Reviews for Nippon in Houston, TX
I super enjoyed the food. Cozy family-style Japanese restaurant with great food. We had seafood platter and salmon teriyaki.... Definitely one of the best in mid town. Their rice is impeccable! Read more
We enjoyed several different sushi dishes for lunch. We didn?t find one we didn?t like. Service was very good and prompt. ... Definitely recommend and will return! Read more
Food was flavorful. Didn't know the 'seafood' section was more for appetizers, but the toro tataki (fatty tuna with raw quail... egg) was fresh, and gindara (smoked Alaskan black cod) was very flavorful with a great crisp! Those were our favorites from whatwe tried. Noodle dishes were okay. Sashimi and sushi was mediocre. Might be back to try different seafood appetizers. Read more
The starters were great. The agedashi tofu contained an ample amount of bonito flakes. The yakitori was one of the best I had in... a while. It was super tender and juicy and the phenomenal sauce was lathered on generously. The chirashi (made to accommodateshellfish allergy) tasted good and the plating was pleasing to the eye. The Sukiyaki portion was huge. The glass noodles,veggies, tofu and beef were soaked in the flavorful broth. Nippon is definitely worth another visit in the future. There is bothindoor and outdoor seatings. Parking is somewhat limited with approximately 10-15 spaces on the side of and in the back of thebuilding. Read more
Cozy atmosphere with authentic Japanese food. The servers are friendly and the owners speak Japanese. We got the dragon and... shaggy rolls which were quite nice with good amount of ingredients (unlike the other restaurant that tend to put a lot of ricein their rolls). The seared salmon nigiris were the bomb they melt in your mouth yum! The Curry Katsu was good but it is notspicy. Love my refillable very hot green tea too. Just the way it should be for a Japanese restaurant. We had a good night :) Read more
Food is wonderful and everything seems very authentic. Prices are great as well. I think this place probably has the one of the... best katsu curries in Houston! Read more
Great food and great service. My wife loves Japanese curry and this place satisfied her craving. The sushi tasted fresh. The... ginger dressing on the salad was different than other Japanese restaurants in a good way. I could not place what was different.It just was. Read more
Love the cozy, intimate vibe. There are indoor and outdoor seating options, and the patio is decorated with paper lanterns. The... sushi is very good quality for the price! The caterpillar roll was our favorite, but everything was delicious, even the cheapestrolls. The service is also great. We ordered green tea and the wait staff frequently came by to give us (free!) refills. Can'twait to come here again! Read more
