A word from 1066 Eno (Formerly: Aja Asian Bistro)

Pulsing ambient music and dramatic decor, including a large Buddha statue, up-lit bamboo and a fish tank in the floor, attract a 30-something cocktail crowd. The menu offers traditional sushi, including various tunas and sea urchin, as well as signature rolls like salmon-jalapeno and spicy crab and… caviar. Entrees include steak or chicken Ishi-Yaki (served on a hot stone grill), miso- and sake-marinated sea bass and sake- and ginger-glazed lamb chops.Continued

"It hasn't changed much from what it used to be when called AJA. The menu and food seems the same from what I could tell in the menu, but I think they increased the portions, which was very nice. The service was OK, but I felt rushed (eventhough there were available tables). Can you believe that they served my entree when I wad not even half way on my 1st plate? Then as soon as my friend finished her entree, even though I was not done with mine, they took away her plate. They dont do this on nice restaurants, they wait until everyone is done (to take away the plates). Other than that it was fine. Food and ambience was OK."

"I have ALWAYS been in love with finding hole-in-the wall places, and this place was under a bridge. lol
The food was great. The staff was friendly. And the Waterfall Buddha was AWESOME. It has such an Asian Fusion to it.
I wish it was so pricey, but it is SO WORTH IT.
It does take a bit to actually get to the restaurant, so leave a bit before your reservation.
Oh yea.. Make a Reservation; Trust me.
If you are having a hard trouble finding the place, look for the BLUE DOOR. It’s there.
Overall I give this place 4 out of 5 stars.
WILL GO AGAIN."

"I really really like Aja, but the improvements to the newly re-opened 1066 Eno are fantastic. Most of the favorite from the old menu are still there but they've added some really amazing additions. Most notable - the dumplings! The sea bass & carrot, shrimp and lobster sampler is outstanding. We were told there is a new chef who specializes in the dumplings and you can tell. Definitely not the "frozen" dumplings you get at most asian restaurants - the dough is so fresh and ingredients are perfect! Sushi is still delicious and clean and fresh. No need for all the fancy rolls because the fish stands out on it's own. Service is great as always and the manager, Phoebe makes sure all customers have an outstanding experience"

"I enjoyed the wonderful cocktails in the bar the Ruby Red was delicious! It was a great way to start the evening and as it was a large group an opportunity for everyone to mingle and chat. The dinning area was intimate and fun with a great decor and creative ambience. My party was a wide selection of tastes to satisfy and the great range in the menu satisfied everyone! The staff were accommodating and fun would definately return!"

"Eno is a great place to eat. The scenery inside is really relaxing and accommodating and the waitstaff is excellent. I recommend this to anyone who loves Asian food and likes a nice change of pace. It's very easy to locate being on the corner of 1st ave and 58th st. The only problem is it's a bit pricey for how much food you get, and even then, while the food was pretty good, it wasn't worth roughly $20+ an entree. All in all, worth going to for something different, but I wouldn't recommend it as a prominently recurring place to dine at."
