Best sushi I've had in Houston! The service is quick and friendly in a cozy dining room. Everything we tried was SUPER fresh and delicious. The sea scallop was fresh and melted in our mouth. read more

I went to Bloofin Sushi for Galentine's on Friday night with my sister, and we had a really nice experience. We ordered several pieces of nigiri, all on the fattier side, and they were absolutely delicious -- super fresh and flavorful. The quality of the fish definitely stood out. We also tried two maki rolls: the Truffle and the Crazy roll. I wasn't a huge fan of either. The truffle flavor completely overpowered the rest of the roll, and while the Crazy roll was good, it wasn't anything spectacular. Our waiter was very nice and attentive throughout the entire meal, which made the experience even better. Overall, it's definitely a solid sushi spot, especially for nigiri. We really enjoyed that part of the meal and would come back for that alone. read more

Are you people serious? This place is terrible. Besides the fish smell at the bar the service is terrible. We went today and the maki rolls were delicious but we were the only ones there. The manager sat at a computer the entire time in the bar, did nothing but sit there on the computer. Bartender had his head on the bar watching the TV on top of his arms because he was bored. We bought a bottle of champagne and the glasses didn't even match, picture attached. Our sushi was ready, the chefs aren't allowed to serve it so it sat on the bar for over 5 minutes until I asked the manager if I was meant to get the rolls or her. This place sucks, it is the worse place and a waste of time to visit. read more

We loved our experience at Bloofin. The sushi was excellent - we kept ordering more. The restaurant was open and inviting. We sat at the bar, and it was a great time. Our server had a great attitude and helpful with recommendations. However, felt a little bad for her as she was one of the few servers and the 4th of July weekend. However, she did wonderfully. read more

Waitstaff was awesome. Food was amazing. Location was great. We had 11 people and they put us in a private room. Must go to

Came here for dinner and ordered a number of dishes to share. Seaweed Salad - Tasty and was nicely chilled Hama Chili - Light and refreshing Nigiri Selection - Super fresh Amazing Tuna Maki - Good but wasn't anything special Great service and ambiance, would definitely come back and they have a great happy hour menu as well! read more

Calling this a sushi place is a misnomer. These guys are Japanese fine dining. The menu has so much more to offer. The tempura mushrooms were the star for me. The seafood was mega fresh. Service was quick, friendly, and professional. It made for a wonderful date night. We can't wait to go back for the tasting prefixe menu. Only ding is it's pretty expensive. This makes it a special occasion place for me. read more

Took 1 hour plus to get our food. We think they forgot to put the order into the kitchen as all of the tables around us who came later all got their food first. It was pretty bad. lots of apologies but also lots of missed chances to fix. on the food - fish quality itself is good. but cold rice from the fridge? took way from food a lot. On drinks - no draft beer is a crime. Inside is fine. read more

Celebrated my sister's graduation here since they were able to accommodate a party of 7 last minute. The restaurant looked small on the outside however inside, it was spacious & well decorated. They don't validate parking unfortunately. I ordered a lot for the table since it was happy hour all Sunday. Least favorite items: -salted edamame (it looked like it got snowed on) -wagyu maki, everyone at the table said it tasted like a California roll with beef for $24, couldn't finish that -hot water...because it was served in that kind of pot, it was lukewarm. -engawa, my favorite nigiri of all time but it was too chewy -lobster ramen, I think it needs hondashi, lack of some type of seasoning Favorite: -truffle salmon, simple & good -Lion King maki, MUST GET// everyone's fav -crunch maki, can't go wrong I wished there were more vegetarian dishes than just avocado rolls. There's so many ingredients at sushi restaurants to accommodate vegetarians. The staff were very nice, especially the hostess. I would recommend the temaki over nigiri's for next time! read more

My girlfriends and I loved everything we ordered! The service was fantastic. Our server took excellent care of us all night and made thoughtful recommendations that we genuinely appreciated. The pricing here is also very reasonable for the quality of food. We enjoyed rolls and dishes featuring black truffle, foie gras, and uni, plus cocktails, and the total came out to about $70 per person. For the quality and variety, this is one of the better sushi spots I've visited in The Woodlands. Our favorite dishes of the night had to be the Tuna Foie and the Hughes Landing roll. The Tuna Foie was incredibly supple and rich, while the Hughes Landing offered an exciting combination of flavors that delighted us with every bite. An honorable mention goes to the Hama Chili--the addition of Fuji apple was innovative and elevated the dish beautifully. The cocktails also hit the mark and were a great complement to the meal. The ambiance added to the experience--small, cozy, and modern, it made for an intimate yet upscale setting that matched the food and service. Overall, an amazing experience with fantastic food, excellent service, and great value. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for lunch today and everything was delicious. Ordered a couple of sushi rolls, they were fresh and tasty. I also ordered a bento box with chicken and steak. It came with the option of fried rice or regular rice. Also an option for soup or salad. I got the salad with a ginger dressing so good. And so much more (see my photo) even came with a little dessert. Great service too! My favorite most flavorful thing was the spicy garlic edamame. Normally you go places and the edamame is just ok but this place made sure to pack it with flavor and a kick. Will defn be back here again! read more

Blōōfin Sushi and Bar - Bento box yummmm - Japanese Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

By the water and in a nice area, there's a parking garage nearby and some but not a lot of street parking. It was quiet but they had a nice outdoor patio area, we ended up sitting inside. There only seemed to be a handful of servers and our server became busy as we sat there. Some of our drinks were forgotten a couple times and we had to try and flag the server down. Everything else was good and the drinks were good aside from the inconsistent service which wasn't too bad otherwise. They were still friendly and tried to be attentive. We started with a glass of the Mily Way Sake and an Agave Raindrop. Both were very good and I definitely recommend it. We ordered a variety of items but started with the truffle salmon. Loved how the truffle paired with the salmon overall and it was very good. We did come during happy hour so had this for the happy hour price. We ordered the Uni King Crab Spoon and the Bafun Uni Sashimi with a quail egg on top. I loved both and loved how buttery the uni was. I also ordered the a5 uni caviar handroll which was very good. Our friends ordered the (Snow Crab) Shaggy Dog Roll, the Jalapeno Roll and the Robusta Maki. All were pretty good but I think I liked the Robusta Maki the best but all were pretty good. The Crudo Hirame was recommended but I think it was either too salty or acidic but I wasn't the biggest fan. I didn't know that it also came in the bloofin special that my husband ordered so I would have refrained from ordering it if I had known. The bloofin special came with a sea bass sulmono soup which was amazing, I would recommend ordering that separately. The Hughes Landing Maki was pretty good, i definitely enjoyed that. Overall, the food was pretty good and some misses for me. I'm not sure if it's all worth the price but overall very good. I do recommend the agave raindrop and the n/naka cocktails. Definitely worth coming for happy hour though! read more

My best friend and I were looking for a place to eat before heading out to a concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, and this place was literally only like a 6-minute drive away. The inside of the restaurant is very aesthetic and clean. Service was great because everyone was extremely friendly, from the hostess greeting us, to our actual server. I liked that they offer a happy hour menu on the weekends, which seems to be rare to find in most restaurants. The quality of the sushi here was pretty good. I usually judge the quality of a nigiri based on how the sushi rice tastes and the texture, and it was definitely perfect here. I ordered the "sushi b" set, and my friend got the "bloofin special." The sushi b set is good if you're indecisive (like me), and just want nigiri. It's a good sampler. It also includes hokkaido scallop and a5 wagyu. My only complaint was that I wished the a5 wagyu was a bit more tender; it was very chewy when I ate it. The bloofin special looks super aesthetic, and offers a wide variety of samplers of different dishes. We also got the miso cod, which was SO delicious and buttery to perfection. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone. It also had a bit of a crunch from the way it was cooked/caramelized, which I liked. It's a good sharable dish too. My friend and I got it to share, and it was split evenly down the middle for us. The miso soup and side salad that came with each of our 3 dishes were good too! read more

The hope was this place that now occupies where The Blue Fish used to be (The Blue Fish didn't survive Covid) would be as good or better. The only similarity was the pricing which was at the higher end. The quality was not great. My wife and I shared several different rolls as well as some sashimi. It was very mediocre for the price. We only had sake and wine and our check was over $200. I don't mind paying for great food but this was far from great. Service was good. Ambiance was decent but I liked it more when it was a bit more open when it was The Blue Fish. read more

Blōōfin Sushi and Bar - Assorted sashimi. The uni was a disappointment. Food quality was average and not worth the price. Probably won't return. - Japanese Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

Hm, interesting place. Reviews look good and the pics look but....service was slow at first, weird cuz there was hardly anyone there. Once we got served the service was constant. The food was good but the menu seemed to lack substance. Idk, it was weird. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't jump to go back. You can try it out and get your own vibe of the place and see for yourself. I may be off base here but I wasn't feeling this place. read more

Pretty great place in many ways. Beautiful build-out, outstanding service, and an incredibly ambitious menu. Many sushi/sashimi items that I've never heard of before and prepared in some interesting and slightly exotic ways, like dry aging the fish. Non-sushi items like chawanmushi and ramen were not so successful, both bland and monochromatic, needed some spice and some energy. The sushi itself, nigiri, etc. is very good but not outstanding - there's something muting the flavors we've become accustomed to at places like Kata Robata and WO. read more

Went for dinner with co workers. Food was fantastic, service was fast and efficient loved the vibe we had a good time

This place is the real deal Holyfield. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The fact that they serve real fresh wasabi was a hint of the quality you can expect here. The star dish for me was the lobster and crab ramen... amazing! Service and ambience are also on point. Definitely recommend and want to visit again. read more

I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves. Talk about fantastic and wonderful experience! I was the perfect date night with my hubby. The sake flight was delicious. The aged tuna nigiri, the aged toro nigiri, barracuda to start. Then moved on the miso cod that was cooked to perfection. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience with Andrew as our bartender and his expertise on the menu and suggestions were on point. read more

I've only had great experiences here! The best sushi I've had in Houston (including downtown Houston). We came for the soft opening and were so happy that we came back again and it was just as amazing. We learned that some of their sushi is highest quality fresh flown from Japan. Apparently only 3 sushi restaurants in Houston have this quality of fish. The service here is so amazing. It was our anniversary and they got us flowers as well which was above and beyond. We got a lot of different things, including a Endo roll which had pear in it. I was skeptical of it being too sweet, but it wasn't at all and was so delicious. We got the Houston, Endo, toro special, and red moon. Also tried dry aged nigiri and sashimi. All great but we loved the peppercorn tuna and dry aged yellow tail. Everything was great! Try their beef skewers, edamame, or gyoza for apps too. It is right on the water so beautiful restaurant! read more

We decided to use it as a venue for a small group birthday celebration. To our surprise, we were assigned a private room for 6 people and it was beautifully decorated. The food was delicious, no really other way to describe it but fresh and flavorful, great combination of ingredients for Maki and delicious sashimi. Everything was really mouth watering. It has become a favorite Japanese cuisine restaurant. Thank you Henry for your wonderful service with memorable attention to detail! read more

Great food. Excellent service. It's on the lake so eating outside on the patio is nice. This place is pricey. It's not worth the up charge to me, but it's a great meal if you're not concerned with price. There's a $50 foie gras roll on the menu. Do what you will with that. read more

Bloofin Sushi & Bar If you're craving sushi, I highly suggest Bloofin! We tried a few different rolls & (as you can see) loved all of them! The edimame is arguably the best we've had out at a restaurant. The wait staff was amazing & manager extremely friendly. Something that caught my attention was in the woman restroom. Not only was it immaculatly clean, but they have free feminine products! *it's the little things!!!! Definitely our new fav sushi spot! read more

Food, service and ambience was great! Definitely would eat here again! Looking forward to my next visit.

Run, don't walk, to try this place! Always the freshest sushi, with elevated options plus your favorite traditional (but deliciou roll classics. A classic setting, great for business lunch, brunch, girls (or guys) night out or date night, this restaurant checks all the boxes. Feeling adventurous? Sit at the sushi bar and ask for chef's choice on the sushi or sashimi. read more

I am, unfortunately, gluten sensitive. The staff in this restaurant went out of their way to make sure, I was able to have a nice meal, despite my food limitations. I appreciate that, so much. Great food, and a friendly and helpful staff, a nice water view, too. read more

Very nice place! The server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable and the food was wonderful!

Been here before and sat on the back patio which was great but it was rainy so that was closed for the evening. Had to sit inside which was smelly- hard to place the smell but wasn't pleasant in a food establishment. Still, the service and food was good but hesitant to try again unless outside open. read more

Imo this is the best sushi restaurant in the woodlands. I used to drive about 30 minutes to their location in spring. I was so happy when they opened this location that's only 15 minutes from me and it's better. I still have places in Houston that I go for sushi on weekends, but that's an hour drive. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all an upgrade from the spring location in my opinion. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is always fresh and delicious. The drinks are great (try their g&t with yuzu). The dining room is very comfortable and some tables have views of the waterway. read more

The only positive thing about this place is the quality of the sushi. The interior does not match the menu, which is similar to any strip mall sushi restaurant, and it is painfully uninviting. There's nothing more unappetizing than smelling the cleaning solution that's coming from the kitchen while you're trying to enjoy your expensive meal. And you cannot escape the kitchen because there are two entrances that our seen from everywhere in the restaurant except the bar! Poor design! And while the staff is knowledgeable about the menu, they don't seem to love working there. We are looking forward to Uchi opening in Market Street! And Kokoro on the Waterway is a great example of high quality sushi mixed with beautiful design. Much better options at the same price point. read more
