This was a lot bigger than I expected and well worth the price.. You could share this with a friend or two. For my entree I had the New York strip steak Hibachi. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and the veggies were all very fresh. It came with a large side of rice, which was OK. (I prefer it sticky) For dessert I had a banana-strawberry pie that was very tasty. I was worried it was going to be too sweet, but the filling tasted like a good soft serve ice cream, and the chocolate crust gave it just the right amount of sweetness. The restaurant was clean, but the tables could use some work, as the wood is scuffed and old. Tablecloths would be an easy fix. Also, the plastic table tent that had the desserts on it was pretty crusty. Almost turned me off to the dessert! Great service! The waitress was friendly and attentive. She found the right combination of checking on me without being intrusive. I've got guests coming to visit in the next few weeks and this is definitely on my list of places to take them for a good dinner.

But all things must change and I checked out Umi Sushi & Ramen for dinner on a Sunday evening. Parking is easy in their complimentary lot that they share with a bunch of other businesses. Service (4.5/5): We were seated at a booth in the corner and our waitress made sure to check on us regularly. A little too much for my liking but over-service is certainly better than under-service. She was friendly too so I appreciate the effort. Ambiance (3/5): Your typical neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Cozy yet unremarkable. Which isn't a bad thing. I wasn't looking for fine dining. Drinks (4.5/5): I'm a bit predictable when it comes to my drinking habits at Japanese restaurants. Give me a hot house sake and a Japanese beer. Rinse repeat. Umi delivered here. And for a good price. Happy camper. Food (3/5): This is where I was wanting a little more. We started off with the edamame as an appetizer. It was a bit bland. It needed a little salt. Easy fix. From there, I went with a specialty sushi roll called the Japanese lasagna. How can I say no to a dish like that? While the name was fantastic, the roll was a little underwhelming. And I was still hungry. So I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. I've had this classic ramen dish many of times and I've seen it done at a high level. Umi's attempt is mediocre. The broth hasn't had the care that is needed for a dish like this. Nor was the pork chasu up to par. Not a bad dish, but again, underwhelming. Despite the quantity of food I ordered, the price was acceptable. At least there's that. I'm not a connoisseur of the dining scene in Angleton but I'd venture to guess that it's one of the solid options in town.

I had to ask for extra wasabi to make it "spicy" or at least to feel something cus I added curry and a few of their hot sauces and it was not spicy at all. Would I come back??

Off the Gulf of Mexico not known for Japanese food. I was surprise but the food was really good. The outside plan thinking Japanese restaurant. The moment walk inside has all Japanese vibe from interior decor, and sushi bar upfront is nice. The menu for the most part traditional items but also do daily specials. I settled on the teriyaki dinner with mushrooms (optional can do it without). It comes with miso soup, house salad, rice (brown rice as option), and vegetables. Everything was tasty. Good portion. I believe all under $20. I also wanted to try sushi got speciality roll. Legit. Service no doubt five stars. Warm welcome, friendly, attentive, and awesome.

Every detail was intentional, from the atmosphere to the presentation of each dish. The sushi was, without exaggeration, some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, perfectly balanced, and crafted with so much attention to flavor that every bite felt like its own experience. Even the edamame completely changed the way I think about edamame. Something so simple was transformed into something memorable. And the dessert? Absolutely spectacular. The presentation alone deserved applause, but somehow the flavor exceeded even that. It was one of those desserts you keep thinking about long after you leave. This wasn't just dinner -- it felt like an experience. Easily a 10/10, and honestly, it deserves even higher. One of those rare places that makes you excited to come back before you've even left the table.

I hopped on the trusty Yelp app and browsed through restaurants in Pearland. I came across Nishiki…read moreJapanese Restaurant and saw that they have an extremely high Yelp rating, so that was all of the motivation I needed. I've passed by Nishiki on numerous occasions so I was overdue to check it out. I stopped by on a Saturday morning with my mom for lunch. Free parking is easy in the shopping center they share with several other businesses including a bubble tea shop. Ambiance (5/5): Nishiki is an elegant restaurant without being stuffy. The decor is fresh and modern. Pretty much the perfect ambiance in my book. Service (5/5): Our waitress did a good job taking care of us. She stopped by regularly, she was efficient, and friendly. Everything you hope for in a service experience. Drinks (5/5): Nishiki has a full bar, but I opted for a Shirley Temple. No judgment lol. I used to love Shirley Temples as a kid. Not something you see on a lot of menus these days so it was a nice surprise. Food (5/5): The chef at Nishiki used to work at Nobu. No surprise as that level of excellence is seen in the food. Their sushi is hand rolled. I had the crunch roll which has tempura shrimp, crab, and avocado. I also tried a seasonal sushi item with scallops that's different from anything I've ever tried before. It was wrapped in seaweed and there is some plastic on the outside that you pull to keep your roll together. Cool concept! We also shared some gyoza and grilled edamame. Pro tip: go with the grilled edamame rather than the regular edamame. The grilled version has garlic and some other seasoning. Edamame to the next level. The food at Nishiki isn't cheap. But the quality is there. There's a reason the reviews are so good. It's now one of my favorite restaurants in town. Up there with Killen's BBQ.
