I was in town for Louisiana Tech function and was recommended to check out this sushi spot from a Bulldog Alumnus. This restaurant changed locations a couple of years ago but I am glad that I was able to find it because I had a great experience.
A simple, modern sophisticated sushi experience in Ruston, LA that I would compare favorably to larger cities like Los Angeles and NYC! Bring your smartphone to use their ordering via "Toast". They had clean, minimalist decor with a bar and a few tables so consider using the website for reservations. The staff were very friendly and I spoke with the owners about their history and philosophy. Currently they have a straightforward simple menu of sushi... that's it... that's what was there for!
I started with a salmon crudo with a bit of peppery flavor and the sashimi. The steak roll and the garlic tuna rolls were fantastic! The garlic and heat from the Serrano pepper on the garlic tuna were, as the sushi chef said "bold strong flavors!" I was pretty filled from this meal.
I highly recommend this spot. Be prepared that this establishment uses an online, credit card only ordering system with your smartphone. I think they add a gratuity charge as well. A bit more $$ compared to some other local sushi but the quality and the service of this sushi restaurant are worth it if you want a premium sushi experience that otherwise you would need to travel to a larger city. Maybe they will consider adding a simple sweet treat for after dinner but there are other great local spots for dessert. I will be back here again! read more
