We are staying in Abita Springs for our anniversary and asked the bartender at Rosie's where she recommended if we wanted sushi for dinner. She sent us here and it did not disappoint! We told them it was our anniversary and they put all our rolls on a big tray and decorated it so beautifully! Our favorite roll was the The Truth, it had snow crab, avocado, tuna, pickled fresh wasabi on top, and served with a ponzu sauce to dip! My husband and I both think that was the best sushi roll we've EVER eaten! Service was amazing and everyone working was so kind and attentive and they even sent us a free seaweed salad read more

We ate at Megumi 21 in Covington and everything was really good. I had the cowboy ramen and it was super good, rich and flavorful. My husband had the yaki soba, and we shared the gyoza and crab eggroll, which were both delicious. The service was good and the ambiance was really nice and relaxed. Overall a great spot, and we will definitely be back. read more

Nestled in the heart of Covington, Megumi is more than just a sushi restaurant--it's an experience defined by care, quality, and consistency. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the kindest hospitality, where the staff makes you feel like family. Mai, in particular, always goes above and beyond, radiating warmth and genuine kindness that enhances every visit. The star of the menu for me is the Yuzu Salmon--a dish that perfectly balances creamy avocado, bright citrusy yuzu, and rich, velvety olive oil over pristine, fresh salmon. It's vibrant, refreshing, and utterly addictive. Every roll is a testament to precision and pride. From the way they're expertly rolled to the delicate balance of flavors, you can truly taste the intention and love in every bite. The fish is always fresh, the presentation elegant, and the experience consistently exceptional. Megumi is a rare find--a place where technique meets heart, and where the passion of the chefs and staff is evident in every plate. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just looking for an unforgettable meal, this is one restaurant that never disappoints. As a long time Chef myself I can truly say this place is exceptional! read more

I come here any time I am celebrating a closing as a Realtor! Sitting outside is my favorite and although it's right next to passing traffic, somehow it's still very pleasant the food is always top notch and the waitstaff is always very attentive and friendly. They always play nice music on the patio too. My favorite roll is the Angry Salmon roll. It comes with this garlic chili sauce that is to die for! You can always order it on the side too to put on any other roll (great on a Philadelphia roll too). read more

Always so good. Service is great. Food is amazing. The place is never too crowded. Perfect for date night! Love it

For a relatively new restaurant, the women's bathroom had an unpleasant smell. The walls in our booth had splashes of something white all around the window. I ordered an Erica bowl which is what I usually order at all sushi restaurants. It was mostly rice, some snow crab and a few slithers of tuna. The eel sauce was barely drizzled on the bowl which without the sauce, everything was bland. There also was no avacado. My husband got the chicken teriyaki dinner with the California roll and vegetables. The California roll was mostly rice. The chicken chicken teriyaki was dry and the teriyaki sauce that was in the vegetable was very water down. We have always enjoyed the Megumi in Mandevile, but we will not be returning to this location. There are too many other choices of sushi restaurants. read more

Everything was ok( except they use frozen veggies) until the lady next to us recieved her plate and a ROACH came from the plate. That's bad enough itself... but the waitress made the people PAY for the food!!! She went to speak to the kid manager there and he's response was "they can change tables" WHAT!? SOOOOOOO gross. Will never eat at this place again. Calling the board of health on Monday, maybe they will care then. read more

I've been here multiple times since it's opened and I've finally decided to review it. I had all but given up hope for reasonably priced sushi on the Northshore, since the quality has seemed to gone downhill at every place. However, this new Megumi location has truly stepped up their game. Their food quality is awesome, the plating is beautiful, and the service is wonderful. I lived in Japan for a few years, so I may be a bit hard to impress when it comes to sushi. But the quality of rice and fish here is so delicious and fresh that I find myself itching to come back here again and again. Right now, they are open for lunch and then close for a short time before dinner. They aren't packing it to capacity at the moment because of restrictions in place for the pandemic and the dining area is rather small. They do allow you the option to eat outside but I personally find it way too hot to eat outside, it doesn't take too long to wait for a table. I appreciate the hot towels that come in individually wrapped packets and the complementary clear soup to whet your appetite. The portions are very large, so you really only need one to fill you up. I like to get multiple rolls though because I love leftovers and there are a plethora of roll options to choose from; it's virtually impossible to get through all of the menu. There are also lunch specials, appetizers, and delicious ramen offerings so there is something for everyone. I highly recommend y'all give this place a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Finally, some good Ramen!!!! I have not had good ramen since visiting California . It is a taste that the Northshore is missing out on. The sushi is just as great!

I want to like megumi because of fond memories when they 1st opened on hwy 22, but i just cannot. It's basically fast food sushi. Too much rice, bad slices of fish, especially when ordering take out. Most people don't want the blood line in a huge chunk of fish. The one thing that I thought they could not mess up was the ocean salad, but they did. One piece of octopus and fat chunks of poorly cut fish. I will be traveling to the Southshore from now on where we have some excellent sushi restaurants read more

Food is exquisite and service is impeccable. Highly recommend this place. Ambience is flawless.

Megumi 21 is always the best place to eat sushi!! They even have the best kids dinner. My 2 year old grandson loves the boats!

This is my first time at the new location. This is a mixed review because the food was outstanding the service was absolutely awful. We had to ask for plate service we had to ask for fresh drinks when our glasses were empty we had to ask for chopsticks forks and napkins the table was dirty when we first got to it only one set of menus were delivered for four people. We waited 40 minutes for service after being seated. The change for the cash was not broken down when returned to the table. The air conditioning was so loud you could not hear each other without raising you voice. I miss the old location. Not sure if I will come back. read more

Out. Of. This. World. Or just the best in Louisiana. It's edible art! Every menu item I've ordered and seen is not only beautiful to admire but fresh and delectable. Highly recommend. Easy to order to go online as well. I hope my photos help you chose the best roll for you! read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant on the north shore. We go pretty regularly and I am consistently impressed. The sushi is so fresh, I really like the tuna and salmon sashimi. They have a huge selection of sushi rolls and it can be a little difficult to pick one (or two or three). My top rolls I like to get are the crunchy dynamite and Metairie roll. They have different rotating sushi and appetizer specials that are always fun to check out too. The service is also fantastic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We never wait very long for anything we order and it is always top quality food. I will definitely be back here soon. read more

The food was such a disappointment. We have been eating at Megumi for years and it seems like they are going down hill. The rolls we ordered where the size of pancakes and filled with god awful kani and mayonnaise. It's like they were making sushi rolls for some side road Casino's 'all you can eat buffet'. Although the food was a big miss, the waitress and staff were very nice. read more

We come here at least twice a week it's a really amazing place with incredible sushi menu and specials.

Don't let the looks for the restaurant fool you. Everything looks nice but that is where it ended. Server was not very familiar with menu. Had to ask him to verify with the kitchen what was on a menu option. The teriyaki had zero taste. Had to send it back twice. Simply adding more sauce to the dish does not help. Beef needs to be seasoned prior and during cooking, not tossing on sauce afterwards. I have had much better food and service in other restaurants. They kept thinking that if they would keep returning it to the table that it would taste better. Sorry read more

I would recommend you order take out from here. The food was very good. But that's honestly where the praise stops. Had to wait almost 10 minutes to be acknowledged once seated after a server walked past our table 3 times. Finally, we order drinks and food. Our main course comes out prior to appetizer. Cancel the appetizer. Had to go and get my own fork for my daughter to eat her kids meal. Our server had no clue to the issues we had. When she finally comes she asks how was everything? ‍ I recommend the food as we really enjoyed the quality of food but will never dine at this location again. read more

This place is disgusting. How it is even considered in the genre of sushi is beyond me. Quick question ownership...Do you own stock in Japanese rice fields or Mahatma rice!!?? I mean there is a spec of protein surrounded by a GD wagon wheel of rice!! I mean how obvious are you trying to cheat the customer on the protein. So Rediculous. I picked up sushi tonight from Magumi b/c my girls wanted it against my better judgement. My salmon and tuna rolls are temperature hot!! Oh I know why because you idiots put it under a heat lamp. Great job guys defeats kind of the purpose of raw cold fish! Don't get me started on the service. Tip of the day St. Tammany, go to Aki!!!!!! read more

Megumi 21 - Gross huge rice rolls - Japanese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Excellent lettuce rolls! Quick service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried this place last night and food was just ok. I'm used to the quality of food at Mandeville Megumi but this was not even close. Same menu, food didn't seem as fresh(but not terrible), but probably the worst thing was the rolls were horribly rolled. There wasn't anything holding them together when you picked it up to eat. Like the rice was only on one side!?! Every piece fell apart. Seemed like whoever rolled it was very inexperienced and I felt ripped off because I spent so much on dinner and struggled with it so much. I ordered the salmon chimichurri appetizer which I usually love, but again, not great. I also had pork shumai and they were just ok. read more

poor service. even borderline unreasonable. despite not have pictorial displays on the menus or descriptions, staff rudely ignored dissatisfaction from a first time customer.
