Sushi?

Question

I have no idea, but partner will want a break from Cajun/Creole.

Are there any casual sushi places for lunch in or walking distance from the Quarter?

I have other food questions, but I'll ask those another time.

Answer

If you're looking for a break from Cajun and Creole food and craving some sushi in or near the French Quarter, you're in luck! New Orleans has a few casual sushi spots that are within walking distance from the Quarter, offering a great variety of fresh sushi and other Japanese dishes. Here are a few options to consider:

Sake Cafe (French Quarter) – This is a local favorite for casual sushi and Japanese dishes. It's just a short walk from the French Quarter and offers a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great spot for lunch. They have a solid sushi menu with both traditional and creative rolls, plus a variety of bento boxes and other lunch options.
Masaru Sushi (Chinatown District) – Located a bit outside the Quarter but still within walking distance, Masaru Sushi is a no-frills sushi spot known for its fresh fish and generous portions. It’s a great choice for those looking for an authentic sushi experience without the fuss.
Shoya (Warehouse District) – About a 15-minute walk from the French Quarter, Shoya offers a great variety of sushi and Japanese small plates in a casual setting. It’s a little off the beaten path but worth the short walk, especially if you're craving high-quality sushi with a fun vibe.

These spots should provide a nice respite from the traditional New Orleans flavors while still keeping you close to the French Quarter. Enjoy your sushi break!
