Japanese Restaurants near Friendswood

“This review is long overdue as we have been thoroughly enjoying Sushi Bori for over a year now. It's simply the best! Our sushi loving son says it deserves more than 5 stars. The owner is so kind, personable, and always has great recommendations that never disappoint. The food is always so fresh and of the highest quality. It beats all local sushi restaurants! Our favorite go-to rolls include: Crunchy Philly, Bori Hot Tuna, Peppered Tuna, and Ruben Roll. Everything that we have tried is full of flavor and so delicious. We highly recommend that you taste it for yourself!“

“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.“

“Food was so good! Went with some friends to give sushi a second chance after having a not so great introduction to it a few years back lol we've been twice and everything we've ordered from the poki nachos to the full rolls to the fried rice for my kids has been amazing! Def recommend!“

“Excellent seasoning as always, it is a real pleasure to return here every time we can and that our star waitress Lucerito can always serve us!We fully recommend this place, and don't forget to ask for Lucero, she makes you feel at home“

“Had lunch today with two of kids today, our first visit. Food was great and service was amazing! Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“this place is so good and so cheap ?‍??? don’t mind the bad reviews they just complain too much smh. but anyway i highly recommend the special roll. it was definitely the highlight of my experience, also very good portions too. there was a small mistake with the bill but the waitress fixed it up in no time with no problems. 10/10 will be coming again ??“

“The food is absolutely amazing and its ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! From the menu!!“

“The whole family had a blast. Great selection of broths, sauces and fixings“

“Crab salad appetizer is delicious with the little shavings of apple. We have tried several sushi rolls and they are always fresh and tasty. The restaurant is in a shopping strip on the corner. We had great service. The green tea fried ice cream is definitely worth a try.“

“We enjoy this restaurant. Great addition to Alvin. Our only complaint is not allowing all ages to order from kids menu. Charge more for a teen or adult ordering from that menu, if that is the issue, but not everyone can eat the bigger adult portion size and people with food sensory issues can't order if dining with their family. You're losing money and alienating return customers.“

“Very good Ramen , waitress was great. Small but very nice restaurant, Dumplings were excellent as well!“

“Food are fresh and delicious, very friendly atmosphere, the owner and staff very generous .he always check up on us when we’re there to see how’s everything going, love this place would definitely recommend people who love sushi to come and enjoy“

“Good service and friendly waiters“

“We ordered different sushi rolls and sizzling shrimp with scallop. We enjoyed every bite of it. Priced very reasonably, I would say cheaper than the other sushi places. The place is a little older but it’s a perfect fusion of Chinese & Japanese food.“

“The food is really, really, really delicious..... Everything my wife and I have ordered has been hot and fresh.... My wife loves the ramen here, she's had both the Miso and Tonkatsu pork ramen and loves them both... Me on the other hand, love my special sushi rolls, and here my favorites are the Angry Dragon roll, Yummy roll, and Chameleon roll, the Angry Dragon has a really good kick to it... The spring rolls are delicious, the egg drop soup was good, the house salad was great, and the karaage chicken was hot and fresh.... Definitely found another great Japanese dish spot to eat at... This place is great, almost anything you try here will be great.“

“First time here. I will definitely be back, a little out of my way but beats Akimi on Nasa.Ginger dressing is awesome, vegetable tempura is awesome. Perfectly cooked and a wonderful variety of vegetables.Had Dragon which came with shrimp stirfry and a portion of General Tsao's chicken. So many vegetables in the shrimp stirfry and great flavor.Needless to say, I took home leftoversService was great too and nice atmosphere!“

“Parker is wonderful and made ordering party platters for our reception so easy and a great experience. I wish I had gotten a chance to get pictures of them, but they were beautifully arranged with care and precision. The sushi and sashimi were fantastic and our guests loved them! Thank you for all of your hard work and for making our day even better.“

“This place is so neat! We recently went with a group of friends and as soon as you walk in you're in awe with the fresh sushi being made and the bagoda style booths. Our server was super sweet and answered all the questions we had about the different types of sushi and appetizers. The appetizers, sushi, salads and soups, and hibachi are all included in the all you can eat price as well as soft drinks and dessert. I'm not a huge sushi fan but there were lots of veggie options and cooked sushi as well. Not too expensive either when you consider how much sushi normally costs.“

“ya que ya probe todo puedo decir que todo esta riquisimo, excelente servicio sin duda recomendado al 100“

“Absolutely amazing experience every trip. Aiya has become our weekly sushi spot and I swear it gets better every week. Don’t leave without trying one of their Ramen bowls, they’re all delicious.“

“I really love the appetizers here. They have a variety of options for sushi, bento box and other Japanese dishes. I ordered the green vegetables with garlic and vegetable dumplings with a spider roll which were all amazing. I found the spider roll to be overly battered but it was still very good in taste. This is a mom and pop type place with plenty of seating, a sushi bar area and friendly service.“

“"Sushi is a cultural ambassador that bridges the East and the West." - UnknownIt was my initial visit to the establishment. We were provided seating at a sizeable table for our corporate meet-and-greet luncheon for the newly hired employees. Due to capacity constraints, space was limited, resulting in restricted elbow room.Now, disregarding the aforementioned inconvenience, the Mango Tango sushi roll emerged as the exceptional highlight of the experience. It was nothing short of remarkable, an exquisite culinary delight that surpassed any previous sushi experience I have had the privilege of enjoying. The egg drop soup complemented the meal perfectly, delivering an exceptional gustatory experience. Our server demonstrated attentiveness, politeness, and exceptional courtesy throughout the service.In conclusion, I hold this establishment in high regard. The sushi is truly exceptional, characterized by robust flavors and offered at a reasonable price point. The ambiance can be described as semi-casual and cozy, although it may not be the most suitable venue for large gatherings. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and bestow upon it my highest commendation.“

“Delicious food, great service.“

“A unique experience great spicy shrimp dish“

“I love this place. The food is always amazing. Today we stopped in for lunch. I had a tempura handroll - excellent! The Masa Tower, my go to. An order of spring rolls, side of kimche and fried rice came home as I was full from the tower. It is all so good and fresh. Service is great as well, attentive without hovering. Nice decor, clean and varied seating for solo diners and groups.“

“I apologize to the chefs for the other incredibly rude patrons glued to their phones during the presentation. Does anyone actually talk anymore? A whole family and each one engrossed with their electronic device not even speaking?Any complaints about chefs "not into it" should be considered in the context of the patrons. If everyone is glued to their phones why bother?“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Everything was on point! Great atmosphere.“

“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.“

“I love this place. They've been around long enough for the familiarity and nostalgia that comes with a deserved reputation but are still current and hold their own. I like the atmosphere. Something about it reminds me of the early 90s. Probably the fresh water fish tank and not so hidden ceramic buddha lounge kitty cat collector's cocktail cups. Happy hour sushi is a good deal. Anything with avocado and spicy salmon substituted for the fake crab is worth it. I won't lie. I'm a sucker for the shrimp tempura. The hibachi table can be a fun, family dinner.Vegetarian options: A huge pile of vegetables on the hibachi is hard to beat. They say seaweed salad is good for you. Lots of zinc or something.“
