Hibachi & Sushi Near Kenner, LA
Just Minutes from Kenner
If you live in Kenner or are passing through on your way to or from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Yami Hibachi And Poboy is one of the closest spots for fresh hibachi plates, sushi rolls, and Louisiana-style poboys. We are located at 4401 Airline Drive in Metairie, roughly a ten-minute drive east of Kenner along the same road that runs past the airport. There is no need to fight traffic into New Orleans proper when a full menu of Japanese-Cajun fusion is right down the street.
A Quick Drive on Airline Drive
Getting here from Kenner is straightforward. Head east on Airline Drive toward Metairie. The road is a straight shot with no highway merges, and Yami is on the right side at 4401, just past the David Drive intersection. From the Rivertown historic district or Esplanade Mall, the drive is about eight to ten minutes depending on traffic. If you are coming from the airport terminals, you can be at our door in under fifteen minutes. Free parking is available right in front of the restaurant.
Perfect Before or After a Flight
Kenner is best known as the home of MSY, and that means a steady stream of travelers looking for a quality meal close to the airport. Rather than settling for fast food near the terminal, take a short drive east and pick up a hibachi chicken plate, a shrimp poboy, or a sushi combo before your flight. We also see plenty of locals coming from the Pontchartrain Center after events, or families wrapping up a day exploring Rivertown's museums and heritage park. Wherever you are starting from in Kenner, Yami is a quick and easy detour.
What to Order
Our menu brings together three distinct cuisines under one roof. Hibachi plates are cooked teppanyaki-style with your choice of chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, or tofu, served with fried rice and vegetables. The poboy lineup includes both classic Louisiana fillings and our signature hibachi poboys, which put grilled proteins on fresh French bread with house sauces. And the sushi menu features hand-rolled maki, nigiri, and specialty rolls made to order. Whether you want a fast lunch on a work break or a full spread to bring home to the family, there is something for everyone. You can browse our full menu and order online for pickup, so your food is ready when you arrive.
