I love this place. The Sushi is awesome. The volcano roll is the best in the city. The crazy to is a beast a must try!!! The place is small but it is all worth it. The service is quick and the people are nice. This is my favorite sushi spot.

Great little sushi place in Gentilly. I like that is quiet and has good service. The food is good. Not the best sushi in New Orleans, but a good, clean, well-priced Japanese restaurant.

Fantastic sushi! Sushi for 10....and everyone loved it! We eat sushi everywhere we go, and this was as good as our favorite place. Everything was great. They even brought out fried banana and iced cream for our birthday celebration. It isn't much to look at, but its great sushi!
(5)Jakub K.
Love this place. I live few blocks from there and I'm glad we have a really good sushi place near by. the fish is always fresh and delicious.

Great food, quick and very nice people there. I was in the mood for some good sushi, but didn't feel like driving in the city or some crowed sushi bar. I did a search and this place looked promising, as we were pulling up it looked like it was some tiny shack. When we walked it was a shock how nice it was, comfortable layout enough for 20 or so people. We ordered a bunch of things to try out, Pot stickers were really good, had some kind of chicken on a stick, my wife liked it but i didn't. We got 3 rolls, crab, crawfish, and Rocky Road i think. All three were great. We split a Shrimp and Filet hibachi with Shrimp fried rice. The rice was massive and tasted great, not that boring dull flavor crap you get at most Asian restaurants. The Shrimp and Fillet were cooked perfect, great flavor seasoned well. We couldn't finish our food and awesome late night leftovers. This place is great because its out of the main area, easy parking, you get in and out quick, food is awesome and there even cheaper. I would rather go here then many big named places in the city.

Great service, though I've only ordered and picked up. Great no frills sushi at a great price. The snow crab salad is my favorite; always fresh and plenty of it in a serving. The shrimp fried rice is mediocre at best. All of the rolls I've had have been awesome. One of my favorite sushi spots in the Big Easy.
(4)Frederico A.
Didn't expect to rate them a 5 star but I sat here asking myself why they were not a 5 star restaurant; I could find no reason. Firstly, I only order take-out so as far as serving I'm not qualified to speak on that. However, I often call ahead to place a crunchy roll order and unlike picking up your local chain pizza who say 30 minutes upwards, these restauranteurs have the roll ready to pick up in only 10 minutes oftentimes 5 minutes from the time I hang up the phone. I show up, pick up my order, pay, then I'm gone leaving a tip on occasion. Shame on me I know. The staff is very friendly and smile at me. Food: The crunchy roll comes with 8 sushi measuring nearly 2 inches in height a piece. I am given a to-go container with the commonplace wasabi, ginger, chopsticks, and two packets of soy sauce. Very good!
(5)Alison P.
By far, my favorite place for sushi. The service is quick and attentive. I've tried a variety of their sushi rolls and have never been disappointed. The rolls that should be cold always are when it arrives at the table. The same can be said if you order anything that requires cooking of some sort. I also love this place because it's the only sushi bar I've been to that offers reduced sodium soy sauce. I know this doesn't sound like much to most people, but I appreciate being able to taste my sushi and not just salt when I use soy sauce. Try it once. I'm sure you'll go back again and again.

Firstly, I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews there are literally tons of other sushi restaurants in this city and this place is definitely WELL below the average. Maybe I just had a uniquely bad experience idk, but I generally hate giving negative reviews unless it's absolutely horrible and believe me it was. I reviewed this on the other page for this place and didn't see this page at first. So now onto the review: Went for lunch here today, instead of my usual lunch dates @ Yummy Yummy Sushi, and I'm so disappointed. The bus boy was super nice and he's the only reason I'm not giving 1 star. The waitress paid us absolutely no attention except to bring us our food and bill (the bus boy brought us our drinks.) We had miso soup and shrimp tempura app and they were average. We ordered 4 rolls; crunchy, philadelphia, shrimp tempura, and a special the crazy dog. The rolls came out quick but weren't rolled tight so everything would fall out as soon as you picked it up. To be honest the tuna actually looked like it was dyed pink, it was just a weird bright pink color, not fresh pink. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ORDERING THE CRAZY DOG! It was so gross neither of us touched it, fake crab crap with a sliver of cream cheese, roe on top of only two of the pieces and sauce that left a bad taste in my mouth. I can feel my stomach bubbling now and hope I don't get sick. I know now to stay away. I can't believe I just spent 50+ for this crap.
(2)Steph S.
Love love love good times!! Having fresh sushi in Gentilly is great To keep us from having to drive to Metairie or downtown where things are pricey. I highly recommend. Always fresh and great prices!!!
(5)Jeremy D.
Great little neighborhood sushi place! Fresh fish and friendly staff! Wish yall would expand! Maybe you could try some specials or a happy hour that would attract uno students during the awkward time between lunch and dinner?
(5)Moira R.
When I am at UNO and I want to go have a nice sit down lunch I go to Good Times. This is a good little place with delicious food and a friendly staff. The portions are good too which lends itself well to sharing. My ideal lunch is either a squid salad or a roll followed by one of the bento boxes served with an extra serving of hibachi rice. I have liked all of the rolls I've gotten here, but what keeps me coming back are the bento box lunches, and the hibachi rice. In fact, I might just crave the rice on an occasional basis. if you weren't sharing, it would be more than plenty to just get the bento box lunch because it comes with a good portion of meat, gyoza, cali roll, rice, oranges, a green salad, and soup for about $10
(4)Greg M.
This place is an example of don't judge a book by its cover. Excellent sushi and fried rice. Good pricing and u are always greeted Immediately.
(4)Angela S.
I have to rate it a 3. It's not terrible but the sushi is limited. Compared to Yummy sushi and hibachi (which I gave 4 stars) this place is great for is value. Perfect for the person new to sushi.
(3)Tiffanie J.
Amazing prices amazing sushi!! Not super fancy but it's still super good!! Give it a try and you won't regret it ! I promise ;) sushi is usually super expensive but at good time they have over 20 different rolls and the prices range from 3 -8$ super cheap! It's packed every time I come but service is fast. Hibachi is also really good even though I've only tried it once!
(5)Nick B.
Good Time Sushi is a bit of a haven for me. In the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, it's a clean, delicious restaurant. I'm a really big fan of their lunch menu. Think a salad, miso, two rolls and a drink for $14. The people who work their are extremely friendly. I go every week and enjoy it immensely.
(5)Dominique H.
Tucked back off of Elysian Fields Ave in Gentilly, Good time sushi is a quaint little neighborhood sushi joint. It's very small, about 6 tables at most, but there's also seating at the sushi bar. Never judge a book by its cover! Because at first glance you may be skeptical about this place. However, after one bite, you'll see that GT can hang with the best of them. The fish is always fresh and they have a variety of familiar rolls. The snow crab and rock and rolls are my favorite. Their habachi is good too. My favorite is the chicken habachi rice. During lunch this place can get pretty packed. Generally in the evenings there's always space at the sushi bar. A lot of folks in the neighborhood opt for take out. It's really convenient and if you call ahead, it will be ready when you pick it up. I def recommend if you live in Lakeview/Gentilly.
(4)Cavin G.
Very enjoyable! Was working in the area and saw good reviews on Yelp so I stopped by. Walking in the door the smell was wonderful. The servers were very nice. I had the snow crab roll and sweet potato roll and they were great!
(4)Ilene G.
Driving by this building you would never think to stop there for great sushi! The fish was fresh. The sashimi dinner was a good amount of fish at a great price. The server was very nice, she waited to bring everything at once though. It was tough looking at my roll sitting at the bar all delicious like for 10 minutes while everything else was being prepared. Over all nice place and I would eat there again.
(3)Courtney W.
This is one of my favorite sushi places in the city! It's a great place to eat especially if you're a UNO student as it's conveniently located and reasonably priced!
(4)Jeanne H.
It's not mindblowingly awesome but it's a good lunch place for UNO students. For some reason, the snowcrab makes my stomach feel weird.
(4)Spud Z.
My wife and I ordered several dishes for take-out tonight. We hadn't eaten here in quite a while but I used to get it all the time when I worked at UNO. This little place packs a big punch. The sushi was fresh, and the hibachi dish was very tasty. I wanted to write a review because it's been a while since they had one. We had the hibachi chicken meal with salad and clear soup (all good), crunchy roll and tempura roll (all good), snow crab salad (average but not great), and the shrimp tempura app (tasty). I'd order it all again. The food isn't omg-amazing, but it's certainly solid, fresh, and well worth the money. Great prices & nice folks!
(4)Alayna M.
Usually I have a great experience, however today was not that day. Shrimp shells and egg shells were in my fried rice. Take out meal... I did call to express my disappointment and was offered the courtesy of exchanging my meal. Unfortunately the family was already eating and I didn't want to make the drive. every time I crunched on a shell. theworse
(3)Caitlin C.
Don't let the unassuming location fool you! This is a great sushi place! I had the "Good Time roll" and it was delicious. It it one of those premium-type rolls that are sufficient for a meal for one person, if that person is not sharing. It was like a rainbow roll only there were different colored roes on top and an awesome sauce. The service was good and there is a nice, little sushi bar/counter. The prices are quite reasonable. This is so close to me, I'm sure to be a regular visitor.
(5)Jinyoung P.
Stopped in here for hibachi yesterday. It wasn't bad. There isn't a show, however. They only have regular tables in the dining area. No hibachi grill. So you order what you want and they bring it out from the kitchen already plated. I wasn't hugely impressed, but it's close to the house, and I may return if I don't feel like going farther away. I miss Calvin at Little Tokyo on N. Carrollton, but he's no longer there, so I'm gonna need to find a new spot.
(3)Andrea F.
It has been quite some time since I have been here. The staff is just as friendly and just as attentive as they were before. My two go-to items are the tiger roll and miso soup or the chicken fried rice. Both are very good. The restaurant is very neat, clean and well laid out for such a small place. I always look forward to coming here. Again, the parking may be tight as well as the seating during peak meal hours/
(4)Helen L.
The sushi was very good. The rice tastes so fresh and the fish was melting in my mouth. I would have given them four stars but the service was fair. Our waitress was not friendly at all and I had to ask for water refills. If I went to UNO or was in a rush, I would call my order in ahead of time for a pick up or would not consider eating there because I would be late! We waited an extended amount of time for our sushi but not for our hibachi food. I don't know that I would return.
(3)Renée H.
Delicious!!! I've passed this up for over a year bc of the outward appearance...I kicked myself yesterday when I finally tried it!!!! Sooooooo delicious! The crunchy calamari roll was amazing...tuna was fresh...squid salad was on point and the clear soup was delicious...beyond satisfied. Our server was so kind. I'll probably make this my every Monday lunch spot...
(4)Berit A.
This place is great, their sushi is so fresh and delicious. And the sushi chef is just the nicest guy ever - helped me break into my car when I had accidentally left the keys inside. I eat here at least once a month and am never unsatisfied.Their spicy tuna roll is the bomb.
(5)Niki M.
Great service, and really fresh, and delicious sushi. It's a small place, so if going for lunch, either go early or later. My favorite is the Good Times Roll. Sooo good!
(5)Linda L.
This is my first time trying out this place and I'm glad I did! Their rolls were delicious! I think I may have found another sushi place to eat and I love the fact that it's near campus (UNO)! For appetizer, we had the squid salad and the seaweed salad. Both were very flavorful. We mixed them together to reduce a little bit of the saltiness of the squid salad. We tried 3 different rolls: the crazy dog roll, the gold roll, and the good time roll. All were really good but my fave would have to be the gold roll (the unlabeled photo below)! It's fried so the roll comes out warm and it just melts in your mouth! I would give this a five star but our waitress wasn't knowledgable of the dishes. Who knows, maybe she's new. But nonetheless, everything was great!
(4)Brian S.
Passing by Good Time Sushi en route to UNO over the past few years, I always wondered (a) how it would do in this off-the-beaten-path location and (b) whether it was any good. Given that it's now been around for over 5 years, I figured it must have something going for it and finally got around to trying it today. I'm happy I did. Amid a steady flow of customers (both in-house and take-out) service was fine. The Salmon Avocado Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll were both good, nothing more. The BBQ Eel Roll with some sort of sauce over it was very good. The surprise was the Sweet Potato Roll, served warm and unlike anything I've ever had before, yummily excellent. I preceded these with the squid salad which had a generous amount of squid in it and just the right kick. Also excellent. For such a small, simple establishment, I thought prices were a tad, say 10-15% high, but I suppose real estate even on Elysian Fields (not to mention everything else that goes into running a restaurant) has gotten more expensive these days. A couple with two young kids sat at the table next to me. They said they'd been coming there for years and highly recommended the Volcano Roll which looked great. They added when the first came the thought it would be very, very good or very, very bad. Happily for all, it tuned out to be the former.
(4)Andrea T.
I really like this place. I'm so happy someone introduced me to it recently. If no one pointed it out, it's really easy to pass by without noticing because it's rather tiny and unobtrusive. Don't let that deter you! In terms of value and quality, it's one of my favorite lunch spots to go. Plus it's super close to work/school at UNO, which is also a really huge plus. Service has always been polite and prompt. I usually go with the sushi beginner's lunch or dinner. For lunch, it's soup, salad, and 16 pieces of sushi for $9.95. Dinner is an extra $3. I always leave stuffed and satisfied. Their miso soup is darn near perfect! My favorite roll here of those I've tried is probably the crunchy roll. They are addictive. And one of these days when I'm not stuffed at the end of the meal, I'm going for the ice cream tempura. Yum!
(4)Ronathan W.
I'm not sure what happened to the wait staff; but all of the servers were newly hired. They were terrible! They were unfriendly and uninterested...completely removed from reality! The sushi chef was the same guy...he always makes great sushi! The service was a big let down though...not the great experience I'm used to having when visiting here.
(2)Gili E.
WOW! One of the best places to go to. Filled with genuine atmosphere, great people, and delicious food. Hands down, one of the best sushi I've had for a while.
(5)Jane T.
Our waiter was very unattentive. Just dropped off the food and never see them after. To the point we have to walk to them to ask for something. Still they ignored us Lol. It wasn't busy either. We had the lunch special. Which was pretty good. We used to be regulars but after this we will have to rethink about going here. The three stars is just for the food.
(3)Jo W.
I recently moved to New Orleans and I am sushi obsessed so you could imagine my uber excitement when I discovered Good Time Sushi! It a little hole in the wall establishment that you could easily drive by and not notice or not think to go inside of, so I am so glad I did and found what is probably going to be my new sushi spot. My sushi tester is the Spicy Tuna Roll. Although it wasn't a great Spicy Tuna (it just was not spicy), it was still a good roll. Besides, I enjoyed the Rock N Roll a lot and from that alone, I could tell they make quality rolls. In addition to those two rolls, I also ordered the Good Time Roll. This one was by far my favorite. You could taste the freshness of the fish and the craftsmanship as each piece went into your mouth. Although their name suggests that they are all about the sushi, they also offer Japanese Hibachi food. I didn't try any this time so I cannot comment on its taste, but if their sushi is any indication, it should be good.
(5)Jill B.
Been going here for years! Love the food and service! Just wish they delivered! They're accommodating with my special requests as well - double salad instead of soup, no rice on the crawfish rolls, etc.
(4)April A.
You wouldn't think it because of the name but this is very good, very fresh sushi. The staff is wonderful, you will not be disappointed!
(5)CORINA C.
This is a good, no frills place for lunch or dinner. There are a few drawbacks. The rolls we had were HUGE! If you are into the large roll, than this might be your place. I like one or two bite rolls myself. The ones we had -- softshell crab, rock and roll, and gold roll -- were three or four bite pieces. Another drawback is no beer or wine. If you are looking for sushi in the area and don't want to travel far, though, this is a great place to stop in.
(4)Eric R.
Great service and great food. Portions aren't large, but the prices aren't steep either (which is good if you'd like to try a lot of things). I especially recommend the red bean fried ice cream for dessert. I only take issue with the parking- the property is crammed a small place on Elysian Fields and Filmore and there's very little parking.
(5)Mary Jane J.
I'm going to be honest: the sushi is average. As a Gentilly girl, I will walk to this place weekly though because I'm just so happy it's there! The waiters are always sweet and the prices are fair. The more places to open in my little neighboorhood that's still struggling since katrina, the better.
(4)Brandye D.
The sushi is fresh and delicious. The hibachi is also very tasty. My only thing is there is not open hibachi seating. It is done in the kitchen, so we don't get a show with it.
(4)melissa E.
Great sushi and good service. The place is small and the parking can sometimes be tricky, but the food is worth it. The Good Time and the Baked Salmon Rolls are wonderful. All the standard rolls hold their own as well. The Hibachi is well done and the portions are a good size.
(4)Bobby M.
From the outside this place looks like nothing special, but their food is great! It's near the UNO campus and it's about time this area got a sushi place. I wish this place was here when I used to go to UNO because I would've eaten here every day. I tried a few different rolls as well as the baked salmon appetizer and the hibachi fried rice. Everything was delicious and the prices were great. They have a hibachi menu but they cook everything in the kitchen, not in front of you. The sushi menu is not crazy full of creative rolls but what they do have is done well. I would recommend the Volcano roll! This place just as good or better than most of the other sushi places in new orleans but their prices really stand out here,
(4)Feldman A.
The prices for sushi might be the best in the city. The place is small and modest. Not ugly. Very attentive service. A great find in a more blue collar neighborhood. Very NOLA: good food without the pretentious hooplah. Like a divebar for sushi. There seem to be quite a few doctors coming here for take out...from a nearby hospital? Good endorsement...must be healthy? As for the food, the technique was more or less correct and the sushi was fresh and tasty. Some were better than others. For example, I liked their salmon and avocado, yellowtail roll and Good Time, but did not much care for the way they made the calamari and spicy tuna. I will probably end up going back here since it is in the neighborhood, but if I had to pick between these guys and Mikimoto, it would be the latter. Plus Mikimoto delivers, which is huge.
(4)Remahn F.
The spot is way too small, but it doesn't take away from the quality of the food. They do hibachi here, but there is no hibachi performance. They prepare it in the back and bring it out to you, but it still tastes delicious, nonetheless. The noodle salad is also a really good appetizer while you wait for your food. The sushi is by far some of the best quality I've had in the city, and it's ALWAYS fresh. I can dig it. Their pineapple fried rice is delicious. I t tastes like they make it with grape-seed oil, which is a plus, but I could be wrong...it could just be sesame or olive...don't quote me. All of their entrees are delicious and the prices are super reasonable. Leaving 1 star off for the lack of a hibachi performance. :-)
(4)Rasil T.
This place is awesome! You can get the great sushi here for a reasonable price. Look out for lunch specials, you can order 2 types of sushi for like $10 and you get soup as well. used to eat here a lot when I used to go to UNO.
(5)Andrew N.
Great rolls and service. The Good Time Roll is one of the best in the city for looks and taste.
(5)Damian P.
Awesome Rainbow roll.
(4)Rashaad J.
Beyond awesome. We let the chefs choose our meal and it was a decision that we do not regret. The presentation and flavor were strongly complimented by the friendly banter and demeanor of staff. Highly recommended.
(5)Brooke B.
I don't know about the name. With only about 7 tables and a small sushi bar, I don't think this place is happening enough to warrant a "good time", but the food is definitely good. Can't beat the location... well for me anyways. There are few restaurants in my neighborhood and I am definitely glad to have this one nearby. It is frequented by many a UNO student as well. In addition to the sushi, they also serve a variety of hibachi menus. But don't think you're getting dinner and a show. No shrimp-tossing, onion volcano-making chefs will be found here. What will you find? Quality sushi. Delicious hibachi. Exceptional service. and all in the Gentilly area.
