Reviews
The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. The flavors were simply top notch, making it a must-try for sushi lovers.
Tried out Kaiseki, a new Japanese restaurant that recently opened in Kenner. The place has been remodeled slightly, and it already feels more inviting and updated than the previous restaurant that was here. The vibe is warmer and the atmosphere has improved.
The service is excellent — our server was attentive, and the floor manager personally checked in to ask how the food was, which shows real care for customer feedback. We were also given a complimentary tempura sushi bite, which was a nice and tasty welcome.
However, there are a few things worth noting for future diners. The name “Kaiseki” sets high expectations, as it traditionally refers to an elegant, seasonal multi-course Japanese meal. The actual menu here is much more casual, focused on poke bowls, sushi boxes, and appetizers.
Some specific feedback:
The eel box came with only five small slices of eel, thinly layered over rice, plus imitation crab mix — a bit underwhelming for the price.
The chirashi bowl was mostly diced fish with edamame — simple, but not as refined as expected.
The karaage (Japanese fried chicken) was not made in the traditional style — it used a dry batter or possibly panko, rather than the usual starch-based coating (like potato starch), so it lacked the classic karaage texture and flavor.
Note: Hot and cold green tea comes with no refills, which is uncommon in many Japanese spots.
That said, everyone’s taste is different, and this place is still new. While the food might not fully live up to the “Kaiseki” name yet, the team is clearly trying hard, and the service alone makes it worth a visit. I’d encourage others to try it for themselves and give this local business a chance to grow and evolve.
