Quick in cheap sushi joint in Chinatown. This place is counter service where you get 5 percent off if you pay with cash. Had the beef bowl, Philly role , and 2 piece of salmon. There’s also free miso soup and a red bean dessert that’s free at the self service area.

Great sushi with very good pricing. The sushi here is very fresh and they are very quick. While the situation is a little different here with having to seat first them go up and ordering the food at the cashier. They do bring the food out very fast and they offer free miso soup when dining in. I will be looking forward to coming back here when in China town..

We’ve been coming to this little Japanese spot in Chinatown off Bellaire for almost 18 years now—basically since before we got married and had kids. The setup is simple: order at the counter, grab a table, and help yourself to water, utensils, and one of my favorite touches—the complimentary miso soup. They keep a pot out for everyone, and it’s always a nice way to start the meal. Prices are very fair and the value is excellent. Food here has always been consistently delicious. I’ll admit the sushi rolls aren’t always perfectly proportioned, but they never miss a beat flavor-wise. On our last visit we spent just under $50 for myself, my wife, and one of our sons. I had the shrimp tempura entrée with rice, while my wife and son enjoyed a mix of sushi. I don’t personally eat sushi, but judging by their smiles, it hit the spot. The only downside for me are the napkins—they’re those super thin ones that don’t really do the job. But that’s a small gripe in the big picture. Overall, this is one of those tried-and-true places that keeps us coming back again and again.

Our absolute favorite sushi restaurant in Houston. It’s 100% worth the drive. The sushi and sashimi combo is amazing!!! Portions are very generous and prices are excellent. Their complementary miso soup is also delicious.

Sure! Here’s another version of a 5-star review for Hokkaido Bellaire: ⸻ Always a great experience at Hokkaido Bellaire! The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming—they truly make you feel like a valued guest. Service is fast, but never rushed, and the food is consistently delicious. The sushi is fresh, the portions are generous, and everything is beautifully plated. Whether dining in or taking out, this location delivers both quality and comfort every time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for solid Japanese cuisine with top- tier services.

This just became my new favorite restaurant in Houston. Sushi and udon soup was amazing and a great price. Free self serve miso soup, red bean soup, and tea. All of the workers were extremely kind and the atmosphere was great. Decent amount of tables and plenty of parking. Can’t wait to come back!

I think that most would not give a 5 star service to this because it's different. You order fist them they deliver it. After we ordered the food was there fast. I LOVE SUSHI. This place did not disappoint. We went with our family of five and even though not the ultimate place to take your kids wasn't bad. Would be a great place for a date.

We like to come here for sushi that doesn't break the bank. They have good quality for the price. You do get a little bit of a price break if you pay by cash. You order at the counter here and they usually have a line. It can go fast or slow depending upon the people ordering. The person taking the orders is usually pretty efficient but people don't seem to order quickly. They have a paper menu that you can check off the rolls you want and hand to them, but not everything on the menu is on the paper order form. I like the sashimi don bowls. They just changed the name of it but it is the same as before. All of the rolls are good. We also like the tempura. If you order the meal, it comes with rice and is a larger portion but you can order the appetizer version if you don't want as much. The price difference isn't too much so I usually order the meal. It is self serve water, tea, bowls, soup, and red bean dessert. Sometimes when it is very crowded, you may have to wait for clean cups or bowls. We like being able to self serve so it is not a problem for us. Taste wise - everything we have had tastes fresh and portion sizes are good. This is one of our favorite places to go for sushi.

Considering the price you pay, this place is a steal. Fish tastes fresh, never had any complaints about it. Table turn over is quick; folks are in and out within 20-30 minutes so you never need to wait too long. Fairly priced, and the food came out in under 10 minutes after ordering.

Food was good and service was fast considering the amount of people that were there. It was pretty packed, which is a given since it was a weekend and we went for dinner. I tried the salmon teriyaki with rice, as well as the crazy spider roll. The salmon teriyaki was delicious and the salmon was cooked to perfection. Light and airy, not over done. The crazy spider roll didn’t taste like it has what was supposed to be inside it. It was supposed to have soft shell crab but there was something crunchy in the roll and it tasted like slightly burnt shrimp tempura. I feel like they accidentally put the wrong meat inside. It wasn’t too bad I still ate it, but just not the right sushi I ordered seemingly, and tasted kinda burnt. The seasoning and sauce on the top was what I ordered, and it look like a crazy spider roll from the outside though. Just not the same ingredients on the inside as what was listed on the menu. Overall decent area, just make sure to check your roll to see if there’s no mixup when your order arrives.

Really good sushi, fresh, good yellowtail and rice is nicely cooked, the soy bean paper was good as well. I was impressed with the size of the sushi for the price got 4 rolls and 2 pieces, plus some chicken skewers that were tender in a ponzu sauce.

The place has high reviews only because the prices are unbeatable and they have complimentary (bottomless) miso soup… $20-30 per person for a full sushi meal is hard to beat. But the food has just mediocre taste and flavor. Would describe it as - fast food sushi place. Nothing tasted worth coming back for me The atmosphere is dull and even slightly depressing
