Wahada Restaurant

Ugggghhhh such great sushi! I am almost a regular here. I visit this restaurant at least 4 times in a month. This is my favorite visit thus far!
My girlfriend and I just went around 5, and it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night. We were promptly greeted by our waiter who took our drink order.
My usual choice here is to start with a snow crab salad, then a Jerry Roll with Eel Nigiri. This time I decided to go a different route. My girlfriend ordered the snow crab salad while I ordered edamame (always a great choice!). She also ordered Kani Naruto and Salmon Sashimi as her meal while I went with the Sarah Roll, an Eel roll w/​avocado, a salmon avocado roll, and a smoked salmon sashimi.
The food was SO delicious, it probably took less time for us to eat it than how fast it was prepared and served (The food came out very quickly! It seemed that there were more takeout orders than in-​house tonight.).
I recommend anything that Wahada has to offer. Whatever you like ordering at other sushi stops, make sure you order it HERE, because it will make you wonder why you ever ordered sushi anywhere else!

I used to live close by so my roommate and I would come here for happy hour a lot. We would FREQUENTLY crave sushi from here specifically. It’s not the best but it is damn good! Of course we would come for the sushi but I think our favorite part was actually the complimentary cream puff dessert at the end. Service was always good too!

Love this place! Sushi is average but their lunch/​dinner combo with the salmon is a amazing! Good price too.

The Sashimi Deluxe at Wahada was pretty plentiful for the price $ 20 and included ginger dressing salad and miso soup. The salmon and yellowtail were both the standouts of the group, only disappointment was the escolar, which was stringy. We also ordered a salmon avocado roll, which really just melted in your mouth. Certainly worth a try if you’re looking for sushi and choose to avoid a chain like Hello Sushi. Oh, it was not super busy but it still only took less than ten minutes to have everything ready to go, bravo!

Love this place, Very Japanese looking as the first impression. I randomly stop by this place after an awful day, and I ordered my favorite essentials. The food made my day. Fresh, flavorful, nicely served and the price is reasonable.
Should have posted my review long ago, but deep down I probably want to save this little piece of peace for my self. LOL.

This was the perfect lunch place after a morning of moving a college student from one condo to another. The waitstaff was attentive and quick to serve. The place was very very clean and crisp, yet the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. There was much more on their menu than sushi for those not so much interested in sushi. I particularly liked the crab salad with its hint of fresh ginger.

Love, love. Love the Brandi roll. Everything is always fresh and they are super fast. I usually order take out and it’s ready in 10 mins. Prices are also pretty good as well

The best decent priced sushi you can buy at 10pm! Seriously, everyone there is always really nice and accommodating. Their food is all delicious, and you don’t have to empty your wallet over dinner for two. I usually order to-​go, but their dine-​in experience is nice, too. When I order take-​out, I often just call them when I’m on the way, because they’re wicked fast and have it ready by the time I arrive. Love this place!

Wahadas is a nice little sushi restaurant in the LSU area. I have to say I was definitely impressed.
Some notable background information is that I was once a sushi chef while in college :).
I decided to sit outside on my visit and it was a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors and have a nice meal.
Service was good but nothing spectacular. Was a nice gentleman who got our drinks, placed our orders and checked on us every ten minutes or so.
The food was for its price very good. The quality of fish was quite wonderful. Me and my girlfriend shared the sashimi platter. My favorite fishes at this restaurant were the yellow tail, octopus and salmon. All were very fresh and they give you quite generous pieces of fish. My personal favorite fishes in general are usually white tuna and salmon. However, the yellow tail was just so good I have to put it above the white tuna in this situation. I also got a box sushi. Box sushi is basically a sushi in square shape without seaweed or soy paper. They take avocado and snowcrab wrap it in rice in a square shape and put whichever 2 types of sashimi you would like on top. I once again got the salmon and yellow tail and was not dissapointed. All very fresh and very filling although the rice was not much. At the end of our meal we were given complimentary cream puffs for dessert which were nice and refreshing. Overall a great experience! Good for college budget students who love sushi. Best quality for your moneys worth!
PEACE!

I never expect good tasty for me, but here is so nice, especially octopus sallad. I absolutely recommend it for you.

Best bang for your buck around here in regards to sushi. Everything is delicious. I’ve had gyoza, squid salad, baked salmon, California roll, Louisiana roll, crunchy roll, and my personal favorites — snowcrab roll and fried oyster roll.
Sometimes they offer complimentary cream puffs with the check, but I haven’t seen these in the last few times I’ve been here.
Really enjoy the take-​out/​pick-​up feature.

Can’t say enough about this place. I’ve lived in Baton Rouge for almost 4 years now and have been a loyal customer since the first day. The staff is extremely friendly and the sushi is fresh and always served in a timely manner at a very good price. I’ve eaten with my girlfriend many times and received a complimentary dessert on several occasions. Love the wahada fam. Best sushi in Baton Rouge.

Wahada has fresh seafood, reasonable prices, yummy rolls, and kind staff. I’ve been eating here regularly for 2 years and they haven’t disappointed me yet. The atmosphere is casual but they have a lovely outdoor seating area. You’ve gotta try the Brandi roll! This is the highest quality sushi you’re going to get at a restaurant in this price range and sushi-​wise I’d say it’s better than Tsunami.

Wahada is a 100% college-​based restaurant, sitting not far off of the main LSU campus off of Nicholson. Run-​of-​th-​mill sushi bar style setting predominates in terms of décor and service. Staff are mostly college students, but they all know the menu decently well.
It doesn’t matter what you get from the menu. It will be good. On a personal note — try the JERRY ROLL. I’ve been to many places and have tried countless similar dishes trying to find a replacement/​competitor for this roll… none have nailed it.
Overall, Wahada has been a must-​go place whenever I have been in the Baton Rouge area. A broad menu caters to many different tastes and palates.

This place has a fresh sushi, no stinks ! I will definitely go back again. The ramen noodle was ok. Broth they uses clear broth from menu but noodle was pretty good.

Reasonable prices, good service but odd décor and mediocre food.
Stopped in for a quick bite and I was pretty disappointed in the food. I had the fried pork gyoza, tamago, and ramen. The gyoza were nice and crispy but the filling was mostly flavorless. The tamago was sweet and the strip of nori provided a good umami contrast. The other thing I liked about the tamago was that it was able to be easily eaten in one bite. Overall, I liked this presentation.
Now the «ramen» was a clear afterthought on the menu and not even remotely close to being real ramen. From the description, «Ramen noodle soup with stewed pork slices, fish cake, egg, and bamboo shoot.», I thought I was getting in to a traditional tonkotsu base made with roasted pork bones which results in a cloudy, milky broth. This broth was a boxed beef stock that was clear. Bad start. The «pork» was probably beef based on the grain, texture and flavor. It also tasted like it had 5 spice powder which made me think of it more of a Chinese dish as opposed to Japanese. There were no bamboo shoots either. The egg was hard boiled as opposed to soft boiled, but that’s more of a preference than a fault. The fish cake was a bit more assertive than I like but still acceptable. The noodles were OK although I like my ramen slightly undercooked and chewier. Overall, I was really disappointed in this ramen.
Service was fast and courteous. However, I don’t think I would go back. If I could I would give 2.5 stars.

I’m not so sure if I enjoy the food here as much as I should. The quality of food is decent. But the service is very good and the owner is very nice! Prices might be a little more expensive than normal. Environment has a traditional Japanese feel and is typically quieter than others.

Before reading my review: please note that I’m a vegetarian who does not eat seafood! That said, Wahada’s vegetarian sushi (with carrot, cucumber, avocado, and pickled Japanese veggies) is delicious and well made, as is the nigiri (tofu) sushi. Usually if I want fresh vegetarian sushi with flavor, I have to make it myself… I got my meal to go at Wahada and am looking forward to eating out on the patio when the weather cools off.

Let’s just start off by saying I love places that deliver!
I had the combo fried rice, which was packed with beef, chicken, and shrimp. It was really delivious, and i could not stop eating it.
I ordered a couple of rolls that also had great flavor, and they tasted really fresh. I had the spicy tuna roll and the salmon avocado roll.
The prices are great and the delivery driver was very nice. They originally quoted me 30 – 45 minutes, but it ended up only taking about 25minutes which is great for delivery. I can’t even get a pizza from dominos that quick. I will definitely be ordering from them again in the near future when i get the craving for sushi!

Incredible fried rice, big bits of egg, chicken and vegetables. Very very well done.
Also try their blue crab roll
