Do you know of any good sushi restaraunts in the New Orleans area?

Question

I'm looking for some good sushi places in the New Orleans area. I've already heard of a few but I know that their are dozens more that are lesser known. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Let's see, I can tell you the places I like, and I can snootily reply to the other answerers responses.

"Pirulee" did a good job of cutting and pasting addresses.

"Richard J" doesn't know what he is talking about, or what a "5 star" restaurant means. FYI, "Kanpai" on Canal was destroyed by the storm and doesn't look to be reopening anytime soon. Mikimoto is reopened, however, and is a solid place to go, especially for dollar Nigiri.

Now, let's see about the ones "ErikaLea" mentioned. First off, "Hana" is my sushi joint of choice. Not because it is necessarily the best, but it's just my regular place. I live in the area, I always receive great service, the fish is always fresh and cold.

"Shogun" is not my favorite place. I find it to be too much of that "big restaurant" type of place. It is a Japanese restaurant, but not a sushi bar, if you understand me. It's kind of like going to "Copeland's" for "real" New Orleans food. The stuff is there on the menu, but ain't no locals calling it good.

I haven't been to the "Samurai" place, but as far as other martial arts orders go, "Ninja" on Oak used to be good, but has gone very much downhill. I think management is a big part to blame.

Now, for my main two reccomendations. First off, "Sake Cafe". There are several now around town, but the one on Magazine has always provided me with great sushi dining experiences. Granted, it's a little pricier than other places, but I've always had phenomenal meals there. I think some of the more interesting rolls are the "Dragon Roll", the "Uptown Roll", and they make a great "Rainbow Roll"

And last but definitely not least, "Kyoto" on Prytania. There's a second location out on Citrus near Harahan, but I've heard it's just OK. The one on Prytania has great service, cozy atmosphere, and some of the best sushi I've ever had. Get: the "Poki Salad", the Chirashi, and at least one crunchy roll. They put a little spin on some of the traditional, and I think you may have to ask them to cut the rolls into smaller pieces if you like them smaller (I think they cut the rolls into 4-6 pieces instead of 6-8, just ask when you order). But, it is all great.

Happy dining, and let me know how it goes.
