Sushi & raw bar

Hudson House sushi and raw bar: every roll ranked

The sushi and raw bar is one of Hudson House's most distinctive elements -- unusual for an American brasserie. Eight specialty rolls plus daily oysters. Two rolls (The Signature and Truffle Hamachi) are served riceless, which sets them apart from most Houston raw-bar programs.

  1. 1Truffle Hamachi RollHamachi, crab, truffle oil -- riceless. Most-mentioned premium roll.See menu
  2. 2Pressed Ahi Tuna RollPressed tuna sashimi with spicy mayo, eel sauce and truffle oil.See menu

  5. 5The Signature RollSalmon, tuna, crab, avocado -- house namesake roll. Riceless.See menu
  6. 6Golden RollTempura shrimp, mango, crab, topped with salmon and eel sauce.See menu
Most ordered

Truffle Hamachi Roll

Crab, tempura flake and avocado base with hamachi, lemon and truffle oil on top. Served riceless. The truffle oil application makes it the most premium roll on the board and the most frequently cited in guest reviews.

Best starter

Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice

Four pieces of chilled spicy tuna pressed onto crispy rice blocks with chili mayo and eel sauce. The format -- popularized by Nobu -- works especially well at bar seating alongside an oyster order during happy hour.

Unique

Pressed Ahi Tuna Roll

Tuna sashimi and spicy tuna pressed and sliced with avocado, spicy mayo, eel sauce and truffle oil. The pressed format is uncommon in casual brasseries and is one of the more technically distinct rolls on the menu.

House specialties

About Hudson House

An American brasserie that leads with its raw bar -- in two Houston neighborhoods.

Hudson House is a Vandelay Hospitality Group concept that occupies an unusual position in the Houston dining market: upscale enough for a celebration, casual enough for a weeknight oyster run. The menu combines a serious sushi and raw bar (eight specialty rolls, daily oysters) with American brasserie staples -- lobster roll, steak frites, pan-seared redfish, French chicken and a celebrated double-smash cheeseburger.

The Houston footprint opened with the River Oaks location at 1966 W Gray St and expanded to Rice Village at 2414 University Blvd. Both locations carry the same menu and share the same happy hour program: $3 oysters and $10 cheeseburgers weekdays from 3 to 6 PM, bar seating only.

The restaurant is ranked among the top 350 of nearly 20,000 Houston restaurants on restaurantguru.com (as of May 2026), with a 4.7 out of 5 rating on both Google (1,344 reviews) and OpenTable (672 reviews). Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM and is consistently cited as one of the stronger brunch programs in the River Oaks and Rice Village corridors.
