    Nippon has been serving Montrose residents (and expat Japanese) their sushi for decades, and has never failed in that time to serve the freshest fish it can get. Read more

    If you have a few $s burning a hole in your pocket, do the omakase. It is delicious! Just tell them how much you want to spend and they can customize it to your wallet.

    Speedy service (arrived at 3:30pm), waiter made a great recommendation to get the pork ramen. Broth was very flavorable, excellent noodles, wish there was pork belly VS regular pork.

    The Bentobox at lunchtime was amazing and the rolls are great as well. This place has got it all, definitely a must go place!

    Trust the sushi chefs to make sublime deluxe sashimi platters; simply tell them what you like/dislike & they will deliver superb slices of seafood bliss.

    Excellent lunch bento boxes. The beef teriyaki / tempura box is my favorite. Good miso soup too.

    Katsu Curry is awesome. Also try the Beef Tataki appetizer, it's only on the Japanese menu but you can order in English. Yellowtail collar and agedashi tofu are excellent appetizers too.

    Authentic Japanese food. Try the Hamachi Kama Yaki (grilled yellowtail collar) and the Curry Udon. If they have uni on the specials, get it.

    Skip the rolls and stick to what they really excel at: fresh and authentic nigiri, sashimi, and other Japanese dishes.

    Most authentic Japanese restaurant in Houston. You should try the noodles, Ramen, Katsu Curry and Dragon roll.

    Very authentic, family run- sit at the bar and tell the chef how much you want to spend and how adventurous your tastes are

    The sushi menu is separate. Beware the fact that they lace many of the pieces with wasabi. Other than that, good food and good value for a Japanese restaurant.

    Their ramen ROCKS. It is seriously delicious. I always get the tonkatsu ramen (pork) but have also tried their miso flavor. Both are good.

    2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Japanese Snack Food: Before the hostess leads you to your table, request the Japanese menu. Sure, you might not be able to read Japanese, but that's part of the fun.

    Love this place and the food. Service and promptness is sometimes an issue. Be wary of ordering appetizers because service is slow.

    Really slow service. We were here for over 2 hrs, and most of that was spent waiting. Sad because the food is GREAT. Just keep track of what you order. We ended up with extra items on the check.
