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

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

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. Wonderful attentive service and stellar recommendations. Beautiful presentations. Get the sake flight if you're indecisive or in the mood to experiment. The wagyu beef tartar with quail egg roll is just amazing. Like a delicious burger slider that rolls in your mouth and juicy flavors that won't go away. The seared wagyu nigiri and the fatty tuna nigiri were also delicious. read more

MF Sushi - Wagyu beef tartare with quail egg roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was so excited to eat at this place and it was so good, but the nigiri pieces were so small. I was actually thinking they were really cute kind of small. The price was pretty average for sushi places, but I've had bigger portions with those prices. Usually the fish coats my mouth, but because the pieces were so small, I couldn't appreciate the taste like usual. Despite that, the fish were all so fresh! My favorite was the otoro and mackerel nigiri. The lychee martini was really good! Not too strong and such a yummy strong lychee taste. This is a nice place if you're going on a first date and you really want to impress her. The atmosphere is romantic, but cultural Japanese vibes. To end the dinner, we got the best mochi! They had strawberry, green tea, and blood orange. The blood orange and strawberry were my faves! I loved that the mochi wasn't powdery and the ice cream inside was super creamy! read more

Came here on a Friday evening for their omakase experience. It's typically done at the sushi bar, but they were able to do a similar experience for us at a normal table. Course after course, artistically plated dishes came our way. There were 10 in total, and the most notable ones included lobster tempura, avocado balls with gold flakes, and wagyu which you cook on a hot mini-grill yourself. The only dessert they offer in the restaurant is mochi ice cream, and they have 4 flavors. We were absolutely stuffed and had to tell them to skip a sushi roll in the middle just to be able to complete the 10 courses. Service was perfect. The ambiance of this place is absolutely amazing - from the lights to the arrangement of the tables to the sushi bar, it was all very visually pleasing. Restrooms are nice and clean. Valet is complimentary. Would highly recommend! read more

So good. So very good. Lovely service. The waiter recommended fabulous selections. Parking is a little tight.

We came to celebrate our anniversary. What a gem in Houston! I have never tried such a fresh seafood and water ever. Absolutely everything was fresh, tender and mouth melting. For a long period of time I compared our sushi places with one such I restaurant in Chicago where I personally knew a chef who was learning how to do sushi in Japan and winner many competitions, and yes...this place beat the Chicago place hands down. Keep doing good job! read more

Freshest sushi in Houston!!!! This spot is perfect for a special occasion or if you're rich and fancy just on the day to day. We came here for a birthday dinner and went all out. We asked our waiter to bring out whatever and we had an amazing, memorable meal. We will definitely be back!!! Our table for 2 was close to $400; however that included 2 bottles of wine. Update: My thoughtful hubby made Omakase reservations for Mother's Day. It was our very first Omakase experience ever, but at highly recommend it. Wow!!! The bites were amazing and the fresh wasabi paste was made right in front of us, which I had never seen before. It's a show too!!! It's completely beautiful. We spent $500 for the two of us which included a bottle and a half of wine. read more

Worth the hype... the restaurant was busy even on a Tuesday with nice and not overly pretentious vibe. The restaurant is a little loud but mostly in a good way. Service was excellent helpful and patient. The cocktail drinks were excellent refreshing and not overly boozy... And the food was spectacular. Not cheap but the best bites of sushi I have had in Houston. The speciality nigiri choices were all phenomenal and the rolls we beautifully presented and delicious.

Houston is blessed with great sushi places :-) and we have had the opportunity to try some of them. Most recently we went to MF Sushi for the first time and were beyond impressed. We got their signature items, eggplant appetizer, cod fish and signature cocktails. I can say with confidence that their cocktails were among the best I have ever tried. The sushi was delicious and elegantly served. The server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. The only downside is the high price, as we paid the most I had ever paid for sushi. We had an amazing experience and will certainly go back (maybe next year though :-))... read more

This is some of the best sushi you can get in Houston...or anywhere in Texas really. Luckily, I only go here on business dinners because it's priceeeeeyyyy but it's SO FREAKING AMAZING! The service is good, reservations are very select, and the parking is okay if you go RIGHT when they open. Otherwise, you can valet. It's kind of dark in there so I don't take many pictures when I go but I'll dig around for some photos. The cuts of fish are beyond delicious and the quality is top notch. Some of the things I've had that are delicious: House Ginger Salad (get that extra dressing though) Tempura Sishito Peppers Bluefin Tuna Tataki Hamachi (the appetizer) Kampachi (the appetizer) Truffle Aoili Salmon Lobster Osaka Box - WOAH, unexpectedly amazing! A5 Wagyu Beef And the obligatory O-toro for dessert. I was also STOKED that they served Masu as well. One of my favorite nigiri fish! This place is top notch, know that before you go, and expect your bill to reflect that. It's worth it...treat yo'self. read more

It's not your local sushi bar. MF Sushi is an upscale restaurant with focus on quality food. MF does not disappoint with wonderful rolls And first quality fish. read more

Ugh. It pains me to give MF a bad review. I used to believe that MF was hands down one of the best sushi places in town. Unfortunately, my most recent experience with them was not so great. The fish quality was ok and nothing you can't get anywhere else. You can get double the amount of fish (same quality) for half the price at other places around town. There was a hair on one of my sushi pieces. Gross. Of course they remade it and apologized. Most places would have left it off the check, nope, not here. They also charged us a bit more for a roll (in addition to the price listed on the menu) for 'wasabi relish'-- we didn't ask for this addition, I think that's how it is made. It wasn't much, but I'm just not sure why they didn't put the true price on the menu to begin with. Anyway, it'll probably be a long while before I give them another try. read more

This restaurant was closed for a number of months due to COVID. I was delighted to find out they were open again. I took two of my friends who love sushi and we thoroughly enjoyed the nigiri, sasrolls, and specialty items on the menu. I highly recommend MF Sushi if you're looking for a cool spot and to enjoy some top of the line sushi. read more

Still the GOAT of sushi and omakase in Houston. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance so that I we could be seated in front of Chef Kinjo for the omakase tasting. I haven't been back in years due to life and kids, and having a 3 hour dinner really wasn't possible. Everything was A1 and perfectly done. Watching the master at work is just icing on the cake. You literally can't get fresher fish than what he gets delivered unless you are a fisherman making sashimi on a boat. You can taste the quality in the fish and the rice. The way it is cut and sliced is equally as important. It is an experience any sushi connoisseur must experience here. TBH it was better than any of the places that I had in Japan, and I have a pretty picky palate. The omakase is a bit long, and it is not cheap, but you get what you pay for in quality. I give it the coveted 5 pigs rating! read more

High quality sushi and well crafted specialty rolls/nigiri. The service is amazing and waiter was knowledgeable. The sushi chefs are highly skilled, we'll sit at the sushi bar next time to see their art in action. Hamachi appetizer was perfectly thinly sliced. Uni was fresh, creamy and delicious. Sweet shrimp, toro, salmon were all fresh. King roll was amazing, the mouse on top was really good. Wagu beef nigiri with quail egg was unique and very tasty. Also, the cocktails are top notch. Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Houston, highly recommended. Be ready to pay for the quality, worth the treat! read more

What a great establishment!!! The last time I had sushi in Houston was 5 years ago, at Uchi. These two are very different styles. MF has a more traditional approach with less fusion thrown in. After my delayed flight from NY, I needed a drink to take the edge off. Their lychee martini did just that! My friend and I did the chef's recommendations instead of choosing our own dishes. It wasn't their menu Omakase but it was amazing! Alot of the dishes chosen were market price so it may lead to a more expensive meal. Highlights were the king salmon, otoro, UNI and all the way at the end, the waygu beef. I was beyond satisfied at the end and recommend this place to anybody wanting high quality sushi fare. read more

I was really wanting to give this place at least a 4 star because of the reputation it holds as a restaurant, but to be honest, my personal experience last night I would say turned out to be a 3 star. The food and the fish were extraordinarily fresh as could be. The appetizer my boyfriend and I had (the Avocado balls) proved that at first bite. Everything we ate was beyond my standards of sushi and it was exactly why I wanted so bad to give the place a 5 star. But throughout the night, I started to notice the service wasn't as professional as I was hoping for it to be. As it was our first time here, we had asked our waiter to take us through the menu and he was very thorough and helped a lot. He was actually really great, but as the night went on and the people started to pour in, the place got hectic, the whole restaurant was loud to the point where I couldn't even hear my boyfriend who was sitting across from me. To be in such a nice restaurant setting and not being able to hear my boyfriend was a bit irritating but I knew it wasn't completely the restaurant's fault. At the same time, I feel like the setting of the tables were a little too close for comfort. As soon as the restaurant got busy, the service just depleted and it took forever just to get a hold of our server. This is understandable, and yet when we had asked another waiter who was a little more free about grabbing a dessert menu, he immediately dismissed us telling us that he'll have our server "deal with that" and then a couple minutes later, retorted that the dessert was Mochi and walked away. I get that the restaurant was very busy, but I've been to sushi places that have decent sushi with a much better atmosphere and service that made up for it. The setting of this place was just too chaotic and took way too long just for 5 nigiris to come out (basically about 25-30 mins. is actually what I timed one of our plates). So just out of pure frustration my boyfriend and I left still hungry and just went somewhere else for the wagyu steak and dessert he was waiting to order. My boyfriend had asked if I would want to come back again and I said I'd have to really want to come back, and so as a first impression, I probably wouldn't want to, but I would still like to in hopes of changing my review because the food was absolutely amazing, but the mood and the vibe of the restaurant was just to chaotic and seemed a bit unprofessional for me, at least for last night. read more

A serious challenger to Uchi. First visit - party of 3. Great space and parking on the street if you don't need to valet. Good selection of sakes and we had only one bottle ($66; a reference point in "damages"). We has so many items - cannot remember each item - and all very good to excellent. Note the American Wagyu (cheaper at $45 and supposedly "less fatty" than the Japanese version) was plenty fatty. Service was flawless. Overall a memorable meal but our gut (damages with tip was $410) is that it was pricier than Uchi (difficult to accurately compare as when you are ordering 10+ different items and fish prices change daily). Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Value 3/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Decor 3/5 Noise 4/5 (you can talk but a lively "buzz"; also we were in a booth that was quieter than the main floor) read more

High end sushi is my wife and I's favorite indulgence. We typically go here 3 to 4 times per year for celebratory dinners. Simply put, MF has ruined nearly all other sushi restaurants for us. We now hold MF as the standard for high end sushi, and from our experience the only other restaurant in the Houston area that could touch MF was Hidden Omakase. MF is simply the best. Every. Single. Time. read more

If you care about the food quality, MF is one of better restaurants for sushi in the city. With quality comes a higher price tag, of course. We stopped by on NYE for a quick bite and was very pleased with our experience. The following is my review of the dishes we ordered: Truffle aioli salmon: truffle is light, with a feint hint of some type of citrus or ponzu. Could have put more of this sauce. Portion is tiny but the salmon is absolutely tender and fresh. Avocado bomb with tuna: SKIP THIS! These beautifully crafted bombs/balls are touched up with edible gold flakes but it was so small and tasted like a mouthful of plain avocado; no other flavors detected here. Lobster tempura: delicious but a bit heavy on the spicy Mayo. Baked mussels: very heavy on condiments. Tastes good. Miso marinated cod: one of the best miso cod's I've ever had! Great texture and it's nice and saucey unlike some of the dried out cods I've tried at other restaurants. Japanese mushrooms: just okay. The concept is exciting as they provide you a mini tabletop charcoal grill to roast your mushrooms. But the dish itself was just alright. King roll: again, good quality tuna here with just the right amount of rice and condiments. Service was spectacular as well. Our server was able to answer every question we had regarding the menu. Thank you for a great overall dining experience, M**** F******* sushi!! :) read more

Honestly some of the freshest fish I've had in Houston. The sushi scene is truly on the come up in this city and MF is certainly one of the restaurants leading the charge. We got the Baked Lobster Tempura as an appetizer which was truly the best dish we got. The Truffle Aioli Salmon and the A5 Wagyu roll were both a LITTLE underwhelming, but the spicy tuna Osaka Box and Spicy Tuna rolls more than made up for it. The flavor combinations and quality of fish was so great. Also the box does not mean it's a Bento box either, just the shape of the roll itself! I would come back just for the Lobster tempura roll and I know it would soothe my soul. read more

I'd like to start off by saying I'm only giving this restaurant 4 stars because I can't do 3.5!! The restaurant is beautiful--really modern and bright. I love the sushi bar and how there is no separation between me and the chef. My boyfriend & I both ordered the chef's nigiri selection which was $25 for six pieces. The chef was kind enough to give us mostly specialty fish unlike the usual salmon, tuna, yellowtail etc. After doing the chef's selection, we ordered nigiri a la carte. My favorites were the ocean trout, toro, salmon, and madai. My complaint about this restaurant is the lack of friendliness from the employees. For this price point, I would expect some level of friendliness??? My boyfriend & I felt un-welcomed from the minute we sat down. The restaurant and its employees definitely give off a pretentious/uppity vibe.. they were not welcoming at all, which was really disappointing bc that would have given me a way better experience. While I did enjoy the sushi a lot, I most likely won't be returning to dine here. I'd rather spend money somewhere else. read more

Seriously. Best meal of my life. We did the omekase dinner on Friday September 15 and we were not disappointed. Every single dish was so intricately prepared and so beautiful as well as delicious. I got to try some dishes I've never had before... the jack stripe was amazing!! Service was great as well. Fresh wasabi ground whenever you want! Quick drink service and we were never left wanting for anything. The restaurant itself is pretty chic and modern as well. We did this for our anniversary dinner and I don't think we can top this one :) Also, just FYI the chef will stop early if you tell him you're full. Do yourself a favor and don't stop. read more

OMAKASE (prepare to stay for 3 hours) Our sushi chef greeted himself politely. everyone pitches in as a team to grab your empty plates that we previously licked off bc it was so damn good. The layout of the restaurant was pleasant- especially with the mountains in the back. It's a little crowded, so if you're sitting at the sushi bar, you don't wanna leave your purse hanging from your chair. OMAKASE -this whole process takes 3 hours btw Some of my favorites are listed... Extra fatty blue fin toro -when you take a bite, it melts in your mouth like you're biting into friggin butter dude. I'm drooling right now Mackerel -it isn't listed on receipt, but it's pretty soft and tasty. Avocado with gold flakes -gaaah damn this was so good, if it duplicates were served on a platter I would devour it. It was spicy, you get distracted by the flavor and don't even realize your eating avocado.. that's right The octopus -chewy and strong with that wasabi Eel -fresh to death, pleasant and tasty Blue fin sashimi -taste fresh - no fishy smell Some pieces of nigiri you get a stronger taste of wasabi, it'll shoot up noses of people who can't handle the heat! Again the process takes 3 hours, we were starving when we got there, and thought we were gonna be hungry as hell when we left. WRONG, we were so full- in a good way! And thinking to ourself like damn... how many more... the downside is you do have to wait since he is serving you in a group. Don't think you're special bc they do OMAKASE in a group. They also pick your seats for you before you arrive.. if you're running late a few minutes that okay because they're most likely running around getting everyone drinks ready and to prepare also. We met Sally L, she went to OMAKASE in Japan, and told us that they just serve everything on one plate/platter/ block and you just eat it from there. Here, they make it individually so you have to wait (unfortunately) or fortunately, but keep in mind everything is better fresh and made just for you! So that's the upside. This is ideal for a celebration, clap clap bravo. If you're here on first date trying to impress... you better find things to talk about for 3 hours!! Photos attached! Enjoy! read more

Exquisitely designed with a beautiful ambiance, MF Sushi is a great choice for an upscale meal. Though I definitely should have spent much more money than I did in order to have a truly fulfilling meal, everything I ordered was wonderfully fresh and high quality, and if I had $100 to spend on the omakase then I think it would be well worth it. I came with a group of five, each of us hoping to spend no more than $30, as we really just wanted to sample some dishes rather than splurge on this visit. I chose the salmon tataki, yellowtail roll, and snow crab nigiri. Everything I chose was delicious, perfectly prepared and so fresh. Though the tataki was a far smaller portion than I was expecting, it was full of amazing flavor - probably my favorite dish of the night. My friends who chose the MF sushi rolls probably got the best bang for your buck; for around $12, they got big beautiful rolls beautifully made at the sushi bar. If you're coming here for a moderately priced meal, that's definitely the way to go. Otherwise, go all out and get that omakase - I really don't think you will be disappointed! read more
