From Brett Anderson, The Times-Picayune: "Komei Horimoto, chef-owner of Horinoya, works with steely-eyed focus from behind the sushi bar of this small, sparsely appointed CBD restaurant, puncturing the silence with the sounds of rat-a-tat chopping and broken-English greetings generally followed by small edible gifts. It is the place in New Orleans to find out how great sushi can be outside the Pacific Rim."
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
The Times-Picayune: Top 100 Restaurant, 2010
Zagat 2011: 25 food rating (very good to excellent)
The New Orleans Menu by Tom Fitzmorris: *** (worth crossing town for)
"Artistic presentations of sushi, hard-to-find delicacies like monkfish liver and Japanese favorites like natto are the hallmarks of this chic downtown Japanese restaurant. Horinoya’s lunch specials are ideal for a quick midday lunch and it also features an extensive menu of raw and cooked cuisine that is worth exploring come dinnertime."
