Joy On Decatur

by nummytreat

Having heard good things about the place, my boyfriend and I made a point of stopping in for lunch last month. We were not disappointed!

It's always a little touch and go when you try a new sushi place, so we hedged our bets, ordered some sashimi, tried a couple of familiar rolls and splashed out on a few that are unique to Sekisui.

Everything was freshly made with quality ingredients but the standout of the meal was the Decatur Roll. With grilled tuna outside, chilled crawfish and other yumminess inside, it was tasty and inventive - spicy, salty, crunchy, tender and sweet all at once. Much joy!

The service at Sekisui is pleasant and efficient. We felt neither rushed nor ignored, which is nice when you're lingering over lunch. All in all, Sekisui is a great delivery or dine in option. You won’t be disappointed.

• Pros: Uncommon hand rolls, Delivery in the Quarter and CBD

Best Sashimi in New Orleans

by MissEvelyn

Sundays are the worst because so many restaurants are closed, but my family found a place to get great sushi and sashimi at Samurai Sushi. I tried the miso soup, fresh salmon sushi, salmon and yellowtail sashimi, and the fresh salmon and avocado roll. The miso soup was pretty standard, with nothing to complain about. I was thoroughly impressed by the fresh salmon sashimi. It was a good size, and very fresh, with just the right amount of salmon fat. The yellowtail sashimi was also delicious. The fresh salmon and avocado roll was good. It came in 6 small pieces, but was less than $5. Finally, the waitress was very attentive, which makes all the difference.

• Pros: Service, Clean Restroom
• Cons: Parking

I've had sushi from a lot of places all over the US and this is the BEST sushi I have ever had. I would be willing to travel from anywhere in the world to eat there. The service was fantastic the few times I've been there. I LOVE THAT PLACE.

• Pros: It's all good
• Cons: nothing

like a breath of clean air

by noyburger

When I worked in the French Quarter, I used to order delivery from Samurai at least twice/week, without ever stepping a foot into their restaurant. Being in that area recently, I finally dined in and I was in love all over again! The delivery service was excellent from two years ago; now, I am impressed with the swift waitstaff, exotically beautiful rolls, fresh sushi and the spicy shumai that was ejecting from my nostrils. I confidently proclaim: BEST SUSHI in N.O.!

• Pros: Excellent Service, aestically appetizing
• Cons: search for parking
