Sukeban, named after the leader of Tokyo's lady gangs of the '70s and '80s, is a Japanese izakaya located on Oak in New Orleans. The restaurant is known for its fresh take on Japanese cuisine, focusing on temaki handrolls and local seafood. Chef Jackie, the culinary boss, offers numerous raw fish options, all delicately seasoned and simply plated, as well as non-meat options for vegan and vegetarian customers.
The restaurant's signature blue crab temaki is a customer favorite, and the veggie temaki has won a vegan sushi award. The menu also includes unique takes on classic dishes, such as the savory ohitashi and the unique potato salad.
The ambience of Sukeban is described as a hip little space, with a seating issue at the sushi bar due to the small size of the bar stools and their proximity to the counter. However, the table service is said to be excellent, with attentive and fun staff.
The restaurant's prices reflect the premium quality of the ingredients, and some customers have noted the inclusion of an 18% gratuity in the menu. Overall, Sukeban is considered a gem of a restaurant, providing exquisite Michelin star level cuisine in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
