Nagoya on S. Sherwood Forest Blvd

Nagoya has the most extensive Japanese buffet in Baton Rouge. I’ve had excellent snow crab and frog legs there, but if that is what you are after, you should probably call first to make sure they will be menued when you are going to be there. They have a build-your-own-plate hibachi grill, plenty of nigiri and rolls, hot dishes and dim sum, a salad and dessert bar and an ice cream station. It’s a clean and attractive place, but it is all about the food here.

I know that’s a lot of photos, but believe me, this isn’t everything. The quality is right up there with the better Asian buffets like Chinese Inn, Thai Pepper, and India’s, but none of them have the nigiri and the rolls and the hibachi grill to go along with the hot dishes. And Nagoya has the most dim sum offerings I’ve seen so far in town. Of course I haven’t been everywhere (who has?) but I can only think of one or two I’ve yet to try for dim sum. It’s not nearly as popular here as I think it should be, but that’s a rant for another time. Here are the three dishes I put together for my meal which I enjoyed thoroughly.
