The Blue Fish - Washington Ave.

The Blue Fish, a small Dallas chain serving up sushi, sake, and martinis now has a second Houston location. With the success of their first location Downtown, The Blue Fish opened on Washington Avenue. This hip and modern Japanese joint is all about serving up the freshest pieces of sushi and the most delicious drinks.

The drink menu contains many interesting concoctions including specialty iced teas infused with fresh fruit. You'll definitely want to try their signature dish, the Ahi Tuna Tower, which gets rave reviews. Other favorites include the Kobe Sizzler (just like it sounds) and the Mega Lobster Roll (a whole tempura lobster tail with masago, asparagus, spicy mayo and eel sauce). Be sure to ask about the Julie roll, named after the owner's sister.

The swanky interior boasts blue accents, panoramic seascape murals, and a long sushi bar.  Stop by this happy hour hotspot or check it out for a late night bite.
