Sasaki Japanese Restaurant

User Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

It’s easy to miss this spot even though it’s on Westheimer. Step in, look around and greeted by Japanese women, you’ll feel like you step into one of those family-owned restaurants on a street somewhere in Japan. There’re many Japanese over there during dinnertime. They probably feel like home, too.

You’ll find mirin-sautéd nimono—cold-serving vegetables that are delicate in flavor and rarely appeared in menus of Houston’s Japanese restaurants—for appetizer. Dabbing your chopsticks in them will make you appreciate the fact that the owner/chef would still spend time and effort to prepare them.

Sushi is very fresh but the sushi rice ball underneath is no longer firm (sushi chef is getting old). If you’re not a fan of raw meat, you can try ramen noodle or udon. Or you can try the bento box, which is my favorite because the sautéd nimono comes with it.

An advise on parking at the back—try to avoid it. There’re too many potholes and it doesn’t make me feel safe, especially at night.
