    Hello kitty roll. Soggy, one tiny avocado and raw shrimp
    Debbie T.

    Absolutely the worst food we have ever gotten from them. We ordered door dash and that went fine. The food though was ridiculous. We ordered a hello kitty roll, spicy crunchy roll, spider roll, and 3 others. We were notified that they didn't have the spider rolls so that was one down and the crunchy roll had no "spicy" to it. I did add my own siracha, but still.... The biggest issue was the hello kitty roll. It was soggy, 90% mushy crab, one small slice of avocado, and the tempura shrimp was not only tiny, but it was RAW. How do you hand make a sushi roll and not know the shrimp was raw??? We used to get food from them all the time, but to have that many issues lately, its not worth it anymore.

    Puff Daddy Roll
    Alexandria M.

    Love doing takeout here. My favorite roll is the Puff Daddy roll (now called Uda roll I think?) & their fried rice is seriously the best in the city. Anytime I have a crazy for either- this is my go-to. Street parking, smaller establishment perfect for lunch or drinks at the bar. Staff is always kind & service fast!

    Spicy Miso Bbq pork Ramen is yum. Also shared some rolls, all of which were very good.

    Good food, attentive service and good music! Would recommend to anyone looking for a decent sushi spot downtown that isn't too pricey.

    Fried rice
    Sabrina G.

    Our sever Isa was very pleasant and attentive. She also talked with my wife and I somethings we had in common. She was open and also gave us a little history about her culture thank you . So, the food was fresh. But the only thing we didn't like was that on the menu it states crableg meat for one of the sushi rolls we got but it wasn't the real deal. We had to send it back and the manager was nice about it and took it off our bill. This place had plenty of seats and it's nice and clean inside. I wish I would've tried the lychee cocktail. If I'm ever in New Orleans again I will definitely stop by again.

    Spicy miso ramen with pork
    Dickson L.

    Small little sushi bistro tucked in a corner just south of the French Quarter boundary. We came in as a party of 2 on a Wednesday evening without having to wait as a quick break from all the other delicious southern cuisine we'd been having the last several days. We got the fried rice, spicy miso soup with pork, spicy salmon roll, and a bbq eel roll. Disclaimer - we're Asian, we come from a healthy Asian community in the northeast part of the US so our palette might be a little biased. All the food was incredibly bland. The fried rice was well cooked, but needed some more salt. Considering we're in NOLA, perhaps experimenting with some additional Cajun flavors? The miso was either some instant mix or just salts labeled as 'miso' because there didn't seem to be any actual miso in it - miso should settle and if you don't stir, you should be able to actually see the sediment at the bottom of your bowl - the lack of this quality made me question their definition of miso. The taste itself was like an over diluted Shin Ramen flavor (probably was). The noodles were not that fresh, slightly overcooked, and in my recommendation they should switch from flour-based noodles to an egg-based one. The sushi could have been better - the sushi chef simply needs more experience. The taste was ok, the construction was sub-par. The spicy salmon could use a little more kick and the ends of the bbq eel shouldn't be neglected. Service was prompt but there was a bit of miscommunication on our orders our sushi came about 15-20 mins after our entrees which made the timing feel a little awkward. tldr; bland Asian food. Would not recommend

    A small but tidy interior

    A rare treat and find. Service was spot on during my lunch my lunch visit to this quiet little spot. The tuna was well seasoned and fresh. I did the most Mardi Gras tourist thing I could do and ordered the king cake roll- tuna, shrimp tempura, and cream cheese with eel sauce. Lovely experience!

    The light yellow isn't ginger it's underripe mango. Not to mention the mushy avocado.
    TADD C L.

    I walked in and Ordered to go. They seemed pretty nice. I took the sushi to my room next door but it had underripe Mangos on my roll, which is what the girl suggested me to get bc it's so good. So much for the sex and the city roll being the good roll. They gave me no ginger, which is rare, most sushi places give you these things. Not to mention the terrible crab puffs with hard crunchy bell peppers inside with a fishy flavor. I figured the spicy tuna roll would be easy but fishy and pretty lack luster. Then $2 for soy paper for each roll. Nothing like your first bite getting a fish scale stuck in your teeth. This was a terrible mistake. I would suggest going anywhere but here if you even decide to eat sushi in New Orleans, they have much better places around. Next time I won't make the mistake to try this garbage.

    This place is awesome! Probably the best sushi I've ever had. Great portion size for sushi. Super friendly staff and quick service. Very cool vibe and great place to hang out. Definitely recommend

The food was to as be expected there were no stand out surprise menu items. The usual salad; dressing and drinks. On this occasion there were about four different birthdays being celebrated. So that tells you a lot about the popularity of this location for the locals. Service was prompt and pleasant. We were seated and drink orders taken. There were four in our party. The price point was in line with the standard. Maybe a little higher because of substitutions. My only issue with this establishment was the clutter and dated interior. There were items in clear view that were supplies. They could use an upgrade in the dining area and restrooms. Good food; not great. Entertaining and definitely more than enough serving wise. We all had to go containers. Huge portions and fresh food. Would I recommend this experience... perhaps but don't expect too much.

There was a dead bug on the table around the hibachi area where we were sat. 65 cents extra for yum yum sauce! At 40 bucks plus tip and tax a person they should include yum yum sauce with your food. It was my first time at a hibachi restaurant and I don't think I will be back.

Kenji Omakase will be a new annual special occasion go to. Japanese Omakase experience and style, a one of a kind food experience where every course is a harmonious blend of flavors, textures and eye appeal. The sushi chef talks you through each course after he places it on you platter. I asked if these were supposed to be eaten by hand if you wanted to, he agreed most people traditionally eat these that way. The flavors were buttery and tangy, textures delicate and sometimes a small crunch with fried scallions etc. We had tuna, ocean trout that was Similar to salmon but a different shade of orange, scallops and finished with waygu beef. It was amazing with each course the flavors seem to improve. A great experience, if you are any type of sushi fan or even on the fence, this could easily make you a sushi lover. I give this a complete recommendation. Try Kenji you will be very happy you did. The ambiance was fun also traditional Japanese. I may have Mis-named a few photos but know they are all just incredible journeys across your palate, hard to describe, melting with texture and flavors.

I love a good curse fest but this was off putting even for me. Please just do your jobs. It's so simple. Not asking for much. It's pretty much all girls waiting tables --- in very tiny dresses. They would bend over and you see it all. Cool. Until it's near my drink. Ick. Now food. Whatever I ordered was some unidentifiable mush for $25. The items listed for the item on the menu were no where to be found. Tuna was muuuush. Unidentifiable. No avocado. No jalapeño. But they sure did charge me for it all. And I would complain but my waitress was back at the bar screaming with the other servers about going to "MEEEAMMMIIIA" So yeah...I'm good on not going back.

Drinks came on time and food wise some appetizers came on time and some took way longer which is fine as long as food kept On coming thats all matters to me and my guest. Main course was hot and every presentation of the food was impressive and photogenic. I Liked the big rock ice cube with the restaurant logo on it.
