Wahada Sushi presents itself as a casual, approachable sushi and bento spot, offering a straightforward menu that lends itself well to a midday visit. The sushi is clean and serviceable, while the bento box provides a thoughtful variety that leans more toward balance and comfort than ambition. Service carries a warm, family-like familiarity that subtly elevates the experience, and pricing remains reasonable without feeling reductive. The atmosphere is understated and functional rather than stylized, but it supports the meal without distraction, resulting in a quietly reliable and unpretentious dining experience. read more

My wife and I both really love Wahada. We go fairly often and there is always one server there who is amazing! The gyoza dumplings and all their rolls are delicious. We aren't huge fans of the Yaki Udon but it's just not our thing. If you're looking for a quiet, lowkey, great sushi place - give Wahada a shot! read more

I placed a phone order. The person on the other end was nice and considerate. The egg rolls were the best I've had in a minute from a restaurant. I will definitely go again for them. The New Orleans roll on the other band was good but would have been great without the flying fish roe. I've never had it before so it's partly my fault. They barely had flavor but it was a texture problem for me. They were a bobba consistency but crunchier. The "special sweet sauce" was good but definitely can be used as a side sauce instead of on the roll. The roll itself had a lil kick to it that I loved I will definitely return again to try something else or to try the New Orleans roll again without the flying fish roe. read more

Tried this place out because multiple people recommended it to me! I think it was really good and the staff was really nice. The crunchy roll was honestly sooo good.

I've ordered food as takeout from here a couple times and have enjoyed it each time. The sushi is tasty and they prepare the food pretty fast. The menu is pretty expansive as well. I had the tiger roll which has crawfish, tuna, salmon, avocado, and eel. It fulfilled my sushi craving for sure. They packaged my meal with the typical wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce which I always like. I've experienced good customer service with each visit as well. This restaurant is hidden in plain sight and I encourage you to stop by and give your taste buds a little treat. read more

Small and clean.... Great service amazing Sushi! We loved the sushi. Will definitely be back soon.

Totally underwhelmed. I had high hopes for this restaurant. The prices are quite good. I ordered the egg rolls and they were mushy and not tasty. I ordered sashimi and they gave me 2 gratis pieces of kani which is pet peeve of mine. KANI IS NOT SASHIMI. Add to the sashimi, it was bland. It wasn't old, just super bland. read more

Wahada is a Japanese restaurant that is located on Nicholson near Brightside. This restaurant is my go-to for good sushi and good food for a moderate price. You can get a bento box that is really filling for around 10 dollars. You can get a big plate of fried rice for 7 dollars. You can get some ramen or some other noodles for 7-10 dollars. I think the price for these specific items are pretty worth it for the quality of the food that you get. The service is really good as well. The waiter or waitress are usually really nice and accommodating. They would bring you the food relatively quickly, and they would refill your drink pretty quickly as well. They also have worked hard to make sure that the area is clear and that the customers are well and happy. The food is really good. I always enjoy it. The taste of everything is very well seasoned and very hearty. The ramen soup is hot and has a deep flavor to it. The fried rice always has the burn of the pan on it which gives it a umami taste. The sushi always tastes fresh and packs a nice taste with it. The ginger and wasabi is pretty fresh and adds even more flavor to the sushi. I think this sushi place does a lot to provide the customer with quality food at a decent price. I would definitely recommend coming here, but I might be biased as I go here a lot. read more

Do yourself a favor and GO TO WAHADA! I have gone here probably over 50 times throughout college. It is literally so good, and the prices are great for us college kids or anyone on a budget! Some of my favorite rolls include the brandi, sarah, giant, tiger, rainbow, crunchy, and the rock n roll! There are so many good ones to choose from. My go-to order is the crunchy roll (to save a little money) with an order of chicken and veggie fried rice with extra eel sauce on the side. I highly recommend this little family-owned restaurant. The people are always very friendly, and their food is amazing for the price! read more

This evening I decided to try Wahada for the first time. I've lived 2 minutes from Wahada for 4 years now but I've never been brought to try it. I've heard mixed reviews, mostly good, but I always go for my regular places like Umami, Ichiban, Rock n Sake, which is why I've never tried. Let's just say I'm super glad I finally tried it! I ordered the Amanda Roll and the Salmon Avocado Roll. The Amanda Roll was huge and phenomenal. The Salmon Avocado Roll was delicious as well and pretty fresh and decently sized. Both rolls together were $21. That's a good deal when many special rolls from restaurants in BR are that alone or more. I love my regular sushi places, but this was cheap AND good! I ordered my sushi on the phone and it was ready within ten minutes and the worker was very friendly and it was a smooth process. I ordered take out and realized when I went in that it didn't seem like a place to sit down/that many people sit down to eat. There were tables, but it was dimly lit and completely empty. I probably wouldn't sit down to eat, but I'd def go back for some good take out sushi! If you want a quick, easy, and delicious sushi option for dinner, definitely try this place out! read more

What the actual heck? This food is so bad. I really don't understand how it has 4.5 stars. They must've purchased those good reviews. I ordered the pork gyoza dumplings and the teriyaki chicken entree. The gyoza dumplings were alright. I've had much better from other places. The teriyaki chicken was the worst. I don't even understand how this passes FDA standards. It looks like they just drizzled sauce over unseasoned chicken. It is so unsatisfactory. The chicken reminds me of the skin from examination bodies they use in science labs to show you the skin and fat tissue. This must be how people in medieval times ate. I think the only good thing was the rice and the sweet tea. So bad. read more

Have been going to Wahadas for years never disappoints. My go to favorites: Sahara roll, Brandi roll, and Utah roll. For non-sushi eaters: the combination dinner is a perfect selection giving you two 'entree' items chosen from a group of options w/ dumplings, salad, cali roll, and a rice ball. read more

Wow! I can't believe I have lived within 2 miles of this place for years and never went. The first time I tried it I just got takeout, but then went back a few days later when some friends and I wanted to go out for sushi. The rolls are good- they have everything from a simple California roll to fully loaded specialty rolls. I had a California roll, spicy tuna roll, snow crab roll, and a crunchy roll between the two visits and enjoyed all of them, though my favorite was the crunchy roll. I also loved their snow crab salad. The best thing about this place was the price! The rolls are quite cheap and you get a lot of food for the money. Even the specialty rolls weren't super expensive. I want to go back for lunch to try one of the bento box specials. Overall, great spot to eat a bunch of sushi without breaking the bank! read more

I ordered takeout. Chicken teriyaki, temporary and snow crab roll. I was happy with the low price, but the quality was low as well. The chicken was overcooked and tasteless with a drizzle of sweet teriyaki sauce. Vegetables or similarly not seasoned and mushy. The accompanying soup and salad was good. the snow crab roll tasted a bit fishy, but was fine otherwise. A temporary roll was soggy. Later that night, both my wife and I felt a little sick. read more

Excellent all around! Service and food great! Beer selection, not so much, even out of the wine choices I tried to sub, so don't expect anything there. but the Brandi roll, rock n roll & baked salmon were worth the sacrifice. will return for the food, worth checking out! read more

It was take out only, which is fine. The service was good and fast. The price is nice. The serving size is large. The sushi itself is meh. I got 4 rolls. The sushi did not taste fresh at all. I knew it was too good to be true :( read more

I've been eating at Wahada for the past 7 years so I figured I'd update my 2013 review. I eat here about once a week and typically get the same things: Vegetable tempura, veggie rolls, avocado rolls, and a custom sweet potato tempura roll (just ask and they'll make it!). My husband and I are both vegan and we love how accommodating the staff is. They make me a custom tempura fried sweet potato roll that is delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable - I almost took off a star because the dining area could be cleaner, but the price makes up for it. For 2 people eating an appetizer, 4 rolls, and a jug of hot sake- the price comes out to less than $30. read more

Great service for to go orders and the sushi is pretty good. Prices are pretty cheap too

I got the spring roll appetizer, dragon roll, and snow crab roll. The dragon roll had 11 pieces at $10.50. It tasted delicious and was very affordable! The snow crab roll had 8 pieces at $4.50. The sushi at this place tastes great and is relatively cheap too. The waiter was nice and courteous as well. read more

This place has amazing sushi & deserves a visit. The wings are the best I've ever had from an Asian restaurant.

Wahada is one of my favorite sushi places in the Baton Rouge area! I usually always get the Amanda Roll--cream cheese in sushi is a must for me! It was only $11.50 and came with 12 big pieces. I also got some wings and a house salad with ginger dressing. Definitely very convenient for take away instead of dining in! #yelplove read more

We eat here almost weekly! Loved it in undergrad and still 5 stars 10 years later! Highly recommend!

I ordered the volcano roll, which came with baked scallops on top. The presentation looks nice, but the scallops were far from baked. They were BARELY warm and the scallops tasted uncooked. The server was nice and the place is clean. However, I would not come again based on this experience. read more

Perfect for a college budget! I "splurged" and had the New Orleans roll and loved it! Though could have used a bit of crunch, maybe cucumber? Either way the flavors were amazing perfect amount if spice to excite those tastebuds! My roomate whose vegan was very pleased with her avocado roll and vegetable rolls! Oh I also had the shrimp tempura roll, nothing to write home about but it did the job. We were served "freaky fast" as our waiter pointed out All in all, decent experience but decor needs a lot of work. So they are definitely going to be a take-out option for me. read more

I have been ordering Wahada delivery for years now and the quality is always great. Its affordable, delicious, fresh and consistent. For the price you'd think they skimp on fish and use mostly rice, and you'd be wrong. Plus, super quick and free delivery (for orders over $20). read more

I was craving sushi and Wahada hit the spot! I came here twice in a week if that tells you anything. The first time I came with 5 people so we were able to order a lot of food. We started with the fried oysters, fried calamari (which was off menu but when we asked they were able to make it for us) and a shrimp tempura entree as an appetizer. The shrimp tenpura here is HUGE!! We got chicken and shrimp fried rice, rainbow roll sashimi deluxe, box sushi with salmon and salmon, a baked roll with scallops, another baked roll with shrimp tempura and crab meat, dynamite roll, crunchy roll, spider roll amongst some others. Everything was fresh and scrumptious. The prices were definitely way more affordable than anything I have in Houston. Next time that I go back to Baton Rouge I will definitely be visiting this establishment again. One modification that I made to my box sushi is that I asked them to add crunchies on top and that just put it wayyyyyy over the top and took it to a whole new level. Box sushi does have a lot of rice in it but I like it because it gets me full and I love rice! Eat here, order a lot of food, you'll definitely get your money's worth and be happy!!! read more

"WAHADA - it's to CRY for!!! After one taste, it will leave you with tears of joy!" Or so states Wahada's website. In any case, these boasts are a slight exaggeration. Wahada is actually a by-the-numbers Japanese and sushi restaurant that, despite its rather staid ambience and plain sea-blue decor, appears to be quite popular with the kids from nearby LSU. While Wahada is not bad, it's not really anything to get terribly excited about. It's pretty generic. The sushi was OK, but nothing to write home about. Compared to my favorite sushi places in New Orleans, I didn't think the freshness measured up, at least not on the Sunday evening we were there. (And yeah, maybe that's not the best night to get fish, anywhere...) The menu has the standard-issue rolls you see all over the place, and the choices of fish for nigiri and sashimi were somewhat limited. The sushi chefs' knife and assembly skills aren't a problem. Wahada is certainly not bad, and the prices are quite reasonable. Seaweed salad comes in a giant portion (one $4.95 order is probably enough for two), but it was strangely sweet. Beer selection is rather limited, too, but then that's the fault in part of Louisiana distributors, who at this late date still haven't fully gotten with the craft- and micro-brew program. Service was competent and friendly. All in all, a fair-to-middling sushi experience. I shouldn't complain too much, because my current landlocked town sucks for sushi, but then my expectations get raised for places closer to the coasts. read more

Been coming here for 4 years and they still have some of my favorite sushi rolls!! It's very affordable for good sushi and they have very fast service.
