    Miso soup, lsu roll
    Shazia W.

    Tried this sushi spot for the first time a few weeks ago and I was not disappointed. I ended up getting the lsu roll and a miso soup. I did takeout , and it was ready within 15 min. Prices were very reasonable. Everything was so fresh and the people working were so nice. The next time I go back I will be eating there and hopefully trying something new!

    Alligator Roll

    My son and I were looking for a good sushi bar to eat at and we found Okini Sushi Bar on Yelp. It's not far from my house so we decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad that we did! This place is like a little tucked away gem. I must've driven past it several times throughout the year and never even realized it was there. The atmosphere is nice, the staff are wonderful and welcoming, and the quality of the food was fresh. My son got the Alligator Roll and the Gyoza and I got the Alaska Roll and Metairie Roll. Everything we had tasted great. It was our first visit there, but we will definitely be back.

    Small restaurant but large on taste and selections! Salmon Box Sushi was fresh and delicious. Futomaki outstanding as well as the squid salad, salmon roe and smelt roe were generous in portion. Staff is very friendly and efficient. We will be back on a regular basis!

    Friendly people! They are a small place, but their sushi was really fresh and flavorful! We got our food to go, and even though they went a few minutes over the time they expected with our food they were super apologetic. They threw in complimentary shrimp dumplings to our order to make up for it. You can tell it's a small family owned business. They deserve the hype! Will definitely be back!! My husband and I devoured the dumplings before I thought to take a picture LOL. Picture below is the deep fried crunchy roll and the Rock n Roll added cream cheese!

    Shrimp tempura appetizer.

    Came here on lenten Friday. Small and cozy, mom and pop kinda place. Service was friendly. Food was good. I would come back for a quiet meal.

    Okini/Mango roll

    Yummy sushi restaurant ! Husband and wife in the kitchen while their daughter waits tables . They are all very friendly and personable. Fairly new to River Ridge, previously further down Jefferson Highway . Fresh made, better than any of the other sushi restaurants near us. We've tried a few different sushi rolls. Monster roll, LSU roll , and today Okini /Mango Roll . The rolls are large and filling. My husband and I split the order and still had leftovers . It was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Spicy crunchy tuna roll. Metairie Roll.(r)

    Great fresh tuna, inventive rolls. Fresh I've been twice since they have opened. Trying the Tuna Donburri, tuna tataki and some classic and special rolls. The Metairie roll is excellent. Also enjoy the caterpillar roll. Have many others I want to try.

    Sake Don is back baby. Still getting their new business together but the food is amazing. Very happy to have them back and closer to home.

    Spicy yellowtail
    Alexander U.

    Sushi was very fresh. Ordered the soft shell crab roll, spicy yellowtail , crunchy roll and Boston roll. All were delicious! It may be a small sushi bar, but it packs huge flavor. WILL be back!!

    Very welcoming, family-owned establishment with decades of experience preparing fresh sushi for the community. We enjoyed two bottles of wine (BYOB for now) with our delicious dinner - the salmon nigiri with green onions, sriracha, and ponzu sauce is a must! It's an off-the-menu item so be sure to ask for it. My husband's favorite was their eel nigiri as it was very crispy and flavorful, and the hamachi nigiri was also a highlight of our night. The service was also lovely! Can't wait to return with more family and friends!

    Crunchy roll and Metairie Roll!

    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!
