Starting Something New in 1999
Mikimoto planted itself at 3301 S. Carrollton Avenue and set out to earn a place at the table — one freshly rolled piece of sushi at a time.
Japanese Technique, New Orleans soul
The Crescent City Roll packs snow crab, spicy crawfish, and tempura under avocado and shrimp. The Geaux Saints Maki layers crawfish, spicy tuna, salmon, and escolar — dishes that couldn't exist anywhere but here.
