Sushi Enya Pasadena

Excellent sushi, very good service. Really friendly staff. All the sushi was good. The veg sushi I ordered was beautiful and well balanced. The asparagus was smoky and the rice flavorful.

Came here last Saturday. Sushi Enya is great as usual. This time I ordered some pricier items hence the price, but my friend was pretty full with her rainbow roll and oysters for about $40.

I'm very happy that the sashimi platter came with 6 types of fish, unlike other restaurants that gives you a bunch of pieces from just 2 kinds. It is very well worth it.

I also order stripped mackerel, caviar scallop, and wagyu. They're pretty interesting to try.

The quality of the fish is exceptional. The selection is amazing. The wait staff is more attentive than warranted (they have a strange habit of constantly refilling your drinks and grabbing any trash on the table as soon as it's set down) but they're very knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is that the portions are far too small for the price. I feel like I'd rather have one piece of nigiri twice the size than the two small pieces they serve. In my opinion, you need that much to really capture the flavor.

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.

This is the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to in LA. There is the best uni and sweet shrimp, they have Santa barbara uni and janpanese uni, I personally prefer Santa Barbara uni which is big and sweet. The staffs are nice and always refill my drink without my reminder, the fish roe&uni bowl is my favorite food since I don’t really like fish roe until I have been here.

However, I don’t recommend omakase at the bar where you can’t order rolls, also it can not make me feel full and more expensive than eating at the regular table. The bar is a good place for dating cuz there is a good and romantic atmosphere of eating. Not enough if you only come for food like me.😅
