Japaneiro's

Visited this restaurant for a family lunch after perhaps 15+ years - diverted here as we could not get into another restaurant that was our first choice. Thought the place had expanded in space in the intervening years, but Amanda, our server, assured us that that was not the case. Service was friendly - ordered Edamame and Yucca Fries as appetizers and Personal Sushi Sampler, Korean “Guru Bowl” Poke Bowl (Beef), and Veggie Tostadas. Dessert consisted of Chocolate Mousse Cake and Berry Bread Pudding - a shot of Rum ordered separately to soak the bread really helped with nostalgia, after having repeatedly savored Louisiana Bread Pudding at the finest restaurants (not necessarily all in fine surroundings) in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, etc. Food arrived relatively promptly and tasted fresh and flavorful. The meal with tip set us back approx. $130 - not at all cheap, especially for lunch, and sans alcohol (except for a $7 shot of Rum). However, nice to have returned to what was a go-to restaurant 15 years ago!

I visited for the first time over the weekend. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful this place is - great atmosphere. We sat a high top in the bar area. We ordered hot sake which was good. I cannot remember the name of the drink I had but it was heavy with basil - I love basil but it was far too much and drowned out the entire cocktail. The sushi, nigiri and edamame were nothing special - it was all good but nothing you cannot find at any sushi or fusion restaurant. It was a nice experience but nothing I would return for unless meeting friends and they chose it.

Delicious Fusion Brunch with Great Service – Just Wish for Outdoor Seating! If you’re in the Sugar Land First Colony area and looking for an incredible brunch spot, Japanerio’s is a must-visit! This Latin-Japanese fusion restaurant offers a unique and flavorful menu that keeps you coming back for more. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and a creative mix of flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The atmosphere inside was lively and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal. JOHN was take good care of us. One thing that could elevate the experience? Outdoor seating! With this beautiful weather, it would be wonderful to have the option to dine outside and soak in the fresh air. Hopefully, they consider adding this in the future! A small downside is the paid parking, which was a bit unexpected, but overall, the experience was still worth it. Japanerio’s remains a fantastic spot for brunch for us, and we will definitely be back!

Japaneiro’s has a unique Japanese and Latin fusion. The staff are super friendly, attentive and informative. The overall vibe is modern, chill and trendy. The food has both familiar but distinct elements that makes it worth trying at least once if you’re nearby, and given it’s in Sugarland Town Square, is a good chance if you’re visiting the area or live nearby. That said, the quantity is a bit on the lower side for the price. Still enough to be comfortable but you’re paying for the experience and location. The poke bowl costs as much as a sushi roll which seems like a good value but has a lot less protein than comparably tasting and priced bowls in Houston. Overall, still worth going for just be aware of the premium!

If you are looking for a nice place to celebrate or just a great dinner date, I highly recommend Japanerio's! Every time I have come here all of their meals flavor and quality are way beyond average over other sit down restaurants. The beers and mixed drinks were also quality, anything you order here will taste great. For dessert the fried Oreos with ice cream are different and everyone enjoyed it. The booths have high partitions to give you privacy between tables, service was very friendly and informative. I love this place, if you are in the sugar land area, or willing to drive out to try good food, this place is a top pick!

I enjoyed everything about the food here. Every item was tasty from the appetizers to our sushi dishes!

Went on a Sunday night for a surprise celebration for a friend. We had a table of six and although each individual arrived one at a time, we were seated upon arrival. Giselle was amazing! She kept up with each order by memory, entertained our shenanigans and was really sweet overall! I usually come for lunch so this was my first time for happy hour and dinner and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed everything!

Really liked the Avacado soup, The Noodles with Shrimp. Definitely going again for other seafood items Customer service was great
