awesome sushi! – been going to this place for years -- back when the only diners were my friends and i. boy, have things changed. sometimes, we have to actually wait to be seated. on to the food: i strongly recommend the blue crab rolls. it is true that echigo usually does not have rolls and serves traditional sushi. but, the blue crab roll is excellent! i also recommend the stuffed squid, which is squid stuffed with blue crab. again, excellent! as for the actual fish, you can't go wrong by odering the salmon, kanpachi, hama... read more
REALLY SLOW SERVICE/SOME MEDIOCRE SUSHI – I'd say mediocre at best and the only way I ould come back would be to order a la carte. The chefs tasting was not worth the $100 (for two) price tag. After all the rave reveiws, I was quite disappointed in the experience at Echigo. The chefs tasting menu was mixed. Of 10 courses, I enjoyed maybe three of them. The sushi cuts were small and not particularly tasty. We went on a wed night, came in and sat down and had to wait 40 minutes for anyone to come over to acknowledge us. Also, ... read more
Best Affordable Sushi In WLA – I love the sushi here. The kanpachi, scallop, yellowtail, tuna are the best. I have been going to Echigo for more than 2 years and it's just the best, freshest sushi I have had for the price. The only downside is that sometimes they get a little chinzy with their scallop. For the price of $5 per 2 pieces they give a small sliver of scallop. The waitresses these days have been nice. There used to be this awful Japanese woman who was mean and rude. Also, don't expect any special treatment. Don't ... read more
Solid Sushi, but quite different than expected – The warm-rice sushi experience is quite different that the usual, and as such, it accents certain qualities but detracts from certain others. I found that lighter fish such as halibut was quite overpowered by the warm, vinegary rice ball. However, there are some excellent seafood choices here that I usually do not order elsewhere... having had the omakase, I was extremely pleased by the flavorful fresh shrimp, the dissolve-in-your-mouth scallop (wow) and the perfectly textured... read more
Best Crab Rolls – I've been going to Echigo since it opened several years ago and have recommended it to numerous friends and colleagues over the years. In fact I often run into people I know there because once you start going, it's difficult to stop. The prices aren't cheap, but are reasonable for the fabulous quality of sushi you get here. My favorites here are the crab rolls, the uni, the monkfish liver, stuffed squid and salmon sashimi. For people looking for a trendy sushi spot with cocktails and fancy rolls - this is n... read more
Best Sushi on the West Side – I look forward to each visit I take to Echigo. You practically cannot go wrong with anything off of the menu. My gf and I try to check out one of the specials on the board everytime we go. We kinda went overboard the last time we went on items from the board. We ordered Loup de Mer, Butterfish(very succulent), Blue Crab Roll(my favorite roll that I order everytime), and monk fish liver. The warm rice is a unique novelty that I like about the place and the gentle reminders on which pieces not to ... read more
Melt N your mouth/fall apart N your chopsticks?! – This is one classic example which I was completely misled by the reviews here! Went to Echigo after I read the raving reviews and a thumbs-up recommendation from a friend; I have to tell you, I was a little disappointed. While the waitresses were attentive and the fish was fresh (but on the chincy side), I just couldn't understand why the rice would keep falling apart right in front of my eyes! After reading other reviews, apparently it didn't only happen to me, so it wasn't... read more
User review by siddhartha53 – I am no connoisseur of sushi, but this is by far the best I have ever tasted. Sitting at the bar for chef's choice is definitely the way to go; you will spend $30+ per, but you have the opportunity to watch a master at work. If you have fish like this available to you, I can't imagine why anyone would want to cook it!
Our favorite – We've known Toshi for 13 years, and we feel very happy and proud on his accomplishment in bringing such high quality and service to the west side.
