Only thing I'll say is it can get a little busy, but honestly that just tells you it's worth it. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Metairie now. I'll be back for sure.

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.

Posting little late as i finally got time to share my view…read more.. Went for my birthday with a group of 9 and i had a high expectation in terms of food and service and it was excellent. Greeted by hostess and wished me happy birthday while they were making some adjustments to my table, my table was giant, chandelier was nice japanese style, lighting was warm and i liked the big table as i always like to order lots of food with no budget at all, Server greeted us with smile and explained the drinks menu first took our drinks order and then gave us a food menu which also explained in english as some of the words were in japanese. 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. I ordered every dessert they had on menu and all of them were amazing. The only thing is i was expecting atleast 1 dessert complimentary since i spend $3000 and ordered everything on the menu that could have been a nice touch... order includes 2 sushi basket/platter where each sushi is $7-$10 so be careful when you buy sushi platter without looking at the price. We had two vegetarian guest and they were satisfied very well as the restaurant also had lots of options for vegetarians and other dietary needs. Below is the picture of my food hope you guys will like it.

Nagomi is truly a gem in the Bywater --…read moreeasily one of my favorite dining experiences ever and hands down the best sushi I've had in my life. We went with the omakase, a six-course tasting paired with sake, and every single dish was exceptional. Chef Kaz and Elijah are performers at heart. Watching them prepare and present each course felt like theater -- calm precision, artistry, and joy all at once. From the sake-cured Japanese snapper to the yellowfin tuna belly, every bite was perfection. The Hokkaido scallop with seared foie gras was rich and buttery, while the black sesame ice cream stole the finale -- it somehow tasted like a gourmet peanut butter cup. The energy in the room, the flow of sake, and the attention to detail made it a night to remember. Off-street parking on Burgundy made it easy, too. Simply put: this might be the best meal I've ever had in New Orleans. Huge thanks to Chef Kaz and Elijah for an unforgettable evening. Recommended dishes: Sake-Cured Japanese Snapper * Ora King Salmon * Yellow Tuna Tartare * Hokkaido Scallop with Seared Foie Gras * Yellowfin Tuna Belly * Black Sesame Ice Cream

The space is in an unmarked storefront so you have to really pay attention to the address. There is only two seatings so if you try to come early, don't. The door will be locked. After arriving, we were promptly seated and welcomed by the owner and chef. Waiting for us at our table was a bowl of deliciously seasoned edamame. Once the drink orders were placed, the feast begins. One after another, we received delicately prepared dishes of various sushi. I cannot tell you all the names, but I'll list my faves. The toro was buttery and tender with just enough sauce. In fact, the sauce, some type of ponzu, was so good, I drank it. Then Chez Kaz's take on a poke bowl with jellyfish salad and sashimi was refreshing and bright. I believe there was a yuzu sauce that dressed the poke. And the salmon was so fresh, it just melts in your mouth. The whole experience left us satiated and delighted. We cannot wait to come back and do it all again.

I don't know if I've ever spent that much money to leave a restaurant hungry. Seiji was the opposite experience! The 7 course tasting menu had is so full we didn't know if we were going to be able to even look at the dessert course. But then it was so good we ate it anyway. I don't wear anything with a tight waistline to a tasting menu, so I was able to walk out feeling fat and sassy, and fully intact. And this fish was worth the stomach stretching experience we had! The flavors were varied and interesting. The preparation was skilled. The presentation was easy on the eyes. I would definitely do this again! But maybe skip lunch that day, you'll need the room!! My only wish is that the preparation station in front of us at the bar was sunken so we couldn't see the artistry as it was created.
