Yo Nashi provided a top 3 food experience for my girlfriend and I. The omakase style of menu (chefs choice) allowed us to branch out and enjoy a wide array of food we wouldn't have ordinarily tried. Each of the 7 courses were perfectly crafted and cooked. I will never forget my night here. The whole staff was friendly and attentive and ensured the entire meal and experience was flawless. I cannot recommend Yo Nashi enough and will do so to anyone who can listen.

Had an amazing first dinning experience at Yo Nashi! The atmosphere is wonderful, beautiful bar, open seating to watch the chefs at work. The chefs interacted with us during our meal and gave a full description of each dish, they’re very knowledgeable and talented. The food was beyond! This week their menu featured tuna from Japan and Red Snapper, I thoroughly enjoyed every dish and was so impressed! You can tell so much thought goes into their menu (which changes weekly due to what quality protein is available), the flavors and plating. Cannot wait to come back!

The space was a little crammed and the sushi counter was very high so you felt very closed off from the chefs and couldn't see any of the preparation, which I'm not used to at omakase. Also, it may have just been an off night but the spacing between courses was wildly long. After an hour we had only been served two things, the oyster and a soup. I'm also not used to not really interacting with the chefs at all. There was no conversation what so ever other than telling us what we were getting very briefly when it was handed over, which is maybe just their style here but not my preference. Other Omakasa places I've eaten at have been much more interactive, the chef talking about the food and being able to see it being prepared and more of a show. The actual food itself was very underwhelming. As I mentioned before the timing between courses was extremely long and then the actual nigiri all came out at once. 5 pieces presented on one tray. I feel like had they been sent out separately it would have felt like you were getting more and a way to feel like there was less time between courses. I also felt like the 5 pieces presented together did not go well with one another. They didn't feel like they were planned to complement one another and that took away from the experience. Personally I only liked one of the five pieces presented (although I ate them all, it's not like they were terrible just didn't think they were very good). My partner had the same opinion, he only liked 1/5. Overall I was not impressed and wouldn't return. The hostess was very nice, as was everyone we interacted with. Just an oddly disjointed and not very tasty presentation in my personal opinion.
The focus was flavor. There were ebbs and flows of intensity throughout the courses, but the highlights were the sushi course and the hamachi. We'll definitely be back to explore as the menu changes.

I did the sake pairing with Omakase, which I recommend. Loved each selection and glad I went for the Wagu beef added option. Great service. Great food.

This was an absolutely Incredible omakase experience. We did the Sake pairing - each was matched perfectly with the food for the particular course. Wagyu upgrade was definitely worth it. One of the best meals we've had in a long time. If you're looking for an incredible omakase experience in New Orleans, this is it.
Amazing experience where you sit down and the chefs prepare an omakase dining experience. Presentation and taste were on point. If you're looking for a dining experience, I would highly recommend.

We tried Yo-Nashi for the first time to celebrate my husband's birthday. Every course was incredible, all the staff was very attentive, and the chefs were accommodating to my food allergies. We loved it and will return!
My first experience at Yo Nashi was for a Valentine's Day omakase special, and it was absolutely stunning. Each dish was unique and delicious, and the chefs and staff were professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Overall, it was an exquisite experience that definitely warrants many more visits.

I'm a little late on this post because of adulting, but I am glad to have gone here for the omakase! I honestly don't remember what I ordered, but it was yummy yummy in my tummy! #Tonylameats #yonashi #neworleansla #omakase #sushi

Absolutely amazing. Went there 1 week after opening for the Omakase experience and it was so great. Only thing I noticed was most of the staff was a little poorly dressed and disorganized considering the price point and compared to the sushi chef and his helper's professionalism!

My second time to enjoy this awesome Omakase cuisine. The menu was different than the first trip and just as tasty. Cannot recommend Yo Nashi enough to those traveling to NOLA and want a Sushi experience. The flavor profiles will always have me coming back to see what's new.

Ridiculously delish food. Ambiance is not fussy, and service is chill. Each course is made in front of you. Set menu- Get the wagu add on- it's worth it. This was a very special meal.
