Hello Sushi

This place is simply amazing. Sit at the sushi bar and get friendly with the sushi chefs. They will make basically anything you like anyway you want it. Definitely get the outlaw roll (which I request without rice) and the tuna crisps (OMG!) if you like cilantro. If you’re feeling adventurous, get the oyster shooters. They are not your average oyster shooters, these are actually delicious! Do yourself another favor and don’t leave without trying the eggplant sushi. I know, sounds basic but you have no idea! They will be changing names in January to Umami and will no longer be associated with the other hello sushis which is exciting. They are way more creative than those guys anyway.

Finally got to come back since my last review and everything was still as I remembered, amazing! The spicy miso ramen was a lot better! And this time, we tried the in house green tea crêpe cake dessert. (If you ever had it from lady M in NYC, it’s like that)

Make sure you go to THIS hello, sushi, not to be confused with any of the other locations.
Probably the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. The owner and head sushi chef can customize anything you want upon request. Many of the sauces are in-​house made fresh.

Went for the first time and ordered the Death Valley Roll, The Sexiest Man Roll, and the Who Dat Roll. I have no complaints. Everything was excellent. The rolls were delicious and different. Each sushi restaurant bas their own twist, but theirs is something special.
The staff and sushi chefs were so friendly. I learned about uni while I was there, which was something I had never heard of before. Apparently it’s sea urchin and they get it fresh from time to time for people who like it. So, for those of you who are looking for a place that gets fresh uni, Hello Sushi is your answer.
While I was there, I was even able to meet the owner who was extremely friendly, and he even got behind the sushi bar to help fill orders when they were getting busy. How many restaurant owners do that? This place is going to do great things and I will be returning! Thanks for the great experience, guys!

This place is FANTASTIC. I went there for the first time this weekend and have never been treated so nicely in a restaurant. The owner was always around asking us how we liked our meal and if we needed anything. Not to mention that the food was absolutely superb! I love how their menu isn’t the typical sushi menu and that they have a lot of variety with flavors and ingredients. From my experience, definitely the best sushi place in Baton Rouge, and I love how it’s so close to the LSU campus! It’s also cheap enough for a college student’s budget, so A+++ to the new owner and I can’t wait to go back!

Being from NYC, I haven’t enjoyed a lot of the restaurants I’ve dined at in Baton Rouge. However, Hello Sushi has changed my whole perspective! The food here was some of the best I have ever had. From the ambiance to the amazing dishes created by Chef Cong, this sushi restaurant is a must go to spot for anyone living in Baton Rouge!

I heard there was a new owner so my friend and I decided to check this place out. Can I tell you the sushi was so fresh and the food was amazing! I’ve been here several times since then. The first time we ordered off the menu, Geisha roll and Death Valley roll. The Geisha is still one of my favorite– lots of fresh fish on soy paper. The Death Valley had a lot of fishes too and it’s a bigggg roll. We had also order the Sexiest Man Alive roll, the roll really lives up to its name. So delicious! Another time we came, the head chef– Chef Cong, made us whatever he wanted and everything was on point! Fish was fresh, plates were very creative (I’ve never had feta cheese with sushi but it works!), and so delicious. I highly recommend sitting at sushi bar! Definitely will become a regular here.

Amazingly good sushi and wonderful wonderful service! Our server was Austin he was very good and paid attention to details! Jenny the greeter was wonderful as well! The owner even came by and made positive suggestions! This place is a must do if you love sushi!

This is one of my favorite sushi places in BR. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The food is always tasty but not overly expensive. My husband and I usually share three or four rolls, maybe an appetizer, for less than $ 50 with tax and tip. Our favorite rolls are the Bomb roll and the Go-​Go roll (but only if you eat raw fish)! We would highly recommend the steak teriyaki as well.

Staff is always super friendly when I come to pick up a to go-​order. Love the crab cakes here they’re amazing. Wait staff is amazing too when I dine in.

This place was great. Our server named was Bee and she did such a wonderful job. She was knowledgeable of the menu items and explained them in great detail. She checked up on us often and had a great charismatic attitude. The appetizers tasted great and came out quickly. The chicken teriyaki is very filling and the chicken was tender and juicy. The sushi menu can be very overwhelming with all the options they offer. That’s why I think I need a few more trips to try the rest. The cooks were great and sent us over complementary dessert. Even though I’m not Asian, the entire staff made me feel as I was family. Definitely will be going back again

Sushi is great. They have a elegant atmosphere and very nice staff. A great place to bring colleagues or friends that are visiting from out of town.

Went to Hello Sushi today on lunch break from work and it seemed to be a fairly modern, nice space. I was planning to order takeout so was handed the full menu and a small menu of about 10 special items. I tried to order an item off the small menu and was told that only one item on that menu was available. Then I changed my order to something from the full menu and was told, after payment, that the item I ordered was also unavailable. I understand that sometimes menu items are out and not all staff are notified but there were no other customers in the restaurant and it just seemed they were a bit disorganized. And with such a short break it was a little frustrating. They did give me a discount for the next time I come in and apologized but it is not super likely I will return and get the chance to use the discount. However, the staff was friendly enough and I haven’t had a chance to try the food so I may need to come back and try it.

Probably the worst sushi I’ve had in BR yet. We sat at the sushi bar. The counter was filthy. Our server was unconversational and kind of creepy (he just stared at us.) The rolls were nothing to write home about. They were small. They barely held together. The cream cheese was bland. Wasabi game weak a.f. Other staff members were friendly, so I’ll give them that. Needless to say, there are waaaaay better sushi places in BR.

Baton Rouge is lucky to have hello sushi. The food is great and at a great price! Friendly service also…

Good sushi. Super friendly staff. I got the Johnny Roll and it was impressive. It’s one of their Americanized rolls (it’s huge and deep fried). It easily filled me up. Also got the sushi egg rolls and they were similarly tasty. The restaurant itself is clean and modern. It’s kind of cafeteria/​deli style seating. Overall a good experience.

We tried out Hello Sushi for Restaurant Week and were not disappointed! You can’t beat $ 20 for 3 courses. For appetizer, I got the crabcakes and my husband got the Vietnamese eggrolls. Both were good. The star of the meal was by far the 2^nd course! I had the Who Dat roll and he had the Cajun roll. Wow! They were both so delicious. For dessert, my husband had the fried cheesecake and I had the cake balls. To be honest, I was already so full that I barely touched my dessert. What I did eat was rich and satisfying. My husband loved his. He’s a cheesecake fanatic so he was very happy to get his fix.
Overall, we had a great experience at Hello Sushi and we’ll definitely be returning. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive. I highly recommend taking advantage of the Restaurant Week menu soon!

Menu option is thumbs up! Chef Cong does an amazing job with the variety of dishes! Take a seat at the bar and allow Chef Cong to whip up his creative dishes. Definitely ask him for the geisha w/​a flare! You will not be disappointed in any of his recommendations! Burst of flavor and the presentation is impressive.

Quality of food is decent. I enjoy eating here. I love the theme in their advertisements and their menus! Very happy and exciting! Best sushi in the LSU area without having to make a long drive elsewhere in Baton Rouge.

GREAT Happy Hour right near LSU. 2 for 1 house wine, domestic beer, and sake along with half off several of their appetizers — my favorites of which are the fried mushrooms and the sushi egg roll.
The sushi is always fresh and they usually have unique rolls for their monthly specials — check Facebook or the chalkboard outside before you walk in. My new favorite item is actually not a roll but the Wasabi Salad — a mixture of seaweed salad and squid salad in a wasabi dressing. DYNAMITE.
Nothing fancy, but a great place for a quick lunch or an early dinner. Nice staff and sweet set-​up with inside and outside seating.
