Teppanyaki Restaurants near Bellaire, TX

“Great service, show, food. Nice decor. Fun place.“

“OVERPRICED & OVERCHARGED - nothing different than the local Japanese steakhouse restaurants & I still came out smelling like garlic butter 😏. We told the waitress we all wanted fried rice with our meals... only to be charged for chicken fried rice 😠“

“IWA YA is one of my go-to Japanese spots in Houston’s Chinatown. It’s a popular place, especially on weekends and during lunch, so you’ll usually see a steady crowd and sometimes a line — but it moves quickly.

When you order, you simply give them the table or booth number you plan to sit at, and they’ll bring the food to you. We tried a sushi roll and a bento box (around $11), which came with grilled fish, salad, fried tofu, and shrimp tempura — a great value for what you get.

One of the best parts of eating here is the self-serve extras: unlimited corn soup, miso soup, hot water, and red bean dessert. You just grab a bowl or cup and help yourself. It’s a small touch that adds a lot to the overall experience.

Service is always friendly and fast, and the restaurant has plenty of seating. Parking is easy too, thanks to the large shared lot outside.

If you’re in Houston’s Chinatown and want solid Japanese food at a reasonable price, Iwaya is definitely worth a visit.“
