    Salmon box sushi

    I picked this up as takeout so I can't speak on the dine in experience. The staff I did encounter were very polite. I ordered the salmon box, it was only $8 before tax and tip. I was pleasantly surprised by their "dressed up" version of a standard salmon box by adding avocado underneath the snow crab and the crunchy seaweed on top. It made it so much more tasty. Plus the pieces of salmon on top were very thick! And it came with the perfect amount of sauce on top as well as along the long edge of the to-go box so you could easily slide each piece thru the sauce before taking a bite :)

    My niece recommended this place her birthday, so we went. Service was good, he kept checking on us which is good. Place did not smell as some others said. Food was great! Ramen, sushi and salads were fresh and came out at a decent time. Try the Tuna Carpaccio.

    Crab Puffs
    Jacey C.

    Visited solo on a Monday evening. The restaurant was quite large but was very clean and inviting. The server was attentive and visited me multiple times. I was impressed how well prepared all the food items were. I tried the crab puffs which were delicious. You receive 5 puffs that are wrapped in thin wonton wrappers. They were much lighter and way less greasy than any other place that I've visited. The vegetable tempera had a tasty, crunchy batter, again, very light as well. Finally I had the chef special Omakase Sushi roll. Wow! The fish was finely sliced and fresh. I admit that it wasn't exactly my cup a tea being as it had both surf and turf I believe (my fault) but I was thoroughly impressed with the flavors. There was a gentle sweetness from the fruit and fruit sauces that paired wonderfully with the punchy house made spicy mayo and creamy sauce. You could easily tell they weren't store bought by the textures. Prices are fair the quality. Highly recommend I will definitely be visiting again.

    Tiger Roll
    Theresa K.

    I went here today for lunch with my friends. One of them suggested the spot and I love sushi so it was right up my alley. The menu is extensive so it took me a while to decide what to eat. I ordered the crawfish egg rolls and tiger roll. The crawfish egg rolls was stuffed with crab and crawfish. I devoured them so quickly I didn't get a chance to take a picture lol. The roll I picked was the tiger roll (raw). It has spicy tuna, white fish, and salmon with spicy Mayo sauce. The size/portions are huge, you will not leave hungry. I think this will be my go to spot for sushi when I'm at work. Definitely a must try!

    We've gone twice in two days; second time brought a friend. The rolls are HUGE. You get your moneys worth. The pho is "a solid 7 or 8 out of 10" coming from my Vietnamese buddy we brought along. Staff is small but very friendly. The place has a lounge feel, with the sweetest paintings along the walls. If I'm not mistaken, there's a drive thru.

    This is my first time trying the place and I must say it was exceptional. My first time trying everything I ate and I loved it all! I highly recommend this place

    Rainbow roll and New Orleans roll
    Laura B.

    This is our sushi spot on the West Bank. My husband and I treat ourselves to a sushi date night here every once and awhile and the service is always excellent. The rolls are huge so we narrowed down what to order. We order 2 appetizers and 2 rolls. The gyoza is a must. We tried the spring roll sampler, it included lobster and spring roll. The New Orleans roll is also a must! The rainbow roll is usually a safe bet roll for us so we typically get that. I'd skip ordering the martini since the mango flavor was artificial. The waitress always asks if you'd like extra sauce, she doesn't play, she brought us all sorts of sauces. The customer service is amazing we will continue to return.

    Very inventive rolls and an extensive election that includes grilled items and Vietnamese food. The surf and turf roll was full of smoky flavor. It was different from what we expected but great. The owner was very kind and very much wanted to make sure we were happy and taken care of. The ambience reminds me of something out of a Real Housewives of Orange County episode-amusing.

    Salmon box
    Carol T.

    A sushi lover's dream! We came here on a last minute whim. For starters, we had the beef tataki and trio Carpaccio. The photos can practically speak for themselves but I will say that sear IS perfection! Also, have you ever seen thick cuts like this? Not me. Not ever. It's crazy! For the main entrees, we got the salmon box, the love boat, and 7pc omakase. If you're wondering what omakase means it's a Japanese saying for "I'll leave it up to you, chef". While each sushi course was imaginative and tasty it left me wanting more tbh... more citrus, more sate maybe?! But hey, for the cool price of $19.99, it's a steal! Everything was unbelievably fresh! We'll definitely be back.. just, next time I'll pass on the salmon box and miso soup.

    Egg roll sampler: crawfish, Vietnamese(?), lobster
    Chelle L.

    To be totally honest, we didn't decide to come here for dinner until we got to our first intended restaurant and the wait was 45 minutes. I didn't find out about this place until I quickly got on yelp and looked for a nearby sushi place to go to instead. The food here was decent; I wouldn't say that it amazed me in any way really but it wasn't bad at all. We started out with the egg roll sampler and I'm not totally sure that I could tell which one was the lobster and which was the crawfish egg roll but again, still tasty. We got a complimentary bowl of noodle salad and I loved that. The salmon avocado roll was good as well but the crispy scallop roll (forgive me for forgetting the name and I can't find it on the menu pictures) had a little too much lemon zest on it for my liking. I probably wouldn't get it again but I wouldn't let that stop me from coming to Nobuko again either. The teppanyaki was also good but they cooked the scallops in a sort of Cajun sauce and again, not bad but probably just a little too strong for me and not what I was expecting of that. Although I didn't love the food there, the service was pretty great. You can tell that it's a family owned restaurant and the chef came around the tables to make sure that everyone's food was good and asked us if we needed anything. Our server was a little soft spoken but that's hardly a complaint since he was still very nice and accommodating. All in all, this place didn't wow me like I had hoped but it's still worth coming to eat here!

    Since my usual "go to" sushi place, Tennou, is doing take out only, I ended up here for the dine-in sushi experience. I got the New Orleans roll, the salmon roll, the tuna roll and a Philly roll. All of the food was great. I've been here a few times and the service is pretty good and, although I wish the staff was better about wearing masks, I felt safe because the tables were distant from each other. The restaurant itself is huge and gorgeous, and has been totally renovated from when it was Parrot Pete's. I'm not sure if this would be my first pick for Westbank sushi, but it did the job. I'd like to return and try their ramen!

    I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with my experience dining at Nobuko for the first time. The staff was very nice to me and my friend. Not to mention that the food was very good! The only thing I can only complain about is the extra minutes we had to wait for my friend's meal to come in, but that's about it. I would come back to this restaurant, and would recommend my fellow Yelpers to come check this place out! *I would also like to give a huge shoutout to my friend and I's waitress Kelley; she was very nice to us and had a great attitude!

    We had heard good things about this restaurant and we love dumplings, so we decided to go. We sat…read moredown and waited and waited and waited. Someone finally came over to take our drink order. We realized that there was only one person working in the whole restaurant. We knew they did not serve liquor so we asked for iced tea,,,,NONE. We ordered water. We reviewed the laminated, colorful menu (which made the place feel like a chain restaurant.) We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak dumplings and the Crawfish dumplings. Both had obviously been frozen and then either microwaved or steamed. I took one bite of the cheesesteak dumpling and they had heated it up TOO much so it burned my lip and tongue. I waited about 5-7 minutes and took another bite. They were rubbery and, as hard as it is to believe, they both tasted the same. The steamed dumplings were better, but not by much. We will not be going back. There are other dumpling places to try.

    I came here during a progressive dinner I was having for my birthday . I came here strictly to try…read morea bunch of dumplings. The interior decor is really nice. Very unique decor. The service was also good. I was greeted when I walked in and my food was ready in a decent amount of time. I tried so many flavors of dumplings. I liked the majority of them. There was maybe 2 flavors I tried that were just ok. I tasted a few flavors that were unlike anything else I've tried. The problem is I don't remember the names of the ones I really liked so that gives me an excuse to go back and try a bunch more lol

    Café Zen - Baked salmon rolls

    During our last night in Louisiana during the Christmas break, Sophia and I headed here for dinner…read more Cafe Zen has been a favorite of ours for years when we lived in the Westbank. Sushi, noodle salad and more...great comfort food. We found out they relocated to the old Gretna neighborhood near the Courthouse recently so why not see how things are now in their new digs? Walking in, we noticed a big difference. In the previous spot, they were in a strip mall where they were small and intimate. In their new location, they have more space and a separate area with a bar. I think this was previously occupied, but on the eyes it can be a bit confusing. Within minutes, we were ready for ordering. For apps, we both ordered noodle salad, one of our favorite dishes. Sophia said the aftertaste was like mayonaise and I noticed the difference too. Maybe the mix was a little strong, but it was good. For the main course, I ordered baked salmon rolls which consisted of baked salmon fillet wrapped around snow crab filling and we shared fried fish cakes with wasabi sauce for dipping. Everything was delicious and just like previous times after moving away, made us feel like we were back home. However, the reason why the rating was 4 stars was due to the lack of intimacy the new location offered. It looks gorgeous, but again, the presence of intimacy seemed a distant memory. We sat next to a group who was a little loud and inebriated, even though they weren't harming us. A situation like that at the previous location would never happen. Sophia mentioned the same thing too as we left. Would we come back? Yes, but maybe during lunch where it's less people. We'll give them some time in this location.

    Cafe Zen is always very welcoming to me every time I visit their food speaks words and wordsread more
