I’ve been living in the area for 12+ years and I’ve never been to this restaurant till last night. The place is small yet very cozy and the decor sets the mood for a very intimate dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was amazing. I will definitely be back.

Relaxed and peaceful environment for how busy they can be. Great place to try some new food! LOVE THE TONTORO!! 😋🤤😋 Always start with the Avu-bomb. We also got their tempura veggies which were quite good 👍🏼 See you soon 😁

Came here during my lunch break, I was craving sashimi.. the service is amazing, every body was so friendly! The chef prepared a really beautiful plate for me, the fish was fresh, and the miso soup tasty!

First time ordering from this place and let me tell you...it's Awesome!!! It's a small restaurant with a friendly, cozy atmosphere. We ordered to go. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki which included white steamed rice and veggies. We also ordered the Beef Teriyaki which also came with steamed rice and veggies. Finally, my brother ordered the All Combo Fried Rice. That included chicken, beef, shrimp, seafood mix, and veggies. Food tasted great and was nice and hot. The person who took our order was so friendly. I'm definitely coming here to dine in. I recommend this place 10/10. You won't regret it!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced and generous portions. Many sushi restaurants will give you a small piece of fish with a large hunk of rice, but this place is the opposite. You get a large piece of fresh fish on top of a modest amount of rice. Their house soy sauce was delicious, best I'd ever tasted. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food and service are great. The price is very decent as well. I’m a fan of Japanese food, especially sushi. This restaurant is on my list now. The portions are big compared to other restaurants. I would recommend bake scallops one since it’s so.....fresh and delicious, everyone loves it. The waitresses are nice and attentive. Will go there again soon.

This cozy, family-owned Japanese restaurant delivers an authentic dining experience with thoughtfully prepared, flavorful dishes. The warm and inviting atmosphere enhances the overall experience, making it an excellent choice for those seeking genuine Japanese cuisine.

Tonight is three stars. The beer was cold, the vegetable tempura was fresh, but the katsu ramen... The thing I was really craving was a miss tonight. I was expecting fresh noodles, but I would venture a large wager that the broth and noodles were instant. The chicken katsu on top was ok, but the whole soup was underwhelming and not good enough to finish. Wait staff were attentive and friendly. I'll be back, just not for the ramen.

I’ve been coming to Hikari Sushi on Hwy 6 for years—always fresh, consistent, and well-priced. The lunch specials are a great deal (see pic!). I usually get the Shaggy Dog Roll ($13)—crispy shrimp tempura with spicy mayo and eel sauce. Sushi Combo A is another go-to: 6 pieces of nigiri and a California roll for $18. I also like to add the agedashi tofu for just $5.50. Their poke bowls are also excellent—fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned ($12-$16). Tips: • Come during lunch—prices are hard to beat • Staff is always friendly and welcoming • If you order to-go, they often include free miso soup! Definitely one of my favorite local sushi spots.

UPDATE: During our latest visit on July 22, 2023, the cuisine was quite underwhelming and much worse than expected. The sashimi didn't even taste the same anymore. While it would be rash to pass judgement because of this, at the very least, it shows that Hikari has all the same problems as Asakusa in Fort Wayne: A place that can be good, but is wildly inconsistent. As such, I have to knock this place down to the tier of "below expectations". ---------- ORIGINAL REVIEW ---------- Cheap and good sushi in HOUSTON? No freaking way! So I used an UberEats promo to get myself an Avobomb and a sashimi combination on the affordable, fully expecting suburb-class sushi. After all, this summer's been hell on the sweats, and I really needed some cold food to cool my tongue. And lo and behold they actually brought me the gouda cheesefish (what I call good hamachi). The only other place I've been to in the U.S. that has gouda cheesefish is Sushi Ukai in the great Chicagoland. Now, is it the best sashimi I've ever tasted? Heck no. I'd be kidding myself to suggest that it's in the same class as Sushi Ukai or Sushi Hokkaido Sachi in Saigon. But the fact that it's even close is already quite commendable, considering how this set is like $2.25 per piece, UberEats sale notwithstanding. Each piece is also cut quite long and thin: Big, yet easy to digest, unlike the usual blocks of coldwater wrapped in protein fibers that so often adorn the prime real estate of American strip malls. You see, a good piece of fish should have its own unique, distinctly defined flavor. One may think that raw fish would taste like freshwater for the most part, which is true in any place named "Sakura" or "Fuji". However, in actuality: salmon should taste soft and creamy, tuna bold and savory, escolar smooth and buttery, octopus fresh and chewy, albacore sharp and sardinish, tai (red snapper) like nothing at all, and hamachi (yellowtail) for some reason tastes like gouda cheese. All of which describe the sashimi set at Hikari perfectly. A light down the infinite highway of Houston, indeed. ("Hikari" means light, by the way.) Oh, and uh, the avocado bomb is good too, I guess. It's one of those American-style over-engineered and deep-fried appetizers that I enjoy in a vacuum, but would rather not write much about. TL;DR Pretty good feesh.

Probably learnt my lesson for picking a random place for lunch because I was so hangry! Honestly, food wasn’t so bad but service was clearly their biggest issue. It’s a small mom and pop shop so I figured it would be friendlier but kinda got the. Cold shoulders from the 2 waitress that day. When we walked in, it was supper dark in there! Rather gloomy and depressing looking. As we sat, waitress kind of just walked off. Then finally came time to order, she didn’t seem to write down any of our orders. So after placing our order, she legit ask “so what was your order again” holy cow.. I was like in disbelief.. Didn’t you just nod and say okay to what we just ordered and now have to repeat ourselves again?! WOW unbelievable. So 10 mins gone by, another waitress comes over and kinda just randomly placed two soups and two salads down. We didn’t order them. miso soup was okay, salad was different. Extremely tangy. Barely touched it, just placed it aside. Oh well no explanations. Food was mediocre. Spicy udon wasn’t very spicy and the noodles were too chewy. A little too al dente for me. I enjoyed my spicy chopped scallops because you really can’t mess that up! But the Ice Roll was horrible. It was nothing like the description or the picture. It was like eating a sweet dessert more so than a sushi roll. Horribly disappointed. So I had waved down the waitress so I can order something else to eat. Well bc frankly, at that point I only ate 2 pieces of scallops.. She was upset that I didn’t like the roll. Even though it was voided off the ticket, she was not kind about it. So after that fail attempt at sushi, I just ordered shrimp tempura..I figured it would be accompany with some rice or veggies but nope. Just 4 pieces of shrimp and tempura sauce. $12 is quite pricey for 4 pieces! It tasted fine. Well I left very disappointed and still very much so hungry. I went to Burger King afterwards.. Yeah #fail
