34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Chalmette

“Horrible service. The good reviews must be from family and friends. The worker is mean and has a big negative chip on her shoulder. She cursed me because I wanted a refund for a wrong pick up order. Not professional restaurant service“

“So today I brought my family to UMI Hibachi and sushi in Chalmette to celebrate the twins birthday. We was given the lunch menu and ordered of the the lunch menu. I saw the the kids meal was $9.99 and the Lunch meal was $10.50. I specifically ask the young man what was the 50 cent difference between the kids lunch meal and the regular lunch meal . He told me that the lunch meal came with noodles. So I told him we’ll just give my boys a regular lunch meal. As he started to bring out the salad and soup I notice he only brought out one set for one of my boys. I told him I want the lunch meal for all of them. So he came back with more 2 sets of salad and soup. After we finish eating I get my bill and he charge us for the dinner combination Vs the lunch meal. I told him that not what I ordered. The dinner combination meals are $26.99 each . He said that we received dinner combinations portions so that what I have to paid for. First, I don’t have a problem with paying but that not what I ordered. I ask to speak with the manager . The manager send the waiter back and told him to tell us that there’s no negotiation it’s either we pay are else . So I’m the wrong individual to threaten like that. I send him back to his manger to tell her I’m not paying for nothing I didn’t ordered. The manager then came out and said the owner said that either we pay the dinner combination price or they was going to call the police . Now I feel very disrespected because you’re trying to make me pay for something I didn’t ordered, you’re also not trying to negotiate. So I told them to call the cop because the cop don’t scare me. The cop came and heard both side of the story . Ì eventually paid for what I originally ordered but the owner also ban me from the establishment. I’m writing this because this restaurant treated me and my family very unfairly. We went in there to celebrate the twins birthday because that what they wanted . If this was a black business ppl would blast them all over the internet. Please don’t go to to this business. Especially if you’re black… The owner wasn’t there but I know he knew I was black and while he was on the phone he kept telling the cop that I know he don’t want to paid . The cop kept telling him the guy has no problem with paying but only what he ordered. He ban me because they was wrong lol .. I already had it in my mind that I’ll never go back anyways .. Once again THANK YOU UMI Hibachi and sushi in Chalmette for messing up my sons birthday celebration…“

“Me and my kids live right by the street. Ever time we go there they are so nice to us. My kids LOVE sushi! My older son 12, he said there soup is a five star! Lol“

“Such a chill atmosphere! Great service and amazing sushi!“

“Wasabi sushi exceeded all expectations! The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor—especially the Charlie Brown Row . The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making the entire experience unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The food I had was awesome I really enjoyed the rice and the soft shell crab app.“

“Amazing service, delicious rolls, I arrived close to closing and was met with kind faces. Though I was fully prepared to not be seated, they welcomed me and satisfied my hungry belly. The roll was much larger than expected, almost like a burrito. I was amazed at the great work in such little time. I loved the location as well, next to my gym and my favorite coffee shop. If anyone is on the fence, please decide to try it and hopefully, like me, love it. Thank you to the people who helped me out and made my night an enjoyable experience :)“

“Love it..If you want good and fresh food this is the place..Clean, friendly, and the food is really really delicious. I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed.“

“This is the only sushi place I know that doesn't have both red and green label soy sauce on every table. I think they only have one bottle of green label soy sauce for the whole restaurant. It's upon request and and they will take it back at anytime.“

“Amazing food and customer service. Always a go-to for special occasions or just a night out. 10/10“

“just ordered from them on Beyond Menu app. everything was hot a delish!“

“What an experience!
We met with some friends for the Omakase menu and it was well worth the cost. With this, you get 12 or 15 different sashimi options. Each were so delectable and tasted Ike the best quality. They presented about 3 of the 12 at a time so you were not overloaded with a big platter. Highly recommend if you like the raw type. Our server was fantastic and knew every single item that was placed on the table. Cocktails were so good as well and I recommend their off menu rum drink. Decor inside is cozy and modern but very inviting. Don’t sleep on the apps as well and you MUST get the Brussels! We will be back very soon!

P.S. catch happy hour for specials on Brussels and you better get the crispy rice trio!“

“Just left and as usual a great experience. I never feel neglected by the servers here, tonight our server gave me a great recommendation, had the most cheerful personality! A must go always!“

“Not sure what happened, I eat here at least twice a month. Today’s sushi (spicy tuna and spicy scallop) was absolutely terrible.“

“Love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“1st time eating here. got recommendations for what to try. food was very good“

“Food was amazing. Service was phenomenal! Everything was perfect and I can't wait to go back.“

“The surf and turf roll was mouthwatering… The flavors Transcended the inner workings of my mouth and stomach simultaneously. Fresh imported cold sake was Out of this world and it was the icing on the cake on what was already a luxurious experience“

“At times, when you go to a restaurant and order from the hibachi menu, everything tastes just like the last hibachi food you ate, but the food here was amazing! Even their simple salad with ginger dressing was amazing. The server was quick and responsive and the chef was great.“

“Delicious food, filet was well seasoned and super tender. Teriyaki chicken was not dry and the sauce is amazing. Will definitely be a regular. ❤️“

“Very popular modern style sushi & sake bar on Magazine. Happy hour menu with a handful of sushi items and cocktail specials. Good staff, friendly place, especially Ty, a consummate creative. It must be nationally renowned as there are a lot of celebrity-signed portraits.“

“My meal, yesterday, was excellent; it was something I'd never had, before, so an adventure. I chose the Tonkotsu Black Ramen ('cause I love me some pork). I'd never had pork bellies, before, either, and the two in this ramen were so tender and so well seasoned. The crispy pork gyoza are, in fact, crispy fried dumplings; they were seasoned very nicely. And the broth was incredible; dense, and richly seasoned.

Although I'd been disappointed, somewhat, with their Chinese food, on my two previous visits (having been a 30 year regular at Chinese Tea Garden), as they're in the neighborhood, I decided to give them a try with something other than; I'm glad I did...

They, really, need to redecorate, as the, short-lived, Baby Cajun Saint decor ain't workin'. I'd love to see some of those classic Chinese Tea Garden paintings and calligraphy on the walls.“

“The Chef was absolutely amazing and so personable. He selected and made the best dishes for me and my husband to try. It was a new experience for me, but I am so thankful I made the reservation. I would definitely go again. 10/10 experience!!“

“This place is phenomenal! I couldn't believe how fresh and delicious this sushi is. I decided to pop in and grab a quick bite before meeting some friends. The owner is such a nice fellow. Everything was so clean and fresh! The sushi was so delicious I didn't want to put any sauce on it. Lol. The soy sauce was solid quality and the spicy mayo had just the right amount of kick. Top notch and I will definitely be back! I ordered the crab stick roll and tuna roll.“

“The whole experience was amazing!! Great food and wonderful service!!“

“Easily one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in a long time. The fish was incredibly fresh—every piece melted in your mouth and was clearly prepared with care and precision.

What really stood out beyond the food was the service. The staff paid close attention to every detail, and you can tell they truly take pride in what they do. It made the entire experience feel thoughtful and elevated.

Ashley was our server and absolutely made the night. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable—her presence alone made the experience worthwhile. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great place to eat with kids!“

“If you love fresh sushi, huge variety, and great prices, look no further! The salmon sashimi is delectable! I highly recommend the scallop sushi, the spicy miso soup, the green mussels, and the gyoza! To die for! The beer variety is also another huge pro! Ask for Yishu! She’s amazing! :)“

“OUTSTANDING food and service. Every bite was the perfect bite. do your taste buds a favor and go to Hushun NOW!“

“A day out with the kiddos, my eldest suggested Haiku and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The atmosphere was nice, waitress was extremely attentive, clean restrooms and we were able to enjoy a few parades literally blocks away. Definitely 5🌟“

“Alright Hina Hut!! We ordered sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken. The sweet and sour sauce is awesome! There have been some positive changes since we last ordered from Hina Hut! Chicken was great! They are boiling seafood now. Crawfish, sausage and corn were seasoned well! We had a pick up order and then bought some of the boiled stuff too!“

“such good food and friendly people“
