I so want to love Megumi. Unfortunately, the new Covington location (not yet on yelp) has a horrible to-go system. There is a long wait (ours said 20-30 minutes however it was almost an hour before our food was ready). There is no place to wait, therefore people are crowded on top of each other in the front by the register and the lady is communicating very minimally if at all with customers on where their order stands and if they will even be getting their prepaid food at all. They need to work out the to-go system. This is such a disappointment, I will not be back until this pandemic is over and I feel safe to dine in. read more

As soon as you walk in they let us seat ourselves, and when you sit down you get a warm towel in a package, the waiters ask ur drink and get it right out too you, and keep your glass filled you get clear soup for free and it was okay a little watery to me, but the people I was with loved it! Then we got the pork gyzo and it was sooo good it had hints of orange something I never thought about when eating it and it went soooo good together I was very impressed, My fiancé and his brother split the Tempura snow crab, eel sauce, avocado crawfish & steamed snow crab sushi and they loveeeddd it finished it under 5 minutes, me and his brother got the tonkatsu ramen and we definitely recommend it came with this roasted garlic oil we fell in loveee with !! we asked for chili oil! And it was Perfect! My fiancé got the spicy Cajun ramen and it took longer then everything els I felt bad we ate in front of him. Edit: we asked the waiter where his was and she got it put in and offered him something free but he passed bc he's been nibbling on mine, and she said it'd be ready 5 minutes tops and it was! Very please with the service. he lovessss the spice in it, it had him coughing and that's how he likes it! He said he definitely gives this a 10/10 he'd recommend! Definitely will be back I know it! read more

I've never had an issue with this restaurant till they refuse to remake my order due to a minor inconvenience. Poor customer service. And poor staff. I don't know what was the issue. I payed for my food and didn't get what I want. read more

Best sushi on the north shore! Ordered takeout and the food was delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this place. Try the H2O and Mandeville Roll! read more

Our edemame was late (came after the meal) but my god the sushi was on POINT! Get the lunch box, MORE than enough food for 1 person and the different sides are great. I got a caterpillar roll and it was excellent and SO cute. Definitely the best sushi spot in Mandeville. Hot towels and miso soup to start are also nice and yummy. Ended our meal with the fried tempura ice cream and was not disappointed. read more

The food is great! Always fresh and you can make an order last minute and its ready quickly! The staff is a little stand off ish. You're definitely not greeted right away or with and sort of cheery disposition. Not bad enough to not come back though. read more

Best sushi on this side of Mandeville. Excellent service and the sushi is super fresh!!

Very fresh Very friendly staff, great portions ! Will make this my to go sushi place for now on read more

Top notch sushi. Quality ingredients and the ratio of fish to rice in the rolls was phenomenal. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but the quality was exceptional. I need to go back and try again. Maybe it should be 5 stars! read more

Absolutely fantastic service and food. By far my favorite sushi restaurant in greater New Orleans. Super consistent and mid-range prices for superior quality. The staff does an excellent job. read more

My favorite sushi restaurant in the mandeville area by far. Super fast and attentive service and super big portions! A huge sushi menu, you're bound to find something you'll love. read more

Best I've had in town! Group of us devoured this after drinks at Barley.... I didn't order so have no idea/can't remember what this is, basically sampler platter of all sorts of sushi!! read more

Megumi - Japanese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Kind of hidden gem along highway 22, this place honestly blows me away with its portion sizes for sushi. I've gotten the H2O roll 3 times within the last two weeks just because I love the amount of fish placed inside and for cheaper than you'll find at most other restaurants. Fresh fish and large portions make me wanna come back every single day... read more

Megumi is always great! The freshest most tasty fish done! The specials are always yummy!! Tempura is a family favorite for the non pescatarians! The presentation is oh so lovely! Portions are plentiful, staff is fantastic! Cant wait to enjoy a meal with y'all soon! read more

Ive been to them all, oh so many times. This is by far, my favorite place of all in Mandeville area. I come here every single time I come back home to visit, in fact , its a new tradition with my friends and I. Every roll is huge and stuffed with large, tender pieces of fish. Nothing skimpy here. We got the Big Mac roll ($14) this time around. Only had 4 actual pieces, but each one was as big as a steak and stuffed with everything you can imagine, even had a softshell crab inside. Excellent sushi, rolls and service. Its in a strip mall, but so what. You are not coming to stare at the place from the parking lot. I cant imagine anyone being disappointed here. I may be their # 1 fan. We usually order way more than enough so we will have lots leftover to take home and eat later on in the day. YUM read more

Megumi - Big Mac Roll - Japanese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

I'm not easy to please, but the basics seem to be hard master repetitively for restaurants. Megumi is good. Every time. Food is great, presentation is beautiful, service is great. Pricing is a little high and things can get expensive fast, but it's a great treat once in a while. We always order the LSU roll and the Crying Woman roll and they are always excellent. Rolled tight and the flavor is excellent. I love megumi for a consistently great experience. I haven't found a place I like better and I've been in the area for 5 years. Try it, as long as you don't get sticker shock from the pricing I think you'll be satisfied with your experience. A few final notes - it's a pretty small restaurant and is in a strip mall...don't like the setting but it's worth overlooking. They are accommodating to children but it's not so much a family restaurant. It's also kind of small inside so if you have a large group it may not be what you want. read more

Once ever year or two I visit Megumi just to see if things have changed. Nothing has changed. There are just too many sushi places with much better service to come here often. Service is terrible. Awful. Presentation is beautiful Sushi is decent Kitchen items are hit or miss Our latest venture to Megumi consisted of my daughter and myself. We ordered beverages and the appetizer of snow crab and fried calamari which sounded interesting. The calamari comes out and the pieces are very large. I found a smallish piece and could barely chew it because it was so tough. My daughter tried a piece but couldn't bite through it. Rubbery is a good word. We moved the plate to the outer side of our table. Our waitress walked by several times and ignored the dish. Finally, when she came to take our lunch orders I asked her to take the plate away and told her that the calamari was too rubbery to bite into. She rolled her eyes, said nothing and walked away. We ordered three rolls. Our rolls came out with beautiful presentation but the sushi wasn't put together tight enough and all the pieces kept falling apart. A simple crunch roll was made so large that the diameter of it would barely fit into the palm of my hand and it was at least 2" thick! We are experienced chopstick eaters and there was zero chance of taking a bite without the whole roll falling apart. We couldn't even get the roll from the main plate to our small plate without it breaking up and falling apart. Have you ever tried eating a sushi roll one chopped cucumber at a time? Ordered the rice paper roll as well as the Drew Brees roll. Both were tasty and pretty but again the Drew Brees roll, while not as giant as the crunchy roll, kept falling apart. We were not offered refills and had to flag down a random waiter to request refills. Again, while the food is ok, I can't get past the service or the consistency of the rolls. There are just too many better places with MUCH better service to ever go to this place. read more

Very fresh, well presented good. The lunch specials are very good. The prices are good. Worth every penny.

I have found my absolutely favorite sushi place!! I'm from the area, but currently live in Boston which has tons and tons of sushi places. I've found some great places in Boston, but overall they stick to a more traditional style of sushi: very fresh and very plain. Megumi does the basics, but they are not afraid to step outside the box and add some real flavor to the sushi!! It's fantastic. They have a variety of sauces, use tons of crab, shrimp and even crawfish. Many more options for tempora (my favorite). The prices are about usual for sushi, but instead of getting 6, 1-inch rolls for $10, you get 12, 2-inch rolls!!! I'm used to having to spend a fortune for sushi to barely curve my hunger, but here, you could stuffed on a pretty low budget. The biggest downside to this place is they have an incredible amount of options. My friends normally get mad at me because it takes so long for me to decide. Also, don't be thrown off by the strip mall, basic decor of the place - it does not speak for the food. This place has officially become one of my "must visit" while I'm in town. Sushi with spice and flavor - Louisiana style and that's how I like it!! read more

Megumi's is a number one restaurant. Great food and it's a bit more $ than some others but the portions are good. The rolls are huge and filling. The sashimi is fresh. I have to be hungry and go with a big appetite. read more

Tonight my fiancé and I traveled to Megumi in Mandeville, La. Their specialty rolls are the size of two rolls. They have a large selection and amazing flavor! Highly recommend. We ordered the snow crab and avocado salad to start while we read the 8 page sushi menu. We finally decided on a Blue Water Roll, Awesome Roll, Ponchartrain Roll, and the Small Softshell Crab Sushi. With just the two of us eating we definitely over ordered. The food was still amazing though! We will return! read more

The sushi was DELICIOUS and fresh!!!!! OMG Ive never seen so many sushi selections in my life!!! Great service! I will def be back!!

While its exterior appearance in a shopping center across from Beau Chene on Hwy 22 is certainly unassuming, Megumi surprises you with excellent sushi and other Japanese food. They can be very creative if you ask for something special. Service is excellent and prices are very reasonable. read more

If you dine in with a small party the service is pretty fast; however, if you have a large party the service is slow and chances are you will have to remind them that you are waiting for your drink, appetizer, etc. Overall they have a huge sushi list and the sushi is above par. The presentation of the rolls is a work of art. It seems like you get more sushi when you dine in versus take out. read more

Excellent sushi - very fresh fish, interesting and unique rolls - expert preparations. The toro was some of the best that I have ever had! Try the New Orleans roll - the crawfish really stand out. The Fried Oyster roll rocks as well.. The down side: it's in a strip mall that features a Dollar General. The atmosphere isn't the best but the service is quick and professional. But the sushi is excellent and the prices are reasonable. I'm sure that I will become a regular!. read more

Large and varied menu, very reasonable prices. The food was beautifully presented with nice portions. I had coconut chicken and noodles that was absolutely awesome. The sushi rolls at our table were beautiful. The tempura lunch we had was huge with salad, cantalope, cucumber salad and a great selection of veg and shrimp tempura. My only complaint is that they brought out individual dishes as they were prepared and it was slow. By the time the fifth person at our table got served, the first was already done. Highly recommend but it may be slow. read more

Went to Megumi for the first time and we loved it! Service was great, attentive but not overly so where we could enjoy our meal. Sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious and they had so many options, I want to try them all. We will definitely be going back! read more

Scallop skewers are paper thin slices that were incredibly over cooked. Can you say CHEWY?!? They wound up not having the makings of the salad that was ordered to go with it but nobody bothered to call to tell me that before I went to pick up the order so an alternate selection could have been made. Had to make a sandwich at home just to put something in my stomach! I've been there before and it's been OK but this was so bad that the place is completely off my radar now. read more

oh boy oh boy get your mouth ready for a culinary experience rolling off of mount fuji itself. this sushi is cut with such professionalism i once checked in the kitchen to see if there were actual samurai making my food. i have been going here for years and still my eyes are too big for my mouth every single time. just lose yourself in the menu and sample everything and i guarantee you some bs roll like the "hwy 69 roll" will make you want to take all of your clothes off and streak in the parking lot its so good. this is how sushi should be in mandeville, it's punch your mother in the mouth good, kinda over priced, with a great overall dining experience. read more

Service is iffy and they play the most annoying music but I love picking up food to go there. Just wish they would be more generous with their condiments. Overall Sushi is one of Mandeville's best read more

Was not impressed by food, prices were notably higher than a few of the other nearby sushi places. Friendly staff though.

My wife placed an order online that was sent to the wrong location. She tried to call and correct the issue but could not get anyone on the phone after several attempts. She ended up placing an order at the correct location over the phone. She got her food and later saw that she had a voicemail from someone at this location (I assume the manager) informing her that she is "not nice" and "wasteful" which is A.) not true and B.) not something this person has any knowledge of. To approach a customer like that, regardless of whatever miscommunication may have happened, is wildly inappropriate and unprofessional. We will absolutely not be doing business with either Megumi location going forward. read more

Great sushi. Their playboy and Mandeville roll are excellent! The presentation is the best on the northshore when it comes to Sushi!

All of the cooked sushi rolls are divine. I haven't tried the raw versions but everything I have eaten is wonderful and the portions are large and can be shared. read more

Sit at the bar and get the sushi deluxe or chef's special!! Perfect for a date night, the chefs are all great and happy to answer any questions you have. I've also gone in to sit at a table and eat and the waitresses and waiters do an amazing job and are also super helpful! Going back tonight for another date night and I know I won't be disappointed! 10/10 would recommend read more

Always great food, quick and friendly service and never feel rushed. I try something new each visit and have never been disappointed. Sushi menu is BIG. read more

I went to dinner at Megumi on Saturday, April 21, 2018. My salad bowl had a big chip so I sent it back & told the waiter it was because of the chip. He brought a new salad in another chipped bowl. Then the platter of rolls came out with an even bigger chip and a piece of glass was in it close to my food. We asked for the manager, 15 minutes later he came out, briefly apologized but left the two chipped dishes on my table. The waiter then picked them up & put them, not in the garbage but in a container with other dirty dishes to be wasted & reused. This place doesn't care about the safety of their customers. So we won't be returning. read more

Always a pleasure to eat here. Smiling faces and good food, very pleasant atmosphere.

Megumi is the best sushi restaurant in all of Louisiana that I've tried. It is the freshest and their portions are well worth the price. I drive all the way from Metairie at least once a month to get their spicy tuna bowl. I would highly recommend and their location in Covington is also just as consistent as the Mandeville location. My only complaint is that they don't have a location closer to me! read more

Just ordered from here (to go) for first time since moving to Mandeville a year ago but hadn't found our go-to sushi place....until now. The lady who answered the phone and took our order helped me out when I asked for some recommendations and she was awesome. Just terrific sushi and even to go presentation was nice - got the concussion roll, smoke on the water the playboy and the tofu steak. All of it was incredible. read more
