I love this place, but DO NOT order the Seabass!! Everyone that eat Seabass will immediately know that what they are serving is not that. When I asked the waiter, he said that it is Seabass and they charged me full price ($50) for some crappy cod anyway. Honestly, I would not mind paying for it if it was the actual Fish they advertise but it's like paying for a ribeye and then getting a bison steak. read more

This review is overdue. This is my favorite sushi place in Sugar Land. I absolutely LOVE Japaneiros! The food never fails, it's always spot on and the sushi is delicious. Their happy hour is great! They have some awesome options and great prices for drinks. Appetizers: Empanadas - 10/10 - crispy and delicious Yuzu Hamachi - 10/10 - my favorite! Dumplings - 9/10 - really good. Sushi rolls: I get these every time I go. Black widow - 10/10 - soooo delish Ika Crunch - 10/10 - top tier sushi Fiji - 9/10 - yummy Spicy SugarLand - 9/10 - tasty and spicy Other notable sushi rolls: Shaggy dog 9/10 Tropic thunder 9/10 T-Rex 9/10 Spider roll 10/10 Honestly, I've never had a sushi roll I didn't like. They are super delicious and always spot on. Their service is great. Their severs are really nice and attentive. They can get pretty busy, especially at dinner time. I recommend going during happy hour and taking advantage of their HH menu. It has a nice cool vibe and there is also outdoor seating. I 100% recommend coming here. read more

Japaneiro's has been a local Sugar Land favorite for a long time. The staff is always prompt and friendly, the atmosphere is nice and the noise level isn't too quiet nor too loud. The food was great! We started with the Yuzu Hamachi (8/10). It was fresh and was a good start to the meal. We ordered the Ika Crunch (9/10), Black Widow (9/10) and Fiji roll (8/10). All were delicious, perfectly rolled and tasted great! We've been coming for a long time and the restaurant food quality and consistency has been a testament to how long they've been around. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for happy hour, date night, or if you just want some solid sushi with great service! read more

My husband and I visited Japaneiro's for the first time Saturday afternoon. We are already planning a return trip. Kennedy was sweet and personable. She made the whole experience so enjoyable. The manager (Sophie?) was also very welcoming. We were also impressed with the woman with the long braid and shirt that said GURU. It looks like she has earned that nickname. Super speedy. I'm pretty sure she has 8 arms. Upon our next visit we will ask for Kennedy and hopefully we can be sat in the booth next to the kitchen. Thanks for such an awesome experience. read more

I finally went here to eat and enjoyed my lunch. My friend and I ordered their lunch special: ponzu salad, tequeños, tajadas (fried plantains), Texan roll and black widow roll. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was great too! This is my new favorite restaurant. The place was busy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend this place. read more

They have an awesome happy hour lunch menu. You get to pick a salad, appetizer, and sushi roll($15 worth only). The service was fine they do get busy so it's hard for the waiter to keep up. He did come by periodically and gave good suggestions and picked up like straw trash and empty plates. I tried the dumplings in which I got half fried and half steamed. I think I do like them steamed better. I tried the ponzu salad which was basically seaweed salad. I also tried the crab puffs and they were my favorite! It has some green sauce and that made the crab puffs stand out even more! Just the flavor and textures of the crab puffs were delightful. It had like something spicy mayo like sauce on it and then the outer layer was fried and the inside was like melted perfectly with what you would find in a crab puff. I also tried the hippie dragon. It had a generous amount of red topiko on top of it and then it was kinda like a Philadelphia roll but had avocado on top. The inside of the place is big for a sushi joint. It felt a little upscale but casual and affordable. The place is dimly lit to give you date vibes. Overall, this is a great option to go to if you want affordable sushi that isn't AYCE quality. read more

Came to Japanerio's to check it out and overall, the experience was pretty mid-level for me. We started with the spicy edamame and shrimp dumplings--nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. For nigiri, we ordered yellowtail, salmon, and two pieces of tuna. They were fine, but didn't really stand out compared to other sushi spots in the area. We also tried the Spicy Sugar Land roll and the Money Roll. Unfortunately, the Money Roll had way too much mayo and sauce for my liking, which completely masked the flavor of the fish. The food overall just didn't impress me as much as I was hoping. This spot has been around for a long time, and you can definitely tell from the interior--it feels a bit dated. That said, the service was the highlight of the night. Our waiter was amazing--very kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome. If anything, the staff really elevates the experience here, even if the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. read more

I tried something new at Japaneiros instead of sushi I got the grilled chicken with vegetables and sweet potato fries. It was SO good. Super flavorful and moist chicken. The seasoning was very tasty. The whole dish was excellent. I'll get it again. Of course I had to get the crab puff appetizer. I love it so much I could just order it alone. Our server was top notch. We sat outside because the weather was beautiful. We were well taken care of. Sometimes outside diners are forgotten for spells of time but not us. It was perfect. read more

Great selection and definitely worth checking out! This is a place for those who crave sushi but also for the better half that don't appreciate sushi as much. Service was very helpful and explained the menu. We went for the lunch special and what an amazing experience! You get 3 selection for the special. Each section has a variety of options available. I ordered seared tuna for an appetizer. We both ordered the lunch special which came with a salad( which had 3 different options), dumplings( just one of many options available) and speciality sushi roll( more options to choose from)! The star of the show is everything. I also loved the crab puffs that my wife ordered for her lunch selection! Ambiance was cozy with soft lighting and we sat in a booth, so I could not get any good pictures! No worries. I'll be back and explore more of the amazing menu! Over all we spent around $50 for 2! read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Sugarland by far!!!! I love everything about this place, the sushi, the non-sushi items, the drinks, the ambiance, the service, it's all fantastic!!! When I was a local, I lunched or dined at Japaneiro's at least 3 times a week. Now every time I travel to Houston, I make sure to stop by to enjoy my favorite dishes which I miss tremendously. My go-to dishes are the avocado cream soup, the maduro plantain, the money roll, and of course the tres leches!!! The food is always so consistent and the sushi is so fresh! I need a Japaneiro's in California!!!! Maybe I should talk to the owners about that, LOL!!! read more

Japaneiro's - The avocado cream soup. I travelled 1,500 miles just for this!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

My experience at Japaneiro's was top notch, and I would happily go there again any day. The service was wonderful. I walk in with a group of 5, ask for a gluten free menu, and the hostess happily got the menu and brought it with us to the table. Our server brought me GF soy sauce and told me he would make sure my food was safe even though it was on the GF menu. I got the calamari and Sugar Land sampler, and it was all great. The fish was fresh, the restaurant didn't have a concerning fishy smell, it was clean and nicely decorated with plenty of space for patrons so we weren't on top of each other. One of my guests ordered the wrong roll, and he was very patient and kind, and he talked through the different rolls to make sure the one she wanted was exactly what she was looking for. He made suggestions and took his time, and he treated her with respect and care. I was truly impressed! One could say that GF options are minimal, but for me, this menu had a little bit of everything for gluten allergies, and my server made me feel very safe eating there with my allergy. I will enthusiastically go back to Japaneiro any day, especially with this level of service! read more

Alrite, 3 years later we're back to just try their rolls. No lunch menu this time. We tried the Spicy Sugar Land, Torched Salmon, Tropic Thunder and Paradise Roll. They were all fantastic! The torched salmon was the winner. Bumped up to 4 stars overall. read more

First time at Japanieros, Giselle, was more than patient with my questions about the menu. The food itself had a lot of highlights: the dumplings were light and tasty, the veggie tempura was crisp and delightful, the toro came in sizable bites that melt in your mouth, and the fresa hamachi had a nice little kick. The seared truffle salmon was good but not great. The downside, and it's absolutely worth calling out is the sashimi sampler. The toro up-charge on it is criminal: $40. So high they have to double charge it on your receipt because their system will not let them up-charge you that much. Considering toro a la carte is $55 and the sampler is $42, it makes no sense to pay that much just for a couple pieces. Do yourself a favor and skip the sampler upgrade unless you're into souring your entire dining experience. read more

Dinner was great. I ordered the ATOMIC NACHOS Crunchy lavash chips topped with Monterey Jack cheese, crispy shrimp, chile de arbol salsa, nata cream, serrano peppers and guacamole! For the table. They tore it up before I could take the picture. Then I ordered THE NOODLE Udon Noodles stir-fried with your choice of protein, carrots, broccoli, onions, chili flakes, green onions and crispy garlic! With beef and shrimp. Delicious! Someone else ordered SEAFOOD RICE Stir-fried rice with shrimp, salmon, vegetables, herbs and spices served with sweet plantain slices. A couple of them order this. They said it was great. All seven of us were very satisfied! Ten stars. read more

Japaneiros is a casual sushi spot in sugarland! It is a tried and true spot and I've been coming here for years. I moved out the city, moved back and it is still sooo good! My fav is the Fiji roll, the plantain on top really tops it off for me maybe because I'm African. The fresa hamachi will definitely open up your nostrils lol just a heads up! The service is also always pretty good! They have a pretty good happy hour and It's never too busy read more

Arrived for "Happiest Hour" and after two double Tito's martinis, I was indeed, happy enough to ignore the bartender's half-hearted effort to add more than three olives on the side. $5.00 for six (6) dumplings and $10.00 for an excellent "Sugar Land" roll. Very delicious, explains why I cannot seem to try anywhere else among the wonderful little plaza. Service from Miranda was friendly and fast read more

The food was delicious but the service wasnt all the other servers and employees were so nice and helpful but our server was not i dont quite remember his name but he had curly hair and some what of a beard i believe but it took him over 30 min to take our order and he was taking care of all the other tables except ours and not only that but when we asked for the check and paid we were waiting on the change i think he just assumed that the change was for his go keep but when we kindly asked for our change he came by and just threw the cash on the table other than that everything else was lovely read more

Nice restaurant with kind staff and good food. They have a pretty good lunch special ($15 12-3pm if i'm not mistaken), and the fusion menu is very creative with something for everyone to enjoy. The food tasted good, but the portions are definitely on the smaller side. read more

Great sushi, love the Latin spin. The location is perfect. I love everything they make & I'm so glad they're still in business after so many years at Town Square. I've celebrated so many birthdays there (celebrated my 23rd birthday there decades ago) & had random work lunches with co-workers. Its a fun place to go with friends or family. I highly recommend Japaneiros. read more

After six hours on the road. The last thing I wanted to do was drive to get dinner, so I ordered some delivery. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the crab puffs and the reviews did not lie...AMAzing! The Tajadas were perfection... The Rock n Roll (roll) was fresh, crisp, and made me wish I had ordered a second. Although, I did order a New Zealand as well, which was pleasant. I'll be traveling to this area at least once a month and will most certainly be ordering again! read more

I didn't quite under this fusion thing they got going on. The it didn't feel significant. I just saw a mish mosh of weird menu items trying to throw Latin flavors with Japanese. Everything we ordered was just ok. Nothing too crazy. And nothing impressive. Just ok. read more

Our neighbors recommend this spot and my family and I are glad we checked it out. To start our waitress was fantastic. She recommended several rolls to try and they were all absolutely fantastic. We also had a couple of the happy hour drinks and they were also amazing. Millenium roll was the cream of the crop! Highly recommend. read more

Happy hour is everyday from 3-6 pm! Drinks are from $3-7 and food from $5-12. We ordered quite a bit off the happy hour menu and wound up full! For my drink, I tried the Prickly Pear mojito. It was ok. The alcohol content was not strong. It was more like a glass of juice. Less liquid would have made a better drink. For food, I ordered the dumplings (5), ceviche, toston, and the Sugarland roll. All my pics are the happy hour sizing. I enjoyed all the food. The dumplings were steamed and had a good filling. I loved that the ceviche was very chunky. I preferred to eat the ceviche on top of the toston instead of the chips it came with. I liked the freshness of the Sugarland roll. My stomach was happy. I like the idea of Asian Latin Fusion and feel it is very successful at this restaurant. read more

I love this spot, especially when I catch the daily happy hour from 3p-6p. They have rotating local beer for a steal of a price ($3)! I would opt for patio seating for a more relaxed dining experience. The servers are attentive and frequently visit the table. As for my food recommendations, top on the list is the Fiji roll. It is so flavorful with a plantain sauce drizzled overtop. Next would be the dumplings, which is also served with a delicious sauce. Overall, Japaneiro's is great and I will keep returning! read more

My third time dining here, and I guess my favorite thing is that there's so many places that call themselves fusion but don't really do it. The fact that you can get central American cuisine, Japanese food, and true blendings of the two is really fun. We went with sushi this time and it was just terrific and reasonably priced. The brunch special bloody Mary was also the perfect amount of spicy. Our server made confident recommendations that all turned out to be excellent, and she was really nice. I'll be back next time I am in town. read more

5/12 evening. I went to this sushi restaurant with my wife and mother for a late Mother's Day dinner, and the service was honestly disappointing and uncomfortable. Our waiter seemed to focus only on my wife the entire time and barely checked on the rest of the family. Drinks were not refilled, and the rest of us felt ignored. To make it even more unprofessional, he asked my wife to put her number on the receipt, making it seem like it was for some kind of loyalty program or sign-up. I understand being friendly, but this crossed a line and made the whole experience feel weird. We came to enjoy a family dinner, not deal with awkward and unprofessional behavior. The food may have been okay, but the service ruined the experience. I would not recommend this place and won't be coming back. read more

I don't know if I've ever reviewed this restaurant for yelp or not however, if I have not, it is a serious oversight on my part because it is a very, very good restaurant. As a general proposition, I would have lunch here and this is to the best of my recollection probably only the first time that I've had dinner However, regardless of lunch or dinner the food is absolutely superb. We had several tuna starters as well as some dumplings. From there, I had nagiri all of which was simply wonderful Uni, maguro, toro etc. All were generous cuts, and simply wonderful in freshness. The service was superb. The waiter was on top of everyone of our orders, and frankly his station was extremely busy, but he served us quite well to be very honest with you. I think a Saturday evening is probably the busiest timefor such a restaurant and our server was available to us at every moment. The ambience is quite nice nothing extraordinary, however quite nice and very clean. This is a dining experience that I would not miss to be very honest. After having written and posted this, I got a reply and a thank you from the business manager. It doesn't shock me that she is watching reviews of her restaurant and I just wanted to mention a couple omissions from my initial review. First was the bar I had smoky old fashions, which are I know a fad but in this case they're actually a very good smoky old-fashioned one where you can taste the maple in the old-fashioned. It's quite good well worth it. Secondly when you have a business establishment that is this good you forget all of the components that comprise a successful enterprise because it is so seamlessly executed, which is the case for this particular restaurant. It's not just dining. It is entertainment, and the performance is excellent. read more

We sat outside and the weather was amazing. Food was excellent the reason for the -1 Star is that I've had the skewers a few times now, but this time they were really small in comparison to my other visits. I probably would have gotten sushi if I had known. But they were still good. read more
