My boyfriend and I love coming to Nippon when we can't decide on a restaurant but both feel like Japanese food. It is so much more laid back than other Japanese restaurants- we don't feel strange showing up in jeans and a t shirt. Despite this, the food is always excellent, filling, and authentic. We rarely spend more than $30, even with alcohol, and are always satisfied.

Best thing about this restaurant is that the food quality and preparation is always great... Staff is very friendly and Japanese... Beer is cold and sake and green tea are hot... green tea ice cream is wonderful... always meet and make new friends at the sushi bar... relaxed dinning experience... plan a show, 2-3 hour dinning experience... you will feel so very good when you leave...

They have the best sushi in Houston. Been going here for years, and everytime we go to another sushi place, we always say "It's OK, but not as good as Nippon." My only complaint is it always seems to take a long time to get the bill when we're finished (although this is a common complaint of ours at many restaraunts).

If you want to know what to order, here's our favorite order for two:
Tamago, Maguro, California Roll, Spider Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Crab and Asparagus Roll w/Mayo, and a shrimp tempura appetizer (comes with a few veggie tempura as well). A large hot sake and large bottle of Sapporo round that all off nicely :)

Lived in Japan for a while so believe me their food is just great. Very fresh fish, good quality!!! I deeply recommend their tonkatsu. The price is reasonable and you get with it a salad and a soup. Their fried fish for example, yakii saba is also very original. It taste like in Japan. Service is nice, food is great, prices are good. Go and try it!

incredible rolls, fried veggies were great, too. have the green tea ice cream after an enjoyable meal. service wasn't spectacular and the place was crowded, but the food makes it well worth it!
