Finding the right sushi place is tough. Some restaurants are too loud, the sushi isn't the best you've ever had or way over priced for the quality and most are just mediocre. This place is unlike the others. The owner and his waitstaff make you feel like you are in their home, serving up some high end sushi pieces, hand rolls, and delicious udon noodles. Best part? the quality to quantity ratio is literally perfect. Head here for lunch during your break at work or for an early dinner. 2808 Milam St #C, Houston, TX 77006 / (346) 406-4832 Monday - Sunday 11:00 am - 10:00 pm

About Houston

Houston is a city living in opposites. It’s flashy and understated, brazen and calculated. Houstonian’s love to live between those lines: one night you can go to the opera then eat tacos, and the next night you can go to the rodeo then drink the rarest champagne. We hope that while you’re here, you learn to embrace all sides of Houston, because that’s what makes it unique and one of the most fascinating cities in America today. In our guidebook are some of our favorite picks hand selected for the Lodgeur traveler.
