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

If you like traditional japanese food, you will like it – The Grilled Whole Squid and udon are excellent. Not many Japanese restaurants have the grilled whole squid. A must try. However, the portion of the sushi and sashimi is comparatively small. Sometime the service is very slow.

Great Sushi @ Great Prices – I think the one liner subject says it all. Great sushi @ great prices & good service. You can swing by on the weekends in the afternoon or at night during the weekdays/weekends (sit outside if it's pleasant). It's a casual place so you can go as you are (well almost)

Quaint, unassuming, delicious, and worth it! – I love Nippon for its down to earth approach. As far as I know, they were the first sushi restaurant to set up shop in Houston. They favor authenticity over flashiness. These days sushi seems to be all about trendy after work hangouts for yuppies, but less than ten years ago it was much more about the kind of close, quiet, pleasant restaurant. Cheers, not Studio 54. If anyone remembers those days and is sick of the overpriced and pretentious feel of the newer places, I highly re... read more
