mediocre

by Honoree

This restaurant was not what i thought at all. It was loud, therefore not romantic at all, though the decor was pretty. Sushi was long in getting to the table and frankly not spectacular. Miyako across the street is cheaper and better food.

I'm Not a Sushi Person

by WinkieDaPimp

I was not s sushi lover, but I am now. The wait staff was extremely courteous and polite. I think the sushi here is wonderful. (I have become a sushi addict). The atmosphere is a very romantic, low lighting envoronment. The decour is peaceful and interesting. I have been going about once a week for the past month. YUM! When the restaraunt is busy, service is slower (but what restaraunt isn't). The sushi bar is great by yourself to relax and read. Wonderful place!

• Pros: Atmosphere, Pricing, Courteous

Like this Better!!!!

by ClickIt

Japanese restaurants around Kirby area have raised by number incredibly. I have tried most of them. However, I only fall in love with Cafe Japon. I can't resist to go back every time I go there. Cafe Japon's Nabeyaki udon is the best!! Their Sesame Chicken mm.. so delicious!! For the sushi, I like Toro, Blufin, and Amaebi. They also, have baked scallop and Baked mussel now, I tried once and I keep ordering everytime I come back. For service, it's fast and friendly! The manager, Jesse is very nice. Just 1 critic, I hope the sushimen are nice and friendly, too.

• Pros: Romantic, Casual, Good Parking
• Cons: Small, dirty restroom

Best sushi for the price in town!

by superwick

This place is soo good for sushi.. They are running a sushi special all day all week.. $1 sushi and $1.95 hand rolls.. Their sushi is very fresh and their rolls and hand rolls are very imaginative and tasteful! I go here at least once a week!

This is the Westheimer location.

• Pros: cheap, fresh, good service

Little Piece of Sushi Heaven

by astrofan30

Sushi is the freshest! Try one of their good combination or make up your own. They had most sushi for $1.00 a pc when I went. Try the Ginger Dressing on your salad, its to die for. Good price for the quality and quantity. No need for dessert, pick up a couple of the Keylime mints they have on the way out the door! This place is excellent!!!!

• Pros: Good Parking, Fresh Food, Well Priced
• Cons: Small

This is not sushi!

by mikeherrin1

If you want good sushi (fresh, large portions, priced right) go to Ginza. Houstonians need to be aware that Ginza is the best sushi in town. Just read the reviews. Japon can't even throw a rock to it.

Delicious and Cheap!

by erica11

I went here for the first time yesterday and I can't wait to go back again. The sushi was fresh and perfect and the rolls were huge and also perfect. My waitress was nice and took alot of time to help me. The manager stopped by eveyone's table to make sure everything was right. Great place for a date because it's very pretty inside.

• Pros: big portions, inexpensive, nice staff

Not the freshest

by KACKY

I was disappointed with the quality of the fish at this establishment. The pieces of sushi were thin and small- it was cheap but as the saying goes....you get what you pay for. The restaurant was nice but was not impressed with the food.

• Cons: small pieces, didn't taste fresh

Always Great!

by milkdud88

My wife and I eat here once or twice a week. The service is always good and the food is always fantastic. The sushi is fresh, the servings are large, and the manager is very customer-oriented. Gets very crowded at dinnertime. Great prices.

• Pros: Cheap, Fresh
