Asahi Sushi & Asian Grill, Belle Chasse, LA Report #561

I pass by this small strip mall pretty often. It has several restaurants in it. I’ve tried the Rotolo’s and the Tea Bar, and today it was this places turn. Nice, clean looking little place. I had to grab my order to go. They have a pretty extensive menu. This is a link to it…

Yakuza House, Metairie, LA Report #554

My son is a sushi lover and today is his birthday. Last year I treated him to an outstanding sushi lunch at Kanno. This year we decided to try somewhere different. I’ve heard great things about this place, so we were hoping to have an even more outstanding lunch here today! I wasn’t exactly sure…

Hangout Ramen, New Orleans, LA Report #532

It’s been pretty warm here in New Orleans. I’m talking 80 degree temps in December. But that’s about to change. It’s cold right now by our standards. 48 degrees as I’m writing this. But by Christmas it’ll be in the 20’s. That’s very rare, bone chilling cold to us New Orleanians! So I need to…

Panda Palace Buffet, Gulfport, MS Report #511

Ok, you’re probably saying, “A Chinese Buffet? You’re really reporting on one of THOSE”? Yes, I am. Let me tell you a little story. Not sure if I ever told y’all before but I was a Navy Reservist. At one point during my career, I was assigned to the Seabee Base in Gulfport. I was…

Daiwa Sushi Bar & Japanese Cuisine, Metairie, LA Report #509

For months now we’ve been trying to eat at a place out here in Metairie called Fusion Café. A friend of mine told me they make a shrimp pho that’s delicious! The first time we tried to go there, according to their website they were open. When we got there they were closed. We ended…

Golden Dragon Chinese Buffet, Slidell, LA Report #489

This report will be short. I was in Slidell for some job training. The previous night I had an excellent dinner at Restaurant Cote. I had a long day and homework to do, so I needed something quick. What’s quicker than a Chinese buffet? So, without any further ado, here’s the food! They didn’t feed…

Oishii Sushi House, New Orleans, LA Report #474

I’m sure a lot of people aren’t even aware this place exists. It’s on a busy street, but all the way at the end of a little strip mall, and hidden behind a gas station and the Olive Branch Café. Basically, impossible to see from the street. The only reason I knew it was back…

Kanno, Metairie, LA Report #454

Today was my son’s birthday. He, like me, is a sushi lover. I heard a lot of good things about this place but neither of us had tried it yet, so I invited him for a sushi birthday feast! Let’s back up about a week. That’s when I invited him. He was going to a…

Shogun, Metairie, LA Report #439

I’ve reviewed numerous sushi joints in and around the New Orleans area, and can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this one. Why you ask? Because when this place opened in 1981 it was the very first place in the New Orleans area to have a sushi bar. Other restaurants had served sushi, but didn’t have a…

Café Zen, Gretna, LA Report #393

There’s a few restaurants in this little strip mall. Banana Blossom used to be located a few doors down from here until they moved. But then Jasmine Rice, another good Thai place, moved into their vacated spot. Being a regular customer of those places I kept seeing this restaurant, saying I’d give it a try…
