    Review summary

    AI-generated from verified diner reviews
    Yo Nashi offers an extraordinary dining experience with "fantastic food" and "truly exceptional" sushi, particularly praised for its "7-course Chef's Omakase tasting menu." The "creative approaches" and "personal attention from the chef" elevate the meal. While some find the ambience lacking, the "unparalleled service" and "delicious cocktails" shine.

      Wow, what an amazing find. I came and had the 7 course omakase and every course was fresh, delicious, and innovative. Beautiful little restaurant with a fantastic selection of beer, wine, sake and cocktails (which I may have indulged in a liiiiittle too much but there were so many amazing options!) Bang for your buck is unmatched since omakase can usually be in the hundreds of dollars per person range (not here!) Holly was amazing, along with the 2 sushi chefs whose names I didn’t catch. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in NOLA.

      This was, hands down, one of the BEST overall dining experiences we have encountered. Each course was thoughtfully prepared, the sushi was exquisitely done, and every flavor was beautiful and complex. We cannot wait to return and see what Chef Jose dreams up next. Thanks to Holly and Demetri for their attention to detail and amazing service.

      This was one of the best meals my colleagues and I have ever had! From the intimate setting to the detailed descriptions of each course, this is high-level experiential dining. Will make it a priority to come back every time we’re in Nola!
