Umami is here! – Looking for a true umami experience? From the wonderfully crafted Chawa mushi (Japanese custard) to the expertly prepared sushi, Sushi King has captured the perfect taste of Japanese flavor. Paired with the nice selection of saki and Japanese beers, you will reach flavor enlightenment. The staff is always very courteous and friendly making all customers feel welcome. Our most gracious and professional waiter Gabriel is the best and I highly recommend asking for him. His food and drink suggestions are always ... read more

Questionable Policies, Rude Staff, Mediocre Food – Went here today with a group of work buddies. The food was mediocre, nothing that really blew me away as far as sushi goes. (On that note, I would highly recommend Oishii on Richmond for those who want great sushi). The thing that really ticked me off, and maybe it's just because I was a waiter for many years, was that they have a 'policy' of not splitting checks into more than 3 separate checks. Considering this is the electronic age, and every electronic point of sale ("PO... read more

Best Sushi in Houston – The minute you walk in the door they are ready to seat you, the server arrives to take the drink order almost immediately, even if the place is busy....you put the order in and end up waiting and waiting and waiting, but it's worth the wait. This is the consistently best sushi in Houston; from the rolls to the sushi, I haven't had one I didn't like yet. I like to sit at the sushi bar and watch them when I go alone.

Great Sushi...slow service – The sushi was great once it was brought to us, but customers who showed up 30 minutes after us, received their food before we did. When we got up, our rolls were sitting at the sushi bar. I'll go again, but ONLY for the rolls. I might sit at the sushi bar next time.

Hey - This place is not bad – OK Here's the deal. We went on a Friday to have a little sushi action. The edamame was crisp, hot, and nicely seasoned. The spicy tuna roll was fresh and tastey. The salmon special roll, on the other hand, was a little puny but it tasted good. Big Tex wanted to have a little sea bass, but it was not available. Overall, the sushi was not bad.. Here is the deal on the ambiance. The piano music made for a romantic atmosphere, but unfortunately there were some issues. Big Tex does not like to smell ... read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE – Average server make per hour: 2.15 Average tip out ( 8% of total sales ) ( the server has to give 8% cash of the total sales to the restaurant so they can split this with busboys and kitchen chefs) Tip: Average: 15% Good: 20% Excellant: 25% Superb: over 25% *If a customer leaves 8% tip to a server; the server makes ZERO dollars. *If a customer leaves no tip to a server, the server will have to pay the 8% tip out from their own pocket and served that customer for free, the server end up paying for the custo... read more

Very good sushi – My wife and I have visited a number of Japanese restaurants in Hosuton and this one has one of the best and freshest selections of sushi in the city. It's not the best but the qulity is consistent adn the service is good. I recently tried the platter of sashimi at lunch time with a number of Japanese beers. Food was delivered promptly, the sashimi was very fresh and well presented adn the service was outstanding. My wife tried a tempura dish (prawns) and wasn't overwhelmed. Stick with the sushi and avoid pe... read more

Best Sushi in Houston!!!!! – Sushi King has the best sushi in all of Houston. I have been to several different places, but that place beats them all. They have some of the best rolls I have ever tasted. The food is always so fresh and they make these amazing sauces for different types of rolls. I have turned many of my friends onto Sushi King, and they all have the same responses as I did the first time I went. I highly recommend Sushi King!!!!

Poor quality and overpriced sushi – Went with two friends on Saturday for lunch and was immediately turned off by the music. Don't play "club" music when all I want to do is relax on a Saturday afternoon. When the sushi finally came, we immediately noticed a very distinct "fish" smell. Not a single piece of sushi tasted good. Tasted like the fish has been sitting around for a couple of days. Not good, at all!! Like another review said, maybe it was an off day, but they've obviously had a couple and I don't intend to return t... read more
