Hotaru Sushi and Hibachi

I decided to come by today to try out a new sushi spot. I ordered the spicy crunchy roll and my friend ordered the ace roll. The spicy crunchy roll was delicious! I loved the texture of the crunchy bits and everything tasted fresh. I tried my friend's ace roll as well. It's fried sushi which is a bit different but it was also delicious. I am so glad I found this place. I will definitely be back for more sushi and to try their hibachi!

Found this place on Yelp.. I'm a Huge Foodie !!We came for the first time. It's a small lil spot of it's beautiful in the inside "A Vibe" they play good music and the food was amazing. We got sushi and hamachi and All was AMAZING!! Will be back for a girls night.

Love to come during lunch and sit at the bar. Watching the sushi chef is a performance to be seen. He is fast, clean, and has finesse. Waitress was attentive and place is clean and quiet during lunch. Can get quite cold but not a huge deal. Ordered the Leon Springs Roll, Rainforest roll, and soft shell crab appetizer. Leon Springs Roll had perfect spice level and freshness of yellowtail. Rainforest Roll was delicious and refreshing. Soft shell crab has a beautifully sweet & crunchy texture.Special rolls are $20 average but super tasty. Worth it to me.

We popped into Hotaru for dinner recently, which was a very pleasant surprise! I've been on the hunt for a decent Sushi spot in the area for months, to no avail. Now I've got a solid spot!!!There was only two of us, so a spot at the Sushi Bar was immediately available. The restaurant is fairly small, but good things come in small packages right! Right!!!! You may experience a bit of a wait during peak times, I'd say it's worth it!I opted for the Sushi, while my guest went with the Filet & Lobster. Both were extremely good! The steak was cooked perfectly, as was the Lobster. We did end up waiting a bit on my Sushi as several orders were placed directly prior to our ordering. I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait for good food than have mediocre food rushed out to me. So be patient on your visit, it's worth it!I will DEFINITELY be visiting Hotaru Sushi & Hibachi when I'm craving Sushi in the future. Seriously people, I travel a lot and Sushi is my go to. Hotaru is the best I've had in the area and absolutely competes with some of the better Sushi I've had!

First time to Hotaru. Great first impression. Despite being in a strip center the interior is beautifully decorated. My visit was the week of the hard freeze in January and the restaurant was extremely cold. Unfortunately the restaurant floors are cement so I was so cold the entire meal. But figured I'd order something hot to warm me up. I ordered the fried soft shell crab. Admittedly it's been awhile since I've had it but it was just ok. The batter had a burnt taste to it, so I used the teriyaki dipping sauce. I then had the scallop hibachi plate. We had a group of 8 so that may have affected how hot the plates came out. Mine was just kind of lukewarm. The scallops were extremely firm. I've never had scallops that were that texture before. They weren't tough but they were unusual and didn't really have any flavor. To be honest my review almost tipped to a 4 star because the restaurant is clean, beautifully decorated and service was very attentive. But I wouldn't return just for the food. Granted I did not try the sushi so maybe that is their strong point.

Great food, great atmosphere and attentive server. We will be back. Had the spicy chicken hibachi.

The food is perfectly presented and very creative. The waiter was knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. It was expensive but very worth it, will return. Parking was easy .

I keep trying to give this place a chance and it is repeatedly terrible service. Although it would be great to have a sushi place near Fair Oaks, it helps if the food will ever make it to the table...which it does not. After waiting over 40 minutes everyone else in the party had already finished their food when we hadn't received the sushi roll that we ordered literally with the appetizer (my meal). When I asked to cancel the roll and get the check the waitress argued and said it was waiting on the bar, it was not, it hadn't even been started. Poor customer service, bad look, terrible service. It was only after we were then waiting for the check to brought that it was pointed out we were all sitting with empty glasses that had never been filled either. I highly encourage skipping this spot! Not worth the frustration...and I have a lot of patience.

We visited on a Saturday in May for lunch. Their weren't a lot of people, but I think they were closing in about an hour until they reopened for dinner. Our server was attentive, but the sushi chef was really slow. We heard him tell someone it was his last day, so he probably wasn't at his best. When the food did come, everything was great. The gyoza was pretty standard. My wife got a spicy tuna roll and I got a few different types of nigiri. The fish to rice ratio was spot on as was the temperature. They accidentally made an extra roll for someone and let us have it. The restaurant is in a small strip mall with plenty of parking

For the price I would have rather picked someplace else. Over priced and over rated. I have had better Sushi in H-E-B. The atmosphere is nice and inviting and the server was friendly. We waiting quite a while for our food.
