Sukeban

maybe i’m biased bc i went for my birthday, but it was truly a 5/5 experience. the staff were so attentive and the food was seriously AMAZING. definitely a pricey place, but a great spot for a special celebration (or if you’re in the mood any other time, all power to you!!) the sides were unexpected stats - both the cabbage and the potato salad. fish was delicious, and they had a special tempura cracker ?? with uni on it, blew my mind

Delightful experience. We had been recommended this lovely spot for quite a while by our foodie friends, have watched their social media of their fresh and unique offerings and when we were looking to expand beyond our regular go to places, they were always booked. To our surprise, they had a 7pm seating for two at the bar and we were excited for the night out. Parking was an ease, right on Oak St and we were greeted with smiles like we had been their before. We lucked out with seats right in front of the prep station to watch a well organized and orchestrated service of not only delicious, but beautiful masterpieces of food art. Every bite was wonderful, watching each roll or small bite made, you just wanted to try that too. The recommendation to start with sashimi and a small bite, then

Disappointing Omakase – Not Worth $130 Came in mentally prepared to be underwhelmed by omakase in New Orleans, but this experience still managed to disappoint in new ways.

The only highlight was the seasonal black sesame ice cream, which I’d recommend ordering à la carte if you must come here. Full breakdown: 1. A miso soup with mushrooms to start—not your usual miso, but still nothing particularly exciting. 2. Marinated tuna, served at room temp. Slightly above average for New Orleans tuna. 3. A local white fish that oddly followed the tuna course. It had a nice oily flavor, reminiscent of Spanish ham, but the portion was minuscule. 4. A bitter vegetab

We loved our meal at Sukeban! Miso soup is always a hit, especially in this cold weather. We tried the salmon, blue crab, and scallop handrolls. Would highly recommend the first two. We were very satisfied with soup and two handrolls per person. Staff are very kind and helpful. The atmosphere is unique and pretty. Lastly, must try the satsuma sorbet!!

Incredible food with specialty ingredients sourced directly from Japan. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Even deceivingly simple dishes like the miso soup and potato salad are delicious. Order the specials and dessert.
