Uptown sushi spot next to the famous mega church. The interior is more spacious than it looks and service and fish quality seem fairly tip top. The nigiri (unagi, chopped scallop, Uni) were fairly solid and comparable to a Kata, Katami, Uchiko type restaurant. Their scallop and foie combo nigiri was excellent. Our staff went all out about their specials and World Cup events that they're promoting. The fish quality seems good and it's definitely worth a try.
I stopped in by myself and tried the lunch special (2-roll combo). The sushi was just okay--nothing special. The place itself is pretty inside and clean, which I liked. The service was just average, and the waiter didn't explain the menu or offer much help. My old fashioned was way too bitter. Overall it was fine, but not somewhere I'd likely return.
From the moment we walked in, Aburi Sushi impressed us. We made a reservation for our party of 7 during lunch. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated us immediately to our prepared table with a cute little "Happy birthday" placard. Our server Ashley was amazing! She was thorough and knowledgeable, taking time to explain the menu and guide us through our choices. The appetizer sampler was DELISH, especially the shrimp. I forgot the names of everything we ordered, but the ahi tuna tower which was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes with no complaints. I also enjoyed their Aburi South Side cocktail, which is their take on an East Side with added lychee. We finished with the Dubai chocolate molten cake for dessert, which was divine. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed and immaculately clean. This has become our new favorite spot and we can't wait to return!
I was warmly greeted by the hostess and bartender Ann-Marie. Aburi has an intimate vibe (dimly lit, EDM music) and would be a good date spot. I started with my usual Old Fashioned along w the Social Hour Gyoza, then the Iris Roll for an entree. Food, drink, and service were fantastic. Co-owner Jim explained the uniqueness of the Japanese Highball, and offered up a sample. It was a light, refreshing drink. Aburi has good energy, and now a repeat guest when I return to the area.
good parking directly in front of restaurant. made reservations by phone and by opentable app, both quick and easy. Once, we were running about 20 minutes late, when I called to let them know, they were courteous and understanding, held the table for us despite being busy. Utmost customer service both times. Servers were patient, attentive, knowledgeable with the menu and gave good recommendations. Raw fish were fresh and thickly cut. Everything was tasteful. Plate presentations were innovative and aesthetically pleasing. I have not ordered anything that I've been disappointed by. While the dishes look compact, portions are sizable. Establishment and restrooms are clean.
Another exceptional dinner experience here! They have a new drink called the Sakura sour which was lovely, a little sweet and tart. Tried a new app this time, the chicken satay- it was very good, meat was tender and the peanut sauce paired nicely with it. Branched out from the social hour usuals. The nigiri is what this place is known for. At the recommendation of our server, I got the nigiri flight (3 pieces) but added a scallop = foie gras. So glad I did this. Each piece was unique and carefully crafted. My favorite from the original flight was the salmon but they were all quite different from each other. The scallop + foie gras was exceptional- chef gave us some huge pieces of foie gras because we waited a bit for the flights to come out. Hands down one of the best things I've eaten, a complete triumph. This will continue to be my go to sushi spot!
I came to Aburi Sushi for Mother's Day dinner. There's plenty of parking in the lot. The interior is pretty minimalist and clean. Our server was very attentive and friendly. My favorite dishes were the ahi tower, blanco roll, and hamachili roll. The rolls are a good portion and great for sharing for a group of four. Aburi's sushi overall tasted fresh and of quality but nothing particularly blew my mind. As for their main entrees, I didn't care for the wagyu don or sea bass. I feel that those dishes can be skipped. The Wagyu tasted like any other cut of steak and the dish itself was a bit salty. The sea bass dish was very basic and I would've preferred a bit more of a charred miso flavor. The cool thing about Mother's Day dinner here was that they took a Polaroid picture of our family as a gift, so I hope they continue that tradition for years to come. Overall, I would only recommend coming here for just their sushi rolls rather than main entrees.
I came here for my birthday dinner and just wow. Walking in, it was very crisp, clean, modern and my friend even called it "industrial chic". It was super pretty inside and each table had an electric lamp. When it came to ordering, we asked our server what he recommended and got some stuff that sounded appealing to us. He then brought out the food in the order that would be the best to enjoy. All the food was so good and melted in my mouth. The salmon was my favorite and so fatty.
great happy hour spot. has nice variety of kitchen items and sushi bar items. service was good. not sure why people don't come more often for happy hour. our second time and it only got super busy closer to end of happy hour, more for dinner we got the -hamachi kama (requested teriyaki on the side) and it never misses! -set of the hh nigiri's - A+ -all the crudos (we went for round 2 on salmon and yellowtail crudos) A+ bafun uni (not on hh) was so buttery and delicious! aburi chu toro -1 star bc I wish it wasn't torched -1 star for not having baby changing station in the bathrooms will always be back for hh.
I love seared sushi, but if it's not done right, it ends up being fishy - and that unfortunately was my experience. The service was also a little slow, considering it was not crowded, but I think the server was just new. I also had an awkward moment when checking out bc the server said she wasn't sure if my payment went through, so I had to pull up my credit card transaction to prove that it did. All that being said, the place itself was nice and clean, with a quiet yet trendy ambience. I do plan to give it another try, especially given the other very positive reviews.
Overpriced but beautiful high-end sushi spot with great service! We made a reservation for Saturday evening. The restaurant had a decent crowd so I would reserve in advance for large parties. They have quite an extensive list of sake and liquor, in addition regular cocktails. Dishes we really liked: - King Salmon & Caramalized Figs (delicious starter that our server recommended! had a perfect tint of sweetness) - Hamachili Roll (favorite roll that was not too heavy) - Aburi Flight The Spring Truffle Roll was heavier than expected, so will probably opt for something else next time. The Aburi on Fire seemed to be a popular entree among our neighboring tables. I will be back one day to try out their happy hour (M-F 4:30-6:30)! read more
Treated myself here to a post work dinner. I sat at the bar so special shot out to Tracey, Cam, and Tim! I ordered the lycheetini and had Tracey and cam decide my other drinks-dealers choice! I ordered the: 1) toro tartare crispy rice with cavier: Bluefin tuna toro tartare, caviar, crispy rice, pickled wasabi, microgreens 2) ahi crudo with quail egg: Tuna, quail egg, shiro dashi, chives, fresh wasabi. It was probably my least favorite item I got. The flavors weren't there for me and it fell short. 3) scallop and foie gras nigiri: one of my favs! Would def order again 4) toro uni cavier: if you like uni this is a must! 5) rainbow spider: legit a marriage of 2 of my favorite rolls. Soft shell crab with raw fish on top. 6) caramel bread pudding: man this was good. Perfect way to end the meal! The restaurant was super cute! I can't wait to come back and try their HH soon!! Come check out this new spot! read more
I'm in love! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was very fresh tasting and I loved the little spin they put n common dishes. My friend joined me and is not typically a big sushi eater, but she loved everything as well. The service was phenomenal. My waitress was able to give me specific recommendations based on my taste profile. The restaurant is super cute! Perfect for a cute photo opportunity. The dress attire was super casual, but I could see myself getting cute for a date night. This will be my new fave for a while and I recently learned that they have HH so new post coming soon! read more
First time here at this sushi restaurant under the name Aburi Sushi. We all ordered from the Three Course Lunch Prixe Fixe which is on Monday through Friday from 11am-2:30pm and Saturday from Noon-3pm. It gives you either a choice of Miso Soup or Salad and great selection of entrees and choice of Mango Panna Cotta or Oreo Chocolate Mousse. We all got the Roll Combo. The rolls were very good, with a thin layer of rice which is appreciated. I had Rock and Roll, Salmon and Avocado Roll and Crunch Shrimp Tempura. All delicious and fresh. Service was great, he was attentive and friendly. The ambiance is also causal and elegant and another good place for sushi around the area. read more
Dined in on a Friday at 11:30 AM for a part of 4, and were seated immediately. Beautiful restaurant, overpriced, and the food was not impressive. We ordered: Shrimp tempura: good light batter Truffle fries: sad looking presentation, fries are super thin wedges, nothing special Shiromi yuza salsa: sauce was good but the fish was questionable Honey ginger brussel sprouts: very good flavors Hamachi Kama: good and fresh Toro tartare crispy rice w/ caviar: disappointing, the rice had a powdery gritty taste Aburi sushi flight: 2/3 fish was good Seared toro hand roll: very good A5 wagyu: good Scallop and foie gras: very good Yellowtail belly: basic Salmon belly: basic Chopped scallop not spicy: good read more
Aburi Sushi was perfect for happy hour! We came as a party of 4 on a Fri at 5pm, and it wasn't crowded at all. I will say the dinner rush was coming in just as we were leaving though. HH is Mon - Fri 4:30 - 6:30pm. Walking in, this place is really nice! The place has a very modern, sleek, clean look to it. The hostess, Jenny, was very friendly and sat us immediately. Then our server, Sheyla, was very welcoming. She gave us a lot of great recommendations on different things to try. This particular visit, we pretty much tried everything on the HH menu. Drinks: Sake bombs. You can never go wrong there. Their hot sake is actually a lot better tasting than your typical hot sake, you can tell they use a higher quality option. My beer of choice is kirin light. Also get their old fashioned on the HH menu, really good! Food: There was nothing on the HH menu we didn't like! The most notable items were the truffle fries, each of the $4 nigiri pieces, spring truffle roll, and the ahi tower. Everything was very fresh, 10/10 would recommend. While we came for a fun HH on this particular visit, I would definitely come back here for a nice date night. The rest of the menu sounded really good. They have all my favorites like A5 wagyu, otoro, uni, and more. There's plenty of hot dishes too if sushi isn't your thing. Cheers! Can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Really really good place. I love how they brightened it up from the former occupant. Walking in you are immediately greeted by the host standing near the bar at the entrance. We had a reservation for four at 12 noon on a Tuesday. There were plenty of open tables but more guests poured in during the lunch hour. Our table all chose the Daily Sushi Special which is 3 pieces of dressed sushi served with a special daily roll (chef's choice). It came with soup or salad and chocolate mousse or mango dessert. I chose the salad topped with ginger dressing and it was fresh & crisp. The rest of my table ordered the miso soup and all said it was very good! The fish was very fresh and the roll was wonderful too! I look forward to many more lunches here. Will be back as soon as possible! And will try out the social hour soon! read more

This is my favorite sushi dining experience in Houston right now. I've been here 3 times, once for my birthday, once for lunch and again last night with a large group to celebrate going to the Madonna concert. Yumi was our waitress last night and she did awesome! I ordered for the table and everyone loved every dish that i chose. The food was so good and picking several dishes family style left everyone satisfied for a really reasonable price! We had a bottle of wine and some cocktails for the table and it totaled out to only ~80 per person which included automatic 20% tip for large party. They did calculate the tip on top of the total + tax and not the subtotal which I had never seen before but that was neither here nor there. I would definitely regularly come back to dine here. I love it read more

This might be my new favorite sushi restaurant. Everything was not only fresh but full of flavor. Highly recommend the following in pics but would love to go back and try even more dishes. The ambience is more modern and brighter than more traditional sushi places. Highly recommend! The drinks were delicious too. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Despite being in a strip center that has iffy luck for businesses (RIP Cafe Express, among others), Aburi is seriously some of the best sushi in this city! And what's great about it is, it's a more casual ambience. We walked in last minute, dressed in jeans and tennis shoes, and were served quickly. Everything is fresh and delicious, and the prices are reasonable compared to your high-end fancier sushi restaurants, though we did spend almost $200 for 2 people. That included 2 alcoholic beverages (lychee martini is so good!), A5 Wagyu, scallop & foie gras, king salmon, hamachi, rainbow spider roll, pork egg roll, and an absolutely amazing dessert--chocolate mousse. Minimal, modern, chic decor. And plenty of parking! Yay! read more

Such a posh restaurant! Loved the ambiance. I'm actually very impressed with their plates and silverware. Seems like they really out effort into making this place inviting! The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and always smiling. Their hot tea was served in this nice cast iron pot with matching tea cups. Our favorite was the wagyu fried rice, chef's kiss! It was flavorful and a large serving. Also had the seaweed salad, honey ginger brussel sprouts, salmon sashimi, yuzu shiromi hand roll, house smoked salmon, ebi and uni. Didn't order all that much since we're planning on coming back to try more of their items! read more
GNO on a Saturday night! I have to say I love restaurants in Houston that are located in a parking lot that is FREE and easily accessible. No stress about parking. Once I entered the restaurant you are welcomed by a hostess and it is located right next to the bar. Btw, you can eat and drink at the bar if you wanted. They sat us down and took our drink orders quickly. The restaurant is pretty new and just opened so it wasn't very crowded. Great lighting, not too dark and definitely not too loud where you gotta scream across the table. The food was delicious and the price is pretty reasonable. Fish was fresh, drinks were on point. Must try date night , dinner with family or friends. It's pretty casual so you can wear jeans or shorts and of course dress up if you like. read more

Ohh my goodness. Every single dish I had was delicious! We ordered nearly one of everything on the happy hour apps and they were crispy when friend and cold and refreshing on the chilled dishes. Perfection. The service was fast and friendly, there was never a time my water wasn't filled. The wagyu ribeye and bread pudding were life changing. The ambiance is cute and intimate and would recommend for a business dinner or even a date night. read more

Have been going to Aburi Sushi for months and have had an amazing experience each time. Once entering, you are greeted by the friendly staff and clean interior. The restaurant gives off a very sophisticated and contemporary feel. I do recommend coming with a large group or coming back multiple times to explore the full menu! Each dish deserves a taste. My favorite dish at the moment would have to be the spicy wagyu don. I do also recommend the chirashi bowl lunch special! Other dishes recommended: Brussels Sprouts Truffle fries Wagyu skewers Hamachi ota ika Bluefin with quail egg Carpaccio Trio Lox roll Hamachilli roll Aburi Flight Scallop & Foie Tuna pastrami Spicy miso ramen BREAD PUDDING is a must. ... list goes on read more
Came here with a group of friends during their soft opening phase which is still going on as of now I believe! Lovely space, for starters, the decor and ambiance are very chic and cozy. You feel right at home if you had a rich home lol. Service was very good! Some things took a bit more time to come than I would have expected but the staff was very nice and helpful with recommendations. As for the food, we ordered a lot to really get to try the dinner menu across 7 people. Solid 4/5 for me, which, is quite the feat for a new sushi restaurant in Houston. Personally I like the nigiri over their rolls. The customized aburi nigiri pieces are quite delicious in particular, and they've got those flavors nailed down! The sizes are a little smaller than you'd expect however the rice to fish ratio is great! I recommend the seared snapper, the A5 wagyu and the scallop and foie gras. Holy trinity right there! Those melt in your mouth. Some of our fav apps were the truffle fries, brusell sprouts and the chili edemame. We ended with the delicious bread pudding which was a 5/5!! Overall a solid place for being this fresh and I can't wait to see how they grow. They've already got the look and the ambiance down. As mentioned before some things took a while longer than expected but as this is a new place and seemingly already packed on a weeknight, I'm sure they are working those kinks of being busy out. Lastly, their drinks are strong, set to a price of 15$ for most cocktails. They also have large sized sake bottles that are very affordable and shareable. Would love to return here again and try more things. read more

Restaurant located in a strip mall, which means plentiful free parking. Good vibe for date night, girls night, or even family night out (I saw all these groups represented). The quality of the sashimi was excellent and all the food was delicious, except for a disappointing dessert not pictured (chocolate creme brulee). Service was meh, but hoping for a 5 start experience next visit. read more

I have to admit that I was afraid dinner was going to be disappointing because of the outside of the restaurant. It's located in a shopping center and looks like a regular restaurant from the outside. However, once you walk inside you will be pleasantly surprise. The interior is very contemporary and the food is amazing. I don't think there was a dish we tried that we didn't enjoy. We even enjoyed the Hamachi Ota Ika, shiromi yuzu salsa, and gyoza so much that we ordered seconds. This place will definitely be visited again. read more
Aburi sushi, boasts not only some Of the BEST Sushi in all of Houston... Their customer service and their Spicy Miso Ramen, are unquestionably the best!!I've had the pleasure of getting ramen a lot of places in Houston, as well as in California and NY. Three states that have been deemed Mecas in the culinary space! This Ramen, is undefeated. I assure you, you'll struggle to remember having had a better bowl of Ramen, than their spicy miso ramen!! Man.... I think I need to go get another bowl. read more
