Nestled in Marigny, this laid-back Japanese spot boasts vibrant decor and a menu that dazzles with inventive sushi rolls and hearty ramen options, perfect for a unique dining experience away from the Bourbon Street chaos.
"Royal Sushi is a chill spot in the Marigny close to the R Bar — it’s popular for its creative handrolls. But the miso ramen is always a great bet for a comforting meal; the savory, tangy barbecue pork buns come dressed with bits of cucumber and cilantro. There’s tempura, of course, and a very tasty salmon fried rice." - Beth D'Addono
"This Marigny storefront is light and airy with lighting that changes colors, friendly servers, and consistently good raw seafood offerings. It’s hard not to love Royal’s generous portion of tuna tataki and the “geisha kiss” roll stuffed with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, snow crab, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, and masago. There’s also an extensive array of ramen bowls, with pick-your-own protein, broth, and veg for a bowl of custom noodle love. Soy-wrapped and rice-free rolls are also available. The same owners are behind Haiku on Magazine and Geisha on Tchoupitoulas, so the menus are similar." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"This spot right off of Frenchmen Street offers a build-your-own ramen bowl from start to finish. Five meats, and one vegetable option to start, then choose a broth: tonkotsu/spicy tonkotsu, a chicken-based shoyu spinach, or the seaweed-soy yasmin konbu. Then there’s a choice from three noodly types: udon, ramen, or rice noodles. And of course, the optional toppings, like corn, kimchi, crab stick, nori, or BBQ pork." - Nora McGunnigle, Eater Staff
