Hido Japanese Grill & Sushi

MY REVIEW: Good food, good service, and good sushi chef.

Two areas for improvement: cleanliness and sushi quality.

The whole restaurant including the ceiling and vents could use a good scrub down.

The sushi chef seems very talented, but what he has to work with is average at best.

I could become a regular with improvements in both areas.

MY REVIEW: My wife and I have not been here for years and decided to go for lunch a few months ago. We had the Hibachi. The food was so good that we have been back twice. The chef is always entertaining and the lunch prices are great. This time it was only my wife at the table but they treated us like royalty. Highly recommended.

MY REVIEW: This used to be one of my favorite restaurants 5 years ago. I recently moved back to the neighborhood so I thought to try it out for my fiance's birthday. After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit worried since my fiance is some what of a "sushi snob." We sat down at a hibachi table. I ate Hibachi chicken and he ordered sushi. It was fantastic. The hibachi was just as I remembered it. Although the place wasn't very crowded, the chef was energetic and funny. The sushi was very good and fresh. The pieces were completely covering the rice as they should and the sashimi was just right. My fiance was pleased so we will be going again!

MY REVIEW: This has always been one of our family favorites (we have been going here for several years and are loyal customers); We come in for Sushi most of the time but sometimes are in the mood for the Hibachi Grill. When we come in for Hibachi, we have a favorite Hibachi Chef (Blue Hat, Black "tie") whom we always seem to get lucky enough to prepare our meal for us. Our family has several pictures of the Chef and our daughters and friends together! Unfortunatly for everyone at our table the other night, we had THE WORST waitress on EARTH! She was abrupt with everyone, could not manage to get anyone's order correct, etc. Our Chef had to leave the table in the middle of preparing our meal to "track her down" to have her come to the table as everyone's glasses were empty. I could tell that he too was frustrated with the total lack of respect she had for her customers and lack of service because he did not "perform" the onion volcano or the shrimp appetizer, but seemed to want to move on to the next table and "be done with it". There were two other couples at the table with us who told us how bad their previous visit had been with this waitress. But they came back again. Will we go back? You Betcha! Because we have had so many wonderful dining experiences here until this visit. Talking with our table mates we all decided that Hido is a fabulous restuarant with one VERY UNPROFESSIONAL waitress, and next time we are seated, if she comes to the table "barking at us for our drink order, and what do you want to order for dinner", we will simply leave the table and wait for another table!

Our family's favorites are the (2) Calamari Dinners (sub Miso Soup and add an order Edame), Filet and Shrimp (with an order of salmon sushi), and my little vegetarian always orders Miso Soup, Hibachi Fried Rice and Sauted Mushrooms (note to waitress, NOT sauted vegetables, and NO they are not the same price!)

MY REVIEW: I have to admit that Hido has a great atmosphere with great appetizers and a friendly staff, but their sushi isn't the best. They don't have a large variety of rolls or hand rolls. Also, I like my sushi a little more spicier, and every time I request it to be spicier it never is. In addition, I tried their hand rolls before, and the spicy tuna was not spicy at all and the tuna was cut into HUGE chuncks. I hear that a lot of people like to come here and I don't understand why. The food's not that great and it is over priced. I suggest T*enshi Japanese noodles and sushi over on Jones road and fallbrook!

MY REVIEW: It's nothing to write home about. The food is overpriced and you don't get very much for your money. The vegetables that they give you with the hibachi orders are 90% onions and the steak was dry and the shrimps were well... shrimpy. Although the sushi rolls were very good, you can get the same amount for a cheaper fare elsewhere. Our server although attentive was very forgetful. I may give this place another change.

MY REVIEW: I liked the Habachi our food was great and the service is excellent. Our party had a good time. The Shushi could be better. If you want entertainment and staight Jappanesse food then I would reccomend this place. If you are looking for Shushi then I would strongly reccomend T*enshi on jones rd.

MY REVIEW: been there 2 times before sushi was ok little high priced and at the hibachi table they gave most of a foos to another person i got very few peices of steak and shrimp i ordered. my wifes food was still kinda raw and barley got a cup of fried rice as the family across from us the plates and bowls were overflowing. i would not suggest going there for fresh good food go to t*enshi or m*atsu for a cheaper price and better food

MY REVIEW: My husband and I luve this little place! It is a lot bigger than it looks- has two hibachi area that are hidden in addition to large room...a sushi area and sushi bar upfront! The first time we had sushi only and decided to keep in mind for the hibachi. Then we went there for my husband's birthday. We had to wait of course (Saturday night) but we didn't mind and it was worth it. THe hibachi chef put on quite a show for 4 year old- she didn't want to leave. He made her feel like she a part of everything, she had chopsticks and her own little plate! He even did a fire volcano and tossed shrimp at her to catch! Fantastic, entertaining and everything was so delicious! The sushi is fresh and great also. I would eat here every weekend if we could afford too! However, prices are not bad at all and very comparible to nearby japense steakhouses!

MY REVIEW: My husband and I are sushi addicts and Hido is far and above the BEST sushi in Houston. The New York Roll and the Crunch Roll have not been matched by any other place we have tried. The salmon is always fresh, and the spicy scallops and unagi are also some of our favorites. Service is always great.

MY REVIEW: My husband and I moved here from North Carolina and we had been looking for a Japanese Steakhouse. We went to several and weren't impressed until we found this place. It is similiar to K*obe's in North Carolina. The meat is sooo tender and juicy. The hibachi rice is awesome. We love it here and eat here often. The staff is always friendly and helpful, very clean.

MY REVIEW: The shrimp tempura was terrible. Some strange crust on the shrimp that wasn't tempura at all. Blech. The grilled shrimp from the hibachi was awesome. Stick with the hibachi items. Pricey but fun with my friends although a bit awkward sitting right next to a young couple on a date.
