Seiji's

If you are looking for the absolute pinnacle of Japanese dining in the Greater New Orleans area, look no further than Seiji's Omakase in Metairie. I’ll be honest right up front: this is not a cheap night out. It is definitely on the pricey side, but I can say without hesitation that it was absolutely worth the price. You aren't just paying for dinner; you are paying for an experience that rivals top-tier sushi counters in New York or Tokyo. The "Omakase" (chef's choice) format meant we put our trust completely in the Chef, and he did not disappoint. The courses were incredibly unique, far beyond your standard tuna and salmon.

The chef and his staff will let you enjoy a unique experience. Everything will be prepared at the moment and in front of you. Everything was amazing!!! We will definitely come back to try new combinations and to friendly chat with the chef! Please, if you rea

Eaten at most sushi restaurants in NOLA the past 40 years. This was an experience unlike any other. It will transport you to Japan. You quickly realize you've been eating mediocre sushi your whole life up until this point. The price might seem high...it isn't. Truly an experience.

This was incredible! The meal was amazing and the service was excellent and so friendly. We've had multiple omekase experiences including in Japan and this was truly awesome. The 7 course Kaiseki was plenty of food.
