“Seiji’s Omakase, Metairie, LA

Gem hidden in plain sight on Causeway in Metairie. Mr. Seiji lends a creative hand on a variety of fish delivered with joy that it is hard to imagine Omakasa anywhere else. The setting is spare and simple tucked behind little Tokyo restaurant on Causeway Boulevard in Metairie. Keep your decor expectations low but the sushi is spectacular - talent that is difficult to hide.

What we ate:
Omakase menu that included a variety of fish Japanese snapper fresh tuna, fatty, tuna, salmon, king, snapper, smoked cod, fish, soup, Tataki, and a lot more.

Just put yourself in Mr. Seiji’s hands and you will have a spectacular experience.

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

“The menu is extensive, the sushi was excellent, the service was excellent, and extremely reasonable. A great place!“

“Very fresh, and tasty food. We live nearby. No wait time, large portions, excellent service. My husband loves ginger dressing, and they let him buy a big container to take home. We had panko crab balls, chicken and shrimp hibachi, and steak teriakki with tempura veggies and shrimp“

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

“This is my go-to spot for sushi in the city. While there are several more premium options for sushi, they come with premium price tags. None of them hold a candle to Origami in terms of value. The menu here is extensive, so it will be easy to find something for everyone in your party. The rolls are pretty standard, but all are good. Their nigiri in particular stands out for being excellent yet being almost half the price of some of the other more hyped sushi locations in the city. Their cocktails are great as well.“

“high quality seafood w/ incredible variety for a good price.
their nigiri sushis are quite large (2x the size of other sushi restaurants) so we eat them in two bites, which feels a bit weird. but their fish is usually very fresh, high quality, and there are so many options to choose from.
i especially recommend the yellowtail, japanese scallop, albacore tuna, and eel nigiri sushis. i also love their salmon skin roll (much simpler than their other rolls and very delicious). sometimes they get really good uni.
there’s no going wrong here, and they also have a large list of very inventive rolls and apps.“

“Sushi and Sashimi creations of exceptional Flavor and Freshness! Cooked items are elevated fare. Yoshi is expert regarding preparation and selection of fresh product. I look forward to each visit! Servers are prompt, knowledgeable and sincere. Thank You, truly Ichiban!“

“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“Wasabi is a place where my and my family eat for 22 years , my kids grow up eating in there , last time I went alone I order Nabeaky Udon ( seafood soup that use to come in a nice ceramic crock with boil egg and a tempura shrimp , I only order it because was my ex wife favor items )
I order the same thing over and over
••••. That stand for 4 star
Start with miso soup ****
Honey wasabi shrimp app. ****
salmon skin salad ••••
2 pc BBQ ELL sushi ••••
And then I change my entree deepi g how I feel, like chix teriyaki, tempura meal / soba noodle with chicken …..
That night I hate at the bar since kids away in collage .. I order the seafood soup mentioned above .. it came out in a ceramic bowl , and not in the crock pot, half of the amount , no shrimp tempura but boil shrimp in it .. the flavor was terrible , I stated to the Owener lady “ this is different , not good ..” she stated well everything cost more now …
How that is the costumer for 22 years fault ?
If you can’t produce any longer take it off the menu , at list replace the meal with something else if I did not like it , take off the bill , after spending a bunch of money a would have expected something .. nothing full bill , tip ,
As an executive chef my self for 30 plus years I would have handle it completely different ..
The food is great , but things like that can make a decades Cistumer dint come back
Thank you“

“🌸 A Zen Culinary Experience at Hana Sushi 🌸
Hana Sushi in New Orleans isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a ritual. For those of us who practice the zen of food Qi, this place is sacred ground. The sushi here honors tradition, crafted with care and intention, not drowned in mayo or molded for mass appeal. If your idea of sushi is sticky rice topped with imitation crab, you might want to look elsewhere.

But if you’re seeking authenticity, depth of flavor, and a quiet reverence for the art of Japanese cuisine, Hana delivers. The atmosphere is calm, the portions generous, and the experience—excellent.

Go slow. Savor each bite. Hana isn’t fast food—it’s food that lasts in memory.“

“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“

“Wow! Chef Matt is the real deal! Every single detail was covered here. Hands down not only the best sushi experience but overall best restaurant experience I’ve had in a longgg time. Chef Matt and his team went above and beyond. I can’t recommend the Kenji Omakase experience enough. Do it, you will not regret it!“

“wonderful Cafe with delicious food 👏“

“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!“

“I came in to place a to go order and the place was swamped with people picking up or trying to eat. Nick was very sweet and attentive to everyone, he offered me water after I was waiting for a few. The food ended up being delicious as well. Definitely will come back to try again!“

“Love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I love asian food and specifically gyudon or beef bowls. This is the worst place to go. The food had absolutely no flavor to it. Extremely disappointed. Go anywhere else.“

“food was decent. our server was nice. the hostesses were cute. 4.5/5 missing .5 for having only unsweetened tea!“

“Shogun is so great restaurant. I love Shrimp tempura appetizer including grilled shrimp. I also love fried rice and rice patties. The manager is so nice and friendly. Service is great and polite.“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal, some of the best sushi I've ever had! But the service was even better! Sat at the bar, and my server was so so friendly and personable! She really made the entire visit!! The star of the show 🫶“

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

“The sushi here is some of the best I've had. The tea was awful, but the food itself was amazing. The house roll is one of the best things I've eaten, and I'm not usually a fan of cream cheese in my sushi rolls. The vegetables were fresh, the BBQ eel hot, and the flavors perfectly balanced.“

“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.“

“Best sushi. Great service at the sushi bar. Of course the female service always to be in such a rush and it's difficult to get a refill on drinks but the food makes it all worthwhile. After visiting several other Sushi local places that recently opened up in Metairie I really appreciate it going back to Uchi sushi. I suggest you ask them to cut the rolls in more pieces as they are huge! Great place to bring the kids. Mine have grown up going there“

“The pork belly was delicious and so was the snowcrab salad! The sushi was super fresh and I was amazed at the prices. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try! The staff was great and the chef came out to check on us with each dish we ordered! I can’t wait to go back! (Plus it’s just up the street from me!)“

“The Tiger roll, edamame and calamari were delicious. Don’t recommend the fried rice. It had raw red onion that just didn’t really fit well. Server was really nice but the ambiance was a little awkward with no music. Perfect if you like a quiet restaurant though!“

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

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

“Great place to eat with kids!“

“Amazing food and great service! Highly recommend!“

“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🌟“

“I ordered a chicken salad, salad, there was a 4.50 upcharge. It was amazing and extra large. We got three servings from it. Delicious with blueberries and strawberries on a bed of lettuce. It was expensive but excellent and very large. My bill with ice tea was about $25.00.“

“Great Sushi 🍣 great people“

“I have really high standards for Japanese food and this place exceeds my expectations. The price is really cheap even though the quality is as good as those high-end Japanese restaurants. Very friendly and accommodating staff. I am a tourist and I already came here several times during my visit to New Orleans. Please try it out 💗“

“such good food and friendly people“

“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!“

“All you can feast, made to order, tasty sushi. Nothing more to express.“
