Shopping center next to women's and children's across ambassador from Costco development. It's a small place, maybe 8 tables.

I heard Wasabi Sushi next door to Cajun Table was good. Something like $23 all you can eat sushi.

we went today and it was really good. Can’t beat a sushi meal, including appetizers and dessert, for $23. It’s a full menu including 200 items so there’s plenty to choose from.

Whats some good authentic places


Not sure about authentic food but Ruffinos in Lafayette has the most authentic looking women at the bar and paito I've ever seen in my travels. I call on doctor's and that's the only place they want to go. Hot Tails everywhere, unreal

Wasabi. When we went, they didn't yet have their liquor license. We were really wanting wine, so we ordered from the to-go menu so we could just eat at home. Doing it that way cost about half as much as the all you can eat price.

More of a NOLA deal, but any love for Drago's in Lafayette?

Lots of good recommendations in this thread.


French Press deserves to be mentioned more than once. Very good spot.
