Sushi Enya - Pasadena: Reviews & Ratings
Delicious sushi. Every single piece was delicate, fresh, and melted in my mouth. Skip the rolls, the nigiri are the real stars of the show. Putting a fresh new shine on authentic standards. (Almost too fresh--I wanted the mackerel to be more salty and fishy.) Their daily sake recommendation was so tasty too--bright and warm without being sweet.
Some of the best oysters I’ve had in LA! Overall good place, and I definitely recommend it. It’s pricy, but so worth it. We chose to sit at the “bar”, which meant we weren’t able to order sushi rolls. But getting to see the chef prepare your food in front of you is a great experience!
If I could give 6 stars I would! This is by far the best nigiri and sashimi I've ever had. It's clear there is an uncompromised level of care and sophistication with the ingredients they use. The types of fish we ordered I've had dozens, if not hundreds of times before, but they have never tasted as good nor had such a delicate texture. While the menu is relatively pricey, its evident you are getting exactly what you pay for with each and every delicious bite. The Maki was also delicious and expertly prepared. A massive roll skillfully packed and cut into 15 thin, perfectly bite sized pieces. Service was fast and friendly, and they have an omakase menu by the sushi bar (where if seated, you can't order Maki rolls). A definite must try for any sushi/ seafood fan.
Bar seating is great experience but you can’t order cut rolls only sushi sashimi and handroll which is great for us anyways. They have interesting/unusual menu such as squid tempura. Sushi comes in interesting flavors.
Super Sushi place in Pasadena. The food quality is super high and so are also the prices. I am guessing this is how it is nowadays. I was visiting from Europe and was still surprised how I paid 40 USD for 2 small items and a desert. So if you have something to celebrate where you will not take a second look at the prices... this is ideal for you. Great place, great service and super food quality. 1 Star removed due to the price tag.
I went to Sushi Enya recently and loved it so much. The sushi was super fresh and everything tasted amazing. The service was excellent — very friendly and attentive. The vibe was cozy and perfect for a nice dinner. I’ll definitely be back!
Sushi Enya is my husband and i’s favorite sushi spot. We come here every other month and order way too much. Everything is so fresh and delicious. They have all my favorites (halibut, snapper, mackerel, uni). The staff is wonderful and always very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back next!
James was an amazing server! We ordered 5 rolls and each and every one was absolutely amazing! Overall the service, the ambiance, and the staff was well worth it! Please come and enjoy Enya!
