Ginger Lime

This place is fantastic. Jay creates beautiful Sushi plates. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the best in NOLA.

Recently relocated and joined up with their sister restaurant, CreAsian @ 930 Canal Street. By far the best sushi in the Quarter! They also deliver! Their delivery guys are great so treat them well.

Decided to stop here for a quick eat. It was a nice atmosphere with the doors open and all, so you could feel a breeze, and service was really good (we were the only ones in there). The sushi was ok. We ordered a Philly roll and a Spicy Tuna roll. I wouldn’t say they were terrible, yet a little soggy in my opinion and the Tuna was a little mushy. Also, the waitress gave us each a little chocolate with our check, so that was a nice little touch. I wouldn’t say I am dying to eat here again, but I would probably stop in again if I’m around these parts and craving sushi.

I finally have decided to comment after too much ridiculousness from Ginger Lime over the last few months. I will start by saying when you can actually get their sushi, it is quite good. The time I ate in there it was dead empty, though there was a 20% off sign outside. That really didn’t matter apparently because our waitress forgot to add the discount then huffed when we mentioned it as we got our bill.
I was surprised at first that the place was empty with such a great deal going on, but then saw a waitress literally take a phone that was ringing and immediately hang it up. What a great foreshadowing to a couple of weeks later when I try to order in some take-​out! Tried calling over and over for 45 minutes, and then again over an hour after that (for giggles, you know)— only to be greeted by a busy tone… every time. I gave up and ordered Yuki just down the street. A few weeks later, I gave another shot at ordering food for delivery. Someone picked up and asked me to hold… Waited on the line for 15 minutes (put it on speaker and listened to it rustle around in someone’s pocket apparently) before I heard some incoherent mumbling while I kept yelling HELLO HELLO. They hung up on me. I called immediately back, sat through many rings, before a woman answered finally and then, only then, did I find out that Ginger Lime has decided not to deliver outside of the «literal» French Quarter (I have had friends get delivery in the past to the Marigny). I was on Royal and Esplanade, «literally» I can see The «literal French Quarter» from my window. But she made up for it by calling me «sweetie» before hanging up. I might be hanging up on Ginger Lime at this rate. The food is relatively solid. But there are many similar, consistently good sushi restaurants for anyone to deal with this service. End rant.

This was a surprising find… excellent sushi near the French Quarter! We went hear based on a friend’s recommendation and I was so pleasantly surprised.
The place was almost empty around 8pm on a Sunday night, but service was nice and the roll I ordered was wonderful. I ordered the Burning Woman roll and a cucumber salad. Everything was fresh and not overly sauced. I may have to go back for another visit before I leave.

The food here is good but the delivery service is terrible! Every time we order food, it comes very late so the food is cold!

Last day in New Orleans and we had a taste for Sushi. This place was a little hidden. You might walk right past it and never notice it, but we are glad we did. It may not be bustling and packed like other places, but take a chance and you won’t be disappointed. Service was friendly and prompt. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and excellent. Beer is either Kirin or Sapporo.

We love this place! Gingerlime is super convenient for us since we work in the quarter. Delivery time usually takes 30 minutes or less. Tuna box is where it’s at. Two thumbs up! xoxo, Salon Diversions

I tried this place on the recommendation of a friend and I really liked it. Both times I’ve been, the service has been great and so has the food. The sashimi and sushi I had was good enough that I didn’t want to use soy sauce or wasabi on it.
The happy hour discount (20% off) made the already decent prices an even better deal too!

Ordered two specialty rolls and they were pretty good! Fish tasted fresh, nice presentation. Service was slow, but I didn’t expect it to be fast– no restaurants are fast in this city.

The best! Sushi is so fresh, everything is delish! Even have Phở, and Bahn Mi which is great as well. I have had it all! Quick delivery and friendly. My favorite to order from !!

Amazing Asian fusion which my whole family enjoyed! Check out my pictures and you’ll see what I mean.

Do not order the chicken teriyaki. There wasn’t any teriyaki sauce. The chicken wasn’t seasoned, over cooked, and dry.
The miso soup was really good.
The customer service was great. The staff and management were apologetic that the chicken was bad and made amends.

This is a secret I’ve been sitting on for a while now. When I realized I hadn’t posted a review yet, I realized I’d better spill the beans…
I like to meet friends here before a show at HOB. There I said it.
It’s the perfect spot to fill up on delicate, tasty morsel of Japanese yumminess and enjoy well-​crafted cultural inspired cocktails before rocking out. The sushi is fresh. The wait staff is accommodating and friendly. When you’re done, stumble over to HOB to enjoy the show!

Gooooood sushi! Had no complaints between ten girls which is impressive. Didn’t give it 5 stars because it was a Saturday night during jazz fest and they had one server! By the time we were ready to go, almost every table was full and our server had a hard time keeping up (anyone would!) More staffing please!

Great little off-​the-​beaten-​path sushi bar! Exceptionally clean & friendly, with delicious rolls. Don’t miss the Dome & the Hurricane!

Good option in the French Quarter for sushi. Cute atmosphere and vibe, however we got the feeling that they are still working out the kinks a bit. Our waiter did not seem familiar with the menu and kept having to ask this sushi chef.
Food was good. Lots of fried. Wish there were more veggie options, maybe a non fried tofu?
The rolls we did have were great and well crafted. Once they find their groove and get into a routine it will probably get much smoother, service and knowledge wise.

It’s sushi. There’s not a lot of vegan stuff on the menu, but you can definitely get a meal here. The place itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing in a way that went well with my cyberpunk novel, and the service is wonderful.
Vegan: avocado rolls, cucumber, possibly asparagus and sweet potato (do not eat the eel sauce, duh).
Gluten-​free /​wheat free: do not get the sweet potato roll, it’s battered.

I was wondering the streets of the French Quarter looking for a place to eat something somewhat healthy. I had already been in NOLA for 5 days eating all the bad things that everyone recommended, it was time for something different.
SUSHI! Yes!
I walked into Ginger Lime and I was a bit concerned that I was the one and only patron in the restaurant, but I sat at the bar and figured I’d give it a try.
I was quickly greeted and given a menu and a glass of water. I ordered some hot tea and the Chirashi bowl. The server came out with a lovely box of bagged teas for me to choose from and a glass of hot water. The sushi in my bowl was fresh, had a clean taste and a nice presentation. My Chirashi came with miso soup and a salad. I wasn’t a fan of the salad dressing but the soup was very tasty.
The manager and owner both chatted with me and made me feel very welcomed in the restaurant. Although I only ordered a sushi bowl, they hooked me up with a bunch of samples! Awesome! I tried the ‘nachos’ which were cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. I also had a small seared fish with a light soy/​teriyaki sauce, which had a slight kick to it. I don’t think that was on the menu but it was good and hopefully they make an appetizer option for it. The sushi chef made me this cute and tasty little sushi bite — I think it had cream cheese, salmon, cucumber and a little roe all delicately placed atop a tiny little square of toast. YUM! I could have eaten like 10 of those!
If you want to take a break from the creole/​cajun, super fried, super fatty but delish food and go with something just as good and maybe a little better for you, check out Ginger Lime. It’s right across the street from the House of Blues. Good spot to start your night.

My bestie and I had an amazing time on bourbon street and was on the search for some Asian food to help kill the buzz.
We ran into Ginger Lime. From the outside it just seemed like another shop in New Orleans, once you walk in, the atmosphere really change. It is very well designed and decorated. It felt very airy and not congested. A beautiful escape from the tight crowd on the streets.
Once seated, the adorable waitstaff right away offered us drinks and is very sweet, I asked what she recommended and she states her favorite is the samurai. Funny because I thought of ordering the samurai before she had even mentioned it.
It’s a dish I always order in Rhode island from many sushi restaurants. Once the order came out I was a bit confused. It looked like some thing else, and was I glad. Once that first bite reached my taste buds, I was actually speechless. The girl who always has something to say about every dish became a mute because all I wanted to do was stuff my face. Amazing!
The owner came by to talk to us (Steve) he suggested we try his new creation, one dish that does not even have a name yet. So he went into the kitchen like a mad scientist and came out with this dish– which the presentation alone I am wowed by, the first bite again mmmmm I was in the «shut up don’t talk to me, just let me eat» mode. Then i had some soup and that too was full of flavor and normally I don’t care for soup but I was taking it all in.
From atmosphere, service and FOOD, I have nothing bad to say. This place was only opened for a month so far but impresses me.
At the end of the meal my friend told me to drink some water since I ate like a wild pig. Instead of drinking, I spilled it all over my shirt and pants. Omg it looked like I peed myself, since it was late I told my friend we should just call a cab. It’s too mortifying to walk around like that. The places I called wouldn’t pick us up. The owner was so sweet, he didnt know the situation but was kind enough to flag a cab for us and made sure we got in safe. Its like he read my mind. That is top notch service. I’m so impressed. I’m back in RI now and wish I can bring back those flavors. This restaurant experience, will always stick in my good memory department. I want to go back to Louisiana just for Steves Samurai and special. I could only imagine how amazing the other dishes may be…
Steve if you ever read this review, just want you to know you have mad skills, and can really flip that kitchen upside down. Thank you for the best sushi EVER!
