About
One of Houston's most authentic sushi experiences, Sushi Miyagi is operated solely by Mr. and Mrs. Miyagi — an Okinawan-born sushi chef who has worked for over 30 years in his craft and named his restaurant so that other Japanese would recognize it as Okinawan-run. Fish is sourced directly from Japan, and the couple manages every aspect of the restaurant alone. The result is an intensely personal, high-quality sushi experience that stands apart from the city's larger Japanese restaurants. Coveted by Houston's Japanese expat community and serious food lovers alike, Sushi Miyagi is frequently described as an exception in a city where Japanese-owned sushi is rare.
Neighborhood & visiting
Sushi Miyagi sits in Chinatown / Alief, one of Houston's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
