It's been over 7 years since I dined in at Nobuko, but my friend and I decided to come back since…read moreour original plan to go to Sushi Masa was changed because of the high traffic. Glad to say that I enjoyed my time back. The inside decor was quiet, but still neat and clean. It was simple but still aesthetically kept. Our server was excellent and really funny! He was patient with us when we had questions. I ordered their Omakase Roll ($20.95). First off, the rolls are HUGE! The taste was good, but the rolls kept falling into pieces when I try to pick it up. Overall, I had a good experience back to Nobuko. I know there's a lot of sushi options in the Westbank, but I'd say it's a decent sushi spot in the Manhattan area.

Ok so they are open until 11pm. If you have ever gone to a late-ish movie around here you have…read morediscovered that that is a rare quality, so bonus points there. Restaurant was appealing and good service. Howeva - the sushi was just like a C. You know what I'm talking about - that kind of sushi that looks very appealing and (when you first start to eat it) seems pretty decent but then as you go on you realize all the rolls and rice and seaweed have been made like two days before and it's all been sitting around in a refrigerato. And then, when you eat it, it's just sort of rubbery and intractable. It's not really "bad food" or "inedible" but you know that every other bite you eat is slowly eroding your taste for sushi away. You know if you eat too much of it you'll just never eat sushi again because your idea of it has will have become so mediocre. (I will say that the sashimi seemed very good quality aside from the clam, whose rubbery flaps were basically unchewable) Also, they put that abominable Snow Crab Salad in the rolls which is, to me, a low quality disgusting filler that I find insulting. I hate having to comb through the roll list hardly finding any without it. But if you are into that so it be.

Highly recommend this spot if you're craving a good sushi meal at decent prices!

OMG! What a wonderful, unfound tasty place!…read more We visited on 2 consecutive Tuesdays for a early dinner and were seated immediately. Very quiet but with several delivery services picking up to go orders. Server - V - is a delight and was very helpful with the menu, answering questions and making suggestions. First visit included Beef Negamaki - huge serving with lots of green onions and sauce. Yum! Crabstick Tempura, which tasted like I had been searching for since 2015, except it had just a touch more breading which means I won't be ordering it every time. We had the Angry Bird Roll and the FEMA Roll, both with soy paper. We scoffed up those rolls like nobody's business! SUPER fresh tasting. Best we've had since we moved to Louisiana. Quick refills on our drinks and quick check out. Second visit included again the Crabstick Tempura and the Angry Bird Roll, but this time we added the Burning Woman Roll with soy paper and a small chicken fried rice to go. (It was to go because we knew the rolls were huge and we would be totally full.) We did taste the rice before we left, though, and it rocks! And yes, the sushi was amazing and we were full. They have applied for a liquor license, which excites my husband's saki loving husband. If you're nearby, don't be put off by the location. Its unassuming location hides something your tastebuds deserve!

During our last night in Louisiana during the Christmas break, Sophia and I headed here for dinner…read more Cafe Zen has been a favorite of ours for years when we lived in the Westbank. Sushi, noodle salad and more...great comfort food. We found out they relocated to the old Gretna neighborhood near the Courthouse recently so why not see how things are now in their new digs? Walking in, we noticed a big difference. In the previous spot, they were in a strip mall where they were small and intimate. In their new location, they have more space and a separate area with a bar. I think this was previously occupied, but on the eyes it can be a bit confusing. Within minutes, we were ready for ordering. For apps, we both ordered noodle salad, one of our favorite dishes. Sophia said the aftertaste was like mayonaise and I noticed the difference too. Maybe the mix was a little strong, but it was good. For the main course, I ordered baked salmon rolls which consisted of baked salmon fillet wrapped around snow crab filling and we shared fried fish cakes with wasabi sauce for dipping. Everything was delicious and just like previous times after moving away, made us feel like we were back home. However, the reason why the rating was 4 stars was due to the lack of intimacy the new location offered. It looks gorgeous, but again, the presence of intimacy seemed a distant memory. We sat next to a group who was a little loud and inebriated, even though they weren't harming us. A situation like that at the previous location would never happen. Sophia mentioned the same thing too as we left. Would we come back? Yes, but maybe during lunch where it's less people. We'll give them some time in this location.

It's a small space, so I highly recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait. To start, we ordered the Paloma and lychee cocktails--both refreshing and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Monkey Snack and Stoplight rolls. If you're into bold, complex flavor profiles, the Monkey Snack is a must. Sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor--it hits every note. The Stoplight roll brings just the right amount of heat thanks to the jalapeños, and the fish is incredibly fresh. But the real star for me? The curried dumpling broth. I seriously dream about it when I'm not in NOLA. It's so rich and flavorful that I almost finish the broth before touching the dumplings. Absolute comfort in a bowl. The tuna rangoons weren't my favorite, but still a solid dish. Overall, a staple spot for me anytime I'm in town. Consistently delicious with creative dishes that leave a lasting impression.

Do get the trio of ice cream if you've got room- the ube cheesecake was my fave flavor. The sake pairing with feed me was also nice touch. Overall great value for quality and portions. Looking forward to our next visit.
