My coworker and I ordered from here at 6:25PM tonight because we were absolutely famished and craving some sushi. Other sushi spots in Orleans can be pricey for subpar food, so we thought we’d try something new. The 36 piece maki set was ready when it said it would be (about 20-30 minutes), and we easily ate it within 5-10 minutes.
It. Was. Delicious. The rice is less seasoned than other places, but it really allows the flavour of the fish to shine. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, the tempura shrimp and the tempura bits in the spicy salmon roll were crispy and weren’t greasy, and the size of each piece was perfect.
I do wish the spicy mayo came in a slightly larger container, but we were able to eat the whole set and still have some spicy mayo left over. As long as you aren’t dousing your sushi in sauce, you’ll have more than enough for your rolls.
The service was very nice too. The employee made sure to ask if we wanted any chopsticks or sauces, and was super friendly. New Sushi is a small, cozy spot with a cute interior and seats for you to sit in while you wait for your food.
To the reviews complaining about the wait time: If you’re ordering a large quantity of food, you need to be prepared to wait. Good quality sushi takes time to make, especially when the staff have other customers to serve. If you’re concerned about your food being completed on time, then you should be calling ahead well in advance to discuss pick-up times with the staff.
Overall, I would order from New Sushi again. The price was excellent for the amount of food and the quality of ingredients that you get. The photo attached doesn’t even do it justice!
