This restaurant is completely unable to accept constructive criticism. They attack you when you say anything negative in a review. They are pretentious and overpriced. They’ll tell you the quality of their sushi is good enough to cost more than your rent. They’ll tell you that you are used to trash sushi and they’re better. Their (all white )staff will tell you that whatever you’ve had is not as good as theirs. Oh,so you’re better than the actual Japanese people that have prepared it for me? Yes, the food tasted good. Were the three bites of sushi worth $30? No. Absolutely not. And whoever responds to their reviews needs to learn to stop attacking people. Your restaurant will not last when you alienate people. There are plenty of other options in New Orleans.

I recently moved to the neighborhood and love this place! I lived in Japan in my 20’s and feel that the intention behind the food, the esthetics, and the service is in the spirit of Japan, but with a relaxed Nola vibe. It’s very clear that the ingredients are top notch and that this place is a labor of love. The potato salad is one of the best I’ve ever had and the rolls are creative and delicious. The sake menu is extensive and the fish tastes like it was caught that morning. Perfect for these sweltering summer days.

Not satisfied. There are five items on the actual sushi menu and one is tuna, one is crab and the rest NO Fish and you get ONE roll for about 15 to 20 dollars. I ended up ordering sashimi which you see pictured. Please be aware- actual size in all photos being reviewed appear much larger than the actual size and to be honest is a slap in the face once you are presented with reality. Miso soup not included- this is standard. I felt cheated as the meal seems more like an appetizer for a toddler. The soy sauce was in a spray bottle. This place is a rip off, staff is friendly but not worth the money. 2 sushi preparers within a minute asked if we wanted more food- wow! why would we after the extremely disproportionate amount of food being served for the price? Oh and payment system is cashless and gratuity is automatically added. Again staff is friendly but please consider the portions wouldn’t even be filling up a “bird” eater like myself. I am also disappointed in the defensiveness coming across in actual constructive feedback from your customers in other google reviews. Please listen to your customers that are trying to help you as we know you can deliver more value to those that deserve more than a 20 dollar bite of your delicious food.

I had an amazing time at Sukeban! They had an awesome selection of sashimi that evening and tried all of 3…scallop, king salmon and tuna. I tried a handful of temaki my favorites being the shiitake (don’t sleep on this one), lobster and the uni and ikura. Also don’t miss out on the rice bowls! You can get any sashimi or add on’s on top of their amazing rice. I ordered a rice bowl with uni and Osetra caviar and it was out of this world. Chef Jackie and her crew were hospitable and created a fun atmosphere! I already started a list of items I want to eat again and new items to try when I come back to Sukeban!

Cannot say enough good things about this first experience, nostalgic from my time in Japan— with the clean aesthetic, fresh uni, and fantastic service. A joy, and hidden gem on Oak Street.

A wonderful experience and summed up in one word, “fresh”. The potato salad, cabbage salad, blue fin sashimi, hand rolls, saké, and dessert were all top notch. Incredible flavors in everything we tried. Thank You for the delights, we’ll be back.

Sukeban is a true gem in New Orleans and is not your run of the mill sushi place! It’s the Michelin star of Japanese dining in NOLA with the freshest, high quality seafood you can find in the city! I can’t recommend this place enough if you want amazing Temaki and great service by the amazing staff! If you are looking for $5 california rolls … this ain’t the place!

Very good and very fresh! Hand rolls aren’t are usual but these were top notch. Better than what we have had in Los Angeles and Houston. The sashimi was very fresh. My husband and I look forward to returning!

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, exceptional food, and an excellent drink selection. This is just what Oak Street needed!!! I have been to many Japanese food restaurants all over US and overseas. I highly recommend it. The salmon sashimi w/ ikura was out of this world. We will be back
