Terrible food, worse service. Simply bad ambiance. Will never go back. I regret choosing this place to celebrate.

What a lovely dinner! The food was creative and interesting but mostly delicious! I wanted more of each round! Upgraded the evening with steak and it was worth every penny. Staff was so nice and attentive! Recommend 100%

Kyle and the chefs know how to execute a beautiful Japanese dinner. The cocktails are perfect and the Sake list is a rare find of brilliance.
Forget what you know about sushi and go visit Yo Nashi and let them show you how to eat! The flavors, textures and artful presentation are a true gem to the New Orleans dining scene.
We will make this a regular stop every time we visit this great city.

We were charged almost double from the regular Omakase menu, which was $89. We expect a full refund for the difference.

Must go. Amazingly fresh and so so delicious. We’ve had omakase all over the world and these are some takes on nigiri that I’ve never tasted before (hard to do!). Wonderful combo of super fresh fish flown in from Japan and local seafood. Can’t recommend more highly- it’s charming and authentic and a great value to boot. Holly and Jose and crew know what they’re doing. ❤️ 🍣
