Best Sushi in Richmond, TX: 7 Sushi Bars and Japanese Spots

The best sushi in Richmond, TX is spread across three roads: West Grand Parkway South, FM 359 and FM 1464. Fuji Sushi & Grill at Waterview Town Center is the pick for a serious sushi-bar dinner, Akashi Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar on Grand Parkway has the most ambitious fish list, and Ninja Japanese Cuisine on FM 359 is the playful neighborhood favorite. We verified seven sushi bars and Japanese restaurants open in Richmond as of November 2026.

Here is the fun part: two Richmond sushi menus, at Ninja and at Sushi Hana, serve a deep-fried jalapeño stuffed with snow crab and peanut butter. Ninja Japanese Cuisine also named one of its rolls after its own road, FM 359. Richmond sushi is suburban, generous and a little bit Texan, and that's the charm.

Where does this guide count as Richmond?

We include the City of Richmond and the unincorporated Fort Bend County communities that use a Richmond mailing address (ZIP codes 77406, 77407 and 77469), such as Aliana, Waterview Town Center and the West Grand Parkway South corridor. We left out restaurants with Rosenberg, Sugar Land, Fulshear or Katy addresses, even when they're a short drive away. For those, see our guides to the best sushi in Sugar Land and the best sushi in Katy.

How we chose

Every restaurant here had to be a sushi bar or Japanese restaurant with a Richmond address and a current official website or online-ordering page as of November 2026. We read each menu and noted what to order from the dishes the restaurant names itself. We left out places we couldn't confirm were open (details in the notes below), plus all-you-can-eat spots whose addresses turned out to be in Fulshear or Rosenberg.

Hours change, so treat every schedule below as "typically" and check the restaurant's own site before you go. Neighborhood labels are ours.

Aliana and West Grand Parkway South

Fuji Sushi & Grill

Waterview Town Center, 4828 Waterview Town Center Dr, Suite 900, Richmond · typically open daily for lunch and dinner

Fuji Sushi & Grill is the Richmond sushi bar to book when sushi is the whole point of the night. Fuji says it has been serving Richmond since 2015, with traditionally trained sushi chefs working a 35-foot sushi bar, so grab a counter seat. The kitchen side covers teriyaki, udon, hibachi steak and seafood, which makes Fuji an easy yes for a group where not everyone eats raw fish.

What to order: a spicy tuna roll with jalapeño and avocado, the crunchy snow crab roll with shrimp, and white fish sashimi with jalapeño.

Good to know: Fuji has a private meeting and banquet room and caters, per its website. Fuji is typically open from 11 a.m. on weekdays and 11:30 a.m. on weekends, until 9:30 p.m. most nights and 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Akashi Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar

West Grand Parkway South, 10415 W Grand Pkwy S, Suite 150, Richmond · lunch typically Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Akashi Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar describes itself as family-owned and operated, and its Richmond menu goes further than most suburban sushi bars. Alongside the rolls you'll find a seasonal assortment of fish from Japan's Toyosu Market (priced at market), a bluefin flight, nigiri such as kinmedai and shima-aji, and fresh wasabi as an add-on. There's hibachi too.

What to order: the Richmond Roll (shrimp tempura and cucumber topped with snow crab, avocado and tuna in soy paper) or, for something very Texan, the Texan Roll, a deep-fried roll with snow crab, cream cheese, peanuts and beef tataki that's served with crispy sweet potato. Splurge on the Ocean Spice Roll, with toro inside and uni and ikura on top.

Good to know: Akashi's weekday lunch menu lets you pick any two rolls at a set price. Akashi's site doesn't post full opening hours for Richmond, so call before a late dinner.

Sushi Hana Fusion Cuisine

West Grand Parkway South, 5610 W Grand Pkwy S, Suite 300, Richmond · typically open daily

Sushi Hana Fusion Cuisine in Richmond has a long menu, with house special rolls, robata grill, hibachi and teppan teriyaki. It's a dependable dine-in or takeout spot for families, with online ordering on its own site.

What to order: the Campaign Roll (shrimp tempura, smoked salmon and cream cheese, tempura style, topped with snow crab, crunchy flakes and sweet mayo), the raw Erick Roll, yellowtail and scallion topped with baby salmon and salmon roe, and the Dobin Mushi, a broth served in a little teapot. Feeling brave? Order the Stuffed Jalapeño, filled with peanut butter and snow crab and deep-fried.

Good to know: the Hana Hot Rock Beef is sliced New York strip grilled on a very hot rock. Sushi Hana is typically open until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Slurp Ramen Factory

West Grand Parkway South, 5530 W Grand Pkwy S, Suite 550, Richmond · online ordering typically 11 a.m. to 9:45 p.m.

Slurp Ramen Factory is the Richmond Japanese restaurant for nights when you want a bowl, not a roll. Its current online menu has no sushi. The draw is ramen with a Texas accent: the Smoked Brisket Ramen pairs barbecue brisket with a shoyu beef-bone broth.

What to order: the Smoked Brisket Ramen, the Black Garlic Tonkotsu, or the Tsukemen, thick noodles you dip in a bold tonkotsu miso broth. Add takoyaki to start, or try a Ramen Burger.

Good to know: Slurp has hibachi plates and premium sake and Japanese beer. Its site doesn't post weekly hours, so check before a late visit. More bowls are in our best ramen in Houston guide.

FM 359 and FM 1464

Ninja Japanese Cuisine

FM 359, 1800 FM 359 Rd, Richmond · check the official site for current hours

Ninja Japanese Cuisine is the Richmond sushi spot with the most personality. The menu reads like a Saturday-morning lineup, with rolls called Pokemon, Minecraft, Kungfu Panda and Super Mario. The FM 359 Roll is named for the road outside: snow crab, asparagus, white fish and smelt roe, tempura style, with spicy mayo and eel sauce.

What to order: the FM 359 Roll, the Upside Down Roll (snow crab and avocado topped with pepper tuna, served on a sizzling plate), the Unicorn Roll wrapped in pink soy paper, and the Oishi, a rice-free roll wrapped in a thin slice of tuna with yuzu sauce.

Good to know: Ninja's special and house rolls are flagged as containing undercooked ingredients or fully cooked, which helps if you're ordering for kids. Its stuffed jalapeño is also filled with peanut butter and snow crab.

Toku Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar

FM 359, 1862 FM 359, Richmond · typically open daily, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and until 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Toku Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar on FM 359 in Richmond pairs a Japanese sushi bar with a Chinese bistro kitchen. It's the place to settle a family argument: sushi rolls and bento boxes for one half of the table, General Tso's chicken and Mongolian beef for the other, and teppanyaki steak for whoever can't decide.

What to order: sushi rolls or sashimi for the table, a Japanese bento box, or teppanyaki steak. Toku's own homepage doesn't list its roll names, so check the online menu linked from its site.

Good to know: Toku and Ninja are both on FM 359, so it's easy to pick one when the other has a wait.

Sakura Asian Bistro

FM 1464, 7039 FM 1464, Suite 180, Richmond · typically open daily, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and until 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Sakura Asian Bistro on FM 1464 in Richmond pairs Chinese cooking with Japanese sushi. It's typically open until 10 p.m. most nights, which makes it an easy weeknight takeout stop.

What to order: split a few sushi rolls and a Chinese entree, so the whole table is covered.

Good to know: Sakura's website shows hours but no menu; ordering runs through the online-ordering link on its site, so browse the house rolls there before you go.
