20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Kingwood

“I have been here several times and it’s been a favorite for my wife and I. Today we walked in and before ordering they had very explicit music playing (f word every sentence type of song and not exaggerating) the music was so loud and explicit my wife and I had a hard time focusing when ordering. We walked out and didn’t bother with finishing our order. Workers didn’t not have an awareness of the kind of music they were playing. I would much rather have no music where I can have peaceful conversations with my wife. Food is great, but little things can really affect someone’s experience.“

“This is probably the best Sushi in Kingwood. Great folks and excellent fresh fish. Highly recommend.“

“One of my sisters and I's favorite sushi places in town!! Consistent excellent food and service! This place never disappoints. It has a nice ambiance, but is still a casual spot. Very clean. I have enjoyed everything I've tried off the menu! And haven't had trouble getting a table when I walk in. If you haven't tried this place, you should give it a shot! I think you'd be pleasantly surprised :)“

We have 3 children (ages 11,9 and 7) and they loved the kids ramen meal and Karaage and fries. They also loved the atmosphere and decor. It was a fun place for the whole family!“

“Will be coming back to this food truck! The food was amazing and so flavorful! My husband and I both had the yakisoba and we loved it! We also got a taro milk tea and it was delicious as well! The food came out in about 15 mins and it was hot and fresh! I am so glad it is close to home because we will be coming back soon!“

“I loved both of my experiences there. And my young adult kids love it too. They really made us comfortable right away and very personable. Owners are awesome and oh yeah, the food was great! Even the presentation is fun. The kids even sang karaoke. They were a hard no at first and after having such a good time, they couldn’t deny it. I will be back as long as I live in Houston!“

“Love it will return such a great place“

“One of the best sushi rolls my husband and I have ever tasted. We were very satisfied. Thanks to Mr Vicente at the sushi bar we were able to try different sauces with our sushi. Which made the experience a 10 out of 10! Our waitress was also one of the best and provided great customer service! Can’t wait to go back!“

“We visit this location frequently and always have great service and the sushi is prepared perfectly. The hibachi is really good as well. Definitely recommend trying several rolls here and get the sirloin, scallops, or Calamari. All definitely worth it. The hot sake is also a great addition to any meal.“

“Went to Humble for a different reason but changed our lunch plans when we saw this place and decided to eat here. Had gyoza, salmon rolls, tonkotsu ramen, and spicy miso ramen. All the food was really good, except the spicy miso soup was very spicy even for me who likes spicy food. Also we like the temperature of the soup hotter. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The name "Iekei," which we were intrigued by, means "homestyle" in Japanese but we are not sure if we were right. Glad we found this place.“

“Always a favorite spot for our family to grab sushi! I especially enjoy the tuna crudo. The bento boxes are always tasty. I really appreciate when I'm in the mood for sweet and sour chicken and I order here, the chicken is cooked to perfection and not greasy. My favorite sushi roll is the cowboy.“

“I have been a long time customer of Sarku. I have read the bad reviews and I know every experience can be different but I have had only good experiences at this location. The service has always been friendly. This location is always busy and the line can get long. No matter how long the line I have never had to wait too long. The cooks have been the same ones for years now. They know how to cook the chicken just right. I have had teriyaki chicken at other places and the chicken is burnt. I have never had that issue here. I will say the prices have gone up but they have gone up everywhere so it's unfair for people to leave a bad review because they think the prices are too high. However, their portion sizes are plenty and I usually get double meat so I have enough for lunch the next day. Their drink cups are BIG so when you spend $2.50 you get alota soda vs other places with their small cups for the same price. Before covid they offered refills but that is gone. Smh. I recommend this place for some good teriyaki.“

“It's one of the only places I HIBACHI. It's always clean and semi quiet. The service is A1. The food is good...it's just...good.The servings are large...I can never finish. Do not waste your time on any salad...and the rolls are amazing!“

“Very great service Highly recommend“

“Would have been 5 stars were it not for the awful garbage country music that they were inexplicably blaring. Chicken was great, but ordered spicy teriyaki chicken but truly it was pretty mild. Thankfully sriracha took care of that nicely. Vegetables were crisp and perfectly cooked, yakisoba noodles were fantastic too. They need a location in Kingwood it's too darn far to drive otherwise. Really enjoyed the food and service hated the moronic country music but I would definitely recommend it.“
