Our grandson ordered a special roll called Bye Bye Katrina. I later saw on the menu I could have ordered just the tempura that would have made a better meal for me. So much food! It is more like a complete Bento box, with soup and salad and rolls and even the seaweed salad I adore. I am embarrased to tell you, this is my order. We all love miso soup, even though it is good for us. This is exactly the kind of experience we love to have with our grandchildren – lots to look at, tactile, visual, and a great way to spend a few minutes while we are waiting for our lunch. So many beautiful things to look at! I love it when a restaurant creates a sensual experience beyond really good food! Washing hands was a treat! The bathroom was actually very clean, and granddaughter pointed out the flower arrangement. Once we had ordered, we all went to wash hands. They have a huge board on the wall with daily specials, and a menu so large that as I started reading, my hungry husband pointed out that there is a lunch menu and it would be faster just to order from that. It is a popular place, full of locals, regulars and relaxed people. The waitress approaches and shows no dismay that we have children. There are customers leaving and customers entering who look a lot like us, except we have children with us. It is between us and the nearest entrance to I-10, which we will be taking after lunch to get back to Pensacola. We are hoping parking may be easier than on Magazine. With no further recommendation, we decide to take a chance. In desperation, I Google “Japanese restaurant near me” and up pops Origami, 5130 Freret St, New Orleans, LA 70115, just seven minutes away. As we were leaving the Audubon Zoo, we all decided we would like Japanese food / sushi for lunch, and we’ve been to a couple on Magazine which we considered less than stellar. I will spare you all the details of our latest trip to New Orleans except for one happy accident. Origami Restaurant: A Happy Accident in New Orleans
