    Was excited to try out Kenji Kazoku after many pleasant trips to Kenji Omakase. Did not care for the seating arrangements at all. Everything felt so crammed, we were seated in the middle of everyone and when there was a table to be sat behind us, everyone was basically sitting on top of each other. Experience as a whole was lacking except the quality of the food. At the end, our server gave us the ticket without even asking if we were ready for it and proceeds to wait for us to put the card down. Yikes. I'll just stick to the original location.

    This was the second serving of the 12 piece of omakase experience. It was fresh buttery, silky, and delicious.

    The food was super fresh high quality some of the best sushi you're gonna have. Service was good. Some of the staff is still learning. They've only been open 3 1/2 weeks. Ambience is nice. This location is smaller than the other location in downtown New Orleans, they can sit five for the chef experience versus about 8 to 10. We went for our anniversary and had a great time. We recommend the bottled water. The tapwater tasted like tapwater so that's gonna be your choice. This Location is gonna do very well for this area. Parking was a little bit of a challenge after we got there. A lot of people were waiting for Parking. We got there at 5:30, so after about 6 PM parking could get a little difficult. The menu is probably very similar, but they told us the 2 restaurants share same fish they get from Japan every Wednesday,This allows the restaurants to buy more whole large fish and higher quality. This is probably a good alternative if the other location if you can get a reservation downtown and you live downtown or closer to that area that would probably be the better alternative. But if you're like us trying new place is always good. I recommend Kenji Kazoku. We had the table service omakase..

    So happy that we got to try this place while we were in town! The food was incredible. We sat at the sushi bar with Chef Matt and are so glad we did! He explained each of the dishes too which was really cool. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    This is a well-decorated Asian restaurant with great service, and quick cooking preparations. The…read moreestablishment itself is pretty large, and has separate dining rooms, in the event you reserve for a special/private event. I ordered from the "all you can eat" portion of the menu (which is a pretty large variety to choose from, and is not limited to just sushi). You pay one price for an adult ($33.99 on a Sunday), and can order as many items and servings as you'd like, from the aforementioned menu. In my opinion, this was a great deal, especially for the quality and quickness of the food! Because of the above, I was able to try 5 different types of sushi rolls (you can choose either 4 pieces, or 8 pieces), and I'd recommend 4 pieces so you could try just about any/everything. There are also photos on the menu to help you decide, if you're a visual person. Here's what I had: Edamame (the Cajun + garlic seasoned version, which was $1 more) - it was properly seasoned and super good! The gyozo/dumplings were good too; I'd recommend ordering a side of teriyaki sauce, as it only comes with a peanut-type sauce. The shrimp fried rice was also pretty good, and comes in a smaller portion. As for the sushi rolls, they were all delicious, but I'll rank them in order of my favorite (all of them were speciality rolls) #1 Kiss Me roll - it was so good (the best sushi roll out of all 5 I tried) that I forgot to take a photo! This one comes in pieces of 5, and the pieces are even thicker/bigger than the other rolls. #2 Fleur-di-lis sushi roll - loved the shredded crab meat that was layered across the top. #3 Godzilla sushi roll - loved the shrimp tempura within, and the sauce that was drizzled on top. #4 Lion King sushi roll - this was pretty good as well, and had the perfect amount of sauce layered across the top. #5 Spider sushi roll - another good one, and the avocado definitely stood out the most (if you're a big fan of it).

    Sushi nami restored my hope in sushi in New Orleans. as seated in 10-15 minutes on a Friday night…read moretable of 3. Sushi quality was pretty good! I'm happy they had sashimi options because their nigiri is pretty heavy on the rice, but the salmon cheese was by far our favorite. My favorite sashimi was yellow tail. The scallop was interesting looking but still tasted like scallop. I really liked the fried calamari too. Too bad it was no meat Friday because I wanted to try the karaage. I wouldn't get the salmon skin again, maybe if it were crispier. Fried rice has a little sweetness overall good and standard for fried rice Stir fry udon was pretty typical tasting as well Soft drinks included in AYCE. Pretty decent price for AYCE. Would want to come back for a lunch AYCE: Forgot to try the ice cream!
