Kyoto

I would eat here everyday if I could.

New Orleans has some pretty good sushi restaurants. While I may stray now and again, I haven't found anyplace better than Kyoto.

Located in a mostly residential area in uptown New Orleans, Kyoto is the type of place that you could pass everyday and not even notice...if there wasn't a line out of the door almost every night. The fish is fresh, the sashimi melts in your mouth, and the menu is full of rolls with creative combinations of ingredients. It's relatively affordable and its surprisingly good. Splurge for the larger specialty rolls and you will eat some of the best tasting sushi you have had. The place is usually full, but its worth the wait. Kyoto serves a good, Japanese beer called Hitachino White Ale (similar to Hoegaarden) that goes surprisingly well with sushi.
