30 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…“

“I did a reservation for the private karaoke room for my birthday and LOVED IT. The food was good, the drinks were honestly cheap if you get the bottles. The experience was unforgettable (even after a few too many drinks), and the service was very nice. We were a group of 8 and our bill came out to close to $475. And that was after no less than 6 bottles and about 4 cocktails. The party menu is a great deal. I cannot recommend doing the private rooms enough. So fun!“

“Asahi is hands-down my favorite sushi spots — truly a hidden gem. Everything is always fresh, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. Their rolls are perfectly balanced (not overloaded with rice), and the fish tastes clean, high-quality, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

The service is warm and attentive, and the restaurant has that cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. Whether I’m grabbing a quick dinner or taking friends, Asahi never disappoints. If you love sushi, this place is a must — I’ll be coming back again and again!“
