What started as a backup plan on Father's Day ended up becoming our new favorite sushi spot! We originally planned to eat at another sushi restaurant, but they told us they couldn't fit us in. Thankfully, that led us to discover this hidden gem that we probably never would have tried otherwise. We came with our toddler, and having high chairs available was a huge plus for us. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but honestly, that's part of its charm. It feels cozy, welcoming, and has really cool lighting that gives the place a great atmosphere. We started with the cucumber salad and gyoza. The cucumber salad was incredibly refreshing, and the gyoza was so good that our son absolutely DEVOURED it. For sushi, we ordered the Rock N Roll, Caterpillar Roll, Super Star Roll, and Dragon Roll. Every single roll was delicious. My personal favorite was the Super Star Roll--it was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing. The Rock N Roll was a close second with the perfect spicy kick. The service was quick, and our server was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Honestly, I'm so glad the other restaurant turned us away because we ended up finding a place that we like even more. We'll definitely be back, and this has officially become our new go-to sushi spot! read more

Really wanted to like this place, so much so we went back the next weekend to give them another chance. You know I love good sushi and seafood in general!! Space: The atmosphere is inviting. About 9 or 10 seats that mostly sit 4 at the most and 1 table for 6-7 near the front door. The first Saturday we were sat at the front, don't recommend the A/C blows downward right on your face. The following Saturday we were sat at the back side. The kitchen window is located here, so if you're sitting on the two seaters expect interruptions due to staff taking the plated orders from this window and moving the dish cart around here. Service: The ladies are nice. However, on both occasions they forgot items that came with the bento and the Omakase, and our beers. That's that, nothing too big or small on service. F O O D: They have all the general rolls, and they do have their own special called Onotoro (I think), a tuna roll, it was good and would fit into a "general rolls" category. They also have a special menu, features premium tuna cuts and house specials, see pics. Apps we had spicy edamame (sweet side), combo tempura, fried calamari (came with sweet and sour sauce instead of spicy mayo) - straight forward on taste for these. Mains: See pics! -Uni Hand Roll (Special menu) - They paired it w/ mint leaf I believe and it was off putting. This leaf was not listed on the menu but we're open to trying new styles and it did not hit! -Omakase - It doesn't come out tiered like the photo lol.. Seems like it would be a show stopper and good advertising if I had posted it. They also didn't explain the fish, I had to ask what it all was - Typically the chef or server explains Omakase. If you don't mind the chef choosing the nigiri, then this is a good starter compared to their individual nigiri pricing. -Chicken Katsu Bento - Chicken was crispy and juicy. Came with salad, gyoza, tempura, Cali roll, the forgotten miso soup -Poke Bowl (Special menu) - We didn't ask what type of fish since it was chef choice - It was red tuna and maybe white tuna (not premium), however this bowl was on the sweeter side of the palate. It wasn't our preference, it was a no for us. If you like sweet raw fish, this might be for you. -Uni Nigiri - For it being out of season, this was my favorite dish. Straight forward buttery goodness. -Yellow Tail Roll - At new sushi joints I always order basic rolls just incase **I really wanted to try the Tuna Tataki, it only comes with 3pcs for $18 but pictured on their menu is 6!?!?! Let me know about this one fellow eaters. I missed getting a pick of the Bento/Ramen menu Overall, it's A-OK for us. For two people on both occasions, we paid around $160. I anticipated paying more, even if we got less food because we understand premium sushi - This was not that place for us. read more

Decided to come back and try this place again and there were many improvements! They made the back dining area less cramped, and added booths as well! Tried the Chirashi Bowl this time and it was good. I think the one thing that really stands out to me here is how delicious their sushi rice is. Seasoned very well and paired nicely with the fish. read more

I had the Bento box via doordash on 6/24. I found a wire in my food. I reached out via door dash and Instagram with no response. The other person in our group order has gi upset from the sushi . read more

Large, tall, dramatic drapes frame the front windows and entry to the newly expanded seating in the back with a nice chandelier and wall mural. Fast friendly service. Waitress was attentive and engaged with us. Sushi rolls were wonderful-We got the Caterpillar, Seared Scallop and Super Star. The Seared scallop had an elevated smokiness that I had never experienced with sushi and it was quite good. read more

A very nice new sushi spot in Tacoma! Sunday night, no wait! There is a tablet to join the waitlist in the restaurant which is nice! The food was very good & reasonably priced for Sushi and Fish. However, the seating was pretty cramped... kitchen overlaps with dining area a lot... servers were kind but not as attentive as we'd usually prefer. But overall, tasty rolls & appetizers! Would come back once in a while! read more

En Sushi is a solid new addition to Tacoma's sushi scene with a lively, upbeat atmosphere. We came on a Friday night and it was definitely busy, which gave the place great date night and group dinner vibes. The music was good, the energy was high, and the service was genuinely great; attentive without being overbearing. The ramen was the standout. My boyfriend rated it a 10/10, and honestly, it earned that score. Rich broth, perfectly cooked egg, and comforting in that "I'd come back just for this" way. The sushi, on the other hand, was good but not memorable. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Nothing bad at all, just nothing that made me rave or rush back specifically for the rolls. Solid execution, decent flavors, but it didn't wow. If you're looking for a lively night out, a casual date, or a group dinner spot, En Sushi is worth checking out, especially if ramen is your go-to. read more

I found this place on Instagram from one of the vegan foodies I follow. I heard they had a plant-based/vegan menu, and I immediately added it to my list to try! It took a couple weeks, but I finally visited with a friend, and we loved this place! We got here right when it opened at 11 am on a Sunday. We were greeted promptly and seated. The server gave us our menus, asked if we had been there before (we hadn't), and walked through the menus with us. I told him I was a vegan, and he directed me to the plant-based/vegan menu page. So many options for a vegan at this omni restaurant! The atmosphere was clean and fairly quiet. Granted, we were the first ones there, but even as it started filling up, it wasn't loud in there at all. The tables were close together but had enough wiggle room. The food was delicious. My friend is omni and loved her food, too. She also tried the vegan karaage and veggie spring rolls I ordered and liked both. The veggie spring rolls were the crispiest spring rolls I've ever had. They were SO good! The karaage was really yummy, too. I got the vegan boss roll, and it was so tasty. The tempura flakes were a great contrast to the creaminess of the avocado and the softness of the tofu (vegan cali). I couldn't pick out the taste of the vegan tuna much, but I'm sure it played its part in the whole flavor profile. Our server was great. He was very attentive, informative, friendly, and personable. Toward the end of our meal, he came by to tell me that the sushi chef and owner recognized me from the restaurant he previously owned in Bonney Lake! The chef owner was working hard (the restaurant had gotten quite busy in the hour and a half we were there), but he still chatted with us a bit over the partition. The server mentioned he's opened multiple sushi restaurants and will be opening another one in Olympia in the future. I can't wait to come back and try more of their vegan options. This will definitely be a regular spot for me. I'm excited to share it with my vegan and vegetarian friends. read more

I am a sushi snob. Food was bad. I usually order sushi to find out how the restaurant does. Horrible. Rice is hard like rock. Nori-seaweed is stale and no flavor and not even long enough to hold sushi. Wow, really? There are a lot of items in menu, which indicates not a good restaurant. This place looked authentic Japanese food place but wasn't:( place is clean and ambience is awesome. Good drink selection. Food was bad quality. Price is overpriced considering quality. FYI owner is not Japanese. Go figure. Sorry for the hard grading. But you can trust me on sushi reviews. read more

Came here for the first time with 4 of my friends. We didn't wait to be seated, we were seated right away. Nick took our orders, and everything was great. Our food actually took forever to be served. My noodles came first, but was able to finish them before other food came out. Then a bowl came out but no sushi yet. Nick kept us up to date about the sushi chef's being behind. We understand but still sucked bc we were hungry. When we ate the food it was delicious. Prices were a bit steep for sushi rolls but it was good. read more

If you're looking for an intimate, upscale sushi spot in Tacoma that feels like a romantic little secret... En Sushi is it. Tucked into a cozy space with a full bar and a refined Japanese menu, this is date-night territory. Think dim, warm lighting, perfectly balanced music, and just enough buzz in the room without it ever feeling loud. The temperature? Just right. The vibe? Intimate and intentional. This is not the spot for big birthday squads. The dining room is small and tables are close together in the front, though the back room offers a bit more privacy for deeper conversation. If you've got a large party, you'd likely need to book out the space entirely. Now let's get into the food. The yellowtail kama was crispy perfection -- flaky, refreshing, and beautifully executed. Easy 5/5. The nigiri omakase? An indecisive sushi lover's dream. Every piece felt thoughtful and high quality. It's the kind of experience where you just sit back, trust the chef, and enjoy. Another 5/5. And the sake selection? High-end, crisp, top-shelf options that absolutely elevated the meal. Also 5/5. If I had to name the standout, it's the omakase experience. I'd return just for that alone. A couple things to note: they don't take reservations, and space is limited. We waited about 15 minutes on a Friday night right before Valentine's Day, which honestly isn't bad at all. You join a waitlist when you arrive. Worth it -- but plan accordingly. Service was attentive, kind, respectful, and never rushed. We felt taken care of without feeling hovered over. Portions are shareable, pricing sits at $$$, and parking is street only. Bathrooms were clean and fully stocked (because we notice those details ). And yes -- queer-friendly. We felt extra welcomed, which always matters. If you're planning a romantic night out in Tacoma and want elevated sushi in an intimate setting, En Sushi absolutely delivers. read more

Beautiful food that was fresh and delicious. Cozy space with a comfortable vibe. The only small thing I would say is that the wine selection was really lacking and the server didn't know what they had, she also didn't know the names of the fish on my sashimi platter. She got the answer and was apologetic. Overall great and I would go back. I will practice my parallel parking first! read more

I don't mind that they are really superficial, it's a perfect little sushi place to take someone and impress them with the enclosure, however, I would only recommend their tempera, specifically, the asparagus is out of this world good. Everything else tasted 3/5 stars, which, I mean, based upon how it the entire place looks, doesn't seem right? (I have tried basically all of the sushi in the Tacoma area, Fujiyama, Mio, random no.7 teriyaki by the mall lol, etc.) read more

We had an incredible meal here yesterday! We ordered the Double Double and Godzilla rolls and miso soups and it was SO delicious! Everything was super fresh, the staff really friendly and attentive, The menu offering made it really hard to decide, and I will say the other dishes that went by us to other tables, the bento boxes, the soups all looked incredible. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated. This is our new favorite sushi spot for sure, and we've hit all of the popular spots around South Sound. Can't wait to try the Bento next! read more
