The new expanded space of this restaurant is fantastic! Well laid out, very clean and spacious. The owners (I think they may have been) were very hospitable. We had a fairly large party and the server, Maya, was excellent. She was friendly and attentive even while there was a minor delay in getting the entrees. Appetizers and rolls, however, came out very quickly and were incredibly delicious. I'm so excited to have this place in Gentilly! read more

We recently visited for lunch and it was just ok. It's clear they're still working out some of the kinks, but there's definitely potential here. Food (7/10): The standout items for us were the shrimp and the crunchy rolls, both of which were excellent (9/10). The shrimp was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the crunchy rolls were fresh, crispy, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The steak hibachi and hibachi rice were both decent, but lacked flavor (7/10). The noodles were probably the weakest item we tried (5/10). They lacked the flavor and texture we were expecting. Service (8/10): Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The staff seemed eager to make sure guests had a good experience, which we appreciated. Ambiance (8/10): The ambiance was also nice. It was comfortable, inviting and a pleasant place to enjoy lunch. Overall, I'd give them another try--several months from now. I'm optimistic and rooting for them. read more

Good Time Sushi - Crunchy rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I had been looking forward to trying Good Time Sushi & Hibachi for months while waiting for them to open, so I was really excited to finally visit. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered a sushi roll to share as an appetizer along with hibachi dinners. The hibachi chef did a performance, which my dinner partner felt was a bit inappropriate for the table's demographic, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt since they're new and I'm sure that will improve over time. The hibachi food itself was as expected, but the soup was very bland, honestly more like hot water than soup. The biggest issue was the sushi. I can't even speak to the quality because we never received it. By the time the chef finished preparing food for our table, the appetizer still hadn't come out. After trying to get our server's attention multiple times, I finally asked about it. I was told it would be ready soon, but after waiting even longer, it became clear the order hadn't even been started. At that point, a manager came over, apologized, and asked if I still wanted it. I declined, as our meals were already finished. What was most frustrating is that it felt like the order may have been forgotten, and instead of clear communication upfront, we were left waiting and repeatedly checking. I understand this is a new restaurant and there will be growing pains, but better communication and attention to orders would go a long way. I hope they improve, but this visit was not the experience I had been hoping for. read more

We came here at 6:45 pm on a Friday. We got seated immediately and the server was very friendly. We ordered edamame and 3 rolls and they arrived by 7:00 pm. Not much for ambiance (no music and bright lights) but service and food were great! Love having this spot back open and will definitely be coming here frequently! We looooved the volcano roll!! read more

This was my go to place when I lived and worked nearby almost 10 years ago. When my work site moved nearby, I wanted to stop by. But there was a new building and they had not reopened yet. I finally made it back! Still great service and hibachi right in front of you! I got the chicken and steak hibachi and it was a nice little show and a great meal. I can't recommend this high enough. read more

I was really excited to try good time sushi newly renovated place . Good time did not last to long . I waited 40mins for my beginner sushi dinner while my family ate there 2 rolls (volcano, poboy). We ordered at the same time and there was not that many people in the restaurant. I waited so long for my food that I lost interest in eating. I could not enjoy the experience and it was the first time bringing my cousins from out of town . I bragged so much how good time use to be .Now I feel bad cuz the food was ok and the service was not that good. read more

So glad you are back open, best chicken fried rice in the city. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and affordable.

My Wife and I went here for her birthday on September 19, 2026 we were excited to go and when we first entered, we thought it was a beautiful establishment We don't remember the waitress name, but she was nice to us and gave me Chapstick she made that was very nice. We ordered calamari and shrimp with steak and salmon hibachi style they bought out My Wife order on a plate and told us it was a mistake. The chef read the the ticket wrong and thought it was to go so My Wife began to eat and they brought me my noodles with no food. My Wife asked where is my food and they say they were going to fix mine hibachi style while My Wife already began to eat. We waited for about 30 minutes and My Wife said to cancel the order they came out several times giving different explanations. On why the order came out separately they made us pay for My Wife order in my noodles that I didn't eat because my food didn't come out we shouldn't have to pay for anything because they messed up our order, why would My Wife on her birthday sit while I get the special hibachi experience and it was her birthday they could've took something off the order but they didn't they could have took the eight dollar drinks off the order, but they didn't they damn for sure could've took the noodles that I didn't eat off the order because it didn't come with my food, but they did not. We will not revisit this place but the waitress was exceptional read more

I visited on June 6, 2026, during their soft re-launch in the new building. Hibachi tables work well, but the air conditioning still needs some tweaks. It was a bit hot inside. The food was great. We got 2 hibachi lunches and a 2 roll sushi lunch. read more

Really enjoyed the food and service! Great sushi and fun hibachi. Will be coming back with the family.

We got takeout last night, and I almost cried tears of joy when our order was 1. perfectly in order 2. the fish was extremely fresh 3. all fried items were hot, crispy, and delicious. The long awaited return paid off, y'all! Thank God Good Time Sushi is back! read more

Two hours to order and eat two sushi rolls per person is crazy. Let me know when the wait times improve.

Ordered the lunch hibachi chicken and steak without veggies and double rice. Received veggies and no double rice, no yum yum sauce. Spending $45 for a single lunch and missing items, really sucked. read more

Be careful where you eat sushi at.... This place is really expensive! It was $75 before tip for 3 of us to eat lunch there. On top of that my daughter got horribly sick from the sushi she ordered. I ordered the chicken n shrimp hibachi which was $19 alone and took forever to come to the table. It was a surprisingly small portion. I'm used to hibachi being so much food you could split it with another person but this barely filled me up especially since the so called fried rice was inedible. It had a really strange taste and had zero green onions and one microscopic piece of carrot and another microscopic piece of egg and that's it, no lie! Wish I had taken a picture. It was honestly the saddest fried rice I have ever seen. And on top of that it was cold like it had been sitting around for a long time and they never heated it up. Anyways I know they just reopened and I really don't want to blow up their spot but dang they have to do better. After calling them they offered to comp my daughter's meal though, so at least they tried to make it right which is appreciated so take this for what you will. read more

Haven't been here in years. Decided to revisit because I was in the mood for a Rock n Roll, and I also tried their Metairie Roll. Overall the rolls were good. The Metairie Roll had more rice compared to the inside of the roll. The Rock n Roll seem to lack shrimp, when eating the roll I had a lot crunch of the batter. Their eel sauce is different from what I am use to, more lumpy and doesn't pour on smoothly, all in all tasty. In the past I use to get their Crazy Dog Roll, one of their big rolls, that I always enjoyed. I will return in the future to reconnect with that roll. The lady that took my order and checked me out was friendly and welcoming. Currently they are only doing takeout. If you are in the Gentilly area, stop by and give them a try. read more

I've been to this restaurant multiple times, by myself and with friends. Everybody describes it as a hole in the wall. Which is kinda true. The building doesn't look presentable and it is very easy to miss if you don't know where you are going. But you are in for a treat. Their food is very tasty, prices are affordable and service is pretty good too. They do have strange decorations on the walls, like horses or cows (in a sushi place?) . But who cares if the food is good, right? They offer take outs, which I haven't tried before but I'm planning on doing so during crazy busy work weeks. Parking is easy. I've never seen them packed to the point you can't find a parking spot. All in all, good affordable neighborhood restaurant. read more

I've eaten here a few times and the food and service have been consistent, visit to visit. I've ordered from their very reasonably priced lunch menu each time, and am happy with the value and the food. The restaurant is a small, but I've never had to wait for a table. I've noticed that a lot of folks stop by to pick up to go orders. Yesterday I had the lunch roll combo, and the snow crab and tuna rolls were both pretty fresh. My daughter loved her salmon box, and my husband said his fresh fish was O.K. The wait staff is really on top of their game, and it makes for a nice, casual dining experience. read more

We were craving sushi & wanted to dine in. We couldn't find any restaurant in the area that was back to "normal". Most only offered take out or delivery but something said, 'try Good Time'. I was in Harahan & didn't mind the drive to Gentilly so I called & yessssss they had "dine in"... not many tables though as they had to abide by covid regulations but when I arrived there was one table in the corner far from others. We immediately ordered seeing that there were people constantly coming in & out for take out. Everything was good just as I had imagined. I'd ordered one crunchy roll & my daughter ordered the salmon roll. The server brought out 2 orders of crunchy rolls. I kept it & shared it with my mom. She loved it. Oh let me not forget to mention how much I LOVE their hibachi rice & clear soup!!! Yummmmm read more

A local diamond in the rough. Don't judge the book by its cover goes for the building which is an old house converted to a fanatic sushi and more restaurant.

This is my favorite go to lunch spot in our neighborhood! It's a small space but the service is top notch. The food is great and always fresh. We always get sushi and a rice dish!

We happened to be close, so we stopped by just in time for lunch opening. It was surprisingly well set inside and people came in throughout our stay. The place was somewhat inside the neighborhood and had small sign, so you can miss it easily. Okay, for the food, I ordered the teriyaki beef bento box. Others ordered other things off of the lunch special, but all seemed to have some Chinese 'fusion' flavor, while not exactly Japanese, it was okay. Perhaps sushi would have been better, but the chef seemed to put 'extra' umpfh on nigiri. If you're familiar with Japanese, you'll know this. read more

I have recently moved to Gentilly and have been trying to try out all the local spots! Good Time is a great place if you want basic, pedestrian sushi that hits the spot when you have a taste for it. My husband and I have been eating here, ordering the same thing about once a week. We order a Naruto roll (a rice less rolls wrapped in cucumber) and a few other staples. I called and ordered as usual - "Naruto roll, please" Woman on the line - "Snow crab Naruto. Ok, what else..." After getting home with the order, I had gotten a snowcrab roll - not a snowcrab naruto (no rice, wrapped in cucumber). You know that feeling when you make it home and the order is wrong? Waaaaah! I decided to call to see if I could get the order rectified. Expectation: "I am sorry, I must have misheard..Come back by and we'll have it ready" or something to that effect. Reality: The woman blamed me for not ordering correctly (see above, I had) and not correcting her when she read it back (she read it back correctly). Offered to have me come trade the roll in for an upcharge since the roll I actually ordered is more expensive. I was floored at this response. And I will not be back. I'll gladly drive the extra few minutes to another sushi spot for better service and quality. read more

Stopped in here for hibachi yesterday. It wasn't bad. There isn't a show, however. They only have regular tables in the dining area. No hibachi grill. So you order what you want and they bring it out from the kitchen already plated. I wasn't hugely impressed, but it's close to the house, and I may return if I don't feel like going farther away. I miss Calvin at Little Tokyo on N. Carrollton, but he's no longer there, so I'm gonna need to find a new spot. read more

Very convenient if you attend The University of New Orleans. Definitely small inside. There's someone present that prepare the sushi rolls and then there is a little area in the back where they actually make the more hibachi meals or cooked meals. Parking is also small. Again a very small but y wet comfy place. I had the miso soup and the snow crab roll and the avocado roll. Pretty good and fresh might I add. My miso soup was good as well. The service was nice and she answered all my questions that I had about the menu. Nice good price for the quality. Definitely a nice go to area if traveling among Elysian Fields an d you just start feening for Sushi or Miso Soup. read more

Don't let the unassuming location fool you! This is a great sushi place! I had the "Good Time roll" and it was delicious. It it one of those premium-type rolls that are sufficient for a meal for one person, if that person is not sharing. It was like a rainbow roll only there were different colored roes on top and an awesome sauce. The service was good and there is a nice, little sushi bar/counter. The prices are quite reasonable. This is so close to me, I'm sure to be a regular visitor. read more

From the outside this place looks like nothing special, but their food is great! It's near the UNO campus and it's about time this area got a sushi place. I wish this place was here when I used to go to UNO because I would've eaten here every day. I tried a few different rolls as well as the baked salmon appetizer and the hibachi fried rice. Everything was delicious and the prices were great. They have a hibachi menu but they cook everything in the kitchen, not in front of you. The sushi menu is not crazy full of creative rolls but what they do have is done well. I would recommend the Volcano roll! This place just as good or better than most of the other sushi places in new orleans but their prices really stand out here, read more
