We stopped in for lunch as we really enjoy their sushi. It's always super fresh. Kumiko waits on us and is the best. This time, since it was cold out, we had hot sake. It was just a large house one but it was really good. Generally I'm not a fan of sake, but it was really good and worth getting again. We had yummy spicy edamame. My husband had the squid salad which he loves and always orders. We had two rolls wrapped in cucumber- Snowcrab Nurito and Tuna Nurito. They were easy to eat and very fresh and delicious. Although I did pick them up to eat with my fingers. Luckily there were no etiquette police around. I can't figure out how to use chopsticks like my husband. I like how they always have a fork with the chopsticks. read more

I came in on a Saturday for a late lunch early dinner. Easy to find parking. I was promptly seated and asked what I wanted to drink. I got the crab rangoons (easily the best I have ever had) and two rolls. A bowl of clear soup was brought over. Everything was perfect. Service was great. Everything was very clean. read more

The sushi is cut in huge pieces. Not much flavor. Service was good. Place is wide open, like siting in a huge gymnasium.

Of all the sushi places in Mandeville this is our favorite. Everything is always fresh and delicious and the owner and staff very friendly. They are also very tolerant of children. There's a variety of items so something for everyone and their particular tastes. read more

Lot of good sushi choices in the area. This one's the family favorite. Great staff too

Food, service, ambience all 5/5. Best sushi I've had in a while. Fresh, unique specialty rolls. Took me while to try because it seems nicer and we have two young kids. I was very wrong and we felt welcome even with the crazy toddler. Will definitely be back! read more

This sushi is very fresh. I like the texture of it and the options that they give you is a lot the soup. The soup was really good and had a great flavor to it as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great fresh sushi. Sat us quickly and the potstickers were hot and crisp. Friendly and nice atmosphere. Really good food all around. My 2 pieces of yellowtail were 2 1/2 inches long by an inch wide. We'll definitely be back. read more

Food 10/10 - so fresh and rolls are original. All flavors blend perfectly with each other. My favorites were the Tiger roll and the special Crunchy roll. Service 10/10 - our server Kaleb is on top of it whether it's refilling drinks, getting the check on time, the attention Ambiance 10/10 - authentic clean feel read more

We have family in Mandeville so we usually visit a couple of times a year. We're always wanting to try new restaurants so decided to try this one. Its located right next door to Cafe du Monde so is easy to find with plenty of parking. The service is very friendly. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. Restaurant looks really nice inside with large mirrors to make the dining area brighter. Two TVs in case you want to watch a game and very accommodating - someone in our party is a Dodgers fan so wanted to watch the World Series so switched one of the TVs even though a Saints game was also on! Nice sushi bar in the back. Very clean overall and modern. Food was all really good. We had curry fries, poke nachos, and an assortment of entrees - I had the sushi combo which I did take a photo of because it was a lot of food and really fresh. Overall we were very happy with the whole experience so will definitely come back when back in the area again! read more

Mata Sushi - Sushi combo - Japanese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Wishing I could have the mix sashimi plate every day of my life and I'm not kidding. Was so delicious, tasted incredibly fresh and the cuts were ideal. Also got takoyaki which was divine. The inside is pretty big with plenty of seating. They were not busy at all when we went which of course was nice but would love to see them thrive! read more

This seems to be a new-ish place. Went for lunch on a week day and wasn't super busy. Service was punctual and the food was good. The preparation and quality of the sushi seemed quite good; I've certainly had much worse sushi in Louisiana. I'm a touch disappointed that they're using foreign crawfish and/or shrimp, but then again, I don't think either are in season right now. And at least they're honest/upfront about it, unlike some places. Overall I'd recommend checking them out. read more

What a glow up this place has gotten!!! It is meticulously clean and beautifully designed. Looks so much bigger inside than it was when it was a ramen restaurant a few months ago! The sushi is beyond compare. The owner had a very well known sushi restaurant on Hwy 59 before, and the quality of the ingredients is very high. If you liked the other restaurant, you'll love Mata! The service is great too! I think you'll see a few familiar faces from the other restaurant! I'll be back! So, so good! read more

Mata Sushi - Tiger Roll! Yum! - Japanese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

I respect the owners, they are very kind; HOWEVER it really is overpriced for mediocre sushi. Also, the ambiance needs some adjusting (imo). It was too spacious and loud, and the place was not even close to full capacity. The lighting was too bright and the mirrors were too distracting. It feels like eating at a loud cafeteria instead of a private space. For that much money I don't want to hear echoes from every other patron in the building. I hope they can get the kinks worked out before long. read more

We are regulars now here and it never disappoints. Mata always delivers fresh and delicious sushi. The service is personal and fast. It is hands down the best sushi spot on the North Shore! read more

We tried this new place with 3 kids in tow. The kids were able to order from a kids menu and from the regular menu. We had a couple of rolls, escolar sashimi, and baked mussels. All were very good. Our server was very helpful and patient with our group and the owner was very friendly and accommodating. The space looks great! We will be back. read more

5 out of 5! The service was exceptional and the food was great! Very clean and a good vibe. Will definitely come back!

We did takeout for three. We have been living on the North Shore for 9 months and this is the first time we had takeout from a restaurant we would have again and again. We had a number of sushi and rolls as well as crab Rangoon and vegetable rolls. Everything was very good. The restaurant was pristine. The server was courteous and helpful. We did not order in advance as we wanted to see the restaurant and the food preparation stations before deciding to order. We recommend Mata Sushi without reservation and look forward to ordering from them again. read more

Joy. That is what I get when I go here. This place has no equal in service and quality of food. If the world would be visited by aliens I would first recommend this as a gathering place to further discuss the new hierarchy. As such is needed since the nation as a whole is all kinds of f*d up. That's why a nice bowl of ramen just hits the spot and allows one's self to simply be carried away and forget the troubles in the world such as taxes and the Epstein files. I hope fortune favors Mata sushi and continues to become profitable and gets the recognition they deserve for their atmosphere, food and kindness. read more

Born and raised on the Northshore, and I never leave reviews, so this is saying something. If you want a life changing experience, do yourself a favor and order the fish nachos. And the Korean wings while you're at it. Service and ambiance were perfect and the sushi was sublime. If you are a frequent sushi goer in Mandeville and Covington, you can add this to your new rotation! read more

This is such a great spot for sushi, especially if you have family. The owner is incredibly kind and so are all the staff. The food is always fresh and they have some very cool items on the menu you can't find anywhere else, like Japanese Curry. My kids love coming because they can get big bowls of noodle soup and look at themselves in the wall to wall mirrors while they color. Whether you want ramen, sushi or something a little different, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more
