Authentic and delicious – I've eaten at least 300 times at Nippon, and love their bento boxes and their crab puffs. The sushi is good and so is the hot sake. For the kids, there is a child plate that pairs 2 large shrimp with teriayaki chicken. Also popular with the kids is green tea or red bean ice cream or mochi (little balls of ice cream covered in a sweet rice covering). The staff and owner are kind to children.

Avoid Nippon-Service Stinks – Nippon had the worst service ever of any restaurant I have ever been to. I have never been waived off by a waitress and been told I will not come serve you when I have been waiting 15 minutes. It took 30 minutes just to get water. The only thing I had to eat was leftover food from friends who had to wait over an hour just to get their food and some orders were even forgotten. If you like to wait long periods of time and maybe even being ignored by your server, then this is the place for you

Great Find! – One of my favorite sushi places to go to in Houston thus far. Fresh fish, good food, and the prices are pretty reasonable. I'm also a fan of their creative specialty rolls!

The best authentic sushi in town! – The perfect place to enjoy a traditional Japanese meal! This little gem is conveniently located near the Museum District, so it is the perfect spot to grab bite. My boyfriend and I go to Nippon at least twice a month. The menu is comprised of various Japanese staples such as tempura, udon, teriyaki, sashimi rolls, hand rolls and of course, sushi rolls. Beverages include soft drinks, Japanese ramune soda, green tea, as well and Japanese beer and a selection of wines. Nippon's seafood is ext... read more

good sushi-good sake – Took the wife here before a saturday night at the symphony. Parking was tough to find as the lot is really small. Restaurant was full and got seated at the sushi bar. Ordered dragon roll (spicy tuna roll with avocado and salmon on outside) thought the presentation and taste were awesome, Also ordered spicy tuna roll and several pieces of salmon and they were all great as well. Tuna and sushi pieces weren't overly spicy like everything at downtown Az*ma. Wife had chicken teriyaki which was a little toug... read more

Best Sushi Ever – I have been in Houston for a very short period of time and I have been to Nippon three times. I absolutely love the place. It's got great food, good prices for sushi, and great friendly service. I am definitely going to continue my dining experience at Nippon with friends and family when they visit. I hope everybody has the opportunity to visit this wonderful family owned restaurant and experience a little japanese culture in the Houston area.

Closed Mondays – This is my favorite sushi bar inside the loop. I've been to more expensive and modern looking sushi bars but they cannot compete with Nippon. Nippon is family owned and operated. When I go to Nippon I feel like I am entering their house. The chef's are always friendly and the food is always delicious. They are not closed on Mondays but they are open Tuesdays - Sunday.

great food, but was closed – I have been here for dinner and the noodles were delicious; no other places serve udon and ramen like Nippon does. However, a friend and i went around 6.45-7pm on November 3, 2008 and Nippon was indeed closed. We were definitely disappointed but I am more curious as to how the previous two reviewers obtained entrance.... are they only open during lunchtime now??
