Gerzan Chau Shrimp poboy tasted fresh and delicious. Bread reminded me of a torta. Boudin ball was super tasty. My boy enjoyed the chicken tenders. Juicy and crisp with great flavor. Red beans rice was flavorful but not too spicy for my 2 yr old. Definitely coming back. Nice price too

TLP Great food, great menu. I appreciate the variety of offerings that you wouldnt often find, like brisket chili and brisket nachos. The sausage baked potato was the largest Ive ever seen. My cousin who knows Texas BBQ well and has traveled the state in search of the very best BBQ loves Killens and introduced me to it.

Travis Wright Great little Japanese restaurant. King Crab and scallop foie gras were excellent - dont miss the scallops. Extra spicy ramen was excellent. Hot but with great flavor. Wish I was in this part of town more often!!!

Michelle Reynolds We eat out often, and I can honestly say we’ve never been served by such a genuinely happy employee. Emma had the biggest smile, was incredibly friendly, and made sure we understood all of our options. Her positive energy, and that contagious smile, truly made our visit memorable. Keep up the great work, Emma. We’ll definitely be back!

Adriana Perez My mom and I are longtime fans of Taglia, so we finally tried their sister restaurant—and it was incredible! Everything was light, fresh, and full of flavor. We enjoyed the Beet Hummus Dip, Spanakopita, Greek Salad, Arugula & Beet Salad with Honey Harissa Chicken Kabob, Lentil Soup, and the Rice Pudding for dessert. Each dish paired beautifully with their Greek and Spanish wines, which really elevated the meal. Our server Bella gave us excellent recommendations and made the evening even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back to try the kabob plate and the pan-seared cod with veggies. A must-visit for anyone who loves vibrant Mediterranean flavors and a great glass of wine!

Ladi RCM This is my second time coming here and the food and drinks are AMAZING. Our waiter had a little attitude like he didnt want to give us our food, but we got it and the food was amazing.

Rebecca Robinson - Realtor The Original Gringo’s in Pearland never disappoints! We came out to celebrate my friend’s birthday—this was her spot of choice—and it was the perfect place to celebrate. We ordered a variety of Mexican dishes and every single plate was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you crave when you come to Gringo’s. Our waitress, Lauryn, was absolutely amazing—attentive, kind, and on top of everything the whole time. She went the extra mile and surprised the birthday girl with a piece of tres leches cake, and it was incredible. I really wish I had gotten a picture because it was that good! If you’re in Pearland and looking for great Mexican food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere, I highly recommend The Original Gringo’s. Total win for food and service!

Jaelyn Melena I haven’t been to Texas Roadhouse in YEARS and I don’t know why. Our server was very attentive and the service was really quick. The rolls were definitely worth all the hype — they were fresh and paired very well with the cinnamon butter. I ordered the Ft. Worth Ribeye with mashed potatoes, and a house salad. The steak was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. I was thoroughly satisfied with the portion sizes. This is a solid place to visit for a steak.

Tom Bidot Walking in, you couldnt see that this place was busy, but it was very well sectioned off, and each section seemed to be packed with people, everyone having a good time. It smelled great, and the entire vibe was fun, friendly, and festive. I wanted to get the sampler platter, but it said no substitutions. I asked the server just to confirm since Im allergic to shellfish. She said there was no way to substitute anything, which was completely unfortunate for people with allergies, and the only reason why I cant give five stars for this review. So I ordered their specialty chimichanga. It was definitely smaller than most places and not deep-fried; it was more of a burrito, but the triangle-shaped rice was a cute addition. I would recommend anyone to come here if theyre interested in any Tex-Mex type of food. The server I had was attentive, knew the menu very well, and gave wonderful service. I would come here again. As I walked out, they had a free self-serve soft-serve ice cream cone machine.

Highly recommended whether you’re a ramen enthusiast or trying it for the first time.

Phoebs P This is my fourth time visiting Nishiki in just the past few months. Each visit leaves me even more impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and the variety of food choices. Theres no need to head to the Heights or Uptown for top-notch Japanese cuisine, this neighborhood gem has it all. The variety of sushi is excellent. The truffle fried rice is my personal favorite. Cocktails are always great. The service is consistently outstanding. The outdoor seating is comfortable, and parking is not a problem.
