“Been going here for years. Love it! Our favourite sushi place. Recommend Baked Salmon appetizer, Lacy, Leo and Katsumoto rolls.“

“Love the susie choices and that they have all you can eat, but some of their menus containing steak and shrimp are overcooked. We had a great waitress….“

“The ramen is top notch. This is not the first time I've wanted to just fill up on the broth without worrying about the solid ingredients which are delectable.“

“Don’t let the outside fool you. This place is excellent! I said my goal for 2026 was to find some type of sushi that I’d eat (I’m picky) and nailed it with the first thing I had from this place. Will definitely be frequenting this place more as it’s less than a five minute drive from my house.“

“Tried this place for the first time today. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. I ordered the chashu pork rice bowl and I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Baton Rouge so I can have it again!“

“Brought an out of town guest, and while they do not do omakase on the weekend, Chef was kind enough to do it for us! One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Baton Rouge!! Even better we sat at the sushi bar & could watch as each course come together! 👍👍“

“we love the food here!! we order at least 3 times a month 😅 sushi is always fresh, the hibachi meals are big enough to feed 2 people, & their prices are great! highly recommend ❤️“

“Best sushi restaurant 😍🤩👍“

“I dined in with my father and baby. We ordered #4 and #8. #4 was beef and chicken, and #8 was teriyaki eel. I'm always nervous about teriyaki because some places make it too salty. My chicken and beef were tender and delicious. My baby seemed to enjoy it, too. My dad enjoyed his eel! I don't know about other menu items, but what we ordered was a 10/10! We will return.“

“I used a third party service delivery to the home for an order of snow crabs potatoes and corn. Omg the cajun mild flavor was amazing. It was delicious. Forgive the picture I was so hungry I took a picture midway. Next time I will dine in. Thank you for the delicious crabs. You all can bottle up the sauce and sell it. Yum!!!“

“Every single night I order the sashimi plate. Usually I do takeout. But I cannot describe how wonderful this plate of assorted fish can truly be after a long day of work. There are other great sushi restaurants throughout Baton Rouge. Ichiban and Tsuyama have certainly established themselves and a great places to go eat sushi. Then, there are those that are just places to get sushi and nothing more. They offered nothing in the way of culture or give anything in return other than to fill your stomach. I was skeptical about Hello sushi at first, considering the name is not my favorite. But let me tell you, you can tell how good a sushi restaurant is based on its freshness and texture and vibrant of its fish. The octopus and the white fish and the salmon and the roe are killer! Most sashimi dinners are filled with imitation crab sticks (none of which is found in this assortment). It’s a little bit embarrassing how often I eat this sashimi dinner but I always like to order a random roll to go with it. And they are very good — the crunchy and the Philly and the speciality rolls — in particular the sea dragon which is loaded with delicious fish. The Hello There roll and the treasure island roll both use imported shrimp and are very unique.
When I do eat my sashimi, I like to mix it up. Of course I’ll use the ever-popular mainstay soy sauce. But dipping the white fish and the octopus into warm garlic butter is so, so good.
Do not sleep on this place. Again, best sashimi plate of all of the BR great ones.“

“I have been eating Tokyo Cafe for a very long time. It's actually the first place I tried sushi and hibachi. I still love their crunchy rolls. I got one yesterday and had to go back and get another because I ate it before I got out of the parking lot. Their crunchyrolls are different than everyone elses in fact every time I get a Crunchyroll from a different sushi place I order it like Tokyo Cafe's but it never comes out as good... They have asparagus, crunchy, and snow crab salad wrapped in seaweed and sticky rice with sesame seeds on the outside. I prefer to dip mine in eel sauce... They're very reasonably priced and the people that own and run it will treat you like family. I also love their fried rice and their Hawaiian roll... Actually, now that I think about it, I've never had a bad meal there.“
