• Delicious as expected. IWe were unsure of the ice cream sandwich dessert but really enjoyed it. If you're stuffed and want a lighter dessert that's still satisfying this is it!

  by Tea K

  
  

• Food and ambiance are great but sooooo overpriced. $20 for 8 tiny tuna rolls??? Two apps, two drinks and two rolls cost my friend and $100+. Enjoyable but not worth cost

  by Jess B

  
  

• When in NY, I must have EN's salmon rice bowl. Rice is cooked with salmon for 40 min. It's come with roe & shredded shiso. It's insanely simple but tragically delicious. Cheaper option: garlic rice.

• Amazing sake and shochu list

  by Massimiliano P.

  
  

• Get the black truffle chawanmushi (egg custard), anything with uni, the tofu salad, and the salmon rice pot. Just trust. Reserve tatami rooms in the back for a big group.

  by Emily S

  by Gabriel H.

  
  

• One of the best upscale Japanese restaurants I have been to in New York City.

  by Gabriel H.

  
  

• The Uni Don special is very worth trying. I had never had sea urchin before, but I thought this was prepared tremendously with the roe, the wasabi and the seaweed.

  by Gabriel H.

  
  

• The black cod is one of the best dishes I have had. So naturally buttery and flavorful. Melts in your mouth. This dish is a must try.

  by Gabriel H.

  
  

• salt grilled salmon fro sunday brunch - epic

  by Stella m

  
  

• Uni don and duck warm soba are musts !

  by Michelle B

  by Johnny W.

  by Zubin

  
  

• Great sake list. They make tofu in house, so this is a must have. Nice lunch options at reasonable prices.

  by Sherry L.

  
  

• The space is really cool: high ceilings, cozy furniture and no music (shocker!). The food was really good: we tried the fried tofu and it was mind blowing. Then salmon rice and another tofu salad.

  by Elio A.

  
  

• Most beautiful space I've seen for a Japanese restaurant in the city. It's spacious and has high ceilings. The brunch menu is amazing I would recommend the sake teishoku (salmon).

  by Veronica Chou

  
  

• Cod, tofu, uni don, chocolate mochi doughnuts, green tea ice cream

  by CCnyc

  
  

• Love, love, love it! FYI: it's getting difficult to get a reservation. If you want to go, make your decision a week before you're actually ready to eat!

  by Stacey

  
  

• This is truly one of my favorite place in Manhattan... If you go, you MUST order the home made tofu (warm version) and Salmon Rice pot!!! Amazing!!!!

  by Nancerella

  
  

• Love the ambiance! Nice pricey date spot. Start off with Crab Miso Soup. Get the Kuroge Washugyu Taki Shabu. And get their Yuzu cocktail.

  by Ailie C.

  
  

• Gorgeous interior and all food beautifully cooked. Worth the price. Must try the warm house tofu!

  by Ina Li

  
  

• Do not order sashimi - the chutoro was not very fresh. Great ambience though.

  by Ivy Gan

  
  

• Sushi trying too hard to be West Village. Appetizers are impressively over-salted, rolls are on par with your standard Seamless takeout order. If you're looking for Japanese, head elsewhere.

• Tofu, restaurant week

  by Rachel Altvater

  
  

• EN is having a very special White Truffle Christmas Eve event! 9 courses of Alba white truffle decadence! Limited to 16 guests... http://bit.ly/1yxw6kF

• Everything is great, but in particular, the house made (hourly) fresh tofu, and the fried chicken (which comes with tofu).

  by Vic Z.

  
  

• Lousy rude waiter here. Food comes out at all different times. An entire cooked fish came out 45 minutes before a tiny appetizer. Left feeling wanting much more.

  by Brian P.

  
  

• Resto is extremely well lit at lunch with its large windows on the corner of hudson and leroy. The lunch sets offer great value vs. the dinner menu. The sashimi set was expertly done and satisfying.

  by Anuj M.

  
  

• Literally everything is good. Everything.

  by Eric G.

  
  

• Real ginger ale! Fresh fried chicken! Love the pork shabu shabu salad as well!

  by Beatrice

  
  

• Get chefs choice and make sure to try the handmade tofu. I dont even mess with tofu normally but this will vaporize your brain.

  by Kev S.

  
  

• Some uni meals leave a lasting impression on a foodie's soul. The uni don is undoubtedly one of those rare meals. Read more about my quest for the best uni at www.urchinsurchin.com.

• The vegetarian sashimi is an art and culinary experience. Would recommend trying it at least once.

  by Liang S.

  
  

• Miso black cod, braised pork belly.

  by Pei Chi R

  by Connie Chiu

  
  

• Black cod is a notch above Nobu.

  by James H.

  
  

• Scott Conant, chef of Scarpetta, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Truffle chawanmushi.

  by Chefs Feed

  
  

• The set menu lunch is expensive but a great value for the quality and portion size. We enjoyed the fried chicken and the tonkatsu.

  by Prashant 🚀 A.

  
  

• Wagyu beef was seared perfectly and beautifully presented. Highly recommend. As well as all the desserts!

  by Jessica Cheng

  
  

• The agedashi tofu here is made in-house, and is some of the best in NYC. Don't leave without trying the black sesame ice cream either.

  by Lori L.

  
  

• The fresh tofu is amazing.

  by David S.

  by Justin K.

  
  

• Tried a bunch of stuff and the black cod and pork belly were definitely the winners.

• Here's the right move: warm tofu x2, tuna and avocado salad, black cod, pork belly, garlic fried rice.

  by Matt D.

  
  

• Try the Okara- it's delicious. Braised in shoyu & shot through w. tender bits of shiitake mushrooms, carrots, & snow peas, the okara has a crumbly, slightly spongy texture. Give it a try!

• Go to sake tasting ('til 7:30 everyday): just pick your own 3 flights to sample. Also sign up for their 50 Sake Tasting event. Try the Toyo Bijin junmai dai ginjo if available.
