Order take out last night from this place. First order was the fried po-boy roll. Since I was looking though the photos being posted I saw one user having the same roll and asked the girl on the phone can it be done; she said yes after talking to the person making the sushi I'm guessing. I also had to replaced the smelt roe since I can't eat it with cream cheese ($1 extra). I enjoyed that roll very much. It came to around $16, but the size of the roll was well worth the money. I also order the cowboy roll since it seem to be very popular and while it was good; I wouldn't order it again. The employee on the phone was very nice and helpful with my order. She was friendly and wasn't pushy or sound annoyed when I had my request. All in all it was a nice experience in take-out sushi. Will be my go-to sushi take out from now on. read more

The menu is to die for at this amazing hidden gem. The sushi and all their dishes are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We were a party of 5 and our food came out promptly, with an amazing presentation and just spot on. It's a shame that I can not go every single day, I could get something different as well. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and the establishment is SPOTLESS CLEAN. The restrooms are as clean as the dining room. Nothing but praise for this amazing restaurant! read more

Omg if I could, I would give this place a 0 stars. The workers are cool, the person who runs this place is lame. We reserved a room and keep in mind, we reminded them a lot. As a person who used to be a host at a restaurant, we wrote things down to never forget. I am throwing a big event with 30+ people. I'm trying to make sure everything runs smoothing. My boyfriend calls them multiple times to make sure how much we need to spent time get the room and their answer changed so many time. Let's skip to the interesting part. It was the day of the party and we arrived earlier than our booked time because we needed to set up everything. I already had a tingling feeling that it was going to be a disaster, so I told my boyfriend to go in ask if we were able to go in and set up. He comes back into the car and gives me a look knowing I was going to blow up. The owner tells him that they forgot that we were coming, and she needs some time to set up the room. Never again. This place went up in price, smaller portions, and bad management. I never will support Diawa ever again. Periodtt. read more

Such bad customer service!!. I Tried ordering out to go a day in advance for my husband's birthday and the lady name Misty took down my order. The next day, I called in again right when they opened up to notify of my order again to make sure they have it by 1 pm. At 1 pm, I went to pick up my order, and guess what? nothing was even made. I was sooo pissed off. What pissed me off more was the lady at the counter lied to me saying she's been trying to call my cellphone a couple times. WHAT A LIAR!! I showed her my phone with no missed calls. I will never again come here. They really lost my business. I gladly spent my $160 at another sushi restaurant. read more

Daiwa is the go to sushi joint on the westbank! The location is a little hard to find if you've never been before. It's located in a little shopping center next to French Rivera gym and cox cable on Lapalco. I've honestly NEVER had a bad experience here before. I come here regularly and everything is excellent from the service to the food. Everything is always fresh! I order to go often and Lanh always has my order right and I can see Daiwa has pretty fast service for a restaurant that gets a full house pretty much every weekend and even during lunch on weekdays. They also added karaoke rooms not too long ago and they are awesome! Tons of fun and there's different sizes and there's even a hello kitty themed room. They all hold different amounts of people and the prices vary according to how many people are attending. Some of my favorite things from daiwa listed below: *Kimchee Seafood Yaki Udon- When I first tried, it was a little salty and over sauced for my taste, but I asked for it less salty and light sauce and it was PERFECT! It was the perfect balance of spicy and salty. It has pan fried seafood (scallops, shrimp, salmon?, crabmeat) and thick udon noodles with the kimchee sauce. *Smelt Roe Crab Meat Salad- It's very light and refreshing. It has shredded cucumber mixed in a creamy sauce with crab meat and a very generous amount of smelt roe. *Lapalco Roll- I consider this a special roll, but it's priced like one of the regular rolls. It's wrapped on the outside with soy paper versus rice. It has spicy tuna, snow crab, smelt roe and tempura flakes. Topped with spicy mayo. YUM! *Daiwa Special Roll- Has a lot of raw fish, so if you're not good with raw fish, this may not be the best roll for you. Overall, the prices are pretty reasonable and the rolls are HUGE compared to other sushi restaurants. Even the basic rolls like crunchy and crawfish roll are rolled big. The food is always fresh to me and I will always be a returning customer. read more

Excellent food and service!!! Restaurant is clean and the prices are good! A great variety of food to choose from.

The food is good the ambience is calm the service was okay They have a lot of good options

This place is overrated. I dont care that your decor is trendy and your menu is big. If your server gives me a puzzled look like a dog I said "lets go for a walk" to when I ask about the hamachi and I need to actually explain to her what hamachi is I lose some serious confidence in this restaurant. Quite frankly if I had been the one that drove I would have gotten up and left as this all too well reminds me of the sushi joints in California that are run by Koreans and not Japanese and you end up with "fusioned" sushi that is second rate. So since I didnt drive and pick this place and my friends (originally from California) did and swore to me when they saw my face after the confused server left our table that the sushi was good, I made the best of it. And to be honest it wasnt bad. But it wasnt great either. Just so-so. The service was ridiculous by California standards, but hey this is Louisiana, so to them this is normal to take 15 minutes to get a cup of miso soup. LOL So instead of the 2 stars I would give this place if it was in California... they get 3 because they are in Louisiana. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here when she was in town and craving sushi. We've been here a couple times for karaoke so we decided to go just for the food. We got the squid steak, kimchi seafood udon, Daiwa sushi bridge, and hamachi kama. Overall, the food was great. Fish was fresh. Now onto the service, it sucked. Only time they spoke to us was to take our order and to give us the food. Never checked up on us. Refilled our water once. We sat for awhile as we waited for the check. We got another kimchi udon to go and it took an additional 30 minutes. It wasn't that busy either. With 5 different waiters/waitresses walking around, I expected better service. Very lacking in my opinion. read more

Ordered the Chicken Hibachi Dish for my entree and a Diet Coke as a drink along with 3 rolls of Sushi on February 5th 2023.

Food: 10/10 (kimchi udon) Service: 10/10 Environment: 10/10 (nice menu, nice decor) Experience: 10/10 (karaoke rooms) Price: 8/10 I've been here several times throughout the years since they first opened. But they have really stepped their game up lately. If you haven't been here recently you must give it a try. Probably the best place on the Westbank for Japanese. I'm impressed with the quality of ingredients they use for their sushi. The Kim Chi Udon is a must have. I really liked the sushi pizza, even though it's a simple dish I liked the texture of the crust with the flavor of the sushi. Service is great. The karaoke rooms are a good place to celebrate an event or throw a party. I'm very impressed by the design of the menus. read more

Just realized I never reviewed Daiwa (seems I did on Urbanspoon some years ago) Hands down, no question, no contest, not even close, my favorite sushi place, period. Far and away the one thing I miss (well, aside family of course) since I moved from Marrero, the place I was born and raised. Now living in the Shreveport/Bossier area and travelling all over the state trying new sushi places none come close. Enough cannot be said about the staff. I haven't been in for probably 6 or so months and was in town for work and walked in to be greeted instantly "Hey Mr. Michael". So polite, friendly and honest, very proud of the location. Food, well, I think I have had the entire sushi/sashimi menu... a few times. The quality is like no other, fish is fresh, flavors unique and present in every bite, rice the best. Presentation has taken a very slight dip from years past but still leaps and bounds above others and possibly just due to newer chefs. I literally crave this place and ate it two days in a row on my recent visit. Prices are fair, very fair and considering your getting a top notch product worth every penny. Menu is inviting and they don't do like many places where they charge flat rates just about for regular/special rolls, each roll is priced accordingly. Personal favorites include the Lapalco roll, Special Crunchy roll (best bang for your buck) and the Sunrise roll (the oyster's and roe in unison are divine) however every single roll is worthy of merit. My only complaint is that I wish they had a location near me and begs the question if they were not in such an odd location in Marrero what they could stand to do. Mindful, this is a place that opened at 11:30 and had half the dining room full and 6 or so to-go orders at 11:31. If your even within 30 miles of this place, do yourself a favor and go enjoy. It beats anything else you will find on the Eastbank/Westbank and trust me from my experience, anywhere else in the state. Daiwa is an absolute treat and deserving of every bit of praise and accolade they receive. read more

I'm so obsessed with the spicy tuna and the spicy kimchi seafood udon !!!! This place has the freshest fish in the city and the best spicy tuna I have ever tasted in my life..really creative rolls and super laid back welcoming atmosphere ! I am determined to try everything on the menu ! My favorite sushi place in the city hands down :D read more

It was okay... same as every other sushi place I find. It was pretty busy when we went. And it seemed like the air conditioner was broke which made it seem like 120 degrees inside.... the poor guy who sat us was sweating. And we had a different girl come up to us for drink, our order, who refilled our drink, brought our food and gave us our check.... it was a little confusing sometimes. read more

Daiwa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Daiwa is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant. They just like many other restaurants went through many challenges during COVID. Then to my dismay they sold the restaurant. However, all my apprehensions were quickly laid to rest when we noticed that for the most part the menu did not change. When we're still able to get our same favorites at the same high quality. A few items have been added that are just as delicious. This continues to be my go to sushi restaurant. Love love love Daiwa!!! read more

I have been in and out of this place for YEARS and they never disappoint. The quality of food and service has been A+ which gets me coming back every time. I can say this restaurant is one of the best places to get sushi on the west bank. A perk about this place is they also provided private karaoke rooms for parties or get togethers if you're looking for a good time. They are usually accommodating and stay open late for you to enjoy yourselves. The karaoke system has a wide variety of music to choose from and is always updated with the newest content out on the radio. Other than the karaoke rooms, the food always comes out in large portions which makes sure you walk out feeling full with a togo box. They maintain a clean environment with very good service throughout your dining experience. I definitely recommend Daiwa to anybody craving for sushi that is on the Westbank! read more

Daiwa is my favorite sushi joint in the Westbank. My favorites are: Ceviche Salad, Peppered Tuna with fresh wasabi, tuna sashimi, Kimchee Udon, and the Australian Lobster Roll I believe it's called. Price reasonable, casual dining, and the staffs are very friendly. read more

One of the few sushi restaurants on the westbank. I used to come here all the time with my friends or sister. The food is decent. I typically only come here for the kimchee seafood yaki udon because it's pretty much one of the best things on the menu. The rolls are ok, nothing really special about them. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes it's not. One time a server charged our card the wrong bill because she said she got us mixed up with another table. It was alright I guess. Im glad they opened up the new location in Metairie. Their new location is more chic and i think they offer a full bar service. The service and the overall atmosphere at their new location is much better than this location. I only came to the marrero location because it's pretty much the closest and decent sushi place to me but now I go to the metairie location sometimes. I do like their new togo design read more

My family make reservations every Friday and as always everything is great. The wait staff knows us and make sure our experience is great every time. The food is great and so is the ambiance. I highly recommend! read more

This location has always been my favorite go to place since it's closest and never disappointed me like it did today! I called in for a take out order around 6:10 and was told that it'd be ready in 50mins to an hour. My mom works right next door and came to pick it up around 7. She was told to pay ahead and go wait in her car as the sushi were being made at the moment. She waited in the car for over 20 mins and when I called to check on the order I was told they're "short staffed so that's why it is taking longer but the chef is working on the sushi RIGHT NOW" lady on the phone was kind of rude when I asked how much longer my mom have to wait. I mean, why lied? At least sound sincere when you apologize...don't see myself coming back here anymore whenever I'm in town. read more

Probably the highest quality sushi you'll find in New Orleans. Yes, it is a bit more pricy than most but "you get what you pay for". Service is top notch and friendly, variety beyond expectations, and a very fun place to hang out. They do provide karaoke rooms for those that are feeling daring. Overall, I've been here multiple times and have not been disappointed. A must try at least once! read more

The quality of this place is NOT how it use to be and is only getting exceptionally worse. Portion sizes are extremely small and sushi rolls have drastically reduced in size meanwhile prices are still the same if not increasing. Very disappointed! read more

Daiwa is a really good find on the Westbank and I took it in for lunch and they laid out some great rolls. Nice enough atmosphere and delicious rolls combine with attentive service to make for a nice outing. The bar looks adequate and the place was packed for lunch so others clearly know Daiwa is the place for good sushi. It's my first sushi experience in NOLA so I don't have much locally to compare to but I consider Daiwa to be decent sushi and would not have to work too hard to become an excellent first rate sushi restaurant. read more

Daiwa - 4 Nice Rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Hands down my favorite sushi place in New Orleans! Almost everything I've tried on the menu is delicious. And speaking of the menu, it's very extensive for a sushi place with a huge variety of both sushi and hot food items aimed to please any palate. My favorites are their Australian lobster tail roll, Cowboy roll, Poboy roll, No Name roll, salmon and yogurt roll... Actually I have so many favorites that I can't even name them all. On the hot food, I also really like their hibachi fried rice and appetizers like the scallops, beef negi maki, beef tataki and kimchi seafood udon. Their portions are on the large side. It's very cute inside and the service is always on point. I eat here at least twice a month and I'm always happy and full when I leave. In fact, my boyfriend refuses to go to any other sushi place in the city because he knows it won't be Daiwa and he would be disappointed lol. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. read more

I love their noodles I really like this place a little pricey but at the end might be worth it.

This place is so fun!! Came here with a group of friends and we all enjoyed the food, drinks, and drunk singing! I made a reservation for 7pm on a Thursday. They charge a $50 deposit on your credit card to hold the reservation just to make sure you show up but they give it back to you through credit towards your bill. We were the only ones doing karaoke that night but I'd recommend making a reservation on the weekends. All the rooms are super cute and clean. We had the smallest room because there were only 7 of us but they have different sized rooms to accommodate your party. Service was quick and super attentive. Food was pretty good. My fave was the kimchi udon! It's a must try. The rolls didn't wow me but they were good. read more

My bf and I came here after church to grab a bite to eat since we were in the mood for sushi. The wait for a table wasn't long and we were seated. The first server who came by our table got our drink orders and didn't mind at all when I asked for extra whipped cream for my milk tea. I loved that she was so nice about it. A second server came by to take our order so that kind of confused me as to who our main server was. We ordered the noodle salad, Kim chi udon, tofu aged ashi, the cowboy roll, and a fish salad that I can't quite remember the name of. Everything was good and came out in a timely manner. The only thing I was unimpressed with was the service from the second server. She didn't place, but dropped our food on the table and barely smiled at us until the end when she brought our bill out. I've worked as a server before so I'm ALWAYS giving someone the benefit of the doubt but she could definitely try being more friendly when speaking to customers. read more

I thought Daiwa was going to be just another sushi & sashimi restaurant. This place blew me away. The best Asian restaurant in the entire area. The freshest sushi around. I have eaten at them all. Nice Job!! Keep up the great work. read more

Hands down, the best sushi and best menu on the westbank. Huge food selection and it's always delicious.

Food was pretty darn good here top of the line sushi for sure.. My only knock on this place is it took a while for the waitress to get with me and my date!! People who where brought in behind us were waited before us!! So we were both kind of awkwardly sitting there!! However It could have just been a simple case of miscommunication!! I would recommend this place to anyone though!! Great place!! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. This is probably by far my second favorite sushi place in the New Orleans area. You must try the kimchi udon.

After visiting for several years since opening, with fantastic food and service i was asked to remove my post workout nutrition drink from my table.. never had this problem, its a nutritional thing not an alcoholic drink.

Service is driving me out sadly. read more

We decided to try something close to our hotel and our love for sushi brought us in. This restaurant is extremely clean and well lit. There is an so many choice it literally took us like 20 minutes just to decide. The YAKI UDON was absolutely delicious and not greasy. I accompanied it with the GYOZA. My first time trying them and I'm addicted. Wish we had a place like this back home because for delicious food it was DIRT CHEAP. I'd highly recommend for a casual night or any night tbh! read more

Always a pleasant experience with speedy service. I'm impressed with the size of their vegetable rolls. A lot of restaurants have tiny portions for the vegetarian options. These are the hardiest I can recall getting from a Japanese restaurant. My 10 year old son loves their squid. He's had the calamari and the squid steak an store them both to pieces (barf). My only negative feedback is that is FREEZING in there. If you're hot natured or going through menopause, you'll be great. Regular people make sure you bring a jacket. I had to tuck our cloth napkins into my son's shirt to attempt to wrap his shoulders last go round! read more
