When I initially told our server I was going to write a review for this restaurant, it was only going to consist of three words. First word starts with F, second word has three letters, last word would be Cody, as that was our server's name. Because the food was so good, and so ridiculous, that was all I could manage after tasting each dish.
Our table tried a wide variety of dishes, starting simple with edamame and the deviled eggs. The latter of which has ruined me for all other deviled eggs anywhere else. See above re: planned original review, CODY. The tuna was so fresh, the egg ridiculously cooked, and the leeks were the perfect added texture. Then a small order of the Gyoza, which I believe we all could've eaten full plates of. So crispy, perfectly warm and delicious inside. Ugh.
Then came the entrees, chicken and beef teriyaki with sauce so thick and rich you'd eat it on ice cream. We also got the spicy scallop handroll, which while fine, was honestly the least impressive thing on the table. It is a really high bar, though. The side/house salad alone is worth the price of admission, with perfectly sliced veggies and a roasted sesame seed dressing I'd sell my first born to have the recipe for. Or maybe I would just buy it by the gallon, whichever the restaurant preferred.
And even though we were rapidly filling on these delicious dishes, we also managed to find room for the Prime Rib Steamed buns. I thought I knew what texture I prefer with a steamed bun, but I was mistaken. This is the texture. I will continue being angry with Cody for ruining steamed buns for me on this, as well. The aioli served on it was just indecent. INDECENT.
We absolutely did not have more room for our shared dessert, which was a fried cheesecake of some kind. If you need me to describe how delicious a fried cheesecake is, your taste buds are probably not prepared for it.
I stick by my original review. How dare you, Cody. How...
   Read moreCame here for the first time when they were fairly new. I was disappointed but didnât want to rate them off of my first experience. I have q buddy who keeps telling me I should sit at the sushi bar and give them a try. He swears by this place. So I decided to go today. My experience was one of the worst I ever had out here . I get seated at the bar waitress seemed a bit rushed to take our order. We arrived a hour and a half before closing. Sushi chefs never spoke to us the entire time we were seated. As I look through menu. I see nothing special. Very Americanized sushi. Lots of cream cheese and imitation snow crab. For the fish I didnât see anything out of the ordinary. No Japanese fish at all. Very basic tuna , salmon, yellow tail. The entree kitchen menu only holds like 4-5 items. We ordered a miso soup and ask for the bill. I knew I shouldnât of came back. This place is so loud I couldnât hear myself think. Little fyi to the chefs at this place. Donât leave all your shrimp tempura behind the sushi bar sitting to long. You guys are going to make...
   Read moreWanted to love this place as Iâm looking for my new sushi spot after Little Tokyo closed and was literally torn downđ Met the co-owner (wife) working at Sidecar in Nola before her place was even open. Tried it tonight for the first time and decided to try something totally different (mistake). The Spicy Gyoza Soup does not come recommended. Mostly bad tasting broth. The soba noodles do not give the soup enough âbodyâ because they are so thin. Hardly any veggies. Mostly broth, only 2 dumplings in a large bowl. VERY disappointing. The server recommended it too. The Matcha green tea was very powdery tasting and not piping hot. My son got the Yaki Soba, which he liked. I found the prices of the specialty rolls high, most were approaching $20 a roll. The prices on every item were at least several dollars higher than other sushi restaurants. Two noodle dishes, one cucumber roll, a green tea totaled $50 plus tip. Will not...
