carte options and curated sets of hand rolls, sashimi, and crudo. With just 26 seats arranged around a cozy sushi bar, reservations are essential because tables fill up quickly." - Brianna Griff

"This Montrose mainstay is so serious about the quality of its hand rolls that it incorporates roasting boxes and dehumidifiers throughout the restaurant to keep the seaweed extra crispy. Sit at the 26-seat bar, where you’re bound to meet a friend while enjoying crudo and solid combinations like its BGB Sake — King salmon rolled with warm rice, or the spicy hotate hand roll, made with scallop and serrano. Visit the Heights location for a change of scenery but the same quirky decor that’s filled with various versions of its rubber duck mascot." - Brittany Britto Garley
