The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today!

We decided to try Asi-Fusion Asian Kitchen & Sushi Bar in Kenner after noticing its extremely high…read moreGoogle rating (4.9 stars with mostly 5-star reviews). We actually chose it over another, more upscale-looking restaurant nearby because of those ratings. We always like supporting highly rated local spots, so we went in hoping for a great experience. The restaurant is small and fairly simple inside. We were greeted by a friendly staff member who also served as our waiter, and service throughout the meal was polite. The restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. My husband and I eat sushi often--both locally and when we travel--so we tend to order a few "baseline" items that make it easier to gauge quality. We started with gyoza and steamed shumai. The shumai had a strong shrimp flavor but was somewhat soggy in texture. The gyoza was pan-seared but fairly average. Both appetizers gave us the impression they might be pre-made rather than freshly prepared. Next we ordered the snow crab naruto, along with a rainbow naruto that looked great on the restaurant's display screen. Unfortunately, both rolls were assembled so loosely that they fell apart almost immediately when we tried to pick them up. It seemed the cucumber wrapping was sliced too thin to hold the ingredients together. The rainbow naruto especially fell apart as soon as it was touched, and it also had no sauce or finishing element, which made it feel incomplete. For our main rolls we ordered the Rock and Roll and the Po Boy roll. The Rock and Roll was average, and my husband described the Po Boy roll as just okay. We finished the meal with fried banana for dessert, which ended up being the best item we ordered. After dinner we drove back to Baton Rouge (we had been in the area to drop someone off at the airport). On the drive home both of us experienced stomach discomfort, and by the time we got home we both had upset stomachs. I'm still not feeling great the next day, which is unusual for me since I rarely experience stomach issues after eating out. I wouldn't say it was food poisoning, but the after-effects were noticeable. Given the very high ratings online, perhaps we just visited on an off night. However, based on our experience, I can only give it two stars and it's not somewhere we would likely return.

The food was great! We got a couple special rolls and a couple normal rolls. The prices are standard for sushi which is great. Next time we go here we really want to try the bento box dinner.

Don't let the somewhat mundane strip mall location fool you, as there are some very good things going on here! We shared the fried calamari and crispy pork dumpling appetizers, while she followed with hot and sour soup and I, with the tasty Japanese pepper beef. All were very good, but the star may have been the dumplings, which were some of the best I've ever had. Service was friendly and efficient and prices were extremely competitive. If you like contemporary Asian fusion, you should really try Non La in Covington.

My sister ordered the fried rice (also phenomenal) without peas, which we thought may not be possible due to being premade but our server (who was great) quickly assured us that'd be no issue. The restaurant seemed to be a family affair. Happy to have it in Metairie & will definitely be revisiting!

I've drank a lot of Vietnamese coffee (cafe su da) and the one I got from here has the perfect combination of amount of drink, ice, coffee, and sweetness. I could tell by the color of the drink that it would be good. A taste verifies that it wasn't too sweet (too much condensed milk), too watered down, or have too much ice (not enough coffee). If I could take a gallon of this home with me, I'd be so happy! The shrimp spring rolls were presented well, and had fresh ingredients. Pho was tasty, served with a nice portion of veggies ( ean sprouts, jalapeno peppers, lime wedges, and basil. The grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli was another dish that looked and tasted so good. I had only a bite of this so I plan to return to get the Fusion Vermicelli (grilled shrimp, grilled pork, and fried egg rolls).

What a spectacular, memorable evening…read more Recommended by local friends, this spot offers a Pan-Asian menu with a subtle New Orleans twist. It's a tasting menu only--very well priced at $95. The meal is structured in four "tranches," each with three choices. Our party of four managed to sample almost the entire menu. We started with cocktails and a dark chocolate Japanese ale, which set the tone nicely. Standout dishes included the tuna solera, scallion lamb, salt-baked shrimp, satay chicken, and key lime pie. Honestly, there wasn't a weak dish in the lineup. We all opted for the wine pairing ($75), which was thoughtfully selected and generously poured. Service was excellent throughout. All in, with tip, dinner for four came to about $1,200--and it felt well worth it. Highly recommended.

I have a love/hate that they change their menu because I thought I did my due diligence and studied the menu and precious Yelp reviews to prepare what to order. But then the menu changed but it was fine bc Nico helped steer us to all the good stuff! We ordered a bunch of dishes and ate family style so we could try everything! The stand outs to me were the Pani Puri with the fiery mint water that you pour and lets you control the heat (you eat it in one bite), the Pork Dan Dan Buco Di Creste noodles (we asked not too spicy, we're getting older! Haha ), the Gulf Shrimp Pakora, and the ice cream pie from Lucy Boone! Mister Mao is where the old Dick and Jenny's restaurant used to be across from Rouse's on Tchoupitoulas.

I ordered the shrimp pho and was pleasantly surprised. The broth was light but still packed with flavor. It didn't feel heavy, but it still hit the spot. They were generous with the shrimp. They were a good size and there were plenty of them. I left full and satisfied. The space itself is cute and tucked into a tiny strip mall, nothing over the top but still a nice vibe for a casual meal. Service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was that they were out of quite a few items. The staff mentioned it was because we came on the later side of the early evening (around 4 pm), which felt a little early to be running low, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, a solid find and I'll return the next time I'm in town.
