"Remaining one of the most exciting restaurants in New Orleans since opening in 2018, Luvi is a petite Uptown cottage where chef Hao Gong wows with his mastery of Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Gong, who worked for years at Sake Cafe, nails dishes of raw and nearly raw fish paired with the likes of cucumber and yuzu vinegar and pink dragon fruit, as well as Shanghai comfort food like dumplings, dan dan noodles, and crispy panko chicken with sweet chili sauce." - Clair Lorell
