The food reliably good, served quickly by a competent staff and nice they have both menu's. I highly recommend Enishi Kitchen. read more

I've been a loyal customer here for years, despite living about 20 minutes away. I've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars ordering from this restaurant because the food has always been worth the drive. Unfortunately, my most recent experience completely changed my opinion. I ordered a roll for my daughter with no avocado and added cucumber. When we got home, the roll only had crab inside. There was no cucumber at all. I called and simply asked for a refund, but I was told the chef insisted the cucumber was in the roll, so they refused. Instead, they told me to drive back so they could remake it. After driving another 20 minutes back (40 minutes of driving total), the employee inspected the roll herself and immediately saw that there was, in fact, no cucumber. So the issue I reported from the beginning was real. What disappointed me most wasn't the mistake. Mistakes happen. It was being treated like my word wasn't trustworthy after years of supporting this business. Rather than believing a loyal customer or offering a simple refund, I had to waste my time and gas proving that the order was incorrect. It makes me wonder if one roll was really worth losing a long-time customer. Customer service is about how you handle mistakes, and unfortunately this experience left me feeling undervalued. I hope management reconsiders how situations like this are handled in the future. read more

I really enjoyed my time here the sushi was good and we also ordered shrimp and vegetable tempura with miso soup that was delicious. The service was amazing and the ambiance was very lively with lots of families and friends enjoying their time there. read more

Enishi Kitchen - 2. Dream Come True in the front 12. Dragon Roll in the middle - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brentwood, California

Does anyone else feel awkward when picking up their to go order and the cashier is standing over you while you sign your receipt as if they are pressuring you to tip and literally watching which box you check and everything it's a little uncomfortable and makes me feel bad. I've been told tipping isn't necessary when picking up to go but I usually still tip something. But even then I feel the pressure to tip higher with them staring me down. It's still my favorite Chinese and sushi spot but man sure wish they'd back up and not make the encounter so uncomfortable. read more

I know others love this place but we had a favorite place for Friday night Chinese food and it closed down. This does not mean this was our second choice, we just kept trying different dishes over the years and couldn't quite get the right dishes. I knew we wouldn't be able to replicate our favorite combo, but this is close! I think we have the right combo! The girl at the front desk was so helpful! Here goes: 1. Pineapple fried rice (dish that kept us coming back) 2. Salt & Pepper Shrimp (who knew it would be so hard to find batter fried shrimp!) 3. Szechuan beef (yay!) 4. Good veggie chow mein!!! 5. The spicy chicken would have been better if it was crispy fried like the beef but maybe I just prefer Szechuan style. read more

We typically have takeout from Enishi for Chinese and dine in when we go for sushi. However, we recently dined in twice for Chinese and both times were fantastic. The service is always great. The tables are fairly close together which can be a little awkward, but nothing terrible. Also interesting that they have 2 portable air conditioners running in the dining room during summer. The chicken chow fun was my favorite, followed closely by the green bean beef. My daughter loves the sesame chicken. It is sweet, but they do a good job of balancing the crispy/saucy texture. (That is another benefit of dining in) I'm glad they are usually busy, because it's hard to find good American-Chinese food in the area. We will definitely be back. read more

Swung by with the parents after an afternoon of cherry picking! Parking was pretty easy to find since the restaurant is located in a plaza. Got there a little before 4:30pm (wasn't really busy and not super loud) and were seated immediately. We were served with ice water, and the table was already set with forks and napkins. Took a while to decide what we wanted but didn't have to wait very long after ordering for the food to come out! - Wonton Soup - not sure why I was under the impression that it was going to be an individual serving, but they served it to us in the bigger soup bowls seen in Chinese restaurants and also ladeled the soup out for us! Super light and mild in flavor. Came with 8 wontons, some spinach, carrot slices, and slivers of pork. I really wanted something soupy, so this hit the spot, but nothing to write home about. Wontons were a bit small, though for less than $10, you really can't complain. - Mongolian Beef - definitely quite spicy (but also keep in mind my spice tolerance isn't the highest) and flavorful! Beef was pretty tender - Beef Chow Fun - also really solid option and flavorful as well! Honestly surprised by the the quality you're getting for the price, though the portion is definitely smaller than what you'd find for a higher price in the bay. Ended up placing another order of this to go, but the one we had for dine-in tasted a lot better Overall, we weren't really sure what to expect, but my Chinese parents and I were pretty impressed by the Mongolian Beef & Beef Chow Fun. We live quite a distance away, so don't see ourselves coming back, but if you're in the area and really craving some Beef Chow Fun, I think you should consider checking this place out ! read more

Rainbow roll had barely any fish on top. I asked the server, and she sent to manager over who basically told me it's the "chef's choice" and wouldn't even offer an additional slice. The quality of this restaurant has definitely gone down since the last time I was here. Chelsea's in downtown Brentwood is so much better! read more

Not happy at all! Ordered $150 worth of food. 3 rolls. Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Prawns, and Sesame Chicken. All looked like they were in small containers. Not to mention asked for each roll to have Unagi sauce and for them not to forget on each roll when I ordered. Not only did they not put unagi sauce on my rolls that were suppose to have them. They gave us one little sauce. So they expect 3 people to share one little sauce and mix germs. On top of that they give 4 little measly fortune cookies. So I order basically 8 meals and they give us 4 cookies. THIS RESTAURANT IS BEYOND CHEAP AND HORRIBLE TO THERE CUSTOMERS THAT ACTUALLY KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK! Even when we have eaten in u ask for a napkin and they literally give you ONE. You ask for a bunch of napkins and they give you just ONE more! Like what is wrong with you people. Won't be back. I suggest if you bring a family in, you want quality food and you're hungry don't come here! read more

Got there at 11:30 to meet up with two friends. Place was quiet and we were seated right away and our server was amazing. Food was great. We chose from the Chinese side of the menu and we got lunch specials. We all enjoyed our food. The waitress noticed the birthday bags on the table and without prompting, she brought over a dessert plate and turned in the birthday song. It was so great! My friends who both shared a birthday enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to go back! read more

Enishi is one of my local goto restaurants. It's located within a plaza with a huge parking lot for convenience. Handicapped parking spaces available and easy access to inside the restaurant. Ambience: -It's family friendly -lots of tables to accommodate large parties and families -bar seating -it can get pretty loud so not so much a total romantic spot for new couples -lighting is on point where it's not so bright but makes the area cozy to dine Service: -always friendly -very helpful in providing feedback on certain items on their menu -staff checks on you to see if you need anything but doesn't excessively check to annoy someone trying to eat -very attentive ... they come by to ask if refill needed for drinks / water at the right times Food: - Love that we have options in ordering Chinese Cuisine and Japanese Cuisine - Their chow mein is never dry / great amount of proteins (prawns) / so flavorful that you don't need to add anything else to it (like soy sauce) - Fried Rice is not oily like other restaurants / great amount served / vegetable to meat ratio is good - Sweet and Sour Pork is one of my faves: stays crispy if I get the sauce on it / not overly sweet / perfect amount being served on an entree plate - String Beans Beef / Eggplant Tofu / Stir Fried String Beans: are also my goto veggie order and you won't regret it. Love love their black bean sauce they use and the string beans stay crispy / never overcooked / protein ratio is on point / eggplant and tofu is just so delicious ... you would just have to order to believe me and you won't regret it - Mongolian Beef is my son and hubby fave: Perfect spice to it and protein ratio to veggies is generous / amount service is also a great portion So needless to say i love coming here to eat in or for take out. Great service / close to proximity to me and conveniently around a super market and other local businesses / awesome food and options / welcoming vibe to enjoy great food read more

We can't decide if we like the Chinese food or the Japanese food the most. Both cuisines come out quickly and the service is excellent. There is something for everyone on the menu, too. Go and enjoy! read more

Loved the food and service. Portiins were large and prices were fair. Dishes came very fast! Mu shu pork was fabulous. Pancakes were a teensy bit on thicker side but held the mu shu without spilling. House chow fun was very tasty with a good amount of noodles. The pieces of beef and pork in it were a bit on the small side. The stir-fried green beans were so crispy with a light flavorful sauce. The yellow curry shrimp was not my favorite but had a generous amount of prawns. The place was extremely loud both due to patrons and the kitchen. Beeping timers were not turned off quickly. A birthday song played way too loud for too long. read more

Horrible customer service. We sat there for almost 10 minutes and no one came to serve us water or take our order. There were only two other couples in the restaurant and 4 servers. We walked out and left. Will not be back. read more

We have been going here for years. They are great, fair prices and good quality. It's great for lung and dinner

We have never had a bad meal at Enishi , but boy was this one terrible. Friday 10/3. We hadTake out.The food had no flavor at all! The chow mean noodles were over cooked & mushy The Kung Pao was not spicy. No flavor.How can you mess up a spicy dish like that? The chicken was like rubber. I think I will find a another Chinese restaurant to try. read more

I have been here several times with my parents. Every time has been a great visit with great service and delicious food. This time we started with Crab Rangoons and Enishi roll. I wanted to get my dad the Uni special but they were already sold out. For dinner to share, we ordered the Honey Walnut Prawns, Kung Pao Beef, Salt and Pepper Chicken, and BBQ Pork Fried Rice. In all my visits and my parents visits, we have never been disappointed with the quality or taste of the food. read more

My favorite item would have to be the shrimp chow mien. It was pipping hot, and taste delish. I couldn't say the same for the salt and pepper chicken wings- there was way too much breading, and does not have taste of salt n pepper. I also ordered the treasure island roll, which was a tad disappointing, the poke in which I did not try was ok. Service was good. At one point I asked for something and the waitress was super cool. "BRB" she responded. I've never heard this ever from a restaurant person. Ambiance is chill. Would I come back? Probably only for the chow meins read more

We love Enishi! Service is always good! Servers always friendly & smiling! Food is delicious!

We went there for the first time to have lunch. We had a couple of Bento Boxes and beer. We both had the chicken katsu since they did not have any pork katsu as one of the two choices. The katsu was very dry and not to our liking. Their mixed tempura was OK as was the service. We'll be back to try their Chinese food which hopefully will be better or maybe have some sushi. We'll see how it goes. read more

Another great meal from Enishi Kitchen. This review is strictly for the curly haired, young lady working the phones and managing the take-out counter. She's a rockstar and deserves a massive raise. I ordered via phone call and arrived to pick up my food. This place was slammed, and the front of the restaurant was very busy. This young lady was answering phone calls (2-at a time), hosting, grabbing orders from in back, taking customer walk-in orders, and still managing the line of people in front of her waiting to pick up their orders or waiting for a table. Kuddos to her! She's a rockstar! She stayed up bear, positive, and was managing everything with ease. Enishi, you're very lucky to have her on your team. read more

Service and food were excellent food was delicious and served hot with great flavors plate 1 was general chicken just the right spice with fried rice and hot and sour soup.Dish 2 was honey walnut prawns with steamed rice and salad good portions and well flavored and again service was excellent.Very extensive sushi menu as well Restrooms needed updated but overall okay read more

3/5 Stars I've been coming to Enishi Kitchen for a while now, and they usually do a great job--both with the food and their exceptional service. However, my last visit was a bit of a letdown. I placed an order for pickup, and when I arrived, they were clearly busy, which I understand. But after checking in at the front desk, I ended up waiting much longer than necessary--only to realize my food had been sitting there for about five minutes while staff rushed around. No one acknowledged me after the initial check-in, and I had to flag someone down to finally get my order. The food itself was fine, but the experience just felt disorganized. Normally, this is a solid spot for takeout, but this visit was lackluster. Hoping this was just an off night! read more

Was in the mood for sushi one day so decided to try this place out. Small place, with the sushi bar in the middle so limited seating. We tried the Nancy roll, sunset, and Lion king. They were all good. Server forgot to bring my soda so had to ask another person for it. Got charged twice for soda. I saw it on the tab and told the server who gladly took it out. Will try them again as there are lots of rolls to choose from! read more

This used to be one of my favorite places. Not any more. The prices increase and quality goes down regularly. It has become very inconsistent and sometimes when I order the same item it's good other times it is not. They also take forever to make the food and if they say it's 30 min to be ready it is closer to 50. The final straw was me ordering an online order and asking to add baby corn to a dish and receiving a phone call from them saying they would be charging me $3 more for baby corn! This has never been an upcharge before and it's ridiculous. Time to find a new place read more

I'm a big fan of this place! My wife and I only have gotten take-out twice so I can't judge the experience inside the restaurant. We enjoyed their salt and pepper fried chicken wings!! This is delicious and reminds me of the same item from one of my favorite places back home. I love eating this with chili oil and plain white rice; you can't go wrong. We also tried their honey walnut prawns which were just ok. The breading was a bit too thick and wasn't crispy; they were actually soggy. The shrimp itself is good of course but everything else was just eh about it. It only had a few pecans which normally we love a decent amount on our honey walnut prawns. We can't wait to come here and try more dishes! The last time I came to pick up our dinner take-out, this restaurant was packed with a busy service. We'll be coming soon! read more

We went to Enishi Kitchen on and the air conditioning working was not working. Seriously thought about leaving, but we had reservations and it's difficult to get into a restaurant around here on a moment's notice. Went to use the restroom and couldn't believe how filthy the back of the restaurant was. We used to eat here on a regular basis five years ago, I have no clue what is going on with this restaurant right now. But I do not recommend it! read more

Came in Thursday night 10/23, this place was packed and it seemed like they were understaffed since we kept asking for things and had to keep reminding them but NEVER got what we asked for. We were looking for a manager to see what was going on and never came out!! Very upsetting and frustrating since this used to be our favorite place, but decent customer service is the bare minimum. Will NOT be coming back and NOT recommending this place. read more

This place used to be really good, but lately food quality has been off like having no flavor, being cold, togo orders are taking forever!! They also look short staffed all the time since they always have the same amount of staff whether it is busy or slow. Ambiance is still the same, nothing too special for a Japanese/Chinese kitchen nowadays. I do not recommend this place since they have not been consistent lately and not sure if they switched management recently. read more

I ordered the Lion King Roll and I've never had a roll completely fall apart before but not only was there barely any rice but the entire roll just disintegrated and ended up being a container or rice and fish. It was the most disappointing sushi meal I've ever had. I'm extremely upset. read more

This is a hidden gem that I have found in Brentwood CA. One night I was desperately wanting to eat Sushi but my favorite Sushi master had retired from Kampala during Covid. So there really wasn't anywhere else that I would find great quality sushi locally. That is Until Enishi Kitchen. First nite I had spicy edamame, sashimi, a hand roll and SF Giant. OMG the flavor bomb that hit my palette when I ate the Spicy edamame and then forth. I have never been so happy and satisfied since my old sushi master at Kanpai (Brentwood). If I could give this spot 10 stars I would.Thank You Enishi for restoring my faith in Sushi Locally again!! Hats off to the Staff! Decor is inviting as well!! Sushi and Food Top Notch!! read more

This is our go to for Chinese & Japanese cuisine. You must have patience as you'll probably have to wait for a table.... Luckily the food comes out relatively fast. The ingredients are always fresh. The ahi just melts in your mouth. Happy we finally found a place here! Lastly, their prices are reasonable. read more

My favorite chinese takeout place. i love that they have japanese and chinese food. my favorite dish is the tofu eggplant entree.

Poor customer service. I picked up a delivery for a client here Friday night. It was busy & the front desk hostess checked on the order that I was waiting on a few times. She kept informing me that the order was not ready. After waiting more than a normal time, I asked her if she can give me a time? She then told me that she did not see the order confirmation anywhere around, while still trying to have me just wait around and hope that the order came out. ( if I had not asked her, she would not have gave me that information ). The hostess went on to go talk to the Male owner in which she found out that a staff member confirmed the order as it came in, but did not put it in to be made for the client. The male owner Then try to explain to me that an item on the order took a while to cook. I waited/ wasted my time of a total of 40 minutes due to their negligence. read more

Review is for the service not the food! Ordered a pretty large takeout order for my family tonight. This was our first time ordering from Enishi after hearing tons of great things about their food. Unfortunately the customer service was HORRIBLE from their manager JASON. We ordered from their online menu - 2 orders of CREAM CHEESE wontons -- get home and go to bite into one and notice that there is CRAB in them! I called the restaurant and informed a very nice girl about what happened. She genuinely was sorry for the mistake. Jason however argued with me and stated that "that's how their cream cheese wontons come, with imitation crab" I informed him that the online menu only states they contain cream cheese, I am VERY allergic to iodine (which imitation crab has in it). He was very rude and told me "that's your problem we didn't make a mistake" I informed him this was a huge mistake and HEALTH HAZARD. After multiple times of stating this could have resulted in a horrible situation he finally demanded the card number we used to pay for the meal to refund the money. Food itself that we could eat was very yummy. Service however will make us probably never return as customers. read more

4 stars for the service, our waiter did good! 4 stars for the price of the food. The food is good not great, but good enough. The place is small and in the entrance area where the podium is kind of untidy. All in all it's 3.5 to 4 stars read more
