Japanese-Cajun Fusion in Jefferson Parish
Serving All of Jefferson Parish
Jefferson Parish is one of the most populous parishes in Louisiana, stretching from Kenner and the airport in the west to the River Ridge and Harahan communities along the river, with Metairie at its center. Yami Hibachi And Poboy sits right on Airline Drive in the heart of Metairie, which means we are centrally located for just about anyone in the parish. Whether you are coming from Elmwood after work, driving over from Gretna or Harvey on the West Bank, or heading down from River Ridge, our restaurant is easy to reach from every corner of Jefferson Parish.
The Airline Drive Food Corridor
Airline Drive has earned a reputation as one of the most culinarily diverse stretches of road in the greater New Orleans metro area. Vietnamese pho restaurants, Honduran bakeries, Indian buffets, taco trucks, and family-run seafood joints line this corridor for miles. It is not a polished restaurant row, and that is exactly what makes it great. Yami adds something different to the mix with Japanese-Cajun fusion: teppanyaki-style hibachi plates, hand-rolled sushi, and Louisiana poboys all prepared under one roof. If you have not explored Airline Drive as a food destination, it is worth the trip on its own.
Three Cuisines, One Menu
What sets Yami apart from other restaurants in Jefferson Parish is the range of what we serve. Our hibachi plates feature chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, and tofu, all cooked teppanyaki-style with fried rice and grilled vegetables. The poboy menu covers classic Louisiana options alongside our signature hibachi poboys, which combine grilled proteins with house sauces on fresh French bread. And the sushi selection includes traditional maki rolls, nigiri, and specialty rolls made fresh to order. It is three distinct cuisines prepared with care, available for pickup so you can enjoy them wherever you are in the parish.
