Had a lovely dinner at Sushi Enya. The fish was very fresh and well prepared, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant is beautiful and relaxed. Compared to other sushi places in LA (and there are so many!) it is high quality but the price point is more expensive per piece even by sushi standards. We called it the “Beverly Hills tax” lol You won’t be disappointed but if you’re being more financially mindful, then I think you’ll have many other quality choices in LA.
We (group of 2) each ordered the sushi combination (which was 9 pieces and a snow crab hand roll $65) - perfect seasoning, right amount of wasabi and soy sauce, no additional dipping required. We also each ordered a glass of sake and two additional pieces off the menu (scallop and black cod, both fantastic!!) - highly recommend ordering at least one piece from the specials menu if you’re a sushi veteran. My only disappointment was the snow crab hand roll - it came out at the same time as our nigiri sushi and I felt pressured to eat it right away to avoid the seaweed getting soggy. And when I did eat it right away, it didn’t make a difference - the seaweed was already soggy which makes me believe they had let it sit for some time before making the other pieces. For the price we paid for the meal in total (~$200 including tax), you’d expect a hand roll to be more crisp or brought out later in the meal. If I were to visit again, I’d order pieces...
Read moreIn conclusion, this place is the ultimate sushi omakase restaurant. I'm a big fan of sushi and enjoy touring various sushi spots for omakase experiences. My usual go-to spot was Sushi Enya in Pasadena. However, as of today, I would like to crown this Beverly Hills Sushi Enya as my number one sushi restaurant. I made a reservation for the omakase here and arrived on time to be seated at the sushi bar. The chef in charge of our omakase today was Chef Aidan. He stood tall with an expert expression at the center of the sushi bar. The overall impression of the omakase was that they focused not just on the superficial performance of sushi but on the true taste of sushi and the skill of bringing out the flavor and maturity of the sashimi. I connected with Chef Aidan on Instagram, and I plan to visit this Beverly Hills Sushi Enya frequently in the future. Whether you're new to sushi or have plenty of sushi experiences, I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. And if you get the chance, I encourage you to try the...
Read moreI ordered to pick up a couple of weeks ago based on the good reviews. I was not greeted very well and yes, is distancing but you tell me politely where I should wait for my order?! I waited to long even though my bag looked ready... anyway. I did not check order, I trusted them but was a big mistake. My food looked like leftover. Sushi smelled too much and I tell you: was not fresh as sushi should be. Few pieces did not eat at all because they were really not pleasant to the eye: spot of blood and other not fresh fish colors. I should have faked this order back right then but after 10h work you just want to enjoy dinner and relax. I will never order from here again. I might give it another try in person so I can give back the order if is not as fresh and good looking as sushi should be. You can't just eat raw fish and get sick... what the chef was thinking giving me this pieces?! That I won't know? That a pick up order can get away and get rid off some old fish?! No, no, no! Not acceptable.
Sorry. Not a good...
