Himari: Elevate Your Sushi Experience in Houston

Tucked in the family friendly Stomping Grounds Food Court. Casual dining meets a high quality meal. We had an incredible dining experience at Himari! The sushi was exceptionally fresh and high quality—every bite was a delight. The service was phenomenal, attentive, and truly superb from start to finish. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the food and the customer experience. We can’t wait to come back for another amazing meal!

A Fantastic Omakase Experience at Himari We had the pleasure of trying the Himari Omakase Valentine’s menu last night, and it was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was beautifully crafted, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The experience started with edamame and lead into a tuna tostada, both fresh and flavorful, setting the tone for the rest of the meal. The Trufflaluffagus roll was a standout, combining rich truffle notes with delicate seafood. The Sake Nigiri and Kanpachi Nigiri, were incredibly smooth and melted in our mouths, and the meal ended on a high note with their caramel ice cream with a ginger crumble, a unique and delicious dessert. Of course, we couldn’t resist ordering our longtime favorite—the crispy tuna. But exploring the Omakase menu definitely introduced us to some new favorites that we’ll be ordering again! Himari continues to impress with its fresh ingredients, innovative dishes, and top-notch service. If you're a sushi lover looking for an elevated dining experience, this is the place to go.

Came in for quick lunch, good deal on happy hour (2-5pm), fresh ingredients, though the portion seems smaller than dinner serving. Friendly staffs.

The sushi here hits that sweet spot of upscale casual. You get quality fish that’s carefully prepared, even if the selection isn’t huge. Prices aren’t dirt cheap, but they’re far from outrageous. Cocktails were on the lighter side compared to others I’ve had. Overall, I enjoyed the food and vibe, perfect if you’re looking for something chill. Bonus: there’s Fat Cat ice cream and a mini bar in the food court here. The main chef here has worked at Uchi and his main spot is Aiko, which leans more towards finer and fancier sushi.

I came in after a long day of work and every single bite of sushi was so fresh and delicious I forgot all about work. This might be my favorite place in Houston to grab sushi now. The menu isn't huge but I'm sure that's on purpose and because everything is made with care and thoughtfulness. The atmosphere is very chill and the staff is all super nice. I will absolutely be back.

Everything thing I ordered was amazing. I gave a four star because miso soup or my infamous plum wine didn't make the menu. I love plum wine while enjoying my Maki Rolls. I did try an Old Fashion; the presentation was sufficient. I will be back for the Crispy Tuna and Yuzu Ebi Roll . I had to order a second round of the Crispy Tuna Roll. I also tried the Shaggy Dog and the Surf & Turf. I did enjoy both but they didn't make my favorites list. The fried sweet potatos was good as well. This spot is a hidden gem, nice, and clean. Everyone showed hospitality and the customer service was great! I'll definitely return to this restaurant. They do offer a happy hour menu from 11a - 5p.

Little sushi place in the new retail development on 43rd in Oak Forest. Food was excellent but we found service a bit lackadaisical and prices ridiculously high for the location and the lack of perfection. They had a few creative plates we enjoyed a lot, but the price level is the same as Uptown Sushi or Kata Robata despite being happy hours. The karaage was way too oily and at $6 a piece for a shrimp tempura, they were 50% more expensive than Kata Robata, arguably the best Japanese restaurant in Houston, and 240% more than Uptown Sushi (!!). I hope they revise down their margin expectations and focus a bit more on the customers and their wallet if they want to survive in the long run. It’s definitely the best sushi place in the neighborhood but so outrageously expensive that you feel abused. You can command high prices when the trifecta location, service and food is perfect. This was definitely not the case.

This was an absolutely amazing dinner and maybe the best sushi I've had in Houston. Our server (I believe his name was Jello) paid us close attention and gave us wonderful service and recommendations. The food was creative, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The omakase was a great value and good way to taste things I otherwise wouldn't have ordered on my own. This was a magical night for me personally. I've been recommending to all of my friends, and I can't wait for another occasion to go back!
