    Alligator Roll
    Rosalind M.

    My son and I were looking for a good sushi bar to eat at and we found Okini Sushi Bar on Yelp. It's not far from my house so we decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad that we did! This place is like a little tucked away gem. I must've driven past it several times throughout the year and never even realized it was there. The atmosphere is nice, the staff are wonderful and welcoming, and the quality of the food was fresh. My son got the Alligator Roll and the Gyoza and I got the Alaska Roll and Metairie Roll. Everything we had tasted great. It was our first visit there, but we will definitely be back.

    Small restaurant but large on taste and selections! Salmon Box Sushi was fresh and delicious. Futomaki outstanding as well as the squid salad, salmon roe and smelt roe were generous in portion. Staff is very friendly and efficient. We will be back on a regular basis!

    Friendly people! They are a small place, but their sushi was really fresh and flavorful! We got our food to go, and even though they went a few minutes over the time they expected with our food they were super apologetic. They threw in complimentary shrimp dumplings to our order to make up for it. You can tell it's a small family owned business. They deserve the hype! Will definitely be back!! My husband and I devoured the dumplings before I thought to take a picture LOL. Picture below is the deep fried crunchy roll and the Rock n Roll added cream cheese!

    Shrimp tempura appetizer.

    Came here on lenten Friday. Small and cozy, mom and pop kinda place. Service was friendly. Food was good. I would come back for a quiet meal.

    Yummy sushi restaurant ! Husband and wife in the kitchen while their daughter waits tables . They are all very friendly and personable. Fairly new to River Ridge, previously further down Jefferson Highway . Fresh made, better than any of the other sushi restaurants near us. We've tried a few different sushi rolls. Monster roll, LSU roll , and today Okini /Mango Roll . The rolls are large and filling. My husband and I split the order and still had leftovers . It was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great fresh tuna, inventive rolls. Fresh I've been twice since they have opened. Trying the Tuna Donburri, tuna tataki and some classic and special rolls. The Metairie roll is excellent. Also enjoy the caterpillar roll. Have many others I want to try.

    Sake Don is back baby. Still getting their new business together but the food is amazing. Very happy to have them back and closer to home.

    Spicy yellowtail
    Alexander U.

    Sushi was very fresh. Ordered the soft shell crab roll, spicy yellowtail , crunchy roll and Boston roll. All were delicious! It may be a small sushi bar, but it packs huge flavor. WILL be back!!

    Very welcoming, family-owned establishment with decades of experience preparing fresh sushi for the community. We enjoyed two bottles of wine (BYOB for now) with our delicious dinner - the salmon nigiri with green onions, sriracha, and ponzu sauce is a must! It's an off-the-menu item so be sure to ask for it. My husband's favorite was their eel nigiri as it was very crispy and flavorful, and the hamachi nigiri was also a highlight of our night. The service was also lovely! Can't wait to return with more family and friends!

    Crunchy roll and Metairie Roll!

Specifically, the albacore cervice and the tuna tataki are two of my favorites. If you prefer rolls, the Metairie Roll, Rocky Roll, and the Salmon Roll are excellent. Dragon Roll is tasty with a little bit of a kick to it. The Bento Box is very good, and the portions are generous . My friends ordered them today and were happy! One of my friends ordered the chicken Pad Thai, which was enough to feed an army. He ate the entire dish. I love their miso soup and seafood soup- Always delicious. What I appreciate the most is that Mizu is always consistent with a friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced for quality food. I highly recommend Mizo Sushi Bar & Asian Fusion

Went with the gyoza app and asked for a recommendation of the rolls. Emerald was suggested and we agreed. That roll is the bomb! And service was stellar. It's a little unnerving that the chalkboard on the way in, and the menu, state prices subject to change without notice, and I get seafood is a total in flux item, just not sure I would word it that way. At any rate, we will be returning.

One hostess seemed grumpy about it; the other rolled with it. I ordered my selections, and with a two-page menu, got a little carried away.... The food came quickly, and was generous. I have to say that the sushi was better than the appetizers. The tempura didn't quite taste like what I normally get, especially the onions: they just looked like regular onion rings (and I got fake crab, instead of shrimp, but mistakes happen). For the sushi, the fish was very fresh, and the pieces were generous, but the rice could have used a bit less vinegar, and the wasabi more kick. All the rolls seemed to come either with spicy sauce or eel sauce. I can't eat mayo, so eel sauce rolls it was. That ended up being a little heavy on the sweetness, but that on me for ordering too many rolls and not enough nigiri. If I had skewed the ratio more in favor of the nigiri, that would have been more to my taste. Again, that's my fault. All-in-all, very good, and I left full, for a very reasonable price.
