    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.

    The food and service were both exceptional. We really enjoyed interacting with the chefs and having the different dishes explained to us as they were served. The cocktail menu was also fantastic. The Hibiscus Haze was my favorite. We will definitely be back!

    This was our second time coming to Kenji for the Omakase experience. The first experience was fantastic which is why we went back and this time we brought a friend from out of town to try it. We didn’t find the quality of the seafood near as good as good as our first time. One in our party got a hard piece of Cartledge in his bite and another person next to us spit out a piece of fish because it was chewy. There were a few bites including toro which I normally Iove that were a bit fishy tasting which means may not have been fresh while there were others that were really fabulous such as seabream. But for the price we paid I would expect consistency in quality and freshness and I am sad that our second experience was such a disappointment compared to our first. Especially since we brought a friend and raved about it the first time. Needless to say we will not be returning.
