We had an amazing time! The staff was attentive and they all worked really well together. They were busy and it seemed like we hardly had to wait for each order. Our sushi chef checked in with us after every order to make sure we liked it. They also asked us ahead of time if there were any allergies or food restrictions. We did omakase experience. It’s definitely something you have to experience at least once in your lifetime. I’m so happy we picked Sushi Enya in Little Tokyo. It was a little over $500 for the omakase experience, two bottles of sake and two extra orders of nagiri. Oh and they also gifted us a bottle of the house sake!

I'm not quite sure why this location got such high ratings. The food would have been ok but for a much lower price. We had the omakase thinking it would be special at about $160-180 per person it was super mediocre. Still a little perplexed... We're not new to omakase but at this place skip it and go with the a la carte menu.

Came here for Omakase on Xmas Eve. I had high hopes because I last year when I came here for omakase it was superb. But today I'm highly disappointed. Food was mediocre, sushi got a lot smaller, rice was stale (or undercooked?) and the sushi man did not seem to have the skills required for a $200/person omakase. Won't be coming back, better go back to my goto Slsushi place - sushi Gen.

My husband and I did the omakasa dinner. I enjoyed every bit of it and was sufficiently full afterwards. My husband is a picky eater and while he enjoyed much of it, there were a couple things he didn't get into (textures.) The chefs were amazing to watch and personalized my dinner. It's a smaller place than I expected so it was a little crowded, but not crazy. Would recommend and return again.

The Omakase was delicious! The chef selections were amazing. We let him pick whatever he wanted and it was so worth it. I definitely recommend coming here for the Omakase. Fresh, delicious, and such tasty food. It is pricey but worth it if you want the best sushi around.

We had a family get together and appreciated the friendly welcome and great service. The food was delicious! We shared a variety of rolls and ordered some hand rolls and individual plates. All beautifully plated.. especially love the yuzu roll. The mountain potato fries and truffle salt were so good we ordered seconds.

The restaurant is very low end despite the fact it shows up as $$$$. Service is very bad almost nobody speaks good English and completely do not understand what clients want from them. We were very disappointed with the look of the restaurant and with the service that we just payed for the water and left to another place that is really high end.

We had my birthday dinner with my husband and daughter. We loved this place. We made a reservation for 6:45 and got there on time. We were seated right away. The host and waitresses weee very knowledgeable and efficient. I ordered assorted sashimi, Lemon roll, Yuzu roll, sweet shrimp sushi, ikura. Their food was all 5 stars except the miso soup so just OK per my daughter who is a self-acclaimed miso soup expert, haha. Food was little expensive but I think it was worth it. Originally I was going to go to sushi gen but didn’t want to wait for over an hour. We would definitely go back, especially for special occasions. They even gave us a free and a very generous green tea ice cream with mochi for my birthday.

Loved the fact that our inside table was ready a little early so we were able to peruse the menu and order our appetizers quickly. The service was friendly and very efficient. The food was amazing! Loved the Mountain potato fries with truffle salt as one of our appetizers and we shared the Chirashi bowl, beautiful presentation, the Yuzu Roll and Chef's Choice #1 roll as well as some individual portions.
