#1 sushi spot in houston for me. Nothing beats the service here and with the great staff. Have never had a bad experience here and the ambiance of the place truly helps the food settle. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now after hearing so much rave about it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The service was terrible and the sushi was subpar. I wish the waiter did a better job explaining what some popular items were and did a better job answering questions. I'd like to say I'd give this place another chance but there are just way too many amazing sushi restaurants to come back here. read more

This is one of the times I wish there was a half rating, because I'd probably give it a 4.5 star. Why am I rounding up then, you ask? Well, the service was impeccable, and that is something I value a lot. Most of the dishes we had were good. They were all fresh and well presented, but a few just weren't our "cup of tea". I wish I would have jotted down the names, but other than professional food critics, who brings a pen & paper and takes notes during dinner? :P The bottom line is everything was fresh and interesting, but some are more flavorful or less "fishy" than others. As for the service, it's top notch. The servers are very knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating. read more

A must-try for an excellent, upscale sushi experience in Houston! As a native houstoner, this was some of the best sushi I ever had in the city, and although it's got a price tag to match the cool, swanky ambiance of the restaurant, the quality, freshness, and carefully curated menu items back that up. My group and I started with the chef's sampler of nigiri, and it was absolutely incredible. Highly flavorful and carefully curated with a unique flavor combination for each piece, with fresh, buttery fish. We also ordered a variety of rolls and shared, which was definitely the way to go in order to experience more of the incredible menu. We got the house hot sake, which was super smooth, and I ordered a lychee martini which was very delicious and mixed well. Our server was knowledgeable and accommodating, and contributed to a great experience. I don't know when I'll be back, but I'll certainly try my hardest to make it happen again! read more

MF Sushi - Chef's Nigiri Sampler - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

While MF Sushi was one of the more decent high-end sushi restaurants I have been to, I probably can't give it more than 4 stars. I don't know if it's because I had a meal at a Michelin star sushi restaurant 10 days prior??? I had the pleasure to sit at the chef's table. If you are by yourself or with one or two other people, I would recommend this experience. For one, it is mesmerizing to watch the chefs at work. Second, they are so nice and cordial. It was fun to talk to them. In terms of food, I loved the truffle aioli salmon. The buttery texture of the salmon paired so perfectly with the truffle. Next, I indulged in an assortment of nigiri. While the nigiri was good, there was nothing that necessarily blew my mind per se (with the exception of the wagyu, which was phenomenal). Also, some of the pieces of fish didn't taste as fresh, but I guess that is the price I pay for going to a sushi restaurant on a Sunday. Unfortunately, I don't have a frame of reference for Houston in terms of where this ranks in terms of other similar restaurants, but it is a decent option. read more

MF Sushi is a Museum District sushi palace hawking high end nigiri, sashimi, and composed dishes. Though quality is second to none, prices are sky high. I came with my parents for a farewell dinner to Houston (Uchi is our usual go-to but I couldn't get myself psyched for it this trip). We got reservations about three weeks out for a Friday night. The hostesses are on top of things and the decor is minimalist yet luxurious. Seated in a booth towards the back with a nice view of the sushi bar and room. We largely did nigiri, with prices on common fish (tuna, salmon, etc) not too bad, around $5-6 a piece. They also have some very high end wagyu and toro options, as well as "signature" pieces with garnishes. We had maybe 6-7 pieces each. Quality ranged from pretty good to excellent. Rice quality solid. The "signature" pieces' seasoning occasionally overwhelmed the fish. We also did shishito peppers (good) and grill-your-own wagyu (melt in your mouth and fatty, even though this was the "less fatty" American version). Dessert was pistachio mochi, simple but delicious. Service was generally good, very attentive and knowledgeable. I was irked that when they were out of one fish we requested, he suggested a replacement that ended up being well over double the price. Sake was pretty expensive, starting around $60 for bottles. These are bottles I see in NYC fairly often (Born Gold, Dragon God, etc) and retail for $30 so not an awful markup. The total bill was a bit shocking, well over $130 a person after tax and tip. Prices can really add up here, though the quality is high. Overall, I found myself wishing that we had just gone to Uchi as they're working with similar quality fish for a better price and with a lot more personality, but I wasn't too disappointed. read more

Another dinner at MF, another quality meal. One of the most consistent and reliable sushi experiences in all of Houston for both food and service. The real highlight of this trip was the Baked Lobster Tempura dish that I had for the first time. Easily one of the best sushi appetizers I've ever had! That paired perfectly with the nigiri and rolls we ordered, including the tasty A5 Wagyu roll. The food took a little longer than I remember to come out, but the service was great once again. From the spot-on recommendations to the frequent check-ins, Kyle did a great job throughout our dinner. Looking forward to our next dinner at MF for sure. read more

MF Sushi is such a superb addition in the museum district. If you're looking for a traditional Japanese restaurant, it would be here. Call for reservations! MF Sushi will be a 5 star dining experience. I'll mention that you might have a wait even with reservations. My companion and I waited an additional 10 minutes after our reservation time, which wasn't bad. Parking options are complimentary valet and private lot. Upscale decor that is modern, chic, and welcoming. Once you enter the restaurant at the far left door, you are greeted by the waitress on your left. There is a full bar to your right. There is seating available in the walk-in area and at the bar. However, I would try to dine in the inner, main area or at the 14-seat sushi bar. I really liked the backdrop of the sushi bar. First timer? Not sure about the menu? When in doubt, choose Chef Kinjo's omakase meal. Table side or sushi bar. Order it and put your worries aside... let the itamae-san take control. Hai, our waiter, was knowledgeable and great throughout. He explained that the food will be continually served until you say "no". I'm not sure what the maximum is, but my companion and I stopped after lucky #7. We never used soy sauce because it just never crossed my mind. Everything was perfectly seasoned, but wasabi was slightly used on one occasion. 1. Mozuku Salad (4/5): Okinawan seaweed salad. This cold salad tasted like Korean naengmyun... Except 10x more slimy and wasn't from the yolk. I wasn't sure if I enjoyed the texture of this but tasted fantastic. It's supposedly one of the most healthiest dishes MF sushi offers and is light on the stomach. 2. Fresh Salmon Truffle Aioli (3/5): Nikiri sauce and shiso oil with cherry tomatoes. Great for a bar appetizer. 4 pieces of salmon. I wasn't extremely blown away, but the aioli added the missing touch. Can't really go wrong with this. 3. Baked Green Mussels (5/5): Baked in Japanese mayo, eel sauce, masago, and scallion. My mother makes this and whatever reminds of home is always a win. My companion agreed that this was his favorite when compared to the first two dishes we tried. You get a miniature spoon to pick these goodies up with. The five mussels are packed with flavor and goes well with eel sauce and masago. 4. I preferred the Shima Aji than the Hamachi. Everything just melted in your mouth. Sake was our favorite from this plate. Shima Aji (4/5): Japanese skip jack with lemon juice and shiso oil Sake (5/5): Fresh salmon with aioli sauce, truffle soy, black pepper and caviar Hamachi (4/5): Japanese yellowtail seared with truffle soy, black pepper 5. Delicious. That's all. I didn't expect to enjoy Otoro that much but did. Blue Fin Tuna (5/5): Toro Tuna (5/5): Fatty tuna Chutoro Tuna (5/5): Medium fatty tuna Otoro Tuna (5/5): Super fatty tuna with serrano pepper, dijon mustard, and caviar with truffle soy 6. Lobster Tempura Roll (3/5): Topped with shrimp and eel sauce. I wasn't too thrilled about this, especially the temperature of the roll. It was pretty warm which threw me off. It was decent and had to use wasabi for this. Would I order it again? Nope. 7. Duck Breast (4/5): Marinated with miso yaki topped with scallions on a hoba leaf. Presentation was wonderful and steamy from the coal. We had to wait about a minute before we indulged into the duck. Very tender with fatty meat in a few of the pieces. Every now and then, I would hear a loud chuckle and would find myself glancing at a chef with a distinct, handlebar mustache. Little did I know that I was looking at Chef Kinjo. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I will be back ASAP. Food is beyond description. read more

Amazing service, delicious food, great atmosphere. We went last night for our anniversary and had a great time. We order some appetizers, nigiri, and a hot rock eggplant dish. Everything was great. Our waitress asked if she could suggest some more nigiri and boy are we happy she did. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. We will go back!! read more

I've been to MF Sushi at least 5 times and I have never been disappointed!! It was my boyfriend's birthday and he had never been to MF before so i just HAD to take him here... Needless to say, he LOVED EVERYTHING!! We ordered the baked lobster tempura, a few things from the MF Signature Nigiri Sushi list, a few simple nigiri, and the Hamachi kama - there were so many items that we ate a few before I was able to take a photo!! But every thing was great - really fresh and if it was paired with certain ingredients or sauces, it was paired perfectly. The wait staff was all really nice and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants great quality sushi but don't be surprised by the high prices - with great quality comes higher prices but well worth it!! read more

Came here for the omakase and it was delicious. It was one hella expensive meal! I didn't get the wagyu beef but looking from the receipt we were charged for it. After tax and tip we spent about $200 a person for the omakase and one drink. I would probably stay away from the cocktails. I tried the wahaka but it was way too sweet and had to send it back. I ended up getting the Japanese old fashioned again and it tasted completely different from the first one I got when we were waiting to get seated. I really liked all the different otoro sushi they gave us. Every piece literally melts in your mouth. The salmon truffle aioli was a big hit. Live ama-ebi was delicious. I was a little disappointed in the live uni. It had a weird bitter after taste that I wasn't used to. I would definitely come back just to get a giant tray of otoro sushi and salmon belly. read more

I came here on a Saturday at 5:30 and made a reservation before hand so there was no wait. I think the place actually opens at 5:30 for dinner so if you come early, you probably don't need a reservation. However, by the time I left, the restaurant was packed. There is self service parking but there is also complementary valet parking. I came with a friend and together we spent around $180. High quality sushi paired with an excellent ambiance and exceptional service. The waiters are knowledgable regarding the food on the menu and friendly without being overbearing. The Chef's Choice Nigri was splendid. Each piece is carefully crafted and unique in taste. When I went, it was a nice combination of your classic, super creamy salmon belly and other more adventurous pairings such as the yellowtail with serano. I ordered a spicy tuna osaka box and in my opinion, this was not the greatest made roll, especially compared to the nigiri. The rice dominated the roll and the fish did not stand out. What did stand out was the Wagyu Tartare with a Quail Egg. This was honestly the best part of the entire dinner. The wagyu was slightly seared and seasoned with a subtle garlic flavor. The meat coupled with the egg melts in your mouth. This is a must get. Lastly I also ordered the mushroom robata and this was not that great. I'm a big fan of mushrooms but the sauce that was paired with this dish wasn't my cup of tea. TLDR: Great fish, great wagyu, great ambiance. This is what I would expect from a highly regarded sushi restaurant located in the heart of the Museum District. read more

So I've been here twice already and had way too much to even remember the names of each plate/dish/sushi. Oops! However, I can start by describing my omakase experience and what my favorite dishes were. Omakase at MF is definitely something you should try at least once. If you are a California roll, cream cheese, cooked fish, fried type of person, then never mind I don't recommend omakase lol. Cost ranges from $150-$175 depending on what Chef Chris Kinjo chooses for that day. My meal started off with appetizers then a series of different raw fish, small soup, more raw fish, uni hand roll, and small appetizers to end. About halfway through, my boyfriend, the guests sitting next to me, and I were all starting to feel full. Since the bill wasn't at the minimum $150/person, we had to eat more. The second part was the best part anyway! Drinks: Lychee martini - just the right amount of lychee juice with a slight taste of alcohol. Perfect girly drink! MF juice (non alcoholic) - so addicting! Orange, grapefruit, cranberry mixture that was not too sweet. I could have a glass every morning. I really enjoyed the: seaweed quail egg appetizer - sweet, creamy with a hint of spice from the wasabi root. The texture of the soup could throw you off a bit. Live Amaebi - I haven't had much sweet shrimp, but I can vouch to say this is the best by far. The head was perfectly fried, and I found myself trying to eat every bit I could. The sweet shrimp itself was amaaaazing. If you can order this without omakase, do it! Tuna - we got to try all areas of the bluefin tuna. Medium fat (chutoro), no fat (toro), and super fatty (otoro). Chutoro was the best with just the right amount of fat. The other fish were all great with the exception of tako (octopus) and squid orders. Okay... this is starting to get lengthy. Omakase is a one-time experience for me because $350+ for a sushi date is a lot!!!! Now that I know what's good and really good at MF, I will return to order just those. read more

2021 Update: Our 13 year old from the first review is now 17. We have continued our family dinners here, every 2 weeks, through the years. Now, MF feels like family - from Lane (manager) to Kyle, Van, and Mike (servers)...it's like having THE BEST MEAL offered by THE BEST PEOPLE who want to ensure you are absolutely happy every single time. The rest of the staff are all this way...the valet attendant, hostesses, and bussers. The food speaks for itself - Innovative, Brilliant, Delicious - every single time. The quality of the food, service, and ambiance is unparalleled. Incidentally, one of few restaurants that implemented Covid protocols beautifully, with generously spaced out tables, temperature checks, masks, sanitizer, etc. They inserted beautiful custom built wooden partitions, for added protection between tables, that blended in with the modern decor like artwork. An absolute class act. read more

I'm never too sure if such pricey food is worth it's value, but I can say for certain that MF sushi's quality is a cut above it's competitors. The place is pretty small, but it's very elegantly decorated. I especially liked how the sushi bar was just a completely flat, long table at sitting level. The sushi ingredients were kept in coolers inside of the table, and there was nothing obstructing the view of the chefs doing their magic. Feels as if you were sitting at a dinner table right across from them. Our waiter was suited up, very polite and helpful. The only kickback was that he tried to memorize the entire order for all 5 of us, which was not a good idea when each of us are ordering several different single pieces of sushi. He ended up missing some items/getting a couple wrong. I started off with my go to item at every sushi restaurant: calamari. Didn't like it as much because it was more soft and powdery rather than bouncy. I also ordered two pieces of the Wagyu Aburi. The slice of wagyu beef was pretty much raw with the top slightly charred, which was perfect. It was fat and juicy with a not too soft texture, but still had that grilled taste. No wonder it was $11 a piece...lol. Gf ordered her usual Otoro and Ama-ebi, which she went crazy over. I usually don't eat shrimp, but I had a slight bite of the ama-ebi and was just blasted away at how fresh, juicy, and sweet the meat was. The lemon concocted sauce it was drenched in really brought out it's taste. read more

MF Sushi is just simply the BEST in Houston. While people will mention Uchi or Kata Robata, to me those come secondary to MF. Although they all serve high quality sushi, each of the 3 restaurants serves a different purpose in Houston. MF Sushi's niche is more TRADITIONAL, authentic sushi. None of those fusion type twists that the more modern Uchi and Kata Robata offer, but I'm ok with that. MF Sushi is all about preparing the sushi in the traditional sense to heighten and maximize the freshness of each individual fishes' quality. I had the opportunity to eat here twice so far, and both times were outstanding. The service was quick, and the waiters eloquently explained each dish that was served to us in detail. Our favorites were all ordered "chef signature nigiri style," but included sake, smoked salmon, chopped Hokkaido scallop spicy, hamachi, kinmedai, ika, ebi, akamutsu, kanpachi, tako, unagi, shima aji, shime saba, ocean trout, uni A5 WAGYU BEEF, and last but not least their OTORO. I could talk all day about this restaurant, but if there is one thing you take away from this review, it's to order their A5 Wagyu beef tartare with a quail egg nigiri, and their Otoro, which is super fatty tuna. These 2 pieces of sushi are heavenly. The wagyu beef is the most concentrated beef flavor you can imagine yet as tender as can be, its like butter. The quail egg bursts when you bite into it, and helps the wagyu beef flavor cover your tongue in a blissful way. Then the Otoro is the richest, fattiest fish I've ever tasted. The marbling on the Otoro almost makes the fish look like a well marbled piece of beef, yet the flavor from the super fatty tuna is like nothing you can describe without trying it for youself, it left me speechless. Other notable mentions are their uni which we tried the Hokkaido, Santa Barbara, and Peruvian varieties, their hot unagi, and their whole Hokkaido scallop. Their "Ancho" was my favorite drink as well, which was made from Japanese whisky, shishito peppers, agave, and yuzu. Other menu items are worth trying as well, we just happen to be huge fresh nigiri fans. The baked lobster tempura was good, miso salmon entree was tasty, and the snow crab tempura or soft shell crab roll were a hit. The only thing we haven't tried yet is their famous Omakase because it requires special reservations. But we'll definitely be back soon for this life changing omakase experience. Thank you MF Sushi for exceeding my expectations! read more

I came here with my family last week while I was visiting Houston. This restaurant was beautiful- in a perfect location in Montrose by the Menil Collection. The architecture and decor was very simple and minimalistic, similar to traditional Japanese design. We started out with the most popular house cocktail (I forget the name, but with jalepeños.) We also had the smokey mezcal drink. I thought both were wonderful- but very, very sweet. For starters, we chose the lobster tempura (one of my favorites), the avocado balls, and several rolls. We probably ordered 4-5 rolls to share and overall, I felt that the rolls were disappointing and lacking flavor. The best part of the meal was the sashimi. I was a little sad because they were out of the uni (from the yelp pictures, served inside the actual sea urchin!), but we opted for the servers choices and the otoro. This was my first time having otoro and it was AMAZING. One of the best bites of food I have ever had- as it should be at about $10 a piece. Our server also told us about the chefs tasting- mostly sashimi I believe and roughly $130 a person. Since this restaurant is pricey anyway and because the sashimi was the star of the night, I cannot wait to go back and do the chef's tasting. Overall a wonderful night, and I cannot wait to be back! read more

What a wonderful place! Although I've heard amazing things about MF over the years, I'm not a sushi fanatic so I wasn't sure if I'd be wowed. I was excited when a few friends suggested it before an event at the Museum of Fine Arts, and I'm thrilled to say that MF Sushi exceeded all of my expectations. The restaurant was a little hidden in at first but it's just across from the Children's Museum. The valet was plentiful if you choose to drive. There's a beautiful, impressive entrance that leads you to a modern, chic bar and dining room. It's not a very big place so definitely agree with reviewers re making a reservation. We had a great booth and all of the details (chopsticks, plates, etc.) were exquisite. We started with a sake and some cocktails. The mojito tasted more like a vodka sour with a kick, which was perfect. My friends liked the mules and said they were pretty strong. We had a tasty and generous portion of edamame and ordered a few bites. Since we were headed out later, I just ordered two items but they were delicious. The avocado ball (with tuna) was divine. It came with two balls had a bit of horseradish and truffle topping that was fantastic. I also had the shrimp tempura roll that was perfect, generously sized and filling. I saw a lot of comparison reviews to Uchi and I have to say it's a totally different concept and experience. In my opinion. MF is more of a traditional Japanese, clean and fresh focus without the gimmicks. Our server was great and attentive without being annoying so we lucked out. We were also in a bit of a hurry to get to an event and the timing on everything was perfect. It was a bit pricey for Houston, but I felt it was worth it. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I can't wait to go back and try more delicacies! read more

It was my first time dining in here. Upon walking in, the restaurant is very modern and sleek. Our server, Alan recommended me the Ancho (cocktail), and i'm usually not a fan of "spicy" drinks but the flavors balanced so well that I had to get a second one. He also gave us plenty of recommendations for our dinner and everything was superb. From drinks, to the appetizers, to the fish, and lastly the dessert, everything was simply amazing. We will be back. read more

I've heard good things about their omakase but it is only available Tues/Wed/Fri/Saturday, so I opted to just pick and choose from the menu. - Their dishes are comparable to Uchi, especially the hamachi dish. - The umeshisomaki (plum and mint) was nothing like I'd experienced before - refreshing and light! If you like trying new things I would highly suggest it! - Also got the duck breast - it's cooked over coals which is fun, but I wasn't as much of a fan of the flavor. A little gamey and didn't have a lot of seasoning. Would like to come back and try the omakase, but if I'm honestly speaking I think it does not beat out Uchi. Either way I think it's worth a visit! read more

Came here one evening and it was a full house. Thank goodness we made reservations. I heard great things about this place and always kept it on my to-go list for sushi, but never ended up going. THE ANCHO- japanese whiskey with agave, shishitos, and hints of yuzu I really liked this drink. It had a nice spice to it and some citrus notes from the yuzu. The whiskey was bold, but smooth so the combo of flavors was unique and complex. TRUFFLE AIOLI SALMON- wasabi, relish, cherry tomatoes, and shiso oil This dish was very light and fresh. I love the sweet acidity of the cherry tomatoes with the fresh salmon and the light earthiness of the micro greens. SUSHI- smoked salmon, fresh salmon, scallop, chutoro, o-toro, and king salmon The SMOKED SALMON was smooth and smoky. The FRESH SALMON was smoother than the smoked salmon. It had an oily texture and tasted sweet. The SCALLOP was very fresh and the texture was soft, but not rubbery. The CHUTORO was fatty and smooth. The super fatty tuna, O-TORO was divine! I thought the chutoro was tender and soft. The o-toro was even better and fattier. The KING SALMON was very oily and smooth. It was so soft that biting it wasn't necessary, but it didn't fall apart either. The flavor was very fresh and sweet with a hint of a salty flavor. SIGNATURE NIGIRI SUSHI- sake, o-toro The SAKE has fresh salmon with nigiri, truffle aioli, pepper, and micro celery. The salmon was already fresh, but with the addition of various ingredients, it heightened the flavor above just freshness. The O-TORO was super fatty tuna with nigiri and fresh wasabi. I love all types of fatty tuna and it was so smooth and light. It was like butter that melted in your mouth. MISO SOUP- with scallions, tofu, and seaweed It was a simple miso soup, but it didn't have much tofu in it, pretty much just soup. The flavor was okay. It was more on the bland side. SALAD- grilled yuzu octopus salad with wasabi vinaigrette I didn't like this salad very much. The octopus was kind of rubbery in texture and the wasabi was overwhelming. I didn't taste much yuzu, but it would've been the perfect combo with the wasabi if there was more yuzu flavor. TORO OSAKA BOX STYLE- red tobiko, scallions, and eel sauce This dish was very simple, but the toro was so delicate and tender. It was sweet and light, but so fresh. SPICY YELLOWTAIL- cucumber, salmon, yuzu tobiko, and avocado Another fresh roll. It didn't have much spice to it, but it was really fresh. I really like the addition of the yuzu tobiko because it added a hint of texture and some citrus flavor to the roll. SPICY TUNA- cucumber, seared yellowtail, lemon, masago, and scallions This was a really good roll. I love any rolls with lemon and this was very refreshing. The lemon really complemented the seared flavor of the yellowtail and the freshness of the tuna. A5 WAGYU BEEF- asparagus, onions, shredded chili, and miso tare The flavor was meaty and smoky. I love the addition of the crisp asparagus and the sweet onions. It felt like I was eating a tender steak with all the great sides. MOCHI- strawberry dark chocolate, mango, and guava I really like these flavors. The STRAWBERRY DARK CHOCOLATE was sweet and rich. It was the perfect combination of fruity and decadent. The MANGO was very fruity and strong, but my favorite was the GUAVA. It was so refreshing and light, but still had a great sweet fruity taste. Everything is so fresh here. I really love the quality of sushi that's served. I'll definitely be back to get more. Service was great and food is very tasty. read more

first impression - plywood seating in small booths that are not comfortable - upgraded to a regular table - minimalist interior with nice lighting - not a fan of the waiter offering to select an order our entire dinner based on our general likes - special cocktail menu was good and priced per a high end restaurant - 8 club sodas for $24 was ridiculous especially if you're ordering cocktails - small portion appetizers - the ancho - stiffed pepper - uni nigiri one piece was half serving size comparatively $18 - shrimp tempura was more fried vegetables than 4 pieces of shrimp - not a fan fried eggplant - charged twice for one order - overall the rolls typical for the high end price nothing that we haven't had as good or better elsewhere - lastly the service wained halfway-through our dinner... ps - went for birthday celebration- don't expect them to do anything special read more

Wagyu aburi with the egg yolk maybe my favorite roll of any sushi place, Ancho is for sure my favorite drink of any restaurant. hamachi is good. Wagyu hot rock also very good.

Our experience at MF was pleasant. We were able to get reservations the same day, and sat near the chefs. The ambiance was quite nice and the service was superb. We ordered a variety of apps in additional to a selection of nigiri and sashimi. We would have liked to try their omakase, but they are no offering it until they are back to full capacity (right now they are at half capacity due to covid). So, with the waitress's help, we tried our best make our own omakase. To be honest, the sushi did not blow me away. I felt that the fish lacked some freshness. A few were slightly on the dry side. The madai was one of our favorites, as well as the shima aji. I enjoyed the A5 Wagyu tartare aburi, topped with a quail egg. Overall, the food was good but for the price we paid, I was expecting more. Our check came to $250, and we were still relatively hungry when we left (which never happens!). read more

Best sushi place I've had in Houston! I love this place. MF stays very authentic and fresh, you can't ask for any more. I went here for my anniversary to try the Omasake (Chef tasting). The hostess told me it would range from 180-250 per person. That was already a surprise, but for 20 courses, I thought this should be worth it. If you love fresh fish like me, you'll definitely enjoy this tasting as much as I did. My only complaint would be each course only gave you one piece of fish. These fish can be ordered on the regular menu. I thought I could have just ordered these on the menu and have had our own intimate table. It was nice watching the chefs at work, but again, it was our anniversary and a private table would have been much nicer. The chef tasting included fish such as uni, salmon belly, toro belly, mackerel, etc... The chefs were very nice and explained what we were eating before eating it. Overall, this was a nice experience and you are getting great quality ingredients for the price you pay. read more

Amazing, one of the best sushi places in Houston. Every dish was literally from heaven. Came here from a recommendation from a local, made reservations for that evening and had no wait whatsoever. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always on top of it. Started off the meal with the baked lobster appetizer and it was so good! My work colleague I was with said he would have licked the plate clean if he was at home. Next we ordered the chefs special unagi with toro as well as their wagyu... each bite was as delicious as the next. The little flavors and attention to detail was not missed. Wanted to make note that I do love Uchi as well, it's the spot to be seen but MF sushi is the place to eat sushi! Overall would highly recommend MF sushi and this will be my go to spot anytime I am in Houston. read more
