Looked all up and down and couldn’t find any place that has it on the menu, Reddit post said the only place that used to serve it closed down long ago

I would love it but I seriously doubt anyone in La does it at all, let alone just NOLA.
You probably need large cities with very large Japanese pops like NY, LA, Chicago, SF, Vancouver to find it

Not in New Orleans.
SF, NYC, or LA, easy find.

Become a regular at Nagomi and see if you can get Koz to do it for you.

The problem with Japanese food in Louisiana is there are very few actual Japanese chefs in Louisiana, and even fewer restaurant owners. If the chefs or owners are east asian, they're more frequently Vietnamese, Korean, or Chinese.
So you'll see gyoza and edamame and teriyaki and tempura and ramen, but you almoat never see simple things like omurice or onigiri or chawanmushi, or Japanese style ramen, curry, or sandwiches, like you would at a cafe in Japan. Hell, most places here only do chicken katsu, but pork cutlet (tonkatsu) is much more common over there (at least, it was in Tokyo and the Kansai region around Osaka).
Like Fun Bunch said, if you find a Japanese chef like Kaz (the "a" is an "ah" sound in Japanese) and get to know them, they may be willing to make it for you. And if that doesn't work, omurice is easy enough to learn to do at home, if you want to.

What are you talking about? Every grocery store I go into has a stable of trained sushi chefs on staff, meticulously rolling the sushi, slicing the tuna with their Hanzo knives and pressing the ginger harvested from the hardest rock faces of Shizuoka.

We just got a great little place in SWFL. My husband & I have fallen in love with the Japanese "sandwiches". It is a very clean, cute, tiny place that sells random toys, along with sushi, ramens, etc. But these $7 sandwiches are awesome -
Nori (seaweed paper) for the "bread"
A square of Japanese rice
Veggies like avocado, cucumber
Fish/Meat/Chicken if you want
An egg patty
Then they partially reverse that to the other side. It comes with great dipping sauces. I had never encountered this before and we really enjoy it!
I think, for the price, it isn't even worth making at home, although it would be easy and fun.

Looks good. The “egg patty” looks to be tamagoyaki.

can you tell us what restaurant that is just to look up the menu

And the protein looks like fatty BBQ eel, unless I'm off-base.

There's a new place on Magazine that is specializing in Onigiri as well as sushi. You could always ask
