Let me start by saying the service was excellent. The food was tasty, but the Omakase felt very repetitive and much of the same rather than a diverse tasting that one usually expects for an Omakase. For the price point, the atmosphere is not appropriate. The space feels bare and disjointed, as though it hasn’t fully decided what it wants to be. There are chandeliers paired with rustic wooden tables that don’t quite align, and servers wearing workout attire and sneakers, which further adds to the lack of cohesion. The artwork itself was interesting, but it didn’t match the overall vibe, which unfortunately made it read more like inexpensive prints than intentional design. The absence of music and the very bright lighting made the dinner setting feel unfinished rather than curated. While the food is strong, the overall aesthetic and ambiance need significant attention to match the cost of the experience. Our dinner for two not including tip was $258. I definitely expect way more in terms of ambience for that price point. They seriously need to call in a consultant to help them with restaurant design / aesthetic if they want to stay open.

We had so much fun here. There were five of us and it was an absolutely wonderful way to spend an evening. Much of the success of our outing was nice to Melanie, our server. She was so delightful and helpful and had a great sense of humor. She was very helpful and helping us pick out our food as well as our drinks. Service was extremely prompt. We are all sushi eaters and have had a lot of experience all around the world and feel that this was an exceptional outing for us. The sushi was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is decorated well. I would definitely come back here again when I am in town highly recommend, ask for Melanie.

I was thrilled by my experience here. The atmosphere was fun, but not too loud like other sushi spots in New Orleans. I believe this sushi spot is the only one of its kind in the city, with a quality of excellence into every bite. I’d like to think of myself as a sushi connoisseur as I’ve been to hundreds of sushi spots and hundreds of omakase experiences - this one showcased where the fish was from which I appreciated and the chef gave a great description of each bite to each guest. The chef that night was so cute & bubbly. I could tell the employees were happy & liked where they worked. The flavor of each piece was exquisite. I think for the price we paid it was well worth it and went beyond expectations. If you want high quality experience and high quality flavor for sushi in New Orleans, this is a must go 🤍

Tried the omakasi. It was exceptional. Little pricy but that was expected. They have five Japanese beers. Try them in order. The fifth beer has fish flakes in the ingredients.

This place is the bomb. It's probably the best omakase I have had outside of Japan. Amazing sushi with local flavors makes it a unique experience. The talent of Chef Tu, along with his awesome personality and mastery of combining the fish with local and traditional flavors, is not to be missed. This has become one of our favorite omakase restaurants in the world. The entire team was excellent and a shout out to Gabriel. We will definitely be back.
