Bonzai Sushi Express

This place is horrible. We ordered basic sushi rolls and the rice was old. The rolls were literally falling apart because the rice was so hard. Restaurant was not clean and the service sucked. Want real sushi? Try Asuka Sushi or Tsunami in New Orleans.

This place is a serious bang for your buck! I ordered take out and was given my food in what felt like less than 5 minutes. I ordered the bento #3 (bbq eel roll, 3 sushi pieces, noodle salad, and miso soup), and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Not to mention I got a gorgeous pile of pickled ginger and wasabi. You seriously cannot beat the quality for the price! I'll definitely continue to stop here when I'm in this part of town.

I order this place at least once a week to get my sushi fill! I love it! It has always been fresh. From the outside, it may look a little unsure, not to fear! Great quality and the nicest people. I love the salmon and spicy tuna.

My go to sushi take-out joint. They put a little love in everything they make every time!

Had this place for the first time tonight. Called for takeout at 735pm and the woman who answered had a total attitude -- no pleasure in her voice -- sounded like she was being severely being disserviced by my call. I ordered a Sashimi dinner with tuna, salmon, and California roll. had to repeat myself a few times because she wasn't listening, and she said to be sure I'm there by 8. Cool so my food is going to take 25 mins? Seems long for raw fish but OK. I pull in to the parking lot at 8:01 and I get a call asking if I was coming by because they were closing. That would've been useful to know when I called. Now I know why there was attitude -- I was cutting in to them going home.The person who took my payment did not sound like the same one who picked up the phone - she seemed nicer and was thorough. I pay and head back home to chow down.Presentation was nice (for it being in a to go container) and food looked fresh. There were 16 pieces of sashimi like the menu said, but they were tiny slices. I weighed the fish and it came out to 4.9 oz. For $20 I was expecting regular sized pieces of sashimi (1 oz - 2 oz each). C'est le vie. It tasted fine enough (for Chalmette standards). The California roll was also decent. The miso soup on the other hand was pretty bad -- it tasted like someone put cooking oil in i.Ultimately food was above average but did not have a lot of value. Total nutritional value of the entire meal (sans soy sauce): 520 with 47g protein and 46g carbs.

I had the Sushi Nachos and the Hibachi Rice. The Sushi nachos I had the shrimp chips and snow crab. It was ok. But the hibachi rice was the worse I've had - dry and missing something. I tried to add soy sauce but it didn't take away the taste. :(

Not many sushi options in Chalmette and in the Yelp review of the other one, someone wrote that they found a hair in their edamame so that made narrowing the choice down pretty easy. Nice place. The girl behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I noticed that they had two interesting choices on the menu - a PoBoy Roll and Sushi Nachos (WHAT?!). She said the PoBoy Roll is fried and tastes just like a PoBoy and the Sushi Nacho an appetizer with dipping sauces and such. It was a really long day and I wasn't feeling adventurous so I went with a tried and true. I ordered a Philadelphia Roll. It was delish. Hit the spot. Very fresh. Should be noted that no alcohol is served here and it's a Pepsi place. I could have used that drink but Bonzai Sushi Express is well above average, especially for an express sushi place. If you're in Chalmette and are craving some sushi, it's your best bet but if you want a little hair in your edamame, the other place is down the street.

Bonzai Sushi is so amazingly affordable and delicious. Their bento boxes are such a steal. I love their eel (unagi) nigiri sushi and their noodle salad! Their ordering system is pretty unique for a sushi restaurant where you order at the register and they bring the food to you after.

The service is always top notch!! The sushi tastes like heaven in your mouth! I love the miso soup as well!

I've given this place so many chances and it's let me down every time. Super tiny portions for the price and I've never actually enjoyed it. I spent $100 on sushi tonight and I didn't like one dish.
