Poseidon

I’m not really a sushi person. But this place really had good food. Brand new and nice staff.

The food was fine. Nothing special. The delivery was a disaster. I called at 11:35 and they said it would take about 20 minutes to cook and 15 to deliver (I am 15 minutes away). However, it took them 80 minutes. Everything was off temp. The delivery guy was nice enough, but I couldn’t help but laugh when he pulled up in his Porsche.

Was driving down St Charles and notice this new sushi spot. So I decided to make RSVP for New Year’s Eve and upon arriving we were greeted with friendly service. We asked to sit at the booth, which was an odd arrangement. You had to slide out the table to be seated in the booth. That was the only downfall. Our server Mary was super sweet. As for starters, we order the charbroiled oysters, which are to die for. Beats blind pelicans charbroiled oysters! The coconut shrimps were yummy also. And the baked salmon! As for sushi rolls, we ordered the super crunch, the cowboy roll, and the posiedon. All were a hit. We will be back tomorrow to check out the karaōke room. =) It is street parking but we didn’t have a problem finding one. The restaurant was pretty spacious with plenty of seating area.

Ended up with a menu for Poseidon on our steps and decided to give it a try for dinner; however, would love to go back for lunch because the lunch special seems like a great value (2 rolls, soup and salad for $ 8.50).
We spoke to our waitress a bit and she said they have had a slow start, I am not too surprised, since there are so many well known places on St. Charles and Poseidon is a bit set back from the street. I’m sure they’ll be packed just because of their location during mardi gras. Try it before then!
We had three rolls and they were all delicious. St. Patrick, Snow White and a Salmon Avocado. We also started off with the Sushi Tower. I would highly recommend all of them. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were large and moderately priced with different sauces — you didn’t even need soy sauce. Our waitress was new but made good suggestions throughout our ordering.
The one thing I will say is I’m not sure if they know what they’re trying to be. The sushi was very good, and I think they could succeed if more people knew about this place as a sushi joint. The problem is they also have very random other things on their menu like shrimp pasta and a caprese salad. Even the oysters are a bit random, especially when there are so many places around known for them. Also as another reviewer mentioned, the boots are so strangely designed so you have to move them before sitting down — not a deal breaker especially if they aren’t crowded, but awkward none the less.
Give it a try! Stick to the rolls. Very good.

Great Service, Fresh and unique Sushi options, and amazing martinis! I’ve been to all the sushi restaurants in the city, and this is my new found favorite!

Jordan is so awesome!!! The drink Street Car is so delicious to the pallet! The sushi is amazing and they custom make rolls to your liking! When in the NO stop in for a real treat. Enjoy!!!

The people are so nice, the food is very good. We went to the Karaōke room, had our delicious meal and continued our night with sake and Karaōke !! What a memorable night .
We ordered many sushi rolls, appetizers, soup and everything was great and the dessert was very very good.

Really liked this place. We were staying at the hotel across the street and ended up stopping in 3 times, once for lunch, once for afternoon oysters & once for dinner while in town on vaca.
Oysters blew me away (even by NOLA standards) raw were sooooo fresh, cooked ones tender and way tasty!
Sushi rolls at the bar for lunch special were fresh & well prepared.
We actually had a steak (and more oysters) when we stopped in for dinner. First rate.
Service was friendly & prompt. When the new waitress didn’t get something perfect with my order, the owner was johnny on the spot and made it right. Ended up visiting with the owner and had a lovely chat about the challanges opening a new place in NOLA.
Well worth your visit!

I went here based on the other great reviews which I’m now convinced were either staged or they’ve had a complete staff turnover. The food was ok, oysters raw and fried were tasteless even with lemon and horseradish. They gave me a complimentary char grilled oyster after my meal, and it was actually good!
The sushi and rolls were mediocre and small portions. The salmon was NOT melt in your mouth like the other reviewers mentioned. The miso soup was good and so was the wine (at $ 7/​glass).
Also, the booth seating is super weird. You pretty much HAVE to move the table or bench to get in and we are not large people!
Anyway, it was ok but I wouldn’t come back.

What a treat. Showed up with a party of 6 the night after Christmas and our party was offered one of their karaōke rooms. Changed the whole vibe of the night for us. They were so kind and showed us everything we needed to use the karaōke machine and the waiter was so attentive while allowing us to have our space. Great sushi too– large chunks of fresh salmon in my simple salmon roll! Sake flowing. The karaōke room was so much fun– we sang for 3 hours! We couldn’t get enough. Great for a party with a group of people. Highly recommended!

The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I have only eaten there once. Excellent sushi and service. We were suspicious about eating here since we stayed right across the street and it was not busy at all, but we found out it just opened recently. We had four different sushi rolls and all were very good.

This is a quaint new wonder on a St. Charles. The hubby and I had a date here the other day and had a PHENOM time. I want to go back with a group and rent the karaōke room. How cool???
The chargrilled oysters were FAB! The bartender made great specialty cocktails and it was empty. Hopefully the business picks up soon. I really don’t like driving around for parking. Life SUCKS! If I get to the point of driving around for FREE parking for more than 10 minutes, I would go SOMEWHERE with parking like Waffle House. Parking all over the place there…

Surprisingly good chargrilled oysters. I would recommend if you’re staying in the area.

The front of house was excellent and all were very friendly and took great care of me. The sushi menu wasn’t very inspiring and the three rolls I had were small with little fish and rather mediocre in flavor. The only item that seemed different from other sushi options in the area is they offered «Scottish salmon» which I’m not sure if it really is from Scotland or just how they describe it as it tasted like all other salmon I’ve had. This might be the only sushi restaurant in the area to only have a regular bar and not even have a sushi bar. I think they might want to give up on the sushi idea and focus on other seafood dishes. This would be on the bottom of my list for sushi in the area and while it’s not bad it just isn’t as good as the other options. The lagniappe grilled oyster I was given was the best thing I ate and it was well executed.

My son and I had lunch here and it was great. I am very picky as to where I eat sushi but by far this place is good. We had 4 different rolls and chargrilled oysters.
Service and environment was very pleasant.

Wake up NOLA. I just had a fantastic meal at Poseidon Restaurant. It is located at the Carol condominium on St. Charles Ave., at it’s own separate entrance. Food was good, fresh and plentiful, ice cold beer. Great bar and great karaōke.
You must try this place.

Three and a half stars. The chef’s sushi lunch special is a great deal. Miso soup, salad, and assorted sushi for under $ 11.
The place has all the ambiance of a hotel restaurant, which is to say very little at all. And the host kept calling me sweetheart which really grates. But my server was a pleasant, helpful guy.

Went here for lunch with the crew a few days ago.
I ordered the sushi and did not regret it at all.
The fish was delicious and fresh with minimal sauce so you could actually taste it.
To top it off the spicy tuna IS NOT tuna purée. its whole pieces of delicious tuna with great spice on it.
They also currently have a lunch special that for around 8.50 you get 2 rolls (non specialty) and a miso soup!
Can’t beat that lunch price.
The other things on the menu that the crew ordered looked amazing and there were no complaints from anyone.
I will be back… especially for that lunch special.

Great Oysters! Great Staff! The white tuna with kiwi «Melonette Escolar» is very good! I’ll definitely be back to try more off their menu. Ah and they have Karaōke rooms!

I am so pleased to have this great new restaurant in the neighborhood.
This is a great place to come for a business lunch or a nice dinner. The sushi options are varied and all sound delicious, as do the entrees. The service was friendly and professional.
I had the lunch special (soup, salad and rolls for $ 8.50), which was a great value. I loved the bbq eel, but can’t say the yellowtail is what I had expected (it was cooked). Plenty of options, and so much to try!
