      Best sushi in New Orleans, owner walks table to table to ask everyone how their dining experience was/is. Rare to see that nowadays.

      It was the full experience, even without the omakase. Superior service and educated staff.

      This place is amazing. We had the shrimp, lobster, lamb chops and strawberry stuff beignets. Everything was delicious. The service was first class and the ambience was a very warm lounge feeling. I highly recommend this place.
