Daiwa

OMG is all I can say...ok actually there's more. I went to Daiwa with my friend and his daughter after church and we totally pigged out. Since it was my first time and they're regulars, I let them order and they picked all of the best items on the menu. They ordered the shrimp tempura, spicy kimchi udon (my favorite), the butter baked scallop with garlic butter sauce (sooo good), Hamachi Kama( broiled Yellow Tail neck) with white rice and the sea salt white fish sashimi (amazing). I ordered the marine roll just because- everything we had was phenomenal. I was absolutely wowed and I'm now, a life long fan of Daiwa! This was an authentic Japanese experience and I can say that as someone who's been to Japan and had authentic Japanese food. We enjoyed a very calm, clean minimalist setting and food that I'll be thinking about until I can get back to the restaurant for more. My friends new knew our server personally and she provided excellent service. I would 100% recommend Daiwa in Marrero. It was phenomenal.

OK, still lovin' it! Small Wednesday to go order of a Two Face Roll, no wasabi anywhere, a house salad with ginger dressing and an order of spring rolls. $27.46 with tax before tip. Ready when I walked in, friendly service, perfect portions. What's not to love?

I've been here a few times because it's close to a friends house. It's not aesthetically pleasing by any means and there's always 1-2 gnats flying around every single time I go. The sushi is always tasty though. I really enjoy the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer that they have at this location. (They don't have it at the Metairie location)

Daiwa had such fresh sushi and so many different kinds of rolls and sushi to choose from! A friend and I shared the squid steak and it was freshly served as soon as it was made. I ordered two rolls - one was a salmon roll and another was one of their special creations. A friend ordered a crunchy roll with shrimp that was topped of with lemon and it tasted great. Everything was so freshly made. In addition to their numerous sushi roll options, they also have lunch and dinner specials. The menu is huge so I'll definitely be coming back in the future to try some other items as well!

The food is always consistently delicious there. Best Japanese fried rice on the westbank.

We came for an early dinner at 4:30 on Saint Patricks day. There were plenty of tables and no wait, but an hour later the tables were filling up. The decor is lovely, creative and tasteful. Everything was spotless and clean. We started with a bottle of Pino Grigio, the edamame and seaweed salad. We are from the west coast and a sauced edamame was something different for us - deep flavor, spicy and so delicious. I could drink it. I suggested to our wonderful server, Josh, that they should make a bloody mary from that sauce recipe. Delicious! Later, we ordered several rolls. The Peppered Tuna, Tsurai Special, Softshell Crab Roll, a Rock & Roll and a Crawfish Roll. All were excellent - fresh, succulent, delightfully crafted and served with care and with pride. Again, the sauces - especially the sauce for the Peppered Tuna and the edamame are worth asking for on the side. We preferred them to the usual soy sauce and wasabi. Altogether, a perfect sushi dinner in a lovely restaurant.

Daiwa is my absolute favorite sushi spot on the Westbank. The food is always fresh and I never have any major issues with service. It's my go-to spot for a quick and light lunch or dinner. Full transparency: I've never dined in, only done take out, but each time it's well packaged and incredibly delicious. Nonetheless, I don't think I've had anything that I didn't like from Daiwa. The sushi is of course delicious, but their noodle dishes, egg rolls, potstickers, and soup are yummy too.

Foods are great, and the drinks are unique with diverse options to choose. Service is good & fast as well. Ambiance is nice, suitable for hanging out with friends, family and dating The cons: expensive than expected

Best sushi in the New Orleans area! The Hamachi cheek was phenomenal. The fish was very fresh and flaky

Ordered one dish, they gave me the wrong item. Called to see if they can rectify Their mistake and the Service was NOT PLEASANT at all. As a long-term, return customer I have never experienced the service they gave today! Gave many excuses why the mistake that happened on their behalf couldn't be fixed. Unfortunately, I Won't be returning!
