    Salmon Skin Salad
    Chad W.

    I wanted this to be better. First off let me say my server was amazing and attentive. So there was no issue there. I had miso soup, salmon skin salad and the ceviche. The just wasn't really that flavorful. I am a salmon skin junkie. Love it! This salmon skin was insanely to cooked to the point it was hard . Mixed with loose greens and just a little bit of soy glaze. The ceviche too just kinda blah. No brightness to it. Zero acidity that you want in ceviche. Sadly just not that great. Simply ok.

    Coughing Crouching Tiger Roll  and I forgot the other one- it was spicy though.

    This restaurant was an eight minute walk from Caesars, Harris Tower and it was delicious!! The fish was very fresh and had good flavor and the spicy tuna roll wasn't that spicy so I didn't need a beer. Lol . My family and I enjoyed this restaurant so much that we actually came back a week later and had dinner here again. I forgot to take a picture of their hibachi plate which was huge for $20!! It was literally enough to share with two people so such a great deal! My family also loved their stirfry rice!! I truly love their crouching tiger Roll and I got that both nights I was there. The service was rather quick, and I really enjoyed the mural and the back wall and their darker atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or just hang out with friends. They also had a number of different types of cocktails and drinks along the bar.

    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
    Kat S.

    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.

    Matt M.

    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

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'm sorry but I'm not sure if I agree with the current ratings of 4.7 this place has (as of Feb 2,…read more2025.) To me, based on our experience tonight, it's none other than a super over-hyped sushi restaurant that only has a high end feel to it. Service: was decent. We arrived at the place 11 minutes before our reservation time of 5pm. Since my daughter works in the restaurant industry, as a politeness, we didn't go inside until 4:59pm even though one of the workers came to the door and unlocked it at 4:51pm. Once inside he knew we were the 5pm reservation. He was polite but somehow his whole demeanor lacked friendliness. Menu: Even though the drink menu was an actual physical one, the food menu is online. How strange. After scanning the QR code, we were hoping to see a good selection of food items. But to our surprise, the food menu is/was very small. Actually this place's main thing is nothing but "omakase" where if you choose to order from the a la cart section, the choices are so limited (we were here in town from Denver, CO. After eating some deep-fried stuff for the last few days, we felt that we were truly healthy food or salad depleted; just to clarify, we didn't show up to to this restaurant just to eat salad because after all, this is a sushi restaurant. We love sushi. And yet we were hoping for some decently sized salad. Unfortunately none is/was found on the menu. I even personally asked the guy to see if the sushi chef could whip up something but he gave me a nonchalant no.) We still believed this place could do some magical things so we ordered a bowl of miso soup, oyster tarter (lobster tarter replacement), tuna, salmon and yellowtail nigiris. Miso soup, for the price of $10, was extremely small. Also the entire soup was lukewarm to a point where the center of the small tofu pieces was still cold. Ugh... All the nirigis tasted fresh but I didn't care for the sweet sauce (mainly used for unagi/eel) on the salmon nigiri. Why?? I've never had a salmon nigiri prepared this way.) The only item that was impressive was the oyster tarter (not on the menu as this was the replacement item for the lobster tarter.) This was excellent where we could have easily ordered another one but at this point, we didn't want to spend anymore $$ as all items on the menu are not cheap here. We are a fan of yuzu. The only dessert item (once again, there is only one dessert on the menu) is yuzu tart or something like that. One of the sushi chefs informed us though that the online menu hadn't been quite updated for this so he said it would be a yuzu sponge cake type thing. We decided to give it a try. This, however, failed to impress us either as it was a very much average sponge cake, nothing more at all. We didn't order any drinks besides the water so the final bill was about $75 with some change. Well, tonight's overall experience of ours didn't justify this amount in any way possible. There was another sushi restaurant that had the similar ratings with similar location (when we searched it yesterday.) Maybe we should have chosen that one instead. Disappointed....

    My spouse and I made a reservation and came in a on Sunday night. The restaurant is setup with a…read morelarge sushi bar. The main chef was not present, but the staff was terrific. We started with cocktails which had fun twists in flavor. We ordered the Omakase and upgrade one fish dish to the Wagu beef ($50). I dug in, forgetting to take a photo. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasty, including some unique ingredients like ginger imported from Japan. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough. If the chef is reading reviews... switch the miso soup with a mini-ramen to give the meal more substance.

I started with the kale salad, which was fresh and delicious, followed by the salmon with shrimp also delicious and beautifully prepared.

New Orleans is known for gumbo and traditional Creole cuisine, and Morrow Steak offers those flavors as well, but don't be afraid to explore the rest of the menu. I'm glad I did!

Upon entering, we weren't dressed and typical steakhouse attire and the server and hostess looked at a few of us that entered 1st and immediately asked did we want to see the menu, before asking any other questions. ***side eye*** Again, we weren't dressed the part, but don't judge a book by it's cover. As most of the group are professionals or business owners themselves. (Group contained 3 nurse practitioners, a funeral home owner, a restaurant owner, an hr generalist, etc etc... we know how to behave) The male manager with dreads took over and lightened the mood engaging and asking where we from and then sested us. They also ignored our attire. Credit given for that. Anywho, we were a party of 15, with no resy and were seated promptly and given 2 servers. The 1st server was the 1 asking about menus out the gate. He was quickly moved down to the friendly end of the table. Lol The other server Ken-STAR OF THE SHOW! 10 STAR SERVICE. He was so polite, engaged, and gracious. We hd him to stay on our end. Lol. He made our visit grand and worth every penny! No complaints for anyone out of 15. Of course we orderded numerous things. But I had the ribeye and lobster tail. The special butter sauce was little extra for my liking and it was even on my steak ICK, but that was my fault. My food was good! Steak temp was perfect. Drinks were ok, a little pricey. We were pleased. I would recommend and potentially return. Check them out!
