Fukuoka Sushi Bar And Grill

Summary: Delicious food and attentive service. I was craving some sushi the other day, so I pulled up Google Maps. There are two places close to me: a typical take-out deli sushi place in the tunnels and Benihana (which is well overpriced considering their declining quality). Fukuoka popped up as an option, but it is a thirty-one minute walk. I still considered it, since the restaurant bears the name of my grandmother's birthplace. I was thinking that if the place is nice, I would take her sometime; I don't want to take her out for dinner and say, "this place is named after where you grew up, and it sucks." The implications of that. There are no worries, however, as this place was pretty great. Despite being there for lunch, I ordered the dinner version of the Chirashi Bowl. I will say that I wish the selection of fish had more variety, but what I got was still in fact delicious. The fish tasted fresh, and I absolutely adored the cucumbers. Better still was the rice. As of lately, most restaurants have been neglecting the process of seasoning their rice; the seasoned rice is an integral part of chirashi (you wouldn't build a bookcase and say that the shelves are optional). Fukuoka has provided, by definition, a bowl of chirashizushi, and I have missed such pleasure for a long time. The sweet tea had reached the saturation point of sugar, and it was great. Sometimes I crave a sweet tea that delivers on its name; but if you (presuming that anyone has even gotten to this point of the review) don't care for overly sweet drinks, you may want to order the tea half-and-half. The staff was very attentive. They took my order promptly, and they ensured that I did not have an empty cup. From my brief experience, I highly recommend Fukuoka. I will be taking my grandmother there in the near future, and she's the judgmental one in the family.

Located at the Mekong Center in the midtown Houston area, Fukuoka Sushi Bar and Grill boasts a welcoming traditionally decorated atmosphere with delicious taste. Recommended by one of our great family friends, we indulged to a short trip to Japan taste. The Chef and his sue, quietly prepared the soon to be delighted goodies. While the servers softly glide through the small but well clean and organized restaurant floor. We observed a variety of wines and sake, yet we saved them for our next visit. Definitely the beginning of a new tasteful journey with Fukuoka sushi Bar and Grill for us.

Small restaurant with great service. The lunch special menu is totally with it. I had three maki rolls from the lunch menu. The Houston Roll was good. The fish were fresh. The roll was wrapped tight and neat. The Philadelphia Roll was typical. Good and fresh. As for the Tiger Eye roll, it was my favorite. The flavors were great. The roll was warm, mild spicy, and the soy paper wrap made it perfect. Miso soup came complimentary with the rolls. Miso soup tasted good. I also had cold sake to go with my meal. Yum!
