Michiru Sushi

We came here around 6:30 on a Saturday evening, the first time in quite a few years (prior experiences had been rather average). Wait time for a table was about 20 minutes, so we opted to sit at the bar.Atmosphere was relatively upscale, and service was friendly and helpful.As appetizers we had the crispy rice with tuna and the martini shrimp. Then we had the Toro Special and Hawaii Twin rolls, the latter being our favorite. I also had the Japanese Old Fashioned cocktail, which was pretty good. Everything was well made, and overall we had a great experience.My impression is that there has been some productive restructuring in the years since our last visit. Both the menu and atmosphere have shifted upscale. Based upon this visit, this place has become our new favorite sushi restaurant in the greater Clear Lake area.

Okay, Okay...I can't ignore jumping on the compliment train as I have now been here 4 times and each time it is equally consistent in both table service and quality of sushi, sashimi and breadth of bar service. This is truly a gem of a dining experience and should not be missed.I'm not a 'roll' kinda guy so I cannot opine in this arena but I will go to my old regular barometer for sushi which is Uni (I know, I know I should find another barometer as this one is getting old) but I have had both their "Japanese" and "Cali" Uni and either or in my case both are an excellent choice as is Toro, Maguro etc. etc. Great food, great drinks and great service...what more can a Foodie ask for and Michiru delivers on all...BTW...it's not a walk-in place for if you do, you are likely to wait at peak times ...call...make a reservation otherwise you will miss a great dining experience.

Great music and exceptional bartender service who understands food allergies and made sure that I didn't have any issues being gluten-free and the fish was delicious and super tasty too. Came here to wait out traffic before heading home to Austin and very pleasantly surprised. Weird waitress though that didn't seem to know TABC rules and chewed out the bartender in front of her bar customers but she held her ground and followed the rules. Hope management talks to waitresses to not chew out bartenders in front of customers. Will come back for an Andy's roll.

All our food was so good!!! Everyone was really nice and polite. However, it took a little bit for our sushi to come out. The lighting and decorations were really nice and they had soft music playing in the background. The bathrooms were also really clean. Definitely recommend!

I guess after seven years I need to update my review here. I live in Atlanta and this is my third office in Pasadena and I always stay down on Clearlake at the NASA Hilton, and years ago I found this gem of a sushi bar.In the last three weeks traveling, I've been here three or four times had great service... Tonight was Teresa, who I will first say, I apologize if you think I was asking too many questions, and bordering creepy- but you read my mind on exactly what I wanted and you made me try Sea urchin, which I had a bad taste of years ago and I have not tried it again and you made me try it and it was fantastic! I ask a lot of questions on how you knew what I wanted whether you were married eat alone what your culture is... Yes from an old man It seems aggressive but I am a foodie. I'm a personal chef part time who will be retiring soon with my own place but I don't do sushi in my fusion cooking styles that I cook in Georgia. I don't make sushi rolls at home only sashimi but I like to see what different demographics are that love sushi and love the combinations, but they also know how to read their customers... so if I ask if you're single where you're from what you like it's to help me learn better my future ideas that I will be serving.So thank you! Your input tonight was where I needed to be after another long night of work and third week out traveling so I did distance myself from my colleagues as I want to continue to come here while they go to the touristy steak places, or other places, I would rather sit at the bar and eat fresh sushi from excellent chefs, and from a restaurant that gets the freshest fish and has a great team.For the last 12 years I've been coming down to Clearlake and Webster to stay while working in Oil as gas. I've been here more times than I have noted here. And twice I've had servers that have provided me with advice on rolls that are mostly fish combinations that are possibly different than what I'm used to which is mostly bluefin tuna and salmon in either sashimi nigiri or in a roll... Just great suggestions and this place gives it. The sushi is fresh. The service is impeccable. The chefs behind the counter are not rookies, and they only serve the best and their presentations are fantastic. I don't look at the cost. I look at the result. I am a sushi, fanatic, and this is where to go in Webster for sushi. No doubt about it the best around! And again, Teresa... If I asked too any questions, that's because I'm an old man and I wanna know how you read my mind lol. Everything you suggested was perfect into the restaurant... Kudos for the great team you have on board. I have never once had a bad meal here a missed item, a late drink or left without being completely satisfied. I sometimes can literally sit for hours keeping you guys there while I keep adding onto the bill which is not fair to the restaurant when I stay till closing because I was in the business and I know what it's like, but I tried to follow the guidelines so they can clean and get out of the restaurant on time. I can't tell you how pleased I am to find a sushi bar, close to my office with such talented help, fresh fish, great service, and great chefs. Highly recommend! All of the servers have been spot on and if you don't try this, you're missing out. Please don't order California rolls because they don't have fresh fish, -ask for suggestions and trust them. Again, I literally ate something tonight that in my mind I didn't want to eat again and my mind was changed. This is the sushi bar to go to for Pasadena or Webster and Clearlake. Enjoy! I certainly did and be sure to tip your sushi chefs, and your servers. We need them, so they stay open and can provide the quality of product service and satisfaction that they do. very highly recommend!

A nice place in Webster. The sushi rolls were very good, the gyoza were very good, the steak was okay. There were four in my party and we all enjoyed our meal. The ambiance was just shy of fine dining, appropriate for the area. The staff was polite and attentive.

It was just ok. Expensive and I've had better sushi. Service was decent. I probably won't return. There wasn't much to look at.

This was my first time coming to this establishment and I am very happy with my first experience. The food was amazing and came out in decent time. Kaylee was my server and she did a spectacular job. Will definitely come back.

This is my all time favorite restaurant. I have been going here since it's opened. The tuna dumplings helped introduce me to sushi! I love their spicy salmon roll, Michiru roll, Andy's roll and the Waikiki roll. They also have a great reward system!
