Sukeban is an amazing Japanese restaurant. The chef sources many of the main ingredients directly from Japan, which really helps preserve an authentic taste. What stood out to me was how a few simple ingredients were transformed into surprisingly complex flavors--clean, balanced, and memorable. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but honestly, sushi and sashimi are expensive in Japan too, so it feels justified for the quality you're getting. Out of all the restaurants we tried (or revisited) during our week-long trip to New Orleans, this was easily the most memorable dining experience. Thank you. read more

Delicious Japanese dining on Oak Street! The open bar-style seating makes for an immersive experience, where you're able to watch on as the team crafts your dishes! I started with overflowing sake and was instructed to drink my glass, then drink the remainder straight from the box...so cool and unique! The spicy cabbage and green beans were both crisp, tasty greens to start my meal. I ordered 2 hand rolls to make sure I'd be full, but truly, I only needed one (though, the 2 were delicious lol). The shrimp roll is a MUST, but the shiitake roll was not far behind! I love that the team makes your rolls one at a time, so that the seaweed is always fresh when you eat them. I finished the meal with sesame icecream..a sweet and decadent topping to a fresh meal. Sukeban is a must-try! read more

Sukeban has been on my list for a year and finally tried it because of restaurant week! Favorites: - Blue fin tuna sashimi - so fresh, melts in your mouth and the texture paired with radish adds a perfect crunch - spicy shrimp hand roll - really great especially for the price! - blue crab hand roll (not pictured) - delicious! But for the price I'd rather get sashimi - spicy cabbage - yum!!! It came with the restaurant week combo we ordered glad it did because it was so refreshing. I prob wouldn't order it on its own - vegetarian roll - this was in the combo we ordered for restaurant week and the cucumbers were nicely pickled and had good flavor. Good for vegetarians! Parking: limited street parking, paid street parking, so we parked a few blocks away in residential area Overall, great fresh sushi in an omakase sushi bar style restaurant. Best sushi I've had since moving here! read more

i was initially thrilled when a friend suggested this restaurant. having moved from Dallas recently, i had been searching for a quality handroll spot for some time. i thought i had prepared myself for the sticker shock in advance, noting that a simple salmon temaki was marked up four times more than in other major US cities i have visited. i figured each roll might come as a set of 2, or perhaps was heftier than a typical roll. nope...see attached photo LOL. i also ordered an onigiri. while both were absolutely delicious, they were not filling. and i truly did not want to order another $22+ temaki, so i left starving. although the service here was impeccable, and the ambience vibey, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze read more

Sukeban - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

What a great experience!!! In the love of everything Asian....this food was soooo good and fresh. Ok we did a walk in on a Thursday evening and it wasn't packed at all. We were seated at the bar. (It's mostly bar seating) Our waitress greeted us quickly and went over the specials and the menu. Made some suggestions on how to order and gave us space to peruse the options. She stopped in moments later to see if we had questions and provide any assistance we may have needed. For drinks we had mizu (water) and a Chu Hi cocktail which is a ginger shochi and sparkling yuzu juice (lemon). Such a refreshing beverage. For an appetizer we gave the salmon sashimi a try. It was so cute and petite (seriously Asian style). Lol. But wow what great flavor!!! On to the temaki (hand roll). If you're afraid to try the raw fish go with a vegan friendly roll. Might I suggest the shiitake temaki. It was soooooo good and flavorful. It's like it had magical shiitake inside. Lol. So good I had 3! Hey don't judge me! We also tried the kyurizuke and salmon temaki and both were great but that shiitake was hands down our favorite of the evening! I can't wait to return. As a reminder sushi in general isn't cheap so be prepared. It's all so very worth it. Hats off to the chef and owner Jacqueline. #chefskiss read more

I was looking for a new-to-me sushi restaurant - new year, new sushi - but Sukeban left me disappointed. The location is perfect for me, as I love the riverbend, but that's kind of where the high point lies. My husband and I parked across the street on Oak, paid the meter, and made our way inside. We were welcomed and shown to our seats at the bar area. No tables available - this is a counter seating concept. No good for conversation with friends, business associates or family members. The menus were on the bar and I was surprised that hand rolls were really the only offered entrees. It was lunchtime and I was hungry. As very few of the hand roll ingredients were familiar to me, the server/hostess answered the questions I had about the menu items. I got tired of asking questions. I felt dumb and like a bother, so I just shut my mouth and moved on. The server/hostess explained that each handroll would be equal to a sushi roll in size and quantity, and that they could not be cut by the sushi chef so my husband and I could just take turns biting into them. Seriously? I'm still so confused. Thank goodness I was having lunch with my husband because I certainly wouldn't eat after anyone else. Gross. We initially ordered 3 rolls - Blue crab - super smushed crab - and not like snow crab. More like blue crab after you pick it, but imagine it all smushed and gray. Blue fin Toro - it was ok, but not great Salmon - not too bad, but not great These rolls were so small and sparsely filled that we were left very hungry. We ordered another roll - the Shiitake. It was by far our favorite of the four, but unfortunately it was extremely salty. The prices are outrageous. We had the four rolls mentioned and stuck with tap water. Our bill was 85.90. Keep in mind that the total includes the 18% gratuity that is added to all checks. I've attached a pic. Sooooo, prices are high, flavors weren't great, portions were small, no tables, so no conversation. If the sushi chef had been near us and we could have seen him work, maybe, but that wasn't the case. We were seated in the last two seats on the left and he was working at the far right section of the bar. We were literally the only two customers the entire time we were there. Pluses: friendly service, very clean restaurant, lovely decor, cool location We headed back to the office to raid the pantry for something else to eat. read more

Love love love this place!!!! Not sushi but hand rolls are their specialty. The service was on point too...very friendly and knowledgeable. I had the blue crab hand roll, scallop hand roll and blue toro hand roll. I had a delicious sake too. The sorbet for dessert was so divine!!!! Perfect cap to a fantastic dinner. I definitely wanna go back...they have something called the Gatsby roll and it's $100 and I def wanna save up for it. Great place! Check them out!!!! read more

A fancy expensive spot for really fresh seafood! I went at a really late hour near closing and thus a few popular items were sold out. I appreciated this though, as it really showed me how fresh their stock is. Their items won't always be the same day to day, depending on what they get in their shipments which is a very good sign. I'm pretty sure they use horseradish though instead of actual wasabi. The stuff that I did have was delicious. The salmon was very good quality, some of the best quality I've had. Same with the tuna and uni. This place is expensive as there's no direct competition for this specific niche (as far as I know) and won't be filling unless you drop a lot of money. This is a dining experience, not a place to get your fill. The inside is small but cute. It's a traditional bar seating but I think there were one or two tables near the entrance. The staff were very friendly and all were attentive and gave good recommendations. I recommend this spot for locals that have never had omakase before or those that want a fancy food experience, not for tourists as there will likely be more traditional omakase experiences elsewhere. 5 stars! read more

Sukeban - Salmon Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Came here for dinner to try their hand rolls. The sushi rice was fantastic, other ingredients excellent, fish incredibly fresh, and seaweed so crisp. The restaurant is located in a small shop on a relatively busy street away from downtown New Orleans but is pretty easy to get to. Service was friendly and welcoming, eager to help you with any questions you might have. My only complaint is the options can start racking up quite a bill. The food is delicious but can cost a pretty penny. You might need to come multiple times to try everything on their menu (though it changes seasonally) and might also need to go elsewhere after to fill yourself up. read more

We have been coming here since it opened, and it is by far our favorite place to get sushi. When you step in, it feels like you have gone to Japan, and many of the ingredients do come directly from there. Everything is so elevated and the flavors are balanced very well. You can tell that the chef has a great love and respect for Japan and excellent quality sushi. One of our favorite places to get sushi for a special occasion. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while! Sit at the bar, order 1 small plate at a time, and get to taste many delicious things in a relaxed environment. If you come with a larger (4+) group, make a reservation because the place is small. The potato salad is incredible. The sashimi is soooo fresh. My favorite hand rolls are spicy shrimp, shiitake, and sweet potato. All sooo good and unique! (One downside--I didn't enjoy the cocktail I ordered but the sake and wine and whiskey are great!) read more

I was really excited to try Sukeban but I left pretty disappointed. While the handrolls were good (not great), I felt like they were extremelyyyyy overpriced. I also ordered their take on onigiri, filled with snapper. It was just okay. The space is small with mainly bar seating and one table in the front. I went right when they opened at 4:30 for happy hour, which was 25% off certain items. Again, everything was extremely overpriced. I ordered 2 hand rolls and 1 onigiri. The final tab was $40...... :/ the service was friendly and helpful. But I won't return because of how dang expensive it was! read more

The waitresses were great, but if you are looking for some chef interaction like other sushi bars, it isn't something you'll get. It is on the pricier side. Everything was OK. My sushi rice was cold with every dish. I'm not sure if it was because I came at opening or if it was usually how they serve their dishes? I got the following dishes: spicy cabbage, sashimi bluefin tuna, sashimi ora king, uni bowl w rice, spicy tuna + mango handroll, blue crab handroll, and scallop handroll. It is a very simple, yet aesthetic place with plenty of street parking. read more

Finally able to get here. Had to go solo and also get carry out. Server walked me through several sake options and let me try one to see if I liked it. Started with the Addictive cabbage and the potato salad. Cabbage is killer and tough to stop eating but did and packaged the remainder same with potato salad. Then on to blue fin tuna sashimi outstanding. Miso Eggplant Hand roll was a revelation and awesomely delicious. Hand roll of Hokkaido scallop with chopique caviar was great texturally. Flavor and exactly on point. Got another eggplant and spicy shrimp hand roll to go. Tasted a pickled pompano mini hand roll as a bit of lagniappe which was a flavor bomb. Enjoyed talking knives with Jaclyn. Can't wait to get back. read more

we stopped in for a quick bite to check it out. it was amazing. we will be back to try more of the menu.

New sushi restaurant calling itself an izakaya. They specialize in making sashimi and hand-rolls. All of which is what we ordered: the King Salmon Sashimi, Bluefin Toro handroll, ikura & uni over sushi rice. Everything tasted delicious and the place has such a clean, modern look to it. Keep in mind, that they only have a 16seat bar top; so there's not a huge seating area. There are some things they need to work out; so below, are some tips that may help you prepare for your adventure. 1. There's no reservations, so only walk-ins. You may have to wait. 2. Scan the QR Code and order off your phone. (if multiple people but 1 check, order off 1 phone) 3. The bottle on the counter is NOT hand sanitizer; it's shoyu for the sushi. So spritz the food not the hands. @phidingthefam read more

The hand rolls taste exceptional! We only got one of each on the menu + 2 beers + 1 house bottle of sake. I just wish we left full after spending $300 for 2 ... we had to spend more money on a second meal afterwards... probably won't be back for this fact. read more

In Japanese, 'Izakaya' translates to something along the lines of 'stay-drink-place;' and no term more aptly describes how it feels to visit Sukeban for a bite to eat. Located across the street from Blue Cypress Books on Oak, you'd almost miss the place if you were just walking by; it's small, but in a way that feels welcoming, inviting and intimate if you were looking for somewhere to have a drink with friends, bring someone on a date, or just have a few temaki- or hand rolls - and a Japanese strawberry soda by yourself on a weekday night. I've done the latter twice now, and seeing as how they just opened this summer, I really do think that Sukeban has a lot of potential. My favorite item on the menu (apart from strawberry soda) is their Izakaya potato salad. Made with fresh vegetables, Japanese mayo and topped with crispy niboshu, I would go back to Sukeban just to get this again; and I'm not joking. I remember, on my first visit, sitting at the bar and actively texting my friends about how incredible this potato salad was. I've also had their shiitake tsukudani hand roll, as well as their lafitte blue crab hand roll, and both were amazing. I still want to try everything else on their menu. The bar was stylish, well-organized and clean; and the cooking staff were disciplined in their work yet friendly, and even talkative if you ask a few questions about what they're doing. I'd never used an online ordering system like theirs before, but the host working the first time I visited was super helpful and walked me through the process. As someone who can teeter between introverted and extroverted depending on the day of the week, I really appreciated how flexible the experience was - I could see someone spending the whole night conversing with friends as strangers just as much as I could see someone having a nice, quiet and calm experience - probably while sitting next to eachother on the same night. Altogether, this place is wonderful; and in its early days already as a 'hidden gem.' A selfish part of me hopes it's stays that way - so I can just walk in and get a seat at the bar anytime I want - but I also really want to see Sukeban and its team succeed in the vision they have to bring this unique dining style to people in New Orleans. read more

My first time here and I'll be back. The atmosphere is bright. it's a great after-work place to grab a bite with friends or for a solo trip. The service was 10/10. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Everyone took the time to explain the menu and make delicious recommendations. It's also a bonus that you're able to watch your rolls being prepared. This was also my first time trying hand rolls and they were DELICIOUS. Must try the blue crab and shrimp hand rolls (they're cooked). The seafood was also so fresh, no super fishy aftertaste. Ordered the cabbage , so crunchy , fresh and well seasoned. The potato salad was well seasoned and came garnished with fried sardines (not my favorite) but they added a more dimension to the texture of the salad. The desert?! Amazing. It took a lot of restraint to only order one bowl of each. The pear and ginger sorbet was mild but so deeply flavored. The miso caramel ice cream was rich and sweet. Side note: There are plenty of cooked items , so if you're easing in to raw sushi, it's perfect. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. read more

So incredibly disappointed in my experience - or lack there of... I had made a reservation a little over a day prior to our reservation - but I was unable to gather enough interest from friends to join me. I first attempted to cancel on Resy the evening before - the message said ' you MAY be billed $200 for cancelling within 24 hours.' I tried calling the morning of the reservation but no one answered since they're only open for dinner service. I then sent them an email to tell them I needed to cancel. I tried to find a way to modify the reservation on Resy to a different date but I could't do that either. I then called again at 4:15 to tell them our party wasn't able to join me - I spoke with someone on the phone who said "you're all set". Welp, sure enough - 10:30pm rolls around and I get a message saying I had been charged the $200 dollar no show fee. WTAF. I spoke with someone on the phone as soon as I saw the charge and they passive aggressively said they'd need to look into it - only to send me an email a little while later telling me the owner was implementing the policy. I was really looking forward to dining at Bar Sukeban. I've been trying to find a day/time that I could make it work. Now - I will never dine at Bar Sukeban and I can assure you every person I know that lives in New Orleans will be hearing about this experience. Jackie - Tell your staff to inform people that they're still going to have to pay the $200 fine even if they call and cancel ahead of time. And while I have you... Are you telling me you weren't able to fill that table on the Tuesday before Jazz Fest? The same evening that Rebirth plays down the street at the Maple Leaf? Because if you were able to fill that table, you really should return my money to me. Looks like I'm also looking for another knife shop. read more

Do you have a rear end? One with nerve sensation and musculature and bloodflow? If so, avoid being seated at the Sushi Bar here. The owner and their interior designer took a big swing and miss on the bar stools, which not only too small for the average person's bottom, but set way too far in toward the counter. Unless you're prepared to clench uncomfortably for 30 minutes while eating in a semi-reclined position, stick with the table service. Other than that the food was stellar with prices to match. Having the 18% gratuity included is both welcome and clearly stated on the menu. Doubt you will find a better Miso Soup in town, and the handroll selection was vibrant, tasty, and an enlightened departure from mainstream "rolls". These you consume in bites, with appropriately miniscule accompaniments of soy sauce, sliced ginger and "wasabi." I say "wasabi" in quotes, because AchyBun -- sorry, Sukeban -- have fallen into the customary trap of presenting powdered green-dyed horseradish as if it were the real thing. (Someone, PLEASE get some zested real wasabi root onto a plate and compare the quality!? The fake stuff is like trying to pass "imitation crab meat" as real crab instead of the molded trash fish it is.) High marks for courteous wait staff and ambience. No rock music ruining the mood here. Only an achy butt. Hopefully the latter will be remedied soon. read more

I'm a hand roll addict and get kazunori every time I go back to Los Angeles, so I was super excited to find out that a new hand roll bar was opening in New Orleans!! Got the salmon sashimi, cabbage, cucumbers, blue crab roll, crawfish roll, toro roll, and night swim sake. Everything was pretty good and the hand rolls are definitely the best I've had in New Orleans. I like that at the bar, the next roll doesn't come out until you've finished your current one, which prevents the hand roll seaweed from getting soggy (crispy seaweed is a must!!). The rice was also nicely cooked and seasoned, and the blue crab, crawfish, and toro all tasted delicious and fresh. Cabbage, cucumber, and salmon sashimi were bomb and had such great flavor. Salmon tasted fresh, cabbage had yummy seasoning which also added a bit of crunch and texture, and the cucumber comes with a side of miso which surprisingly is a great combo--refreshing, sweet, and savory. Service was great and all of the workers there are friendly and attentive. The only downside to this place in my opinion, and the reason I'm giving four stars instead of five, is the price. Each hand roll ranges anywhere from $8-28, which is pretty pricy compared to other hand roll spots that I frequent in other cities (which have better hand rolls for anywhere between $6-14). It'd be nice if there was a way to get 3-4 rolls as a set with a discounted cost. I'll probably be back though if I have cravings and need my hand roll fix! read more

Sukeban advertises itself as an izakaya. I was super excited for an izakaya to open in New Orleans, but this isn't one. They specialize in hand rolls and have a couple sides. For a hand roll place, it is good, but the decor and vibe is very sterile, the price point is high for ordering on your phone. Kinda feels like you're in a bizzaro hospital cafeteria. We had the "spicy" cabbage salad, potato salad, crab, shrimp, and crawfish hand rolls and peach miso ice cream. The potato salad and ice cream were fantastic, the crab and crawfish hand rolls were great, the shrimp roll was too saucy and bland, and the cabbage salad was not good, it tastes like it's just cabbage with a black pepper and oil dressing. They need a lower priced house sake (not in a can) and more small plates other than salads. read more

Food is consistently excellent. This is one of the best and most reliable sushi restaurants in New Orleans. Fish is fresh, and staff are fantastic. That said, there is a seahorse who works at least a couple nights a week making handrolls and I'm beyond tired of people pretending like he's just an oddly shaped man in a top hat. That is definitely a sea horse and he isn't fooling anyone. read more

This is some of the freshest sushi I have ever had! The nigiri was delicious and is the new standard I will compare all future nigiri to. The restaurant is a neat experience that feels exclusive and intimate -- but be prepared to drop some serious $ on this meal. The quality does not come cheap. read more

Amazing new kid on the block with unreal Japanese cuisine. It's an Iazakaya, their version of a pub. A curated beverage list to rival any of its kind. The sake selection and Asian fruit drinks are spot on. The food offered some of the finest fish and caviar. The rice is the best I've had outside of Korea/Japan. Quality reigns Supreme here. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly while my handrolls were being prepared. Modern atmosphere and squeaky clean. I've been a few times already and loved it. The chef has an enviable resume and travels to Japan yearly. Her research paid off with this place. Love it!!!​​ read more

This was my second time eating here and it was fabulous! So fresh, tasty, and a great addition to Oak street. The first time we ordered off the QR code and sat at the bar. The second time, we were a 5 top and ate at the one and only large table. We had impeccable service and our server was extremely amiable and knowledgeable. She guided us on what to order for the 5 of us and how to share dishes. The food is pricey but you absolutely are paying for high quality. There are many pros to this restaurant, but there is 1 con: they auto grat 15% on every order, regardless of party size. We were not told about this auto grat policy when we ate as a party of 5. As a former server for years, I have zero issue with an auto grat policy, but the restaurant needs to let patrons know about said policy, beyond just putting it at the bottom of the receipt. I gave a 4 star review solely based on the non disclosure of the auto gratting policy. read more

We arrived at 7:30 and by 8:15 the staff was running around sterilizing the work areas. The website says that they are open till 9:30 but perhaps the team can leave when they've pushed the last customer out the door. The smell of the cleaning fluid, not to mention the apparent hurry of the team to leave, stopped us from ordering anything else. It was obvious that the staff couldn't wait for us to go. The seats next to us at the counter were sterilized and set for tomorrow and the team ran back and forth from the kitchen with dishes to set up for tomorrow. A group arrived as we were leaving. I wonder if they swept the floor under their feet as they were ordering. We live in the neighborhood, lived in Tokyo for four years, and love Japanese food, but still, we won't be back. I can make a relaxing Japanese meal at home and won't have to watch the staff run back and forth to clean up the counter or smell the cleaning fluid mixed with my food. PS - it isn't a izakya more of a handroll sushiya-ish place. read more

Amazing restaurant. The seating areas are very small so you're likely to sit at the bar unless you have a reservation with 5-6 people. The food is made and served directly in front of you and the quality was amazing! I did not take a photo but the shiitake hand roll was surprisingly one of my favorites! Will definitely be returning. read more

Hidden gem. This little izakaya on Oak is one of our favorite spots in the city. The Japanese name translates to Boss Girl. Hell yeah! From their website "Sukeban is Japanese for boss girl or delinquent girl - the name of the leader of Tokyo's lady gangs of the '70s and '80s. This name was given to them as society's rule breakers in Japan's heavily patriarchal society - women who shattered societal norms in fashion, culture, and independence by stepping outside of the roles that were expected of them. They would often meet up late night at izakayas. We're stoked to bring a small piece of this experience to the fine folks of New Orleans - focusing on temaki handrolls, local seafood culture, natural wine, fine sake, whiskey, and heady Japanese beers." Yep, that checks out. Chef Jackie is a culinary boss and has built a really cool spot. They serve Japanese food but also a fresh take on Louisiana seafood. No imitation krab here! Real crab, yep! I love the blue crab temaki. They offer numerous raw fish options- each delicately seasoned and simply plated- so their knife skills and the fish really shine. But you don't have to be into raw fish to eat here. Even vegan and vegetarian folks will be happy with numerous non-meat options- I promise. The simple sounding veggie temaki have tons of flavor and textures. They even won a vegan sushi award:) We always start with ohitashi- which is a generous portion of perfectly cooked savory seasonal greens. The potato salad is unique and filling- definitely not your typical potato salad. We always go over the top on ordering bc everything is so good- including the ambitious sake list. While it is not exactly a deal, you get what you pay for, and here you're are paying for premium ingredients. I really think it is exquisite. Michelin star level cuisine in a hip little space. If you're on a budget, you can save a bit of money if you can make it for happy hour deals. Also know that while they do include a gratuity, you won't find the service slipping. The crew here is always super attentive and fun. Kanpai! read more

FOOD IS DELICIOUS. Prices are exorbitant! Be aware that they also figure in an 18% tip.

Food is pretty good but this place is obscenely overpriced. Not much else to say except I need to meet the character count.

Wayy overpriced. Yes the hand rolls were good but $5 per bite good? No. They also said "perfect for sharing" but wouldn't even cut the roll in half. Drinks were overpriced too- $16 for glass of wine and $13 for can of beer?? The bar was very aesthetic and maybe would do well in a place like New York but not in New Orleans where we love to eat! read more

We thought the sides and rolls were delicious; truly quality ingredients. However, the reason for this review is because of the service. We were happy to wait for seats, after an hour we were sat at the bar. No one explained the ordering to us aside from -scan the QR code. Not once did a chef or server talk to us about the food, concept, spraying the shoyu , or pay us the slightest attention during our entire meal. It seemed like if you knew someone who worked there then you would get at least a "hello" or "this is what we recommend" It felt like we were at a fast food restaurant for this reason alone. So much of the experience of sushi/ hand roll places has been the unique interaction between guest and chef. The food was a much needed addition to Nola, but this experience was disappointing. I wanted to love it and was really looking forward to a place we could frequent. Maybe this was a one off since others have had positive things to say about service. read more

Amazing food, ambience, and service. Go during happy hour to avoid a line and discounted food!

As someone who eats sushi, maybe 3 times a week, I will say that this was a different experience from your typical sushi bar. It was my first "hand roll" experience. The starters were decent. I probably wouldn't get the pickled cabbage again because it lacked flavor. The Onigiri was very well made; quite impressive since all of the sushi chef were not Asian. Hand rolls were fresh. I would give 3 stars for food, but what really stood out was the service. EVERYONE was nice and attentive. Space was very clean. Ordering online was simple. I will be back. read more

I don't write many reviews ...... but I really wanted to give this place some props for being so nice: I left my sunglasses there last night and am heading to the airport today before they open. I emailed them this morning. They wrote back immediately and arranged for me to pick them up before they open today. So nice. As to the food - we had a delicious meal last night and I'm so glad that they've opened on Oak Street (just off of Carrollton). Tiny little place; maybe only 15 seats at the sushi bar and another 15 table seats. The hand rolls were great; it was my first time enjoying this type of loose roll (not compressed with the bamboo mat). Totally positive experience; we'll be back. read more
