I ordered chicken hibachi. They literally dive the chicken bad cook it with no seasoning! Like what?? Very disappointed. Especially since they are rated so high on here.

This place has pretty good sushi, but be careful of this google page. I ordered using one of the ordering pages and went in to the restaurant and my order wasn't ready because they don't have those apps. You have to call them to place an order.

I have been to this restaurant several times and it has always been very good. The food is super fresh and tasty. The staff is helpful. The food comes in a timely manner. I will definitely return

No complaints - food was good, service was friendly. We'll be back! Tucked away in the shopping center so not easily seen from the street.

Delicious, fresh sushi at very reasonable prices. The fried tempura is also great!

Used to be one of my favorite sushi restaurants, but over the past year and a half it's really gone down hill. My order is constantly wrong - over the past 6 orders only 1 has been correct. One time I ordered the Spicy Tuna Rainbow roll and I asked them to make sure the avocado was included, because they left it off last time, and they charged me for the avocado even though it's included in the roll and listed on the menu in the roll description. We also ordered hibachi and the white rice was missing. It's just too stressful having to check every order and make sure it's correct.

Bland food.Food has aftertaste of being frozen.As close to non-authentic hibatchi style food as it getsThis place is an insult to japanTiny portion sizesSoup with no flavorUnseasoned chickenHibatchi style Rice was almost white indicating the tiniest amount of seasoning was used or none at all.I paid 30$ for dog food

Pretty consistently great sushi, and I'd go as far as to say some of the best sushi I've had in New Orleans. The cucumber sashimi roll is something I get every time, and so far with switching it up with different rolls, I haven't been disappointed yet. The service can be a little slow, but you can literally see them working their butts off to fulfill their phone orders. I did take off one star because there have been occasions when I show up at the promised time and have had to wait and additional 20-45 mins, which is a little ridiculous if a time is given. I've learned to mitigate this disappointment by showing up about 15 mins later than they've promised.
Price on the menu and actual price is differentThe menu have not updated the price and To Go menu is so dirty. I ordered Bento Box and sushi with salmon. On the menu $16.50 they charge me $17.50 I noticed after charged my credit card Emplouee or owner did not apology for wrong price and just said price went up with. Not politely....

Good amount of food for the price. They give you togo sauces without having to ask for them which is a 5-star in my book.

It's OK. Not the greatest, but also not the worst. Disclaimer: Keep in mind that I am a very hard grader. I have traveled & tasted many different foods to street food, formal dining, mom pop shops, you name it. I understood after some time the culture of food. Indeed I am a cultured man.( not tooting my own horn) the reason I say this, there are those out there that do not understand food but only to criticize based on the food not tasting to their own tastes. Establishments & cooks have an idea of how their food should taste & to be enjoyed. Then there are foods that should be enjoyed as from their origins, not to he recreated and blaspheme to bits mixing it with odds & ends. If you are like this then please do not read any further as my reviews are objective (true facts and data) & not subjective (personal emotions). There are already too many opinions in the world, do not add & trash it further with anymore nonsense. I don't eat out a lot and usually able to create what establishments make right at home. BUT I am willing to support local businesses & give them a shot. No discriminating against anything PERIOD. I come there for the food, service, and hospitality. Covid disclaimer: Covid or not, goods & services should be at optimal performance or if not, better due to the increase of attention to detail. "Covid charges" are a huge ripoff and BS. Stop using excuses to charge people more for no reason. It's pandemic, everybody is hurting & hiring. Location: Place was very hard to get to... end of Gen de Gaulle. Tucked at the end of the shopping strip. ORLEANS PARISH.. nothing more to say there, just be careful of driving as there's no law in Orleans parish with speeding or crime. Other than that, if you live near there then it's absolutely great instead of going far, but not good for those seeking out newer places to try. Dine-in: Quiet atmosphere, dim lit, ambient type of setting. Place was CLEAN & did not have an odor. Waiter was friendly, quick to take orders. If there were questions they were quick to have an answer. Prices: Prices were FAIR. Eveything I studied on the menus were fairly priced vs food ratio. Too many times there are instances where the establishment take advantage & gouge the prices. Here they are fair. If there are changes they let you know IN ADVANCE before you order & get a surprise to the check you were not anticipating. ROLLS: The rolls were wrapped tightly, and fillings were of adequate amount. Nothing was falling out. No thing out of the ordinary, just typical rolls. (And yes, you can f*** it up. I have seen the horror & it wasn't pretty). Each individual roll had its own flavor. If you have been to many other different places, some of them will make everything taste the same.. with same toppings same ponzu or mayo sauce.. ridiculous. If I wanted that I would go to a buffet and have it there. Here, they did a proper job of making them have their own individual taste. Taste-wise : I would have to say it's ok. (Each person has an idea of how it would taste..) Not terrible nor did I achieve a breakthrough epiphany and saw nirvana. When done eating, you will get a feeling of fullness but not satisfying. In a sense, there was a sweetspot that was left to be desired. Texture: The rolls were soft. Fillings were indeed fresh and not pre prepped. (Absolute no-no for sushi restaurants, only some items that need refrigeration and serious prep times). Some places overcook or undercooked the sushi rice or wet the seaweed wrap to the point of disintegration. Enough "binding" (lookup if you need to know when making sushi) was used when wrapping rolls. Sashimi was soft & firm holding its natural characteristics, but of lower quality than other places that source out higher tier ingredients = hence the fair pricing. Flavor overall from sashimi was adequate. Overall: If you wanted to get lunch and needed this fix. No problem it's the right place for you. Final disclaimer: This review was accurate

My go to sushi spot when I'm craving sushi super close on the Westbank. The service is great, and owners are very nice. On the outside, this place may seem a little sketchy, but it's definitely a hole in the wall for me. I usually order the baked green muscles, LSU roll/Okinawa roll, some small basic rolls, and the poppers. I've dined in very few times, it's usually less than half full, so take out is my go to. The fish is great, sauces are paired very well with their rolls and they have never gotten my order wrong. Support your local businesses!
ALWAYS great sushi! Staff is very personable.
