“ I enjoyed everything about the food here. Every item was tasty from the appetizers to our sushi dishes! ”
“ This was my Birthday brunch. Our group included Birthday mom, Vegan daughter, and super hungry son-in-law. There was awesome food for every diet style. Our waitress was very warm and friendly. As we were first timers a really good wait staff is a real plus. The food was fresh. Veggies were pleasing and fried tempura was crunchy and not greasy. Surprise fried oreo and ice cream Birthday cake finished off a perfect brunch. Great place to dine, visit, have drinks and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back again. ”

“ We have been visiting for at least ten years. We live two hours away and anytime we are in the area, this our "go to" place. Japaneiro's has the best sushi and deals! Everything from the service to the food is outstanding. The staff works as a team and I have never been disappointed. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
