“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service! Highly recommend!“

“Great place to eat with kids!“

“Extensive Market Knowledge:** Suzan Mchugh extensive market knowledge positions her as a resourceful source for understanding global economic trends. Investors benefit from insights that go beyond the immediate investment landscape, providing a broader perspective.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“wonderful Cafe with delicious food 👏“

“🌸 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.“

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

“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!)“

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

“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!“

“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🌟“
