Walking off busy Tchoupitoulas Street and into the colorful calm of Luvi is like stepping into another world. But this world is lush with Japanese and Shaiganese dishes, which the restaurant quietly introduced to the city years ago, and have thankfully become more common since. Order a bunch of things and you’ll soon happily lose count as plate after plate arrives. Look for perfectly shaped dumplings stuffed with beef and caramelized onion, or bok choy and mushrooms. And prioritize the popular spicy dan dan noodles—they arrive swimming in housemade bone broth and get their heat from a touch of ghost pepper chili oil.
