Nippon - Houston

Oh my goodness this place was amazing. The lunch bentos were so, so good. Highly recommend the beef teriyaki bento box. So much food for such a great price. Parking can be really tight here, so I recommend coming here for lunch. Reservations are encouraged for dinner.Vegetarian options: AvailableParking: Very small lot, and tight spaces

The food isn't bad. There's a nice balance of hot entrees and sushi. Most of the sushi is pretty good and decently priced. The chirashi was solid. Their unaju is pretty good and so is the oyakodon. Curry udon wasn't bad as well. Service is friendly. Parking can be pretty rough here.

Cute cozy Japanese restaurant with friendly staffs. I liked Katsu curry most and hand rolls. Overall fish was fresh and tasty but salmon sashimi was very thin: I would come back to try other dishes.

We got lucky and dined in when there was no wait and opted for a table outside. Inside did seem a little tight so I'm glad we opted for outside. Our server was very attentive and helpful with suggestions and recommended a bottle of sake to pair with our nigiri, which did not disappoint. The menu was very helpful and I appreciated the descriptions of the sake varieties they had to offer. The only negative I have is that our food did not come out at once and this made eating awkward for the family but we told everyone at the table to start when plates arrived. Everything else was great. Rolls were made perfectly and I appreciated the amount of wasabi placed on the nigiri.

Authentic food. The dumplings are great. My daughter liked the sushimi. Chicken Teriyaki a smidge to salty for me, but that is just me. The tofu was unreal. Melt in your mouth.Food: 4/5
