You get sushi take out?

hell yeah....why not? they make it right then, you eat it right then?

Yes...take out...I live 5 minutes from Yama. Jeez.

By far the best sushi I've ever had in Baton Rouge is a Waka House, which is located on Sherwood almost at Coursey. The owner comes out and says hi almost every time. Sometimes he even gives you a new roll to try and give him ideas on if you like it or not. It's a very small place, but the rolls are awesome. You can tell even the cheaper smaller rolls are made with care and presented beautifully. Not to mention, the taste rocks. Here is their website: LINK /

My favorite rolls from them are the Crunchy Ruby, the Karadynamite roll, and the WAKA crunchy roll - but honestly I've never had a roll there I didn't like.

Try it out!

Am I the only one here that just eats raw fish without all of the crunchy and chili sauce contamination?

i lived in northern califorinia for 5 years and there was a place near by that was a "sushi cafe" but most of their business was to go orders. i loved that place, i used to get sushi from there like once a week.

exactly, I eat sushi sometimes once a week....and most of the time it is on the way home from work and between my house and the place I frequent may be 5 minutes, 10 with traffic.

Afreaux, I finally sat at a sushi bar in New Orleans and that was pretty fun to watch.

Well Afreaux...you just make the world a better place, don't you?


As far as take-out goes, I like sushi THAT much that I am willing to sacrifice some its quality to enjoy it. There are time where I/we just are not dressed to go and sit at a restaurant. I would much rather dine in, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I would much rather have takeout sushi as opposed to Burger King or Cane's.

Tokyo's atmosphere is very enjoyable. I don't need to be surrounded by Betas, swords, and miniature trees to enjoy sushi.

TTP, I've heard great things of Sushi Bros and Ninja, I need to try them out. I love a great crunchy roll.

Just went to Ninja last week. It was solid but nothing special, but then again I wasn't the one ordering. Sushi brothers has been great everytime I went.

colonel, yama is by far the best, I agree. And sushi is only as good as the freshness of the fish, the consistency of the rice, and the creativity and talent of the sushi chef. Yama has this in spades. For those that haven't been, go and sit at the bar.

it's not close. people who enjoy tokyo cafe and ichiban are the same ones who think a california and shrimp tempura roll qualify them to talk about sushi. I've been to tokyo cafe and it was awful. The fish was not fresh. The rice was abysmal. Ditto for Ichiban and the Waka house. Ichiban dumps eel sauce and fried tempura batter over everything. Tsunami is absolute shite. Koto hasn't been good in a decade.

Says our friend just moved here from japan. "Yama is the only thing close to a real sushi restaurant in the city."

David at Wahada is also very good, but the others at wahada aren't as strong. Also, Tom at Kamado's on Sherwood.
