    I've been eating at various Sushi Enya locations for over a decade and this was my first truly negative experience. My family each ordered the premium omakase and we found this particular omakase offering to fall far short of what we've come to expect from Sushi Enya. Further, we were sat next to a table of 5 kids and 1 adult. Normally, I don't have a problem with children at nicer restaurants but these kids were unruly and very distracting. It is probably more of a commentary on the kids' parent but when we're paying over $200 a person for a nice meal, I would have expected the staff to do something.

    The ginger was somewhat dry. The miso soup was not warm enough. The cucumber salad was quite good. They made a mistake on the bill. Overall too pricey for the quality.

    Sushi chef Alex was incredible! He really the Omakase experience to suit me and my husband. I had eaten beforehand so I got the regular Omakase and my husband got the premium Omakase Alex made sure that our servings matched up with each each other and when there were courses where my husband had a serving but I did not they included a little extra bite in his so I could participate throughout. Alex did not skimp on the black truffle, the caviar, and the Uni. And the premium Omakase was a true dining experience! My only feedback is that the serving staff seems untrained especially with compared to the excellence of Chef Alex. They often interrupted us mid sentence while we were talking so they could ask if we wanted anything, reached over us when removing items, lacked knowledge of menu items, and when wanted to try a different type of sake for our second bottle of sake…the server expected us to have the sake menu memorized rather than bringing us the menu to choose from. Our experience with Chef Alex felt fine dining and elevated. Our experience with the floor staff felt less than that. But besides that, we loved it and we'll be back to sit with Chef Alex again, soon!

    The sweet shrimp, scallop, and yellow tail are so fresh and delicious, will definitely come back to try other dishes. Good varieties, other than just sushi and sashimi. Service is excellent, very personal chef, love the relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!
