Very beautiful restaurant, I felt like I was back in Japan again. I have to point out how nice the bathrooms were… they had a bidet! Anyways, the food here was delicious. All raw fish options tasted fresh. The agedashi tofu was crispy, and its broth was nice and savory. The beef udon had nice thick noodles with tender meat. The scallop looked a bit underwhelming but the flavors were all there! As for the gindara, it had a nice char on the edges and the miso flavor was great! This place would be a great date night spot for sure!

Had the 12 course omakase for a birthday. Extremely delicious and well thought-out meal. Everything was fresh and you can tell by the eyes of the fish and the smell of the ingredients. Mr. Yoshi took very meticulous care of the cuts through the raw seafood. He paid especially close attention in forming the rice that went with the sushi cuts and masterfully chose cuts made from the fish that were made precisely for the mouth feel. He was also very careful with the cuts of A5 wagyu (Kagoshima black cattle with certificate present during the dinner) and cooked them to perfection. Ms. Saeko was our server and she was incredibly kind and ensured we were well taken care of. We have been to Japan and indulged ourselves in places off the beaten paths. This place felt nostalgic to us and highly recommend giving both the regular menu and omakase a try. Anyone saying that this place would be “just ordinary” in Japan is incorrect, as they did create this menu with their own personality. Teppay has been in Houston for a long time and I think they have demonstrated an artful nostalgic feel without being pretentious, especially given the circumstances that they have to import over a lot of rare fish that aren’t available here.

Teppay is a hidden gem in Houston, tucked away in a pretty deserted strip mall, but don’t let the location fool you! The food here is solid, especially the sushi and curry. Both are fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for. However, the sukiyaki dinner beef was a bit underwhelming—it wasn’t bad, just didn’t quite hit the same mark as the other dishes.

The atmosphere is humble and unpretentious, which adds to the charm. It’s a cozy, down-to-earth spot that doesn’t try to be flashy. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home.

Overall, Teppay offers a solid dining experience at a good value. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

We had a reservation at 7pm, and someone took appt and had 2 free dishes. Upon we arrived, the owner realized that there was wrong peoples taking our place. Then they rearrange our table quick and apologized for the little booking issue. The food is good and authentic. The atmosphere is relaxing . Will come back

My friend referred me here so I celebrated with a couple friends for my birthday. We ordered many dishes including ramen, sushi, sashimi, fish head, etc. I love this authentic Japanese cuisine but my favorite dish was the fried prawn heads! 10/10 so crunchy and delicious! I love how the ambience is traditional Japanese and would bring other guests here to experience this. The waiter is so kind and friendly as well. Thank you for the great service!

I did NOT expect to be blown away by the food in such a random location in Houston.
Rel authentic japanese restaurant design – beautiful. Attentive service and the food was perfect. Nigiri are prepared perfectly – very fresh fish, wasabi seasoning, small rice bed. Katsu Curry has great flavor depth and pork is crispy. Caramelized eggplant taste is on point. And even the dragon roll, although not authentic by nature, was delicious.
Can highly recommend this spot for true japanese restaurant experience

I finally had time to write this review. We went this past April and I was really excited to try this place after living nearby for 10 years and seeing a few food bloggers recommend it—but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype.

The decor was warm and inviting, which set a nice first impression. However, the service left a lot to be desired. Our server wasn’t very attentive, and we often found ourselves wondering where our food was. It seemed like a larger party in the back was getting most of the attention.

The agedashi tofu was a highlight—hot, crispy, and flavorful. But the sushi was, as the kids say these days, pretty “mid.” While the fish was sliced decently, the rice was poorly molded—thin and falling apart easily.

We also tried the beef tataki appetizer, which was supposed to be charbroiled. Instead, it seemed like it had been oven-seared and served cold, which was disappointing.

I don’t think I’ll be back, but at least now I can say I’ve tried it.

We came right when they just opened for lunch. The restaurant is very beautiful and traditional. All the food dishes were amazing; I had the sukiyaki and just wish the beef was a little more tender. Bento box options were very generous and yummy.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that strikes the perfect balance between authenticity, attentive service, and unforgettable flavor, Teppay delivers on all fronts.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a quiet confidence about the place—no gimmicks, just a warm and genuine atmosphere that reflects its culinary roots. The service is exceptional: thoughtful without being intrusive, knowledgeable without pretension. The staff clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.

But the real star here is the food. Every dish is a celebration of tradition, executed with precision and soul. From the first bite to the last, the flavors are bold, layered, and beautifully balanced. It’s clear that quality ingredients and authentic techniques are at the heart of the kitchen’s philosophy.

Tappan isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience worth savoring. Highly recommended.

A solid spot for Japanese food! My boyfriend and I had a reservation on a Friday night at 7 pm so we were seated right away when we arrived. For drinks I ordered the lychee martini and this is a must get. I personally prefer cocktails that taste like juice and this hit the spot. I not only loved how there was a citrusy/sweet sugar coating on the rim but the cocktail was also really boozy! Definitely dangerous but I enjoyed every sip haha.

For appetizer we ordered the Ika Sugatayaki and the Hamachi Kama. I appreciated how the squid was cooked just right so it was soft and the soy sauce glaze on top was perfect. As for the Hamachi Kama, this is a must get! The fish was very light, moist, and tender and when you squeeze lemon juice on top and pair it with the daikon oroshi, it’s fantastic.

As for the main course, I had the Tempura and my boyfriend had the Tonkatsu. I loved how Teppay did the tempura batter right. Many places have a super thick/dense coating but Teppay does it very light which gave the tempura that airy crisp texture when you bite into it. I also loved how they put daikon oroshi in the dipping sauce! The portion is pretty big so I ended up taking some home- popped it in the air fryer the next day and it tasted just like when it was freshly served.
As for my boyfriend’s tonkatsu, he said it was just okay. If I recall correctly, I believe he said something along the lines of how the meat was a little too dry. But he really enjoyed the potato salad that came on the side.
Aside from the hot dishes, we also got nigiri’s. The star of the show was the ama ebi (sweet shrimp). Although it costs a little extra, it also comes with the shrimp’s fried head so it’s worth it!

We weren’t able to explore the interior since we were seated right near the door but from the pictures I saw online, there should be a traditional seating style in the back with the tatamis. As for our server, she was sweet but also a little all over the place. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will be coming back!
