Nanami is hands-down the best sushi experience in New Orleans. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. Cozy enough for a date night but lively enough for a dinner with friends. The fish is incredibly fresh, each piece passionately prepared with care and skill. I also love that Chef Yuwa brings fish to his menu that you never really see or got a chance to eat in other sushi restaurants in the city, such as the Barracuda or Bonito nigiri. (Even the Kabocha tempura was surprising!) Service is another standout. The staff is friendly and attentive. They’re great at guiding you through the menu if you want recommendations, and everything arrives promptly without ever feeling rushed. Whether you’re a purist or someone who wants a unique sushi experience, Nanami del

Fantastic new sushi restaurant on Magazine. Food is incredibly fresh, and staff are amazing. Strongly recommend the crispy tuna rice appetizer along with the yellowtail crudo. Handrolls are all the rage right now and their yellowtail/jalapeño and spicy tuna ones were fantastic. For rolls, we had the firefly roll which was incredible. We will make this one part of our regular routine!

Amazing place for sushi! I felt like I was back in a cozy sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Fish was amazing and the selection was unique. I went on an adventure trying new things like the monkfish liver and I'm glad I did. It was amazing definitely a must try! Not into sushi the wings were not just great but a new wing experience.

Excellent!! Small and quaint but great menu!! Food and service were wonderful!! Could eat here everyday!! We tried a few items! Sweet Chicken Soy, Plum and Spicy Mayo Onigiri…all were delicious. Definitely recommend the Miso Yummy Roll !! Tuna Kobachi was fresh and flavorful! Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped here for lunch and it was great. Friendly staff, good service. The food was delicious, large variety of really fresh sushi with some choices you don’t often find in this area. And the price was fair for the quality of the food. Loved it!
