First time here & will not be my last!!! Delicious, very flavorful, excellent service (thank you Chau). This is an excellent place!! The dessert at the end of the cheesecake was the finishing touch to a wonderful meal.

Little Ginger is highly recommended. Whether you are looking for delicious and fresh sushi or cooked dishes, or just a great experience with friends and family, they do not disappoint.

My husband and I have gone here almost every week for over a year! They are some of the most friendly people and the food and service is outstanding! Whenever anyone needs a suggested place to go we immediately say Little Ginger!

Delicious sushi that comes out quick! The servers are sweet and actively engage with the customers. A very lovely spot.

I really like this cozy little restaurant that's warm and friendly. A great place to spend time relaxing and thinking while enjoying great food and attentive service.

Very glad to try out this place, sashimi is fresh and tuna crisp is tasty. Kingwood finally has a decent sushi restaurant.

My favorite Japanese go to spot in kingwood area, lunch special is a great deal. As for dinner, I love their poke bowls and sashimi, occasionally they give out homemade dessert for free, they have the best tiramisu ever!!

Love this little place. The food is always good and the staff are really nice. We try to go here at least once a week. It’s a nice place to have in Kingwood.

My go-to sushi spot! Service is always excellent, sushi is always fresh. Love the king poke bowl.

Food is absolutely delicious, The bento boxes are amazing and the crab puffs are exquisite! Definitely 💯

Little Ginger is my favorite sushi spot in Kingwood! The Caterpillar Roll is my all-time favorite, and today I tried their new appetizer, the Crispy Tuna Cloud — it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this amazing local restaurant!

Me and my wife have come in here time after time and always leave with a smile. The staff is always knowledgeable to questions and super kind. The food is always delicious one of the few places I feel comfortable trying new things. If you aren’t eating here you are really missing out on the best experience.

I had an overall good experience here good and quick service, the servers were really nice. The food was really good i would recommend the tuna sushi, the rocket roll and the houston maki. Overall a good restaurant to eat at!

Amazing! This is my go to sushi place! I always get the Rocket Roll and it never misses! They also gave is a desert for free and it was so so good! 10/10 I will always come back!

We love Little Ginger. The food is amazing and the staff is so attentive. Our favorite family date night spot.

We had another wonderful dinner at Little Ginger! Sorry for the late review. We are actually going to dine with Michael at Little Ginger today! Very excited to enjoy some Uni! Michael texted my husband to let him know he was able to purchase some Uni as he knew we were wanting some! Thank you, Michael, you are a great guy and Little Ginger is delicious every single time! At our last visit, we enjoyed some edamame, fresh seaweed salad with squid, salmon, jalapeno crab and cream cheese appetizer (so yummy) and Austn Roll. Everything was fresh and delicious! We look forward to dining there today and highly recommend lunch or dinner when you crave sushi. They also serve many other things, not just sushi. Great restaurant, friendly and personable service and delicious food! Melinda and Darrell Breaux

The waitstaff are attentive and quick. It is also a nice relaxed atmosphere. Update: We've gone dozens times so far since the first review. Same level of service. It's our favorite sushi place. They let me name a couple of custom rolls since we get them all the time now. One's called the Natsu Kashi Roll. It is the rice based roll. The other is the Kobayashi Maru. It's one of the cucumber rolls in the pictures. Please try one. I hope you enjoy it.

Little Ginger is a must-try restaurant in the Kingwood area. It’s only about 20 minutes from IAH, and I stopped by for a quick bite before my flight—so glad I did. I tried several items from the menu and everything was excellent. The skewers were incredibly delicious, especially the steak, which was perfectly marinated and full of flavor. The crispy tuna cloud was absolutely amazing, and the Japanese scallops were sweet, fresh, and nicely crunchy. Hands down, this is the best sushi restaurant in Kingwood. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

This Japanese restaurant in the Kingwood area has quickly become one of my favorite spots for fresh, high-quality food. The sashimi is consistently excellent—super fresh, perfectly cut, and full of flavor. Their sushi rolls are just as impressive, with thoughtful combinations and great presentation. The tempura deserves a special mention as well. It’s light, crispy, and never greasy—exactly how good tempura should be. You can tell they take pride in their technique and ingredients. Service is always warm and attentive, and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The value for money is also great, especially considering the quality you get. A wonderful bonus: every now and then, the owner surprises guests with a complimentary homemade dessert. It’s a thoughtful touch that really elevates the whole dining experience. Overall, a must-visit if you’re in Kingwood and craving top-notch Japanese cuisine!

Little Ginger is hands down the best sushi in the Kingwood area. I had the bluefin tuna hand roll and the special bluefin roll—both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. You can really taste the quality of the fish. On top of that, their shrimp tempura is the best in the area—crispy, light, and not greasy at all. Amazing food and a must-visit for sushi lovers!

The best Asian restaurant in Kingwood! Their bento box is such a great deal. My fiancé and I come here at least once a week. I love their Sesame Chicken, Fried Shrimp Poke, and Chicken Fried Rice—everything is always delicious!

This place is amazing, the food is great and tasty, the waiters deliver the food fast, and the looks of this place is amazing. My personal favorite food from here is the shaggy dog roll, it’s just so good! 10/10, would eat here again!

This place is awesome! The waiter even gave us a sample of a dessert. Also the atmosphere was quiet and chill. Tried the shaggy dog and it was amazing! 10/10 for sure! Everything on their menu is amazing 😍

Had Hawaiian poke bowl and popcorn chicken. The poke bowl was seriously good. I mean really really good! The large is more than enough for a meal by itself. The popcorn was good too. Crispy and spicy. Service was good. Attentive, but not bothersome. Nice clean place. I will definitely be back when in Kingwood.

Little Ginger has become one of my favorite spots in the area. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi is super high-quality, the rolls are creative without being overwhelming, and the sashimi tastes incredibly clean. The Chinese dishes are just as impressive — perfectly seasoned, great portion sizes, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff is beyond friendly, attentive, and fast, even during busy hours. The restaurant is spotless, cozy, and has a really relaxing atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you want great sushi, comforting Chinese dishes, or a mix of both, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!

This is a perfect pearl of a sushi restaurant! After living in LA for 45 years, we moved to Kingwood and never expected to find this kind of sushi! Fresh, delicious -the LA Roll, Houston Roll and Ginger Maki are outstanding! The atmosphere is cozy with a soundtrack that is all classic jazz .. Did I mention the special after dinner sweet treat? Handmade - If you’re lucky, you’ll experience this treat (when available!). We are totally “hooked” and highly recommend Little Ginger! ❤️

This restaurant is a hidden gem! The quality of the fish is top-notch, and the chefs clearly put care into every detail. Service is efficient without feeling rushed, and the ambiance makes it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.

First time here. It was a Friday night, it was very busy. We had appetizers crab puffs were delicious, calamari nice and crisp ( I usually don’t like calamari, but this was so good), takoyaki not a fan. For main plate had Kung Pao ribeye steak bento box, came with fried rice, egg roll, salad, gyoza, and wonton soup. The steak was flavorful as well as the wonton soup. Special Lo Mein was ok a 2.5 out of 5. Family had teriyaki donbury ( rice bowl) they loved it. Also had sushi and sashimi deluxe it was very fresh. For drink I had the cucumber mint lemonade it was good. Overall will go back servers were very nice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Little Ginger is a solid spot for Japanese and Chinese food. The service was fast, the staff were friendly, and everything came out quickly without any issues. The food itself was decent—nothing over the top, but definitely enjoyable and fresh. One tip though: don’t get the sake—it was awful and really not worth it. Overall, a good experience. I’d give it a 4/5 and would come back again for a casual meal.

Not great sushi. Fish seemed not fresh, except the maguro which was good. Handrolls need some work. They should be tight like a cigar not mushy.

Tried this place for the first time today. Ordered a large won ton soup and an order of egg rolls for about $11. Picked it up and the hostess was kind and gave me my order. I was a bit disappointed in the portion sizes, the egg rolls are mini and the wonton soup doesn't seem like a large order. The broth has no flavor and tastes very watered down. The wonton themselves are a bit overcooked and small. Total of 4 wontons in my order. Egg rolls were not my favorite. Would not try this place again.

During my Thursday lunch visit, I ordered the generals lunch portion of the chicken and it was very tough and didn’t taste like real chicken, so I couldn’t enjoy it. I ordered the Super Shaggy Dog, but that was also a letdown. I’ve visited this restaurant several times, but unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. The shrimp portion in my roll felt skimmed, and the roll itself was noticeably smaller than the same one I had the night before. I also asked specifically if the Super Shaggy Dog contained imitation crab, and I was told it did not—yet it came with crab stick, which is imitation. I’ve had good experiences here in the past, which makes this more frustrating. I hope this feedback helps improve consistency and quality for future guests.
