32 Best Japanese Restaurants near Friendswood

“Been here a couple of times and let me tell you guys that I have never been let down. The food is always amazing! The fish and other ingredients are very high quality and always taste so fresh. The owner, Chef Ruben, is highly skilled at what he does and offers the best customer service ever! Every time I come, I always feel welcomed as a long time friend. If you're ever in the area or need a quick pick-up, I would highly recommend this place. Being completely honest, I think I prefer this spot over an actually restaurant, it's so yummy!“

“It is all about their teriyaki chicken here. Sarku is a chain food court restaurant, but they're not very common. If you have never had a free extra helping of that sauce on top of your chicken and rice, you have not yet lived. If you don't order chicken, rice, and veggies, then you needlessly hold up the line. Stick to the good stuff.“

“Dining at Aki Sushi. I had a fantastic experience at Aki Sushi with my wife. We started with steamed dumplings, which were delightful. My wife had the tonkatsu ramen, a dish bursting with fresh flavors, along with the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu sashimi. I tried the smoked brisket ramen, a unique and delicious dish, and unagi with foie gras sushi wow !!! is all I have to say about that one. We also enjoyed a salmon skin roll, one of my favorites. The service was outstanding, with attentive staff ensuring a memorable meal. Aki Sushi stands out with their fresh wasabi ground tableside and fresh, never-frozen bluefin tuna. Highly recommend for anyone who loves sushi and ramen!“

“I had a friend visiting from out of town, and I wanted to find a nice elevated dining place in Clear Lake. Luckily, I found Masa! To summarize my review before it begins, Masa is now my destination if I am craving sushi and Japanese food. The atmosphere was elegant, which makes it stand out from other surrounding sushi restaurants. We started off with cold sake and Ahi Poké Nachos, which were crispy and delicious. My friend and I split Sushi Combo C, which features 20 pieces of assorted sushi with California and Spicy Tuna rolls. The sushi was very fresh and skillfully made. The Tamago was freshly made with the traditional chopstick method. This was the best sushi I have had since I dined at Nobu in Las Vegas. Our companions had the chicken katsu Bento Boxes because they wanted an assortment of things to try. The tempura battered shrimp and vegetables were lightly crunchy and delicate. After dinner, the four of us had a round of Ninja Drop martinis, which were tangy and sweet. The owner, Michael Zhou (pronounced "zjoe"), came over to say hi. He encouraged us to try one of his favorite items, the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was spectacular. To finish, we had a couple of bottles of hot sake alongside some yummy mochi ice cream. Our experience was amazing. Our server, Jordan, took great care of us, and we all had a great time. I was looking for an elevated experience, and I got exactly what I was looking for and more. I can't wait to eat here again and try other things on the amazing menu!“

“Great dining experience! Staff very helpful and informative, delicious food!“

“Incredible food. Incredible service. Incredible atmosphere. From the chefs, to the servers, to the hostesses, absolutely the best. Our grandchildren come from Beaumont just to eat here. The owner even ordered ingredients for a specialized drink I like. We eat here several times a month we love it so much.“

“Just moved here from Seattle, WA, and we love our Sushi! We’ve been here a few months and hadn’t been able to check out any Sushi places yet. My daughter recommended this place and it was a 10 out of 10! The food is FRESH, and tasted AMAZING! No need to look any further, this IS the place to eat when it comes to Sushi!“

“We love Sushi Moshi - we are usually there at least once/week and have had just about every server in the place! For that reason, I simply do not understand the couple negative reviews. The food never disappoints, and everybody has always been super friendly and helpful!“

“Great price for great food“

“This is grocery store sushi and to me, is a category on its own, and should not be compared to restaurant quality sushi. With that said, this place is so accommodating when I want a custom roll made. Always fresh. Won't get it any where else.“

“Went here for my oldest daughters birthday. As soon as we walked twords the hibachi my youngest with special needs panicked at the sounds and I’m assuming remembered the fire from last time. I had to sit off to the side where Vivian was so kind to me bringing me a menu so I could still pick out my food. My daughter was so worked up she was talking very loud and everyone was so kind to her, talking to her and giving her high fives! I asked for ice cream to try and calm her down and get her to sit down with our family and they were so quick to get it and bring it out. I realized she wasn’t going to go for it to which the staff seated me and my daughter off to the side where we could still eat. All of the waitress kept coming by checking on us and chatting with my daughter. As a special needs mom I worry about this kind of thing happening and how people would react. It completely warmed my heart to have the whole staff of the restaurant be so kind and accommodating!“

“Delicious food, great service.“

“This is one of my favorite place to dine In where you can enjoy eating with peace ..its not too crowded. They have beers and other drinks. Grilled and Skewered pork belly and chicken thighs with matching noodle bowls are great to have.“

“Everything was on point! Great atmosphere.“

“This place is amazing , The food tastes so good and the service is excellent .“

“This place was a staple for me back in Pearland, but glad its found a home in Pasadena. The food is just as great as the first time I tried it. It's good prices for reasonable portions. Definitely a get away place for date night or just meeting friends. Try the Royal Alex roll. Service is exceptional.“

“Best sushi in town by far“

“Had a great experience here! They have a large variety of different types of rolls and each one was absolutely delicious, fresh, full of flavor and on point. The egg rolls are some of the best I have ever tasted (and I'm very picky), service was nice, quick and friendly and it was overall a very nice time. I will definitely be back and I'm glad to know that I don't have to drive into Houston just to get good sushi!“

“It was our first time We really enjoyed it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Super delicioso el sushi, el arrocito también muy buen sabor y lo que más nos encantó es las salsitas que preparan le dan un toque riquísimo a la comida. Éxito en todo lo que emprendan.“
