This is a well-decorated Asian restaurant with great service, and quick cooking preparations. The establishment 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). read more

Sushi nami restored my hope in sushi in New Orleans. as seated in 10-15 minutes on a Friday night table 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! read more

Great service. This is all you can eat, is a great value. The sushi was good and the speed of delivery was excellent! We would recommend this place for sure. read more

This is the first sushi place in New Orleans that really impressed me. I love the decor of the restaurant; it has a nice cherry blossom aesthetic. The sushi itself was really good. The nigiri has a good presentation and flavor, especially the spicy tuna. As a nigiri lover I was impressed with the freshness and good flavor. The smoked salmon nigiri was buttery and flavorful. The server brought our food in good time and was very attentive throughout the day. Also the ice cream is really good. I would say the price for the AYCE is a pretty good deal especially at lunch. This place gets a perfect score from me. I will be coming back on my next visit. read more

I really love coming here for lunch! The lunch buffet is very reasonably priced, and honestly, the food is so savory and delicious that it's worth every penny. The Miso Soup is a personal favorite, and the teriyaki protein options are phenomenal. I love how simple and clean the teriyaki flavors are; it makes the dish taste high-quality and consistent every time I visit. I also tried a variety of their sushi rolls, and almost all of them were delicious! The only exception was a fried roll (I believe it was tuna or salmon) that didn't quite hit the mark for me--it wasn't as smooth a flavor as the others. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Came here tonight for dinner. The food was decent, but our server, although very sweet, was absent for most of our visit. AYCE is great if you can actually order. We got tired of waiting and left before I could order a dish I wanted to try, and we skipped dessert. read more

When we went it was fairly busy so the service wasn't the quickest but that was t their fault. The food was ok nothing special but it was all you can eat for a reasonable price. The atmosphere was very calm and inviting on a long day off of work. read more

Officially our new favorite AYCE sushi experience in the New Orleans area. There have been a few new places like this popping up lately and after visiting a handful of them, Sushi Nami is our favorite by far. It's a great way to try some new selections. They have lively clean feeling decor, great selections on the menu, fresh fish and kind efficient service. We will be back, and we are bringing friends!! read more

Amazing selection of specialty rolls! The tuna was incredibly fresh, and the appetizers were absolutely delicious. The udon noodle soup was exactly what we needed to start the meal off right. You can definitely tell they use fresh shrimp, which is always a huge plus. The staff was super friendly, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was just perfect. read more

My cousin and I tried this place for lunch. It's a great option for trying a lot of different things without paying a crazy price. Fyi..they do charge if you don't finish eating certain items. They bring things out really quickly and in small portions. Good concept to allow you to taste a bit of everything. Everything was pretty good except the scallops and fried rice. They were fried and tasted weird...not like a scallop. Some things on the menu are not included in the all you can eat price but there are still PLENTY of options. I would visit again. Free parking is always a plus too. read more

I give this place 5 stars! It was delicious, and they do all you can eat sushi. The portions are smaller, but you can order as much as you want within a 2-hour time frame. We had such a great time beautiful ambiance, super accommodating staff, and definitely kid-friendly. read more

It's not often I can offer my highest praise to an all you can eat restaurant but Sushi Nami is simply AWESOME! Each dish is prepared by artisans that see to it that each dish looks like artwork. I have had many great meals there and they are happy to keep the dishes coming until you are satisfied. I've had meals at nobu and local sushi places that run 5X the price of Sushi Nami but truly, the difference is negligible. The staff is awesome, the restaurant is cool and stunning, it's clean and modern and I would eat there several times a week, if time permitted. A wonderful gem in Metairie! read more

For the very low price of just $33 for all you can eat sushi plus one beverage of your choice (including your first glass of wine or sake), it's not a bad deal at all. All of the sushi is not that great and some of the other menu items, like the fried rice, gyoza, and fried scallop, aren't really good at all. But I'm sure you can find a couple rolls you like since it's so many to choose from. The service here is pretty amazing, they are very attentive and continuously check on you throughout your visit. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and very family and solo diner friendly. read more

Walking in made me think of something in Vegas/so festive! When we arrived it wasnt busy at all but there was a party in the event room across the way. Our waitress Lacy was super sweet and made sure we understood exactly how the AYCE situation worked. The options were great and although some things took longer because of the party-the waitress was very apologetic & made sure to check on things that seemed to be taking too long. Everything I had was delicious except I did not enjoy the sashimi squid (I was just being adventurous lol). My faves were the Rainbow Roll, eel & yellow fin sashimi and my shrimp and noodles. My husband had the cold sake and said it was good. I'd definitely come back! read more

This is my fifth time at Sushi Nami for all you can eat sushi. The ambience of the place is really cool and the workers are very nice and attentive! As for the sushi, I feel like each time I come it's a different experience. Half the time, the sushi has been so fresh and amazing and the other half it's mid. I would say this is a good spot to come if you're looking to feast and the fried Oreos were bomb (but an extra fee). AYCE is $33/ person which is comparable to sushi masa which is $35/person (but more consistent in my opinion). read more

Solid choice for sushi. You definitely need to take advantage of the all-you-can- eat menu. I went for a solo dinner last night and sat at the bar. Both bartenders were attentive. Included with the AYCE is your first domestic beer/house wine/saki on the house. Considering it was AYCE, I was surprised that it was full sushi rolls. You really cannot beat it for $34! I went on the early side of the dinner service and they weren't too busy, but when I left the lobby was full of people waiting on a table. Despite the full restaurant, it wasn't very noisy. I can't wait to go back with a group and get a bigger variety of rolls. read more

Sushi Nami was a vibrant experience! It's spacious & beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms. They have the best lychee martinis, & their all you can eat sushi menu is of high quality which includes complimentary drinks like hot sake, house wine,& other beverages. The food was consistently fresh. The kani salad, edamame, & the tuna sashimi was delicious. The ambiance makes is perfect for date nights, celebrations, girls night & anniversaries & they have a large private room available for events. The service was just as top-tier, S/O to our server Dylan; the staff was friendly, attentive, & made the entire experience memorable. I highly recommend Sushi Nami for anyone in the Metairie, New Orleans & surrounding ares looking for excellent sushi, a gorgeous setting, & top-tier hospitality. read more

Solid AYCE experience. Food came out fast. And service was attentive. Atmosphere is like a night club, lol. The lunch menu is deep value, and I'd go back just for the beef soba.

I recommend Sushi Nami if you're a sushi lover. I tried the $34.99 AYCE with a group of friends. The AYCE offers a variety of options - appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, sushi rolls, and desserts. The orders were in a perfect portion - small but sufficient. It allowed us to try more options from the menu without wasting too much. The ingredients were fresh. We were all happy. The interior was cool. I loved the dark tone and the Japanese decors. Our servers were super friendly. She checked on us multiple times and came by frequently to ask if we needed anything. Overall, I had a great experience at Sushi Nami. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

What a fun tasty place!!! And it has elevators so really accesible for anyone with mobility issues (which is now becoming part of my reviews) The food is tasty!!! The sushi excellent! We went there for a party and had the all you can eat! Not sure I needed the all you can eat since the rolls are a very healthy portion. We went back again and order a la carte, again with good results ( although I did not like the steamed shumai this time). The drinks were tasty and the overall presentation was nice. As for the ambiance I love the size of the restaurant. The space can easily acomódate large parties but is equally good if you just go on a date. All staff is well trained and attentive. So I'll recommend this place as my second favorite sushi in Metaire, and will come back next time I get together with my large family or friends for Sushi. BTW the prices are very reasonable and affordable. read more

I'm back!!!! The service hasn't been the best lately, I've been getting the same thing which is the chicken fried rice and the snow crab rolls. The food was okay. The first few times I've gone here I wasn't charged for eel sauce but now I am even if it doesn't come with it. I just don't think it's fair bc if I were eating in it'd be included. I don't think I'll be eating here again for a while, it was nice when I first started coming but not anymore. read more

I ordered sushi for delivery and got a 2-for-1 deal on the crazy spicy tuna rolls. The seaweed salad had a bit of a funky flavor but was generous portion. The rolls had hardly any cucumber or jalapeño, and were mostly imitation krab inside. Most disappointing though was the paper thin tuna on top. I probably will keep looking for sushi spots that work for delivery. read more

Sushi Nami - Crazy spicy tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Stopped in on Saturday night! There was about a 20 minute wait so we decided to sit at the bar since it was late and we were tired. The bartender was nice and made some great recommendations. We opted for the "all you can eat option" which was nice as it was made to order and had a variety of options from sushi, sashimi, appetizers, hibachi, and nigiri. The "all you can eat " option was about $32 per person. It was great to be able to try a variety of things to see what we liked and at such an affordable price. The food came out quickly. The only downside was the tattered menu and over talkative and opinionated bartender. read more

We hate to waste food but there was so much we didn't like. It's not even that it was basic most things had no flavor at all or tasted funny. Doubt very highly we'll be back. Sorry it just seems like one of those Instagramable places and my crew prefers good food! The service was great though. read more

100% worth it!! My mom and I dined here for the first time today, & everything was up to par! The decorum was clean and fit the setting so well with beautiful Japanese aesthetics. Service was also very nice and helpful with us the entire time. We got their All You Can Eat Dinner option ($33.99 per person) where you can call as many things from the AYCE menu as you want within a span of 2 hours. You also get free refills on soda, tea, & water. The quality of the food was delicious! I was worried that the seafood wouldn't be fresh since it's AYCE but I was thankfully wrong about that thought. For 2 people dining with the AYCE Dinner option (with tax), it totaled up to $74.22. Price wise, I'd say it's well worth trying if you're a big sushi/sashimi person. I'll definitely come back to Sushi Nami next time whenever I'm craving sushi. read more

Sushi Nami is an all you can eat Sushi restaurant in Metairie, LA. We were a party of six when we arrived for dinner. You must take the stairs to access the restaurant. The whole entrance and the staircase are adorned in cherry blossoms, there's also a massive wall art of a Geisha. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table. In the meantime we had some drinks at the bar. Sushi Nami is pretty big. There are cherry blossoms across the ceiling. Their menu is broad, offering an illustration of every item. You can also have the Al a Carte menu, which are individually priced items. The cost per person for all you can eat sushi is $33.99. At Sushi Nami your first drink, whether it's Saki, house wine or beer, are included with the all you can eat menu. We first started with soup and the seaweed salad. Each of the rolls of sushi arrived on its own serving dish. With the exception of the Bugs Bunny roll, which was essentially all lettuce, all of the rolls were excellent. They were all flavorful, fresh and so colorful! Summer Roll was one of my favorites. If you're looking for fresh, tasty sushi while in Metairie, LA, look no further than Sushi Nami. read more

Overall, we were unimpressed and even though the price was decent, we won't be rushing back any time soon. We went for dinner on a Sunday and don't need "all you can eat" so did ala cart. Started off good with hot sake and soup arriving quickly and then fell off hard. Nothing else came for 20 minutes at least and then what did come wasn't our appetizers. The waiter had to come over and ask us what had come out and then it seemed like he was putting it in again. The appetizers were just basic fried stuff (gyoza and tempura) so no reason they shouldn't have been able to come out fairly well quick. Had to wait for silverware/napkin roll and had to get someone flagged down to bring us a water refill. Also had to remind them to make sure our second sake was still on the way. Positives of the meal - sake presentation was nice and the fleur de lis roll was really good. read more

The food and service were great at this place. We decided to try a variety of items since it was lunch all you can eat. Started off with a few apps and salads, all which were tasty. Portions are small which I enjoyed so we were able to try more things. I got the avocado salad, fried scallops, fried calamari, fried chicken wings, shrimp fried rice to start. All were really good but the rice was my favorite. For our second round we got a soup, Terriyaki shrimp, salmon sushi and another thing but I forgot the name. Our final round was another Sushi roll, the Kiss me roll or something like that, it was one of their deep fried rolls with cream cheese, crab. It was all so good. The best part was the drinks. We ordered a Lychee Martini as well as a Pina Colada Coconut type drink and they were both delicious! The decor was very cute and the space was nice, vibrant, and clean. Our server was pretty attentive as well. Will definitely be back to try more items. Very good for this price point. We also tried all the flavors of ice cream, nothing special but it was a nice treat at the end! read more
