| Forget everything you thought you knew about Japanese restaurants. Sushi lovers are used to quiet, Asian-influenced surroundings with serious sushi chefs practicing their craft. If that is what you are looking for, this may not be your place. But if you want upbeat, fast-moving, loud surroundings with a lot of laughter and partying, Rock ‘n’ Sake is sushi central. The restaurant hit its stride when the sushi craze first reached New Orleans in the 1990s, and a visit today can seem equal parts nostalgia and adventure. Fresh fish and a good selection of rolls overshadow whatever non-food-related quirks the restaurant displays. The rolls even get into the dessert act; how about a panko-crusted, flash-fried PBJ roll nestled in a pool of honey-infused grape jelly? Tempura cheesecake and tempura ice cream round out the sweet set. Beer, wine and saké are offered quaffs. There is an extensive take-out menu, and one that’s very in-theme (no chicken fingers) for “Small Samurai.” |
