Reviews
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 delivers from start to finish. Truly the newest gem to be added to the eclectic collection of New Orleans cuisine.

We started off with the shishito peppers and eggplant dip. Peppers were not as spicy as I hoped (I typically love the burn!), but the ponzu sauce and bonito were nice tangy, salty additions to the peppers. The eggplant dip was surprisingly light with a sweet/salty taste. Lovely soft texture with a nice airy crunch from the rice paper chips.
We came towards the end of the night, so the tuna cripy rice was actually topped off with salmon. Outer rice was chewy but soft on the inside as was the salmon. It’s more on the sweet side since it’s topped with eel sauce; personally I would rather a ponzu based sauce since the overall texture was soft but it was still delicious.
For the raw items, we got toro sushi, Hokkaido uni sushi, and amberjack crudo. The crudo is a MUST! That herbaceous oil, the two-day aged fish, the fresh tomatoes! Highlight of the meal! The toro was buttery, fatty, topped with wasabi-green onion (just the rigth of wasabi to cut balance the richness).
We also got the Earl Gray teacake, which the server told us is made in-house! The tea flavor is strong and you can even see the specks of tea in the cake. A lovely, fragrant end to a delicous meal!
The best, exotic fish prepared by someone with a deft hand.
Chefs who take pride and have respect for what they do.
Unbelievable service.
Cannot recommend this place enough.
My favorite sushi restaurant in the state. You need to go.
