Nanami is hands-down the best sushi experience in New Orleans. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. Cozy enough for a date night but lively enough for a dinner with friends.

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.

Fantastic new sushi restaurant on Magazine. Food is incredibly fresh, and staff are amazing. Strongly recommend the crispy tuna rice appetizer along with the yellowtail crudo. Handrolls are all the rage right now and their yellowtail/jalapeño and spicy tuna ones were fantastic. For rolls, we had the firefly roll which was incredible. We will make this one part of our regular routine!

Amazing place for sushi! I felt like I was back in a cozy sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Fish was amazing and the selection was unique. I went on an adventure trying new things like the monkfish liver and I’m glad I did. It was amazing definitely a must try! Not into sushi the wings were not just great but a new wing experience.

Stopped here for lunch and it was great. Friendly staff, good service. The food was delicious, large variety of really fresh sushi with some choices you don’t often find in this area. And the price was fair for the quality of the food. Loved it!

Nanami’s is the perfect immersion of Japanese food. The fish was so fresh. We were told the owner picks up the fish everyday from the airport. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of prep and presentation. Everything was delicious. I recommend the peppers! If the food isn’t motivation enough to visit, the service is beyond impeccable. The attention to detail and hospitality was one of the best I’ve ever had. Not to mention it is BYOB! I will recommend Nanami’s to all my girlfriends for a fun Girls Night Out!

I’ve been for lunch and for dinner; both times were absolutely delicious and delightful! Service is always A+ and all staff were so attentive and nice about answering any question. Both times I sat at the bar and the chef/owner would periodically ask how things were going with a smile. This place is currently BYOB and I wish I brought sake to toast the wonderful chef!

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!

10/10. I’ve tried just about all the sushi New Orleans has to offer and Nanami comes out on top.

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.
