I found this restaurant by searching for the best sushi in NOLA. Just to be clear I am not opposed to fusion, but the non-traditional flavors being paired with the raw fish completely overpowered the flavor of the fish. They were obviously proud of the quality of their fish, even telling us that one of the offerings came from the Tokyo fish market, but it might as well have been supermarket quality fish as you couldn’t taste the fish under the flavors that were put on top. One example was the beautiful blue run tuna, that was topped with a pesto so strong you might as well have been eating tilapia. All of the seared offerings tasted like butane, something I find to be a common issue, which I believe comes from holding the torch too close to the fish. We ordered a Nama (unpasteurized) sake, which the server basically told us was disgusting, We loved it and ordered another can, when we were told they didn’t have anymore. I truly believe the intent of the Chef/restaurant was in the right place, it was just executed in an in refined way. I must also confess that we are definitely serious sushi connoisseurs and have eaten at most of the best omakase sushi restaurants in NYC and San Francisco, so our bar is set pretty high. We don’t live near the coast, so whenever we are near the coast we seek out sushi and this experience was a literal F-.

This place was phenomenal! Amazing Omakase experience, every dish was the ultimate umami flavor bomb. Presentation was stunning. We opted for the sake pairing which I would highly recommend to anyone doing their Omakase menu. The service was top notch. The chefs were a pleasure to watch and interact with! I cannot wait to come back.

This is our second visit to Yo Nashi. The food is amazing! We had to come back after a wonderful experience last year. The food and service were just as good as we remember. While it is an expensive meal, fully worth it and hope to come back every time we are in New Orleans.

Yo Nashi restaurant is an absolute culinary gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone eager to explore new flavors. My experience during the omakase dinner was nothing short of extraordinary. Each course introduced me to a diverse array of tastes, pushing the boundaries of my palate in the most delightful way. The fifth course, featuring sushi, was a revelation. The flavors were so varied and expertly crafted that I marveled at the intricate taste combinations. I never thought human taste buds could discern such nuances. Apart from the exquisite cuisine, the service at Yo Nashi was impeccable. Dishes were promptly cleared, and our meal flowed seamlessly without any interruptions, allowing for uninterrupted conversations. The staff's attentiveness added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The restaurant's atmosphere further enhanced the intimate dining experience. The ambiance was perfectly conducive to savoring the unique culinary journey, making it an ideal setting for special occasions. I celebrated my best friend's birthday there, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. I did not enjoy the fish entree as much as the other courses. The A5 Wagyu might be a better option for a $55 up-charge but it was still a five star experience.

So, you’re here in Nola. You’ve had your fill of rich spicy cuisine and find yourself torn between the amazing complexity of Cajun/Nola cuisine and the need for a clean reprieve. This is the perfect balance of the two for a most distinguished palate. Mack has combined complicity and freshness we crave in flavor without sacrificing the intense and varied notes in each omakse dish served. I recommend tbe cocktail “burning down the house” for a mildly spicy margarita-esk on the rocks apéritif and the aged Japanese whiskey flight 12yr+. I thank the crew for their contributions of creativity that make the menu so exquisite and complex. You are the future of modern & tradition. If you choose this restaurant, you are fortunate to dine here. Thank you all. Grateful, Matt and Laura Austin,Texas - Sitka, Alaska

Food was very good, portions were very small, even the "large" plates. Sent back a dish for the omakase and didn't recieve anything to make up for it. Menu was very limitted. Sushi was sitting on the bar while waiting for other items to come out and was warm by the time I got to eat it, all for the sake of presentation.

If you are a diner that does not feel comfy letting the chef choose your experience, this may not be the place for you. The food was beautifully presented and tasty, but there was not great service or responsiveness when a patron wanted to go off the pre programmed menu

One of the most exquisite sushi restaurants in New Orleans. While this city has quite a number of decent sushi restaurants, there are only a small handful that serve this flown-in-daily quality. Highly recommend 👌

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible sushi restaurant and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for an unforgettable culinary experience. The omakase menu here is a true work of art. Each dish is meticulously prepared with the freshest ingredients, resulting in a burst of flavors that left me craving for more. The sushi, in particular, was exceptional - beautifully presented and expertly crafted. But that's not all, there's also a delightful selection of sashimi and a delicious dessert to complete the meal. What truly sets this place apart is the impeccable service. The staff members are knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about what they do. They guided me through the omakase experience, explaining each dish with enthusiasm and ensuring my satisfaction. Overall, dining here was a delightful experience. The combination of exquisite flavors, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service created an atmosphere of pure culinary bliss. If you're a sushi lover or appreciate fine dining, make sure to visit this restaurant and indulge in their extraordinary omakase menu. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

Absolutely awesome experience, for reference Omakase service of this caliber should frankly be more than $100 a person, at $89 this is a steal. The crafted cocktails are very reasonably priced as well. The interactions we had with the Head and Sous chefs were great, very personable and friendly guys. Give Yo nashi a try and try not to set any expectations, we will be back!

Food was very good, a little pricey, but a nice experience. Chef's are wonderful and super talented. As for service, I would have rated higher but I was not liking our host/server pushing the $50 upcharge for the wagyu. Also, we thought the only option was $89 omakase so we did that and gulped that this meal would be costly. Later into our meal, we see a couple sit next to us and ask if there is anther menu- to which they responded yes and then retrieved! OMG I immediately knew that menu was purposely withheld, especially with how the upcharge items were repeatedly suggested to us. The couple said to us they felt embarrassed having to ask. Don't like that. We would have probably would have done omakase anyway but I do not like sneaky tactics.
