Edo Japan — Restaurant in Houston

I practically live to eat sushi & sashimi and this place fills the bill with no problems at all. All you can eat sushi for $19.99, really really good sushi and a ton of other options including appetizers, salads and a few hibachi items. Let's get to what was for dinner. Appetizers : Rock Shrimp - 10/10 Crispy, perfectly fried rock shrimp with a creamy slightly spicy sauce. Melt in your mouth fried shrimp are hard to come by but it happened and can't wait to get them again.

Gyoza - 7/10 Great pan fried dumplings that were as good as if not better than most .

Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura - 7/10 Nice and crunchy, as good as any other sushi joint.

All the sushi and nigiri were phenomenal except for one roll, The Cow Boy roll. It sounds great but had a surprise sauce that turned what may have been a good roll into an inedible one. Try if you must but you have been warned. Lol.

Nigiri :

White Tuna. - 9/10 Tuna. - 9/10 Smoked Salmon. - 10/10 Eel. - 9/10

Sushi :

Double Crunch Roll - 9/10 (Shrimp tempura, spicy crab, tempura flakes )

Dancing Eel Roll. - 4/10 (Spicy crab, avocado in-side, fopped eel avocado, eel sauce) I love everything eel but this one just didn't make the cut.

Cow boy Roll. - 1/10 * (Spicy crab, avocado inside topped rare steak) This roll also comes with a surprise sauce not listed that made it hands down the worst roll I have ever had.

Dancing Crab Roll. - 8/10 (Cucumber, shrimp tempura inside topped with eel avocado, eel sauce and tobiko)

Flying Dragon Roll. - 8/10 (Cucumber, shrimp tempura inside topped with eel avocado, eel sauce)

Philadelphia Roll. - 10/10 (Avocado, Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese)

Eel Cucumber Hand Roll - 10/10 (Cucumber, Eel, Eel Sauce)

Texas City Roll. - 9/10 (Shrimp tempura, spicy crab cream cheese avocado deep fried) Hands down the best sushi deal around with tons of choices, excellent customer service and did I mention all you can eat top shelf sushi. Seriously a must try, you won't be...

I've probably ate here about 20+ time by now and tried 90% of their items, I think it's time to make a review now. Overall, the food is decent, some really good and some just okay. Stuffing a lot of rice in the rolls and nigiri so we get full fast is a respectable strategy but gets old fast. Getting the sashimi upgrade is the way to go.

Do not go crazy ordering the rolls, you will be full after the 1st one, order the nigiri sushi if you're lightweight. The alcohol here is honestly pretty great, the sake bomb say less, authentic and hits 💯. The servers and waiters are some of the friendliest in the industry, very professional and patient, don't be afraid to ask for anything or information, they have the answers.

If you're new, I suggest going for their lunch special, introduces you to their menu (not the full menu but still has everything for beginners).

Only 4 stars because they need a full team to give it a good cleaning every now and then, it's not visible, but I've sat most of the places in the restaurant, and it's very dirty under the table, corner of the booth seats, and table stands. It's almost turns you off if you notice it. Plus it looks kinda sparse in the restaurant, the Japanese theme could be stronger, much much stronger: lanterns, warm lighting, etc. The music could be better at times, salsa and la chona just don't fit if you know what I mean, of course it's not all the time, but needs a dedicated Playlist.

I highly recommend you stopping by during lunchtime and try this place out. It'll most likely become one of your favorites as well. Shumai, seaweed salad, and miso soup could be better if I'm being honest. Thanks for reading my review and hope you have a...

Pretty great if you love avocado. Otherwise not so much. Group of three people. Pretty sure this place gave 2 in our group diarrhea. They both had the spicy salmon roll, it was pretty terrible. The rolls and nigiri looked like they were made by a home cook who learned from YouTube and was making sushi for the first time. The shrimp and avocado roll had almost zero shrimp and half of an avocado in each piece. The akuma roll was swimming in so much of the sauces that its all you could taste. The spicy salmon looked like mushy ground salmon and was warmer than room temp. The rolls had patches were there was no rice because of how uneven the rice was spread on the nori (seaweed). The nori was extremely stretchy and chewy like it has been left out and the humidity got to it. Fish quality and cuts were extremely sub par for the nigiri. Wish I would have taken pics of that to show how bad it looked. Miso soup had zero flavor. The hibachi steak was cold. Overall probably the worst sushi experience we've ever had anywhere, almost felt like someone was playing a prank on us and recording to see if we would complain. I feel like the people giving 5 stars are people that genuinely don't know any better and really do think this is good sushi. The only positive is that our server was courteous...
