Uchi Sushi Hibachi - Metairie

I just recently started to regularly go to this place, and I must say that it is by far my favorite sushi spot in the larger new Orleans area. excellent eating, great staff, simply tasted on the ol' book as it costs more that they spend. as long as this place remains open, it will be my place for delicious sushi.

My family has been eating at Uchi Sushi since it opened, and Johnny has only improved the quality of the food and service in that time! This is our favorite sushi spot despite the competition in the area. Highly recommended!Highly recommended for sushi, hibachi, and lunch.

Their Hawaiian role is to die for, as well as any of their sushi rolls. Their hibachi is also good but Jonny (the owner) is a better chef than the others. They only have one hibachi chef at a time so if you go and there’s already a hibachi table waiting for a chef, expect to be there for hours.

Let me begin by saying that the review is for horrible service not bad food!!! The food was actually so good that after my coworkers shared hers with me I decided to come and check the place out for myself. Well I went in around 130-145 on a weekday, didn’t appear busy. Since I don’t get a long lunch, what faster then sushi. I was not greeted and after standing there (first time wasn’t sure if I seated myself) I asked if I can sit at bar. Both the lady who told me yes and another went on about there business. One cleaning off soy bottles the other wiping down clean tables at this point I was there for over 20 min and ready to go, I got her attention and explained in the most polite manner that I could I was ready to order that I had less then 30 min left for lunch but I was eating sushi there. I ordered she brings my food to go. I was still waiting on my other food so I started opening my box, I asked for a sauce, which she literally slammed. She yelled didn’t you say it was to go and walks off. Which I clearly mentioned I was eating there. She comes back with my other order and slams the check throws my sauce in the sink (which I wasn’t finished) after that behavior I signed tipped n left) didn’t even finish my sushi. So rude! Never felt so disrespected in my life! I waited a few days to cool off so that my review wouldn’t be bias and despite loving the food… I doubt I’ll be back. Sad really!

This is my go-to sushi spot in the New Orleans area! I’m pretty picky about sushi but this place always seems to get it right. The sushi chefs are skilled and friendly. It can get pretty busy but it’s worth the wait.
