Little Tokyo - New Orleans, LA

1340 South Carrollton Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70118

We went here on accident, lured in by their private karaoke rooms.  You would think, "with a name like Little Tokyo, it's got to be gross," and you'd be right.  The food was, in fact, pretty bad.  There were no unique or surprising rolls, and the standard ones were definitely below average. 

I feel like it's hardly worth listing what we ordered, it might as well have been:

• Play-Doh Roll
• Plastic Roll
• Stale Mashed Potato Roll

I think we actually got:

• Crunchy Roll
• Special Eel Roll
• Rainbow Roll

Good thing we weren't really hungry and didn't order more.
However, the private karaoke room was a lot of fun for Khya's going away party.  Almost made the sushi forgettable instead of terrible.

Sushi Brothers - New Orleans, LA



1612 Saint Charles Ave

New Orleans, LA 70130

Sushi Brothers on St. Charles is super delicious.  It has even been suggested that if I didn't have such an extreme emotional connection to Shogun, this might be my new favorite.  I'll let that thought marinate.

We started off, as we always do, with 2 bowls of Miso soup.  I only make note of this because the Miso was quite unlike any I've had before.  It was creamy and wonderful.  And the portion was about triple the normal portion size we usually see for soups.

We ordered:

• Cruncy Roll
• Yami Yami Eel Roll
• Special Brothers Roll
• Calamari Crunch Roll
• Bye Bye Katrina Roll

We normally order more than that, but the waiter advised against it, rightfully so.  The rolls were large and wonderful.  Even the Crunchy Roll was overstuffed with goodness.  The calamari was unlike any sushi I've ever had.  I was expecting fried calamari, but instead it was steamed, giving the roll a very interesting texture.  I would go back to Sushi Bros in a heartbeat.  I have no complaints whatsoever.

All I'm left wondering is WHY would anyone go to Miyako or Hoshun for sushi when Sushi Brothers is right across the street?!

Kanno - Metairie, LA

Kanno California Shusi Bar is, without a doubt, one of the most adaquate sushi places at which we´ve ever eaten. The sushi is above average, but above average in the sense that Sarah Palin has an above average education. Not exactly somthing to be proud of, but they do rise above most of the field, even it if it just because of the failure of the public school system.

We ordered:

• Crunchy Roll
• Spider Roll
• Protein Roll
• Eel something
• Rainbow maybe?

The Spider monkey roll was hard to eat because of the spider-like shape of the roll (note: I don´t mean difficult to eat on a manual level. What´s difficult about it is remembering it´s not a spider, it´s a crab.) but the inside was deep fried, warm and delicious.

The crunchy rolls were wrapped in rice stickier than Christina Aguilera looks, and was by far tastier than I´d imagine she tastes. Good, but not great.

The protein roll was not wrapped in rice, but soy paper. They basiclly stuffed it with the inside parts of a crunchy roll - always a good idea. I like to do that to myself at every oppertunity. Stuffing my insides with crunchy rolls here was a plesant experience. They were above average, but, again, I think that´s because most places just don´t make sushi very well. The service was adaquate.

Overall this place is reminiscent of a below average blowjob - it´s not amazing, but it´ll get the job done, AND comes with a very satisfying ending. I supposed, aptly so, that not everyone will get to experience an ending such as the one we got. If you´re lucky, and the owner likes the look of you, and the stars align properly during a solar flare intense enough to send gamma radiation to the earth, you just might be treated with the frozen fudge squares of godliness. These things are little frozen fudge squares that take like orgasams. Seriously. Not everyone gets them; we speculate that it has to do with secret Yakuza ties and an attempt to please a sun god.
