    Negi-Toro Handroll
    Adrianna P.

    First time here and I sat at the bar. The service is great and the restaurant is clean and well put. I will definitely go again. All the sushi I tried was amazing.

    love yakuza house! it's one of my favorite sushi restaurants when i want to eat good and treat myself ($$-$$$). servers are always great! they recently started happy hour which is good for handrolls -- i would recommend getting the handrolls uncut

    Nigiri

    Just go. Service was fast, clean establishment. And the best thing there? The Nigiri! Ugh! I love them so much.

    I went to Yakuza House for my birthday and had an incredible experience! I was a little confused by the seating options when I booked, but even on a busy Saturday night right after New Year's, the staff was great and moved us from the bar to a table relatively quickly. The bar area was cool as you get to watch the make sushi up close. I just preferred the table for this visit. The vibe was super cute, dim but bright enough to still enjoy the experience. We started with the crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and the gyoza. The gyoza was a great addition, and while the spicy tuna was good, I personally would have preferred the crispy rice piece to be a bit thinner. I started my sushi journey with three hand rolls, which were all solid, but the absolute star of the night was the sushi assortment my server helped me put together. I tried two each of three popular pieces and one each of two more unique ones. Every single piece was amazing and literally felt like it melted in my mouth. It definitely had a high end Omakase feel but without the crazy price tag! I ended up ordering one final piece before leaving, and they were thoughtful enough to put a little candle on the plate for my birthday. If you want high quality sushi and a personalized experience, this is the spot.

    Fresh fish, diverse menu, and a really nice ambience made for a great dinner overall. Service was a bit mediocre and slow at times, but the food definitely delivered. Parking was easy too, which is always a plus. Would come back for the sushi. Reservations recommended during busier months, especially with happy hour times!

    Great nigiri! Favorites of the night included the hotate, wagyu, and salmon belly. Tried the hand rolls (didn't get a picture), but they weren't my favorite. Tuna had become slightly dry/tough, but the panko shrimp was yummy. Sat at the nigiri bar and the chefs were super kind!

    I ordered delivery through Uber Eats. The nigiris are so flavorful, fresh, and delicious!! Beautifully prepared and packaged efficiently.

    Misc dressed nigiri

    Such an amazing experience here! From the bubbly and friendly servers and kitchen staff to the incredibly fresh fish!!! Everything was perfect. I wanted triple of every piece on the menu (dressed nigiri and hand roll sushi). For the ambiance, we sat at the bar area watching the action of the chefs. It was truly amazing seeing the magic behind the scenes! Can't wait to come back.

    Crispy rice
    Adiaha M.

    I was introduced to Yakuza House last year by Yelp and Im so grateful for the introduction. Everything here is FRESH and delicious! I started with the salmon and tuna crispy rice which is YUM. Also quite filling so be mindful when dining alone like I was. I got the starving temaki handrolll set which was plenty and comes with soup and salad. Definitely couldn't finish my food but I left so satisfied! I would like to return for the omakase experience!

    The Hangry Handroll Set
    Khoi N.

    Our first time at yakuza house did not disappoint! We ordered the hangry roll set, the sake toro belly, the mushroom udon and the unagi. The mushroom udon is a must with the combination of king and shiitake mushrooms. Such flavorful combinations! The unagi was also a great with the fresh eel. The crispy rice was also a great starter. The hangry and the sake toro were okay. The flavors didn't feel as impactful as they should have been. The ube cheesecake was nice and light. Overall, it's a great place if you like hand rolls, but the nigiri did not live up to the hype.

    Clear soup and salad
    Mina H.

    Yakuza House is a fairly priced restaurant that offers great quality items. The new location off of Severn is modern and spacious. You can see how clean the workspace is if you sit at the bar. It's also cool to sit there and watch the skills of the chefs working too. This time, I tried their: *Takoyaki ($7 for 4 pieces) - Freshly fried and delicious, crispy on the outside with a piping hot soft center. The topping off with a little drizzle of ponzu is new for me, and it goes well! *Salmon teriyaki hot plate entree ($18) - Fantastic, can't go wrong with soup, salad, teriyaki salmon, grilled veggies and white rice! I love both the clear soup (fish-stock base) and the miso soup that they have for options. No skimping on the miso here, it's perfect. I also love both the ginger-carrot dressing and the sesame dressing for the salads. *Unagi donburi ($19) - Veggies and broiled eel topped on white rice. Another classic that can't go wrong. It's amazing. I wish there was a little more eel on top of the rice portion-wise, but overall not a real complaint since we know eel is pricy. This one also comes with soup and salad! *Crispy rice appetizer ($15) - I didn't love this one. it's basically 4 pieces of nigiri sushi topped with tuna and salmon, but the rice is made into the little nigiri shape and then fried. I thought frying the rice would be a creative delicious twist, but I found that it made it feel more dense, which took away from the favor of the tuna/salmon. Presentation was top-notch though as with all of their other menu items! *Shisojito cocktail (not sure the price) - This tasted like a lemon sour cocktail. It was really good! I wish it had shiso (a fragrant herb/leaf in the mint family) mixed into the actual drink and not just used as a topping because I LOVE shiso. It would have gone well with the drink itself! Their portions aren't large or anything, but they're fair and you won't go home hungry. The quality of the items here are high, the flavors outstanding, and the restaurant is a local favorite for a reason!

    Really really wonderful service. Our waitress was super upbeat and excited to hear how our food was. I loved that you check off your menu choices with a pencil so it's easier to keep track of your options. The real standouts to me were the aji and hotate nigiris. The aji was a rec from the waitress and was very fresh, light and buttery. The sear on the hotate and shiso butter were an addictive combo - I had to order another. Overall I would say if you are a sushi lover for the flavor combinations, this is your place. If you're a sushi purist, i can't say it is the best fish I have ever had in the New Orleans area, but it was very good!

    Omakase experience was amazing. I've done Omakase at different restaurants before and this was 2nd to none. I worried it wasn't going to be enough food because we're big eaters, but I was stuffed. The service was perfect and the ambiance was beautiful. The experience took a little over 2 hours and my rump was a little sore sitting in the hard booth seat. I think we'll sit at a table that has padded seating if we do the Omakase again.
