5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Galveston

“We had it delivered and what was supposed to be served warm was still warm and sushi was presented beautifully- especially for to go. Dumplings were yummy, but the shumai I would not re-order. Not bad - just meh. Best crab Rangoon I have had in a long time and delicious spicy/sweet dipping sauce too. Both sushis were especially delicious and fresh. Will definitely order again!!!“

“This restaurant came highly recommended…And everything that was said about it was true. It is sort of a hidden gem. I had never noticed it before since it sits behind another well-known restaurant . Wait staff was very pleasant and service was great! Restaurant and bathrooms are very clean My husband and I could’ve probably split our meal and it would’ve been sufficient for each of us. We ordered the Crab Rangoon appetizer and each had General Tso’s chicken combo with fried rice. Their rice is yellow, but still very tasty. We will be back now that we found them!Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Very roomy restaurant that can accommodate anyone in a wheelchair.“

“The rice is good. I just make sure they don’t out the sesame seeds in it. That doesn’t make it taste bad I just prefer it not to be in my rice. I have had the shrimp, the chicken and the beef fried rice. None of them disappoint. My kids love it too. Also love their boba drinks as well.“

“Had dinner for a friend's birthday celebration, and we enjoyed it a lot! Servers are so nice! There is a ton of indoor seating for small and large groups. Ordered the sushi bento box, which was a great price! The fish was fresh and tasty. Also ordered a cocktail and sake bomb, which is always something fun to do in a group! Really enjoyed the complimentary birthday dessert they brought out while playing a happy birthday song and dimming the lights to really see the sparkling candles“
