This has always been our sushi go to place in Houston. The food is always awesome whether you're looking for sushi or traditional Japanese dishes. We're always look forward to seeing what the sushi specials are, and you definitely can't go wrong with those! The staff is friendly and the owners have always made us feel like family when we're there.
My husband lived in Japan and has extremely high standards when it comes to sushi. Teppay exceeded our expectations! Great sushi, excellent service, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!
3.5 stars - Everything we got for lunch was good, but nothing that was amazing. Their lunch bento boxes are a great value for only $15. My friends thought the ramen was just ok, and my California roll and spicy tuna roll were delicious. Cute, but small restaurant and the way the tables and chairs were spaced out it felt a little cramped.
Really delicious food and swift service.
The waitress was super nice and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the fatty tuna sashimi from here! They give a really thick cut and for a good price. The agedashi is also my favorite from here. Bento boxes are all good but I ordered the salmon one in my most recent visit to Teppay.
A great lunch to have every once in awhile!! Thank you Teppay!!!
Wow 🤩
Fresh fish, delicious sushi and sashimi special!
Excellent service. We have an infant and they proactively offered extra tofu for a baby 👶🏻. Also baby threw away his toy on the way out that we did not noticed and the staff ran out to the parking lot to get the toy back to us!
lots of photos i had saved up in my camera roll. this place was really good for sushi, amazing. i got a ramen here in which i was a bit disappointed with the choice of meat and when it came to flavor i honestly expected more out of here. besides that my brother got the chicken curry, delicious and good breaded crumbly goodness. this place had hand rolls and i got the spicy salmon and it was perfect. salmon chunky goodness. this place was great and i would come again if i am in the area!! the inside was beautiful and so nice. Japanese decor with a tight comfy cute knit spot that felt very homey. love it here!!
This place was a hidden gem, tucked away in a Westheimer strip mall. The atmosphere is immaculate, intimate and cozy. It feels like a blend of upscale atmosphere with casual clientele.
We showed up without a reservation. luckily it wasn't too busy so we got a seat right away. Servers were very attentive throughout the dinner.
The onigiri is cheaper than HEB and way better. Ume is an acquired taste, but I love it and they delivered. The chirashi and sashimi were very high quality and melted in my mouth. The curry was also a standout. It was filling without feeling too heavy.
We'll definitely be back to try the omakase :)
Delicious food. I highly recommend 2 servings of Karubi Amiyaki for an appetizer. That was awesome. Also, the Shitake Ebizume was good, too.
Cozy and authentic atmosphere!
Friendly service, though expect a longer than usual for food to be served...guess we know they're made-to-order 😋
Nabeyaki udon: flavourful broth, al dente udon and perfectly crisp tempura; well done 👏🏻
Teppay: A Sushi Lover's Dream
The otoro at Teppay is so good, it's like it was caught by Poseidon himself and blessed by the gods of Mount Olympus. It's the most flavorful, fatty, and melt-in-your-mouth otoro I've ever had.
Teppay is a Japanese restaurant in Houston that is known for its fresh sashimi. I recently went to Teppay for dinner, and I was blown away by the quality of the fish.
The sashimi was so fresh, it melted in my mouth. Even the regular tuna was amazing, but the otoro was out of this world. It was so fatty and flavorful, it was like I was eating tuna from the gods.
The other dishes at Teppay were also excellent. The tempura was crispy and light, and the sushi rolls were perfectly made.
The service at Teppay was also great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they were happy to make recommendations.
Overall, I had an amazing experience at Teppay. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi experience.

Overall, I would highly recommend Teppay to anyone looking for a great sushi experience. The food is incredible, the service is excellent, and I would definitely go back again.
teppay has been one of my fav spots houston for years now!
not too many japanese restaurants serve chawannushi (must be ordered as 2) & im soo happy teppay does! always the freshest ingredients & great sake choices. the restaurant can feel a bit cramped, but reflects an authentic japanese dining experience.
make reservations — this place gets deservingly busy.
Not sure how it took us this long to find this place but glad we did! A local sushi chef recommended Teppay as the best sushi in Houston and I'd have to say they're probably right. The place makes me feel like I'm in Japan again. The rice has the right amount of vinegar and the cuts of fish were pristine. Highly highly recommended.
