V Sushi & Martini

Great spot away from the Bourbon St… beautiful ambience, great music, fabulous bartender.

very bad service and extremely pricey and it took them 45min to bring a plain veg roll out and 15min latter the took out a seconded roll that i never oderrf they made a mistake and i ask to speak to someone in charge he was rude and nasty and me snd my husband where the only two in the restaurant so it shoukd have never took two hrs for one roll.

Horribly bad experience! Ill prepared food and total disregard for food restrictions /​allergies resulting in sickness!!!
My wife has Celiac’s so we are very careful about the places we go to eat and what/​how we order. We asked if they had Gluten free soy sauce but they did not which wasn’t a huge deal because we carry the Soy Sauce packets just for this situation.
We ordered our standards, Salmon sashimi, tuna, yellowtail and salmon nigiri and a Spicy tuna roll.
To say the service was slow is and understatement! Besides a single person at the bar and another couple that came in AFTER we did, the place was wide open so it wasn’t like they were swamped.
We finally received our food and immediately it is apparent that our waiter’s lack of writing anything down when we were ordering was a failure to communicate because we received Tuna sashimi instead of Salmon. But, hey, we could order more and it wasn’t such a big deal. But that was just the beginning of the disaster.
One piece of nigiri had bones in it! Yes bones!!! Another had a fish scale under the meat. And to top it all off, my wife got the first piece of the spicy tuna roll and immediately knew something was wrong but wasn’t quit sure what. I take a bite and realize it is a spicy, fried crawfish roll!!!
Needless to say, we immediately left right after informing the manager but of course the damage for my wife is done as I watch helpless as she is sick today from the Gluten within the crawfish roll.

Just don’t go in. Horrible experience all the way around. Bad service, the sushi had bones and scales in it, and our server and bar staff were sooooo slow and brought us the wrong food for about half of our order. Completely unacceptable. We discussed the issues with the manager and he was concerned but just not nearly enough. I would give zero stars if I could.
Update: I was glutened here. Zero regard for gluten free even though that was discussed with the server. One whole day of vacation gone because of this restaurant. Gluten free isn’t just a fad or cute for some us. I have celiac disease and I go above and beyond NOT to be the butthole customer.

Fun atmosphere and incredible food! The calamari appetizer was awesome, loved the sauce that came with it. The crab meat salad had jumbo lump crab meat — AMAZING. The seabass roll was tasty. Cheesecake for dessert. The lychee martini was very good and the lychee Bellini was FaBuLoUsss. I look forward to going back and trying other items on the menu. I left completely satisfied without being miserable full. We had all of that for $ 70, but could have easily racked up a much higher bill.

The place is pretty cute. Food is pretty good. I had the lamb and the duck salad. The duck was pretty good but the lamb was a little bland. Over all it’s a nice place for a date.

Alright, I’m optimistic. It’s that place you aren’t sure about coming into! The staff that seats you is highly entertaining. I’ll say they try, in the service aspect is lacking. My only issue was the appetizers came out before we got our bottle of wine. It was very slow inside, and the food came out VERY quickly which was great. I think it’s def priced high BUT WELL worth every dime. We ordered the lobster tempura, and it was good. We shared the shrimp and scallops and it was amazing. I had to ask for my salad (which I wanted out first) it didn’t come til the end. It was good but timing again was off. If they picked up on their service end this place would be 5 stars. The obeisance is ok. We decided to come here Bc there was a line out the door for every other place. All in all it was good! Everything everyone ordered was delicious.
Salmon=amazing
They included gratuity which is fine. Spent 145 $ on a bottle of wine, salad, app, and shared a meal. It wasn’t too bad at all :)

Such a fun place! We came for my birthday and Michelle was sweet enough to put us (2 people) at this huge table clearly for 6 or 7 people usually that had a couch just so we could be comfy. The atmosphere is perfect for s couple date. Very very intimate and sensual. We split a bottle of wine that the bough out promptly. And then stated off with the lobster egg roll. OH MY LORD!!! Those were absolutely divine. My new favorite thing. And so different than anything! Then we split two rolls. The dragon and the ninja. A TONNNNN OF FOOD!!! You wouldn’t expect just ordering an appetizer and two sushi roll that it would be filling for two people, but we couldn’t even finish the sushi. We were stuffed. But it was delicious and we tried our best to finish it! Next Michelle helped us find and couple of fun different things to do after dinner instead of just parading down burbon street and doing the normal bar hop. We found some fun different things that weren’t as touristy. She toured us around the whole restaurant and showed is the private room. Fun fact Juvenile (a rapper) show one of his videos called mountains there in the private room. Most gorgeous chandelier and all white everything. She was so sweet and fun to talk to us about everything and tell you about things that you’re not going to hear from other people about New Orleans. If you want something exciting and out of the box from the typical fried seafood. This is the place. It’s a fun club type atmosphere and a great change from everything else. This place will definitely always be a stop when we come back to New Orleans. And if your lucky enough to have Michelle there, she will make your night wonderful. Me and my boyfriend couldn’t have had a better end to our trip thanks to this delicious meal and wonderful, well informed, fun woman! Can not wait to make a stop here when we come back for New Years!

Eh. Not the best food, service was friendly, but entered and delivered orders incorrectly. Decent house music. Nice décor. The place was completely empty (Monday in August). Restrooms were clean. Nice for a martini, but I do not recommend the place for food.

One of the best sushi rolls I have ever had! Ordered the red dragon? I think that’s what I was called. Also had two Martinis– the cucumber refresher and the Cosmo. Both delicious. Bartender was super sweet.

I was surprised at the few true sushi places in the French Quarter but this place has it going on. Our bartender was Michelle who was really fun and told my wife and I all about herself and how much she loves her job which is great for any restaurant to know.
Now, on to the food. It was terrific. I ordered the Rainbow Roll which was a good-​sized amount of sushi. My wife ordered the Yellowtail Carpaccio and then went with the Baked Salmon Roll wich Michelle recommended. Both were hits and the Salmon Roll was large enough that most people probably would need to eat each piece in two bites. My wife loved it.
My wife enjoyed the V Bar Martini and the Pinot Grigio I ordered was good. Michelle really made it a nice experience. She even hit the small touches that good bartenders fail to ask like «Do you want a cold glass with your Chimay?» I notice things like that.
Two drinks apiece with the food ended up around $ 100-​$ 120 including the tip which is about right.

I finally stopped in for some sushi after work and I’m so happy that I did. The service was actually really awesome despite what I read in previous reviews. I’m a huge fan of great service and truly believe it can make or break a dining experience. The food was nicely presented and tasted pretty good. The prices are a little high BUT that’s expected in the FQ. Overall, the fun atmosphere, awesome service, and pretty good food made it a positive experience.
I would love to go back with a group for a birthday or bachelorette party type of thing… I forgot to mention that their drink menu is tempting!

If you’re over the Bourbon street grind, and have minimally 3 hours to spare for a dining experience, make your way to V Sushi & Martini.
Upon entering, there was no wait time, and we were quickly seated by an extremely friendly, charismatic, and enthusiastic host. The ambiance and décor resembled a Miami nightclub fused with a Japanese geisha house. Very different feel from the typical New Orleans restaurant atmosphere.
Service:
The cocktail menu contains a lengthy Martini list, to which I confidently say…” Choose with caution”. You should predetermine whether you plan on walking out or being carried out on an ambulance stretcher. These drinks will take you from «hey,» to «heeeeeyyyy» in the blink of an eye. You are for-​warned.
The servers were all nice, knowledgeable about the food and drinks. However, nervous and easily intimidated by our questions. It was also quickly apparent, that this establishment does not operate with any sense of urgency. Estimated time for cocktail order to table was approximately 25 – 30 minutes.
On to the food.
Once again, no sense of urgency. After making your meal choice, expect to wait at least 45 minutes for any part of your order to be served. At this point, your cocktails have had time to marinate and work their way through your bloodstream, until everything suddenly becomes comical.
You spot Snoop Dogg serving the table at your right, DJ Pauly D on the turn tables in the front and center of the restaurant, and a B-​list celebrity interview being conducted right behind your table. You start thinking to yourself, «Is this real life?», or is this just the alcohol sitting at the very bottom of your empty, empty stomach speaking. Then you quickly remember that you’re still waiting for the food you ordered, or any part of it, to finally make it’s way to your table.
Ninja Sushi Roll– the first to arrive 60 minutes into our dining experience. The flavor was fantastic on this servers choice dish. The pieces on this roll were very generous in portion size, the avocado was fresh, and the sauce was phenomenal in flavor, color, and aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend this dish!
California Roll– the opposite of everything you’re accustomed to about this very common roll. This one lacked any type of flavor or texture. It was bland, and quite honestly, boring. You had to douse it in soy sauce, just to be able to get it down. This was the low light of our meal.
Rainbow Roll– the texture and flavor were definitely there. It was, additionally, aesthetically pleasing. The equal balance of ingredients in the roll were close to perfect. This roll would be ideal for those with a palate that appreciates flavor without an overwhelming spice.
Baked Salmon Roll– the anticipation of this highly recommended dish was every bit of satisfying and may even overshadow the delightful textures of both the ninja and rainbow rolls! In the words of my dining partner, «this was the icing on the effing cake!» However, before enjoying this 1 hour and 30 minute prep time dish, be sure to give it time to cool as our mouths are still recovering from 3^rd degree (at least it feels like such) burns that may have wiped out all existing taste buds.
Edamame– just hand this right back to the server, you don’t want to waste valuable stomach space with this flavorless and lackluster veggie.
Final remarks: the food is way above average but has its weak dishes. 3 out of 4 rolls would absolutely reappear if I were to return to this place. I gave three stars because the food was excellent overall but the service lacked in urgency. People say that the south moves slower and at first thought, it’s very plausible that a 3 hour start to finish dining experience is acceptable; however, after visiting 10 dine in restaurants in the same area, the south is pretty much on the same watch time as the north.

Food was amazing !! We were pleasantly surprised with this place that we found on a whim, we were nervous at 1^st the restaurant is beautifully decorated, great music and feel but it was totally empty at 6:00 for dinner but our food was outstanding sushi, lobster egg rolls and even the ribeye were all cooked and made to perfection!!! Hidden gem in NOLA

We got some sushi as well as a shrimp and scallop plate. The potatoes that came underneath the shrimp and scallops were absolutely amazing! Sushi was also fresh. Would definitely come here again.(:

This afternoon we walked around scoping out where to eat for dinner tonight. We came across this place and Solomon was standing at the door. He told us what a fabulous place this was to eat. He took us inside. Showed us all around. Introduced us to the chef … And then told us our meal would be half price. Well… I’m definitely one to love a good deal.
When dinner time came around we walked to the restaurant. The place wasn’t crowded at all. I guess since its a block off Bourbon Street it’s just not visible to most people.
We got a wonderful place to sit. It was like a leather couch in a private setting by the bar. They had 4 TV’s in the area we were. They also have a separate Sushi area. (Btw… The fish looked amazing at the sushi bar).
We had a few drinks, calamari, and steaks with crab on top. The food was mouth watering! And of course the drinks were good. Actually they have 36 different Martinis to choose from… It’s a shame I’m not a martini drinker.
However… There was one major problem. Our waitress was AWFUL!!! … I mean REALLY AWFUL!!!
I wanted so badly to give this place more stars… But the service from our waitress was absolutely terrible!!! I even kept being nice to her thinking that sugar and spice might get us better service. … NOPE. It never improved. If we had better service I would have given it 5 stars. But our waitress just couldn’t show up. It’s a good thing the restaurant wasn’t crowded. She couldn’t have handled it.
So… I don’t know what to say. Great environment. Really cool restaurant. Amazing food. BUT… The service was AWFUL!!!
I’d try it again. Maybe I’ll get a different waitress.

This review is not about the food, since I haven’t tried the food.
I was out with some girlfriends Friday night and they wanted to check this place out. Some of us made it there before the others. I was part of the late group. When we were on our way, we were told that the place was dead, but we went since the rest of our group was already there.
When we got to the place, it was clear that everyone was leaving. It was also getting pretty late. Despite this and the fact that the girls that already went inside knew some of the employees and went in without paying the cover, the bouncer insisted that it was $ 10 per person. One of the girls came out and tried to give him just $ 10 for the two of us and he was not having it. Fine. We’ll pay to go in some club dying down cuz it was a special occasion, right?
Except within 30 minutes of us walking in, they shut off the music and turned on the lights even though there were still people dancing.
I know the staff gotta go home at a certain time. But y’all knew you were closing in half an hour and you had to insist on the $ 10 cover from two pretty girls? That’s not how clubs work. But then, the club culture in Nola that I’ve seen thus far is very different from those in major cities, so I guess places like this take advantage of that.
But yeah, never again.

Great sushi spot in NOLA! Don’t listen to them crazies about the white knight roll. Y’all gotta get the golden dragon — that shit is the bomb. What really got me is that smokey salmon flavour that you get right at the end of your chewing sesh. Also, that foie gras maki. Do it.

I was down there for Memorial Day weekend and I cannot say enough good things about this place! The food, drinks and presentation were all amazing! The food was delivered in such detail and it was pretty delicious. The staff were all so pleasant as well. I will def plan on going back when I visit NoLa again.
Ps the place is right off bourbon so after eating you can hit up the bar inside the restaurant and after go bar hopping!

There’s always room for more in New Orleans! Sushi, Pizza, Cocktails, Beignets, Sno Balls. Crawfish. Sushi (again)…V’s has an upscale look with an asian appeal.
Don’t let the exterior fool you. When you enter, you will be WILDLY surprised. It’s really a huge restaurant inside with two or three bars! There will be a club opened soon for my techno friends. I consider myself a ‘hot spot enthusiast’. …Translated– I love new spots and shade the old lol. Just kidding.
V’s will cultivate a new crowd to this area. Lots are. Lots of seating in this asian restaurant. In here, I feel like I am in Asia but it has that New Orleans feel.
Love the décor, drink selection and food menu. Happy Hour! Get ready folks! The soft opening was this week and they should be officially open next week. Look out for this cool place and let’s start talkin about it!
