But we checked before leaving that cool but whack place and came here! Friendly greeting and we sat at the communal table. They were out of some things and we just ordered the Original Tori. I also had some hot green tea. It wasn't long before the hot bowls of warmth and comfort came out. Really good broth! That is the key. If the broth is bad, everything else doesn't work. Nicely prepared pork belly and firm noodles. This washed away all the earlier negativity. The young woman who served us was great! Friendly and upbeat! If I had one complaint, it was the hard boiled egg. Should be soft boiled. Other than that, this place is solid! Definitely worth checking out!

We realized that there was only one person working in the whole restaurant. We knew they did not serve liquor so we asked for iced tea,,,,NONE. We ordered water. We reviewed the laminated, colorful menu (which made the place feel like a chain restaurant.) We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak dumplings and the Crawfish dumplings. Both had obviously been frozen and then either microwaved or steamed. I took one bite of the cheesesteak dumpling and they had heated it up TOO much so it burned my lip and tongue. I waited about 5-7 minutes and took another bite. They were rubbery and, as hard as it is to believe, they both tasted the same. The steamed dumplings were better, but not by much. We will not be going back. There are other dumpling places to try.

The problem is I don't remember the names of the ones I really liked so that gives me an excuse to go back and try a bunch more lol

Hong Kong Market -- 5…read more Located inside my favorite place on earth... and no, Disney World cannot compete. This is THE best international market in the Greater New Orleans area. Tucked inside is their bánh mì spot--the Vietnamese po-boy--and baby... it's a staple. Open daily, and you'll usually catch the same sweet older woman back there faithfully whipping out sandwiches like clockwork. It's something about that consistency and care that just hits different. They're under new management now and the space got a little upgrade, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same menu-wise, but my go-to has always been the one with meatballs--and I ALWAYS add extra pâté. That pâté? Don't skip it. The bread is exactly what it needs to be. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not too hard, not too soft. Perfect balance. Prices went up just a little, but honestly? For about $7, you're getting a full, loaded sandwich that eats like a meal and then some. Still one of my favorite quick eats. Every time I'm in there, I'm grabbing one.

This is a vegan paradise, as they have my beloved tofu skin (yuba), soy curls, all the tofu varieties you could ever want and a variety of fake meats, wheat gluten goodies and even vegan jerky. Prices are impressively low. It's been over 10 years since my last review and the market has grown so much. We spent an hour in here today and noticed they have a good sake collection, as well as Asian beers. Boba/tapioca pearls, teas, coffees, spices, desserts... an entire aisle devoted to soup bases, noodles, dried mushrooms! Pinch me, because I think I'm dreaming. I'm in hot chile heaven. There was one thing that my husband wanted that we couldn't find. One of the sweetest ladies at the cash register tried her best to help, even with a slight language barrier we were able to show her the product (dried bonito flakes). She showed him dried squid but that wasn't quite the same thing. I think they have less Japanese products, not really a big deal at all. We so appreciated her kind efforts. Bonus: the cute statue collection by the entrance! Buddhas, lucky cats... even Hello Kitty herself is represented. Consider this market for unique gifts. They even sell Cafe du Monde coffee!

I'll start with the good...The restaurant is beautiful inside and out! Gigi was our bartender and she was great!! She was the only bartender working the whole bar and it was pretty busy. But she stayed poised and the drinks were awesome. Definitely recommend the Temple Rum & the Creme Ube. We tried the gumbo dumplings and the Etouffe dumplings. Both 8.5/10. Shrimp bacos. I'm a texture person, so not usually a fan of bao buns, but these weren't bad at all. 7/10 Cons: we did not know the chicken AND ribs came with peanuts on them. We had a peanut allergy at the table and we had no idea. There mention of peanuts in the description or anywhere else on the menu. No disclaimer!!! When the chicken came out, we informed the manager, Jerry. He was kind and apologetic and offered to bring us new wings without nuts, but we said it was ok because only one of us wanted the wings anyway. About 10 minutes later, when the ribs were ordered came out, they ALSO had nuts on them. This was quite disappointing. Jerry did end up bringing us fresh ribs and rice without nuts on the plate, but by that time we were full and took them to go. This could be a HUGE problem down the road and I'm just glad my guest didn't consume any of it. I HIGHLY recommend putting a disclaimer on the menu. I dont think it should fall on a waiter or bartender to disclose that kind of information. It should be in writing, so guests can be informed before they make a menu selection. My experience was kind of skewed, but I do recommend trying the food and especially the drinks for yourself! Thanks again Gigi and Jerry.

We tipped him and told him how impressive the arrangement was because it truly deserved the praise. It looked great and tasted even better. Our waiter was also great.

The fish tasted clean and flavorful, and the variety made it great for sharing or sampling different rolls in one order. Everything was prepared neatly and looked just as good as it tasted. Definitely one of the better sushi options in the area. Service: Service was polite and efficient. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the order came out in a reasonable time. They were helpful and made sure everything was correct, which added to the overall positive experience. Ambiance: The restaurant has a calm, relaxed atmosphere. It's clean, comfortable, and a good spot for a casual dinner or a laid-back night out. Not overly fancy, but nice enough to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Overall: Nobuku is a solid choice for sushi in Harvey. Good food, friendly service, and a pleasant environment. The sushi boat was worth it, and I would definitely return for another visit.
