We did the omakase for 7 people for a special occasion. Definitely the best meal I have ever had and our whole party was blown away by the quality and artistry. The chefs were so fun and explained things so well. The waitstaff were also very knowledgeable about the drinks and food and went out of their way for us. The restaurant’s ambience is excellent and it’s connected to the international house hotel which is gorgeous (go see the Banksys in the lobby!) Having done 2 other 10+ course fine dining experiences I definitely think this was worth the price. Add-ons you can choose include sake pairing ($70 for 4 large pours) as well as various food things like caviar service. The members of our party who did the sake pairing felt it was absolutely worth the cost as well. There was also a special dessert surprise at the end which we didn’t expect! We are all absolutely dying to do this again, hopefully someday soon!

What a wonderful meal! We were able to enjoy the omakase - which was absolutely delicious. And the matcha pistachio beignets were a magical way to end the meal! Definitely coming back for a visit soon!

This was such an amazing experience with Chef Tu and Vu. They were both so knowledgeable and each piece of fish just kept getting better and better. They paired everything so perfectly and each piece was delicious! We would definitely come back if we are in town.

Best sushi in New Orleans, owner walks table to table to ask everyone how their dining experience was/is. Rare to see that nowadays.
