"New Orleans is not known for amazing Chinese or Japanese food so when my friend from California visited, I was surprised when she wanted to go to Luvi. But the food is wonderful. We tried several of the raw dishes everything was super fresh and melt in your mouth quality yellowtail, tuna, salmon, you name it. The Chef also has some great Shanghainese offerings like cold cucumber that is super authentic and not something you often find. There are also enough delicious options like dumplings and noodles to satiate your hunger. I hate leaving nicer restaurants still feeling hungry, which won’t be a problem at Luvi. Also the drinks are refreshing and imaginative. All in all a superb dining experience and a much needed addition to the NOLA food scene."
