Redfish Seafood Grill and Sushi

This place rocks…
Great family atmosphere… a little more relaxed than most Japanese sushi bars I frequent.
What rocks is the sushi (we did not eat anything else). Even the edemamie was better at this place.
The rolls are about 25% larger than other places I go. and everything was very fresh.
Got some fried fish for the little one — it was hot crispy and he loved it too. (he also loved the edemamie and tried a little sushi roll too)
I will go back when in town, and I know my Nephew and his wife will have a date there soon too.

The original 249 location was always the better location anyway. That location is going gangbusters. Hopefully they will find an appropriate location to re-​open on 290, but we always drive to the 249 location anyway. A fairly short drive from 290.

I loved this place and am so sad to see it closed. Service was always exceptional and the food amazing. They have another location but this was our traditional after church stop, and the other place is just too far out for that. :(

Starting off with two appetizers, the Edamame was just standard but the Tempura Fried Shrimp with Southwestern salsa was really really good! For just $ 7.50, the martini glass, filled with guacamole and sweet tomato-​y salsa, came with six sizable whole shrimps fried crispy in tempura batter. Oh la laa, I would recommend this appetizer, especially to the shrimp lovers!
The sushi and sashimi were fresh and good. Sashimi was cut extremely thick (thanks to the manager who was a friend to the boyfriend) but the excessive thickness actually made the raw fish a tad chewy *tsk tsk tsk* Oh well, we greatly appreciated the kindness and generosity though *teeheeee* The fire cracker roll w/​spicy tuna and salmon, topped with spicy Mayo and Tempura Crunch, was delicious and good for the money; one huge roll cut up into 10 pieces for only $ 13.95.
The «Treasure of the Sea» undoubtedly looked fantastic; yet, it was all about the visual presentation while the food itself tasted just A-​OK. The 2 pieces of scallops were small, the stuffed lobster was sadly petit, and the so-​called fried snow crab leg was perhaps the thinnest ever seen! The two fried sushi rolls tasted bland, of which each was such a thick layer of rice wrapped around stingy amount of imitation crab meat *boooooo* i would give credit to the stuffing, which was yummy, though.
Service was prompt and courteous, and on the prices, i would say, reasonable. One last thing, cute drawings on the wall!

I’ve only been here once with my husband but we both enjoyed the food. I had I believe the special which was crab cakes with a cream sauce. It was so tasty! The sushi was the freshest I’ve had but I think I’m not a sushi person so I can’t comment on it too much. It is pricey for dining every week so maybe it’s only for special occasions. I would definitely go back though if only for the crab cakes!

Came for a late lunch with my little brother, and was really really disappointed with the quality of service here. The food here is great but the service is terrible and ruined the meal for me completely. But we’ll get to that after we discuss the food here.
Food: We ordered the fried calamari, stuffed jalapenos, the firecracker roll, an assortment of nigiri, and the lobster bisque. The fried calamari was meh, served with a tartar sauce and cocktail sauce? not really sure since it lacked flavor. The stuffed jalapenos came out crunchy, stuffed with crab and looked amazing. I unfortunately couldn’t have any since I’m allergic to crabs, but my brother said they were delicious. The firecracker roll was massive, and it was really good, the fish was fresh and plentiful. The assortment of nigiri were large, fresh and the rice was soft. Perfect. The lobster bisque was just alright, I’ve had much better, but for the area, this bisque was decent.
Service: Terrible. Despite the fact that the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, our waiter was never to be found except to take our order and drop off food. A couple seated behind us had ordered, and I overhead lobster bisque being thrown around. After the appetizers had come and gone, I was still waiting for my lobster bisque while the other patron was already finished with hers… COOL. The waiter brought out a rolls and a platter of sashimi, but I had ordered nigiri. I told him that it was wrong and he brought out the menu and asked me to show him. I pointed to what I ordered and he lied to my face and said it was on its way. so why did you just ask me to show you what I ordered? I was literally on my last sips of pepsi before I had to ask for another refill… just terrible

Always a great place when I’m in the mood for quality sushi. Portion sizes are great. You definitely get your money’s worth. If you have not tried the Firecracker roll, you are missing out on some damn good stuff.

This place is amazing. Great wine list and awesome service. Sushi is fresh and delicious. I had the sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. Hubby had a steak and bisque. Will go every opportunity I get.

The sushi was very big and fresh. Really was good. However, the miso soup was extra salty and when I asked for the clam miso, I got 1 clam. The fish in pepper sauce was very bland and needed some siracha to spice it up.

Had the escargot and it was pretty good — not fabulous. I wished that we got appropriate spoons to eat them with. I asked the waiter if I could get a surf and turf and I was hoping that it was what I thought — no — it was actually sushi with beef and lobster tail. The halibut was good with that sauce it had. I didn’t like that we had water in plastic cups, seemed juvenile and weird. The place had an upscale-​ish menu, but the place was more of a fast food Chinese restaurant. I liked one wall with nautical reliefs, bit the other wall had weird caricatures of random white couples (all the women had the same anatomy) on the other wall.
I had heard some mixed reviews about this place, but I may still go back another time for some other dishes.

Once upon a time, Redfish was one of my ultimate favorite sushi restaurants. It is still conveniently located, prices are still decent, food and portions are delicious and ginormous (respectively). But what has gone downhill is the service. What used to be great and prompt service has turned into that annoying «where is my server» game, which is something my boyfriend loathes.
As a loyal customer, I won’t get into much details about how crappy the service was this past Saturday night. But I will say that it was the worst I’ve ever had at Redfish, and even though our server brought out everything we asked for, he could have done it with a little less bang and a lot more enthusiasm. There was just a lot of stuff that happened that night that didn’t particularly please my boyfriend and I all too much, like not having any plates or silverware to use or having to repeat your order because your server was just *too* busy watching the football game… In retrospect, I’m starting to think it was just my waiter.
Overall, the food is still good as before. Firecracker roll, White Dragon roll, edamame, and the salmon sashimi are all still knocking my socks off with it’s deliciousness and generous portion. One thing new that we tried this time around is the Salmon Au Gratin. A warning here: don’t be fooled and think it’s like your typical au gratin. The dish is actually a creamy potato soup-​base with thinly sliced salmon stewed to perfection, with slices of toasted bread on the side to balance the flavors. I would add that to my list of recommendations.
PS: To make a point about Ju A.‘s comments about the cheesy and comic paintings on the wall (also known as caricatures), they are of Redfish’s regulars. If you were a regular and asked to be on that wall, it wouldn’t be so cheesy. Also, if you ever been to their first and original location, you would get that the tradition followed.

This is some of the best tasting seafood around in my opinion. The Chilean Sea Bass was awesome, and the portions were more than enough.
You might need to make reservations though, as the dining area is small and gets packed pretty quickly… worth the wait though !!!

This place is slightly overrated. I was here on an early Sunday for dinner. It was quite packed. Adults and children. A place for the whole family – minus the dog– to experience Japanese dining.
I walked in and noticed right away the comic paintings on the wall of diners sitting at their tables. The paintings looked like they were done by middle school kids. Kinda cheesy looking if u must ask. I’m used to seeing oriental decoration at most Japanese or any Asian restaurants.
Anyway, the tables are quite close together. So try not to eavesdrop on your neighbors even though you maybe trying really hard to focus on your own conversation.
The food… well…the portion size is quite big. Very generous, indeed. The plating isn’t so bad either. Quite appealing. We had sushi rolls and soups. We thought the lobster bisque was bland and soupy. We didn’t see any lobster bits. Maybe it should have been lobster broth rather than lobster bisque. The clam miso soup had one single clam in it. I was heartbroken :/​I was hoping at least two.
This is minor, but the wasabi on the sushi roll plate was balled up. I don’t personally like my wasabi rolled up into a ball shape. Kinda gross to me. Also, it didn’t look greenish like most wasabi that I’ve had at other places.
Nah. I’d pass on this place. Won’t be coming back.

Great lunch specials and you must try the ribeye steak!!! The food portions are huge as well as the sushi rolls. The seafood is so fresh and yummy. I think this is the best restaurant in cypress hands down.

These were the most unique rolls I have ever seen! Nice clean place and our waiter was excellent. I ordered the firecracker roll and wow was it a lot of food! There was too much on top of the roll though I had to scrape it off just to eat it. The rolls are thin but tall and a little hard to eat because of the size. We ordered four rolls for three people and there was so much leftover we could barely eat two whole rolls. I will definitely go back to try another roll and order nothing else. We had the escargot and edamame for appetizers which were delicious! Give it a try if in the Cypress area!

Loved the sushi. Sea monster roll was my favorite. Very fresh and made perfectly.
Service was good and the place was very upscale for a lunch in cypress.
I think we split three specialty rolls and an appetizer for about $ 25pp.
I will be back when I am in the area to eat.
They have lunch specials too.

Redfish is PHENOMENAL!
My aunt and uncle are regulars here and now I know why.
I’m not really a fan of sushi, but this restaurant changed my mind!
The rolls are very large and perfectly prepared– I recommend trying the Shaggy Dog
Apart from the sushi, we sampled tons of appetizers and all were delicious.
This past visit we had a very large group so we ended up ordering 12 sushi rolls, 2 salads, 3 appetizers, and some drinks– the total was just over $ 200, which is pretty cheap considering all that we ordered!
The staff is very polite and on point
I hope to return soon!

This place was delicious. Their menu includes seafood and sushi/sashimi.which was mind blowing to me. I tried a seafood and sushi dish and both were delish! I would definitely come back.
Oh yeah the food are reasonably priced!

I don’t really see what all of the great reviews are about with Redfish. My wife and I have been on numerous occasions and one thing I will give them is this; the food is neither great nor bad, it is just OK. The rolls sushi rolls are LARGE (better be for the price) but all in all they are really rather bland. What they call ‘spicy’ rolls have little to no spice to them at all.
The repetitive issue that we have always had is the service, which is very lacking to say the least. Some formal training of the waitstaff might be a benefit to their operation at both locations. Patrons don’t care much about waitstaff’s conversations with the bartenders or the sushi chefs and expect you to come to the table before those conversations are completed.
All in all, it is probably the better place in Cy-​Fair, but we tend to leave the area for our sushi now

This is my favorite restaurant right now. period. I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to write this review.
To Summarize: Red Fish Grill has by far the best seafood I have had in years. On the sushi side, one roll is filling enough for an adult and delicious at the same time. The cozy atmosphere and friendly wait staff (Jasmine/​Micheal) are just additional pluses to the the best meals and memories I can recall at this moment.
MY Recommended dishes are below, but I would like to specifically highlight the BEST seafood dish I have ever had in my entire life.
Volcano Bronzini.
The meat is tender and moist, with a certain flakiness that perfectly soaks up the wasabi lime sauce that wades below the crispy skin of the fish. Protected on a bed of perfectly cooked spinach leaves, the moat of sinus clearing, sweet and tangy wasabi lime sauce dares you to dip generous chunks of meat into its depths. The bronzini itself it stuffed with a perfectly seasoned, crab-​rich stuffing that only enhances the natural flavors and juices of the main course.
Words do no justice to this experience, with this new experience, my former 5 star ratings pale in comparison and only a few other establishments survived demotions. Houston, please partake in this this culinary glory that I have been so lucky to stumble upon.
The only drawback is the wait if you come during peak hours, dinner meals (w/​salad) are around 15 – 20 USD.
