Great sushi overall with a couple of different sushi combinations I've never heard of that were great! Their signature Akami Roll was absolutely delicious with a combination of textures that melted in your mouth. Hands down will visit again.

About the restaurant

Under new management; we are no longer taking any of regular dinning nor Omakase reservations.

Sushi Enya is a Japanese sushi restaurant that first opened in the heart of Little Tokyo in Downtown, LA. After five years of perseverance and experimentation in Downtown, LA, we opened our second location in beautiful Old Town Pasadena.
Our third location, which opened in 2018, is located in the beach city of Marina Del Rey.

Our owner Chef Kimiyasu Enya trained for over 10 years in Japan to perfect his craft.

It is our goal to ensure that quality remains consistent and every experience is enjoyable for all guests.

Amazing food! The passion for quality is always evident! The service is friendly. The Italian portion of the menu is as good as good as the Hungarian side and it rivals my favorite Italian restaurants.

Delicious flavors I've never had before and wonderful personal service. Be ready to commit more than three hours and hope your admiration for the presentation doesn't flag, as there is never a letup in chef's originality and imagination. Of our 17 courses, 14 were winners.
