5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Texas City

“This was our first time going here. I was surprised to find out they had more locations around Houston. There is a lot to choose from even the drink menu is long and varied. The appetizer selection is full of great options of fried and sushi options. We decided to get the appetizer sampler that had the fried options with shrimp tempura ? crab Rangoons, fried spring rolls, and fried tofu. It came with two sauces, one sweet and one savory. Everything on the plate was delicious, especially after finding that right combination of sweet or savory. I got the lunch special sushi ? that came with three different sushi options and a soup or salad. I went with the soup, and for sushi, I got the spicy tuna roll, eel and avocado ?, and the salmon roll. Sherry Ann went with the Philly roll. It was a lot of food, maybe too much food. I enjoyed the eel and the salmon. The tuna was ok, but the others were far better. Our server Bagus was great checking on us answering all our questions and making sure we had a great experience. This was great service, great food, and the restaurant itself was nicely decorated and clean, and they even have a bar if thats your style. I would definitely recommend this place, and I'm already looking forward to coming back.“

“Great service, nice atmosphere and amazing sushi. The BF has been living close to the Canadian border for 5 years and so went hog wild. Said it was all great. He especially loved the sea urchin. My fried dumplings were yummy. And my shaggy dog and shrimp tempura rolls were excellent. They have a lot of non sushi options I'll be back to try.“

“Yamato, the celestial realm of sushi perfection in Galveston, Texas, left me utterly enchanted. A culinary voyage guided by masterful artisans who wielded their knives like samurai swords, crafting edible masterpieces that danced on my taste buds. Each morsel was a symphony of flavors, a gastronomic sonnet composed with the freshest ingredients. The ambiance, a fusion of elegance and tranquility, elevated the dining experience to an otherworldly level. Yamato isn't just a sushi haven; it's a celestial sanctuary where taste transcends boundaries. Prepare for a gastronomic odyssey that will leave you starry-eyed—undoubtedly deserving of a five-star constellation of praise.“

“It was a Friday evening but it was too loud. The dishes look very good and there is plenty of food. The hot & sour soup was thicker than I'm used too. Too many mushrooms for me. My main dish was shredded pork with green beans but I found it too salty. The others had no complaints and enjoyed their choices. The server was very nice & attentive, not in our faces, just right. I will try again,and order something different.“

“My wife and I have had several great meals here. We’ve eaten lunches and dinners. I strongly recommend going. Our last eaten there was fantastic. We did have a young completely untrained server. Although polite he didn’t have a clue about his job.This is a great restaurant. We won’t let new wait staff keep us away.Wheelchair accessibility: Available and adequate.“
