Tequenos 3ct.
Emy A.

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.

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.

Money Roll & Spicy Sugar Land
Kasey Y.

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.

Crab Puffs

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.

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!

The avocado cream soup. I travelled 1,500 miles just for this!!!!
Yolanda S.

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!!!

Mt. Mount Fuji Roll
Fazley R.

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.

Tyler W.

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.

Our server was so helpful and everything we had was delicious we will definitely return!

Atomic Nachos
Mattie L.

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.

Fiji roll
Genevieve A.

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

Steak
Scott L.

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

Beef with Carmelized onions
Stephanie B.

100% recommend Food was amazing Especially those crab puffs Service was excellent Can get a bit noisy in there but loved the atmosphere! Seated quickly too for a Friday night.

Do they make reservations?

No they do not

Is the $5 sake bomb on the HH menu just one serving? Or is it a full set with multiple servings?

8oz

What time is their Happy Hour? Do they have lunch specials?

Lunch Specials are amazing! I want to say it's $12 and you get a three-course meal. Excellent options! HH, I want to say is 4-6 but could be wrong!

Which rolls are offered as Half? instead of the full order? Thanks in advance

The rolls come as a full dinner roll. You may ask your waiter if you can get the lunch portion instead which is usually a smaller roll.

How much is sushi during happy hour?

It depends on what you get. There are limited sushi options on the happy hour menu. Rolls on the happy hour menu are $5-7.

Does this place have something other than sushi?

They do. It's good place to if you want to go eat with someone that doesn't eat sushi.

I picked up a customer of mine and he said let's go to a small South American place just down the street. From the outside, didn't look like much. From the inside, much bigger and certainly a South American flair. World Cup is going on so all the TVs had that on. Tons of wines sitting out , mostly Malbecs, my fav. Just a great vibe. But on to the main course. We both had the steak picanha. Med Rare. On my. Good Lord. This was awesome. I generally don't eat steaks out as they are overpriced and not cooked to my liking. The chef did an awesome job. Med Rare - spot on. Perfecto. I've been to Argentina many times in business and eaten many great steaks, this can be included in that. I know, I know...people swear by Pappa's Steak or Taste of Texas, but this small, unassuming place tops them all. And a fantastic SA wine list. Please give them a try. Will not be disappointed.

The lunch menu came with a choice of either soup or salad, which I got the lentil soup. The soup was thick and hearty. It was very good. My steak was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The sides were well-seasoned too. The size of the steak, to me, was sufficient and considered big for a lunch menu. I had a triple chocolate tres leches after my steak. It was the perfect ending. I received warm and excellent service throughout my lunch. The restaurant is big and suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

I came here the day after Thanksgiving and wanted to give it a try with my family. The place was…read morecompletely empty and only one server was working. I get it - it's right after the holidays so staffing could be short. The server we had wasn't exactly enthusiastic, just did the bare minimum. Dishes piled up and we weren't asked about refills. You'd figure because there was only 1 group that the service would be attentive, but nope! The food that we ordered from the kitchen were all super fresh and delicious. My favorites were the bulgogi gimbap, eggroll (tiny rolled egg omelette), and chicken wings! They come out super hot - loved them all. The hot buffet bar was not filled at all, some were even just empty. I found it disappointing that we didn't get to try a lot of their items. The hot buffet bar was really scarce, I mean, just fried dumplings and fries but they were refilled really slow and some never had refills. The boba bar was empty and never filled. The DIY ramen station was closed off. I tipped only because I felt like I had to, but the service was abysmal. I would come back but maybe for lunch instead of dinner. Hopefully service improves.

I'm so glad that I finally got to try sweet pot! It's so great to try a bunch of foods that you…read morenormally wouldn't order at non ayce places. I think for the experience the price was well worth it! I recommend you upgrade and do the 28.45 dinner portion as you have full access to the menu. My favorite dishes were the fried pork belly- so crispy and yummy And the rose broth pot was so savory and sweet- would love to get this again. Service was fantastic! The owner and Nathan were amazing! Inside is really cute and and great for bigger groups.
