Awkward, painful seating offset great food – This is not a place for couples. If you are a couple, you'll either be seated at an awkward communal table where you're on top of your neighbors, or at "kiddie" tables in the bar area. The communal table does not extend out far enough such that your legs get very cramped after awhile. I went in for sushi and left with a case of deep vein thrombosis. The hostesses are also a bit snotty about informing you that these are your only seating choices. This in unfortunate, because the fo... read more
A great treat! – Took my boyfriend, a sushi lover, to En for his birthday. We were both happily surprised with the consistency and flavor of the food--the fish was very fresh and the menu accommodating for both fish and non-fish lovers.
Delicious! – I went last weekend and had a very delicious meal. The service must have improved bcz the staff were very attentive and friendly and not rude at all (according to previous stingy reviews). The fresh warm tofu, chu toro, croquette and shrimp fritters were delicious! Sashimi was fresh (the salmon was so smooth and buttery!) We only ordered appetizers, dessert and a sake sampler. It can get pricey with more drinks. I am looking forward to going back next week to try their grilled meat w/ foie gras and their pork sh... read more
Average Food – I was blown away by the atrium-like space. We sat at the beautiful communal table. Food was however only average. The tataki beef was good. The salt-crusted duck meat was not tender at all, and the stuff squid was very dry and hard to swallow. Service was attentive in the beginning, but went downhill as the night got busier. We sat for 20 mins plus before we got the attention of the waitress. I say go for the experience, not the food.
Very Authentic, Very Fresh I did a sushi test with co-workers at lunch. You could tell the difference in the freshness and quality of the tuna at En which ranked the highest. They are quite authentic in their choices. Try the pork belly while you are there. On the down side, it's not what you normally expect from an americanized sushi or japanese restauarant. So have expectations set accordingly.
very good! – The food is very very good, but unfortunately the menu is limited. i do not recommend the "tasting" menu because it's pretty much the same as ordering a la carte. the last time i was there, we decided to try the sashimi and we LOVED it. the sake list is also reasonably priced, particularly my favorite. the staff is a little rude and hostile, which would normally turn me away from frequenting a restaurant, but the food is so yummy and the sake so accessible, that I find myself coming back for more. Since January,... read more
En has great tasting food that is not only pleasing to the tastebuds but is extremely healthy as well. The restaurant is dimly lit which creates a very warm atmosphere...at the same time the floor is very open and the staff is kind and attentive. It's a great place to share a nice meal with friends, impress colleagues, or have a romantic dinner with a significant other. The menu includes the best Japanese dishes that will make you feel satisfied, warm and healthy inside, instead of feeling over-full and uncomfortable. I reco... read more
Fresh approach to Traditional Japanese – The bar was nice, moody, & has these floor to ceiling window. We were seated in the main dining room, and it is this 2 story atrium like space at the communal table that boast a sand garden and voltives. Their specialty is fresh warm tofu. How they serve it, is with a box container, which you spoon to your bowl & then add this soysauce type sauce & a rustic wooden spoon you eat the fresh & creamy tofu. The Grilled Churo Toro, which was fresh, and the sauce tangy/salty. Their Yuba with... read more
Awesome Food – The food is amazing but the portions are small. Try the Mochi Croquette (Duck with potato). For dessert, I don't remember the name I think it was a flourless chocolate cake (first on the dessert menu), it was amazing. The waitress was not so friendly, perhaps it was just her.
