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.

omurice
it’s just eggs and rice and ketchup brother. Easy to make at home if you watch a couple videos

not exactly an exotic ingredients list

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.
