It was a pretty busy night! The wait staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the food! My friends were doing Keto at the time and every question we had was answered without hesitation! Highly recommend.

Yummy lunch!

By far the best hibachi experience ever. The service was amazing. The hostess gave use rice because my daughter woke up cranky from her nap, I never seen a hibachi place give SOOO MUCH FOOD! They give noodles & rice with the dinner meals. The way the hibachi was seasoned was better than I've had.

Absolutely fun, fantastic, filling food. Our chief was funny, friendly, entertaining and energetic. The show he put on was so much fun and interactive. Our food was cooked to perfection and we each had enough for an extra meal with our leftovers. Try this one. You wont regret it.

This was a quick lunch trip for my daughters and myself. We did not sit at the hibachi, but the food was GREAT! We ordered off the lunch menu and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was and the amount of food for the price was satisifing as well. My only reason for giving 4 out of 5 stars, is because our server did not speak very well and was difficult to understand!!

Most of the Sushi places in Houma are kind of blend in together. This one is no better and is probably worse than the others. Some of my friends love the place, but to me it is the same food at a slightly higher cost and wait. Our party waited over an hour one time, which is long for sushi in Houma. I would have been just as happy going two doors down for the same food and a similar price. But it wasn't bad. We had hibachi until the wee hours of the night.

This was my first time dinning here. The service was amazing. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was friendly: asked us if we had questions about the menu, wasn't overbearing at all, had amazing timing in bringing out the salad & soup, then main course and offering drink refills. The food was really good and the presentation was beautiful. The sushi was tasty, as was the ginger dressing on the salad. I have been to three of the sushi places in Houma and this one is by far my new favorite.

Back to Front - Sweet Heart, Godzilla and American Dream rolls

Not bad, not great. Wish I could pick 3.5 stars. Service : 5/5 Very attentive, friendly and genuine. Can tell it's a family run establishment and makes the atmosphere comfortable I didn't finish everything and took the rest to go where the waiter offered to box it up for me. Returned to hotel room and wanted a snack and was impressed by care and presentation here as well (see picture) Decor :Pretty typical per your sushi/hibachi establishment. Nice and clean. Food: 3.5/5 Nothing here will blow your mind. Prices are higher than some but portions completely match the price, very sizeable rolls. Ordered 3 rolls (Sweet Heart, Godzilla, American Dream) Didn't realize I ordered so much fried so not as colorful. Presentation was fine (see picture) , taste wise each was unique, however fish a tad chewy and not as fresh, eel in the one roll was bland. Overall, not bad. While I plan to try the others in the area on my return visit they have set the bar and possible no others may pan out and I will return to Ichiban as my go-to when in town.

Poke bowl with my selected options (spring mix, cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, snow crab,nori, sesame seeds, wontons, jalapeño)

Worth the drive. Food was on point and the service was excellent…read more Went for my Daughters 13th bday and had a vey pleasant experience. Fed 4 people with apps, soups, salads and specialty rolls. all sub a Benjamin. And we had togo boxes! They give fried wontons and sauce when you sit. Went through them faster than EL Taco shop chips and salsa. They were definitely a huge hit with everyone. We had a Bento Box that was filled with yummy tempura veggies and the specialty rolls were delicious. I had the Cowboy roll and they added masago (sp) and crunchies to it for me. The server overheard us talking about being her birthday and the owner brought out a plate of sweet treats for desert. Definitely worth coming back!

I've tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt multiple times as it's close and affordable…read more- but today's experience was awful. The sushi is 6/10. Not terrible. But not great either. Fish and other raw food is kept at room temperature which isn't always a welcoming notion. This was my fifth visit. Four of five visits had screaming infants and children's YouTube videos blaring in the background. NOT a restaurant for peace and quiet. When ordering a roll, I was offered the choice of soy or seaweed wrap. I opted for soy and my roll arrived a couple minutes later. The sushi itself wasn't bad, but again the bombardment of an infant screaming and YouTube programming really detracted from the experience. I'm uncertain as to why some parents believe their three month old would benefit from a raw fish experience. Unfortunately come time to pay, I noticed a little extra than advertised on my bill - an up charge for soy paper. Now small amounts aren't normally a big concern - provided the customer is notified of an upcharge fee when ordering. Not only was I not told, but it's not mentioned anywhere on the menu. When I inquired about it, my server was kind enough to take it off the bill. However, he then proceeded to argue that "generally people just should know that it costs more" and "nobody really says anything". Look - it's a matter of principle. The cost of doing business is what it is. But TELL people you're going to charge them extra. DON'T sneak it on to the bill and assume everyone knows. That's a shady nickel-and-diming tactic that will eventually get noticed. And don't try to defend it when you're caught red handed.

*UPDATE* After writing the review below and a more trips to…read moreKampachi, we realized we only had these issues when we had one specific waitress. It got to the point that we would call ahead of time and ask if she was working, and if so, we'd go somewhere else. After a few more weeks it seemed like she was no longer employeed there and since then we haven't had any issues with the food or service. Kampachi is definitely are favorite restaurant in the Thibodaux/Houma area. *ORIGINAL* We've been to Kampachi a few times and enjoyed the food although with a simple improvement, the food could be really really good. My problem comes in the service. Once the food is prepared, it sits at the sushi counter until the waitress finally notices it's ready and decides to bring it to the table. There doesn't seem to be anyone expediting or letting the waitstaff know the order is ready. It's not unusual for our crab salad, rolls and fried foods to sit, slowly dying, on the sushi counter for over 10 minutes while our waitress meanders around the restaurant. If the restaurant is busy, I could understand, but at times we were 1 of 3 couples in the entire place and our food just sat there. Getting a timely drink refill is also rare, even when we can see our waitress standing around doing nothing. With a simple improvement in service, they can become the best sushi place in the area.

Thibodaux is a small town. For them to have a place like Kampachi, putting out very fresh quality…read moresushi is impressive. Of course my favorite is salmon, so you'll see more of that in my picture. However, they offer a wide variety of rolls.
