“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 :)“

“Great service. One of the three servers at my table even suggested the order for the next time. Cozy and small dark wooden atmosphere. On special, fresh from Japan, grade A Uni. I wonder almost whether I’m supposed to tell everyone about this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered from Uber eats, didn't have high expectations but it was amazing!! The sushi rice was perfect! The rolls were fresco and delicious and they got or order completely correct!!“

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

“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.“

“amazing“

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

“I would highly recommend Fusion Cafe. Excellent food and service. The prices are very reasonable.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“wonderful Cafe with delicious food 👏“

“Food is great and not too expensive! We’ve been eating here on Saturdays for lunch for a few years and haven’t ever had a bad experience with staff and the menu has a lot of options for people who don’t want to eat raw sushi yet. Sashimi is very delicious!

Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking spots are all right next to the ramp. Ramp isn’t far from the door. Sushi bar only has stair access, but they give you a sushi menu.“

“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“

“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!)“

“SO happy to have the outstanding sushi place in my neighborhood now. We've only gotten takeout a few times thus far but have thoroughly enjoyed everything. The seafood salad I had last night was absolute perfection, and we've settled on the caterpillar roll being our collective fave.
I love that even the regular rolls feel special though and if course that it's all fresh as can be. Can't wait to go back and hope to get to be a regular for a long time.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian section lists 9 rolls including one with sweet potato“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious and so fresh! Service was wonderful and food arrived quickly. Will be returning again soon.“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

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

“The food is great and the service is good...provided you don't arrive within an hour of closing. If you do, you will likely be told they are out of rice, fish, water, etc. I waited tables through college and I get that people who come in 10 minutes before a restaurant closes are the worst, but the staff here shuts down seating earlier than anywhere I've ever known. If they truly don't want to conduct business after a certain time, then they should close an hour earlier or simply clearly post a house policy stating no seating past a certain time rather than lie to repeat patrons.“

“I love Unagi and Sushi. It's close to home, very nice service with every table.“

“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!“
