      This is the BEST sushi in Louisiana. Trust me; I love trying new sushi restaurants. What an incredible experience my husband and I had at Kenji Omakase. Chef Tu and Chef Vu were friendly, explained each course, and created some of the most flavorful and high-quality sushi my husband and I had ever eaten. The fish they used was delicious and fresh, and the preparation of each course was thoughtfully done. My husband and I each revisited multiple courses after the omakase was finished. It was an excellent place for my husband to spend his birthday, and they even put “Happy Birthday!” with my husband’s name at the top of our menus. I’m so excited to come back.

      From the time you enter the building until the time you leave, you are embraced by the staff and chef with open arms. The meticulous attention to detail, the detailed explanation behind the “why” of every dish served and the seemless connection with both the chef and the staff. Kenji has done an impeccable job at creating an atmosphere that is truly unique.
