Good Sushi, Hit-or-Miss Service – I've been to Nippon on various occasions with various types of people. The atmosphere is unpretentious and laid-back. Sushi is average, never bad. Foot traffic is moderate (surrounded by restaurants and the Museum District) and customers range from older gray-haired couples to Montrose crowds, so people watching is great. HOWEVER, although the place is staffed with at least 2-3 people at a time, service can be INCREDIBLY slow. When I go with a group of girlfriends, I always get great service... read more
Great Sushi @ a reasonable price – I couldn't believe that there is not one single decent Japanese restaurant in Houston until my hairstylist (he is Japanese- KENZO) told me about Nippon. My husband and I went there on Friday night, the food/sushi is GREAT and fresh! The only drawback is the parking. It's VERY difficult to find a parking space if you get there late. The restaurant itself is pretty small but it doesn't bother me much. I rather go to a small/ not-so-trendy restaurant than a fancy one if the food taste great. A... read more
RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE – So a co-worker and i wanted to place an order to go so we asked for a menu it took us calling 3 times to get one over a period of 45 mins. that is rediculous.. the waiter who anwsered said "were too busy right now to send it to you , let us buss some tables and take some more orders then we will send it to you" that is soo rude they did not even want to send it until i threatened with "if your too busy we can order from somewhere else!" thats just completely rediculous to me. its really not worth eati... read more
Most authentic Japanese food in Houston... – Nippon Restaurant was one of the first Japanese restaurants in Houston and is run by a husband (Naoki-san) and wife (Miami-san) team. The food is delicious, and very authentic. My mother is Japanese, and Nippon is where I go when I miss the homecooked Japanese meals (from umeboshi onigiri to sukiyaki) from my childhood. The sushi portions are less American-sized than other, trendier restaurants, but the fish is fresher and tastier than those trendy sushi spots. In Japan, sushi is ... read more
Outstanding – My huband and I have eaten at Nippon no less than 20 times. I can say with absolutely no exaggeration that we have not had one single bad experience. We have been for dinner and for lunch (with lunch being our favorite as they have wonderful bentos), we have been seated inside and outside (with our favorite being at the bar) and 100% recommend everything we have tasted. The sushi has never been anything but extraordinary (Naoki is amazing) and the tempuras light and delicious. We recommend the toro, maguro, sak... read more
Authentic Japanese food, only one in town – only place I have found in town for Authentic Japanese food. The place is very "Japanese" in format and culture, too, so it's a bit weird for taking friends there. You do have to call your server (typical in Japan. They don't disturb you because it's considered rude) and a lot of the staff is Japanese, however I felt that this was a good thing, since it really made the experience authentic. I go here as often as I can, and it reminds me of my trips over to Japan. If you have visite... read more
Most Authentic Japanese Food in Houston – I don't know what the last person to post was talking about. I lived in Japan for a year and this is the closest food that I can find in the city of Houston to what I ate daily in Japan not only in variety but also in the quality of the food but most importantly the taste. What is the point of going out to dinner at a Japanese food resturant if you're going to be served the food you can eat at every other place? Nippon truely goes above and beyond in making sure you get the best food... read more
Worst service in Houston – I came here with several friends and not ONCE did a server come to the table. We had to go inside and find a server for drink orders, refills, our food order, the check, and every. single. thing. Yet, the people sitting around us were served hand and foot, from the moment they sat down until the moment they left. The sushi was mediocre and WAY overpriced for 4 tiny pieces. I have never once complained at a restaurant but we did not understand why we were treated this way. When I approached the mana... read more
Best Japanese Restaurant – Simply the best Japanese restaurant I have ever visited in Houston. This restaurants operates more than 20 years by a Japanese couple. Service is great every time I visited. For the menu they have the normal English menu (of course the safe choices for non-Asian) and a hidden Japanese menu if you ask, where there are all the exciting, authentic items. I tried one day ankimo, which is basically the liver of a deep ocean fish. Almost as delicious as foie gras! Lunch box is very affordable, (<10 dolla... read more
