I'm a huge sushi and sashimi lover, so I tend to be pretty particular about freshness and quality. Overall, the sushi at Enso Sushi was decent enough and seemed fresh enough for the most part, but the experience was brought down quite a bit by the service. The service during lunch was extremely slow, even though the restaurant really was not that busy at the time. It felt difficult to get checked on or get simple things in a timely manner. Mentioned to two different waiters that my husband was still waiting on his Arnold Palmer and at end of the meal still never got it and we still had to remind them to remove it from our bill at the end. The biggest issue for me was the albacore sashimi that day. It did not taste very fresh, and when I politely mentioned it to the waiter, instead of acknowledging that fish can occasionally be off or nearing the end of freshness, he responded in a somewhat condescending way explaining that albacore "just tastes different" than other fish. As someone who eats sushi regularly, I understand the difference in flavor profiles between fish -- this tasted more like it may have been on its way out. Not a terrible experience overall, but definitely not one that matched the level of service or quality I was hoping for. read more

True to form for an authentic sushi shop in a place like Denver. Ate here for a work lunch and I was very pleased with the experience. The restaurant is casual but has classy vibes with extras on finishes. Obviously well kept and very clean. The server was also very patient, attentive, and on top of things as we had a large group and had some late joiners after the initial group had ordered. Sushi was good but it was a pretty expensive lunch for my standards. I ordered the Foxy Lady Roll ($20) and a California Roll ($8). The Foxy Lady was a good order from the specialty rolls if you like spicy salmon and some heat with your rolls. Having tempura or some crunchy element would have set this roll up in my mind but I'm a picky Americanized sushi eater. California Roll was just a control group for me on this visit- pretty average. read more

I'm a sushi connoisseur and must give this place two enthusiastic chopsticks up! For a smaller establishment, they do it right by showing a genuine concern for their customers' experience. I ordered the Tuna Three-way, which blew my Sushi-loving socks off! I just wish they had some sort of happy hour to help them compete with the rest of DTC and bring some more butts in the seats. read more

Had a daughter and mom date with my mini-me here tonight. She adores sushi and we love the area so we were excited to give this a try. The ambiance and decor are great- such a fun place for date night or a fun but chill evening. Food was pretty good... we got the salted edamame (my daughter loves it.. pretty standard), the crispy rice with spicy tuna (meh... not the best in town by any measure), the Philly roll (again standard) and the yummy yummy roll (indulgent... the star of the show tonight). Service was great- wait team was attentive and very friendly. read more

I was very happy with my experience here! It's a nice and quiet atmosphere and the service was friendly and speedy quick. We were seated, orders were taken, food delivered and eaten all in about 30 minutes. I didn't personally try the sashimi lunch, but man was my monster roll delightful! read more

Service was fantastic, food was well presented, all in all a good meal. Faves were the toro trio and the hamachi nigiri! read more

I've hesitated to Yelp! Enso's for a few years because it's consistently delicious and reasonably priced and, frankly, I was fearful it would become so popular we wouldn't be able to drop in regularly and get a table without a reservation. It's fresh, high quality sushi with very attentive staff in a casual and non pretentious setting. The saké toro is so buttery and flavorful it's ridiculous! Over the last several years we've explored most of the appetizers and sushi options on the menu and we've never once had something we didn't love. This place is a gem and while I've kept it quiet for years, Enso's deserves all the attention and business for their quality and consistency. read more

We loved this place! Our friends come here so often that the server knows them! The server was AMAZING! He was super helpful with any questions we had, and was very knowledgeable. My boyfriend asked about their Sake offerings and what he would like, and the server helped him find the perfect one for his palate! I ordered the hibachi dinner with steak and shrimp. The steak was buttery and the shrimp was flavorful! It also came with miso soup and a house salad. I cannot remember the price, but I think it was about $26 which it totally fair in my opinion for how much you get! read more

Dinner at Enso was absolutely fantastic. Alex took care of us and did an amazing job guiding us through the menu and pointing out a few incredible dishes. Everything that came out was delicious especially the miso black cod. The entire space is cute and comforting with a great team both in the front and in the kitchen. read more

Excellent: sushi/sashimi, clam soup, shrimp tempura, gyoza, server (Alex). Okay: hibachi meals. Needs improvement: shrimp shumai. Noise level: not offensively loud. Will return. Often. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. Unfortunately, their hours had changed and we missed them a couple of times. Since traffic was not bad, we took the other route back from the airport. Arriving about 1:30pm, I had to contend with a few other drivers and geese in the parking. The restaurant still had a few patrons from the lunch hour. The windows were tinted enough to let some light in. They had a few different chef's special rolls that we found intriguing. We settled on the Bincho, Taco, Unagi, and Kanpachi Nigiri with Fantastic Roll (Tuna, salmon, mango, avocado & fried onion inside, mix green salad, topped withstrawberry sauce); Naruto Roll (yellowtail; cucumber wrapped with avocado & masa), Toro Trio (Yellowtail toro avocado and scalllion topped with toro of tuna and salmon and chef's special sauce). The Toro Trio was our favorite. There are a couple of more rolls that we are interested in trying so it seems another visit is warranted. read more

Had a lunch here today ordering the beef bento box with California rolls. The beef role is prepped so thin and combined with some green onion. Great service but I may try the sushi options next time. read more

Parking is plenty, the ambiance is chill, service was friendly & the food is good! The waiter kept saying "sweetie" though and it's a bit cringe, but that's just me. I got the Hibachi Filet Mignon & it was really good! The sauce was a bit garlic-y to me but if you love garlic, then it won't be an issue at all. I also got Thai iced tea -- very yummy. I'm a sucker for good Thai iced teas. read more

Yikes... I dunno where to start, so here's just a bulleted list of our experience: -Wait: Not bad; no reservations and we got in with a short 5-min wait on a Saturday night -Service: We waited for a solid 15 minutes before getting any acknowledgement; let alone waters or our order. I get it- it's busy, but when we see tables next to us getting through 2 or 3 courses before our order goes in, that feels like poor timing. Also- know sure if it was just an off night- be we saw several spills, broken glasses, etc. The table next to us had like half a bowl of soup spilled onto their table by the server.... thankfully, everyone kept their cool (on both sides), but it was a bit awkward to witness. Maybe someone should take a breather outside? -Food: Marginal at best. Our sushi was less than impressive- and for the price we paid, we most definitely could have gone elsewhere. Also- you ever see the person who eats at a fancy restaurant but goes home and still eats a hamburger? That was us- we left still hungry, and ended up heating a pizza at home. Rough... maybe I'll check it out again on a business lunch when I'm not footing the bill? But not rushing back anytime soon. read more

I used to eat at this location before they changed owners and was a bit skeptical when I wanted to try it. On a rainy Saturday, I took the afternoon to give it a try and found it to be delightful! I was admittedly the only person in the restaurant for a bit but it was two in the afternoon, so the service was impressive however it stayed consistent even when they got busy. Side note, I have been many times now and it is always impeccable and they are quite busy many lunches and dinners! The fish is sourced from China rather than Japan (I think I learned that) and you can opt for any roll to be served in cucumber rather than rice, which I love! I tend to get the chefs sashimi plate but their rolls are unique and incredible! My absolute number one is the toro carpaccio, just so delightful! It is a very open and bright space but feels intimate as well. I really enjoy so much about this place! read more

I love this place! I always order the sashimi dinner. Yummm! The chef and wait staff are wonderful

Food was great, service was awesome even though we were in close to closing. The pot stickers and the sauce were really good

First of all, big "Congratulations" to the restaurant and its staff for the grand opening just a few days ago!! I was so elated to find out, upon asking the manager type person when I went there to place my to-go order earlier this evening, that it opened just two days ago under a new ownership and that I was one of the first customers to experience this new kid on the block. And I'm the very first to write a review about it. I certainly was humbled by it! I was warmly welcomed by pretty much every staff upon entering it. It's was 23 minutes after 5pm so it was still early for dinner on this beautiful Saturday night in DTC. There was only 1 family that was dining at the time. I only wanted a few to several items from the menu so I went with Miso Black Cod, Tuna Tataki, and Hamachi (nigiri). I was told it'd be about 10 min so I went to the boutique next door to kill time. When I went back there my order was completely ready. The young lady at the reception (she might possibly a waitstaff, too) almost came out of the restaurant to give me my food. What a great service! Miso Black Cod: was well-marinated with miso with the right amount of saltiness. It was cooked to perfection where the texture was impeccably tender and moist. I really liked the fact that it was placed over a bed of asparagus. It was a decent portion even for an appetizer. I found it a bit odd though that it was accompanied by several cherry tomatoes (cooked/pan-fried); just a frank opinion of it. Hamachi (nigiri): Bit small (especially the rice part) but very fresh. Hamachi can be hit and miss. It has to be absolutely fresh or it'll taste nothing but fishy. With that said, their hamachi gained my approval. Tuna Tataki: This was also good. The portion is pretty generous for the kind of price ($14). A very shallow ponzu sauce was at the bottom of the to-go container. There was absolutely no need for me to use soy sauce or anything else when I ate it. I simply placed it over my warm rice and ate it like I always do. This is now my go-to sushi place in my neighborhood. Surviving as a restaurant in this tech center might be tough no matter the economy as I have seen many restaurants come and go. I wish nothing but the best for this new business!! Keep up the good work! read more

They opened more recently and me and a co-worker decided to try it for lunch. The space is very open and the staff was inviting. We were sat immediately and one of the booths and the waitress came over to take our order. The menu has some traditional Japanese items (sushi, appetizers, etc). I went with a salmon roll & tobiko sushi. Nice experience and great location. read more

My usual experience here is amazing but whatever you guys did to the filet mignon hibachi tonight was not good. Did you change the meat? Usually it's so tender and melts in your mouth but tonight's was just chewy and not good. Go back to the old meat, this is like chewing gum. I will be dining here again. read more

My husband and I went here to try the lunch special. It was an incredible deal at $16 for two rolls and the soup. You could also choose salad. They have multiple lunch specials, but we liked this one. All of the sushi was fresh and absolutely mouthwatering. The miso soup was honestly some of the best I have had, and was incredibly well balanced. This is my new favorite sushi spot in the Denver Tech area. I loved the atmosphere as well. It was incredibly chic and welcoming with fantastic service! read more

I travel to the Denver area multiple times a month but this was the first time at Enso. This was some of the best sushi I've had since I was in Okinawa in 2002, and by far the absolute best "strip mall sushi" I've ever encountered. The staff were very knowledgeable, made fantastic recommendations, and were very friendly. I am definitely a future repeat customer. read more

Stopped here around early lunchtime on the way from COS to DIA, and on a cold December weekday, it was pretty empty. People started showing up as we dined. Sat at the sushi bar, and ordered sashimi and some rolls. Everything was delicious - tender fish, great flavor, good preparation. The miso soup had the right balance of salt and umami, and the tea hit the spot. Even the music was good! After looking at other reviews, I think we may have benefitted from having focused attention from the chef, but regardless we very much enjoyed our meal. Frankly I have not explored the sushi scene in Denver (or Colorado in general... landlocked state, ya know) but would definitely come here again when passing through. read more

This place might not seem like much but it is phenomenal! The fish here is great and i've never been disappointed after 5 trips back. I highly recommend any of the salmon dishes as they are so fresh (especially the foxy lady roll). Everything is so flavorful and balanced. The service is also wonderful! Our waitress recognized us and even remembered what we ordered the last time we were there! She does a great job with some of our niche requests and helps appease everyone's taste buds. It's got a clean interior and the food always come super fast! This place is wonderful! read more

I went early on a weekday afternoon, so I got the staff's very friendly undivided attention. After spending a few days in California, where sushi prices have gotten stupid expensive, it was nice to find this little gem near the Tech Center. The sushi roll pieces were sized appropriately for the price; the nigiri maybe just a tiny bit on the smaller side. Everything tasted good and fresh. Will definitely be back! Skype informed me that they'll soon institute a Happy Hour from 4-6pm, taking possibly up to 30% off the bill during that time! read more

Wonderful new sushi restaurant! I'm so glad this opened in the DTC. The people that work there are so kind and welcoming. The service was great. The food was top quality - really good cuts of fish.

Nice looking place, but very unimpressed for the Money.... Much better places in the area for less. Sashimi had to have been a week old at least. Starting to get that fishy smell we don't like. Salad was pathetic!! Cheap iceberg lettuce & watered down ginger dressing, nothing else ‍ Service was ok, but I was the only person there and it seemed like I was a slight nuisance. Made the mistake of sitting at the bar, not sure what genius thought it was a good idea to put super short chairs at a tall bar and serve sashimi in a very deep bowl . The pic of the bowl is at eye level and I'm 6'3"..... meaning it was difficult to eat anybody under 5'10 would need a booster seat Fun menu, but again... for the price I'd much rather go somewhere else close by. read more

Best California roll. If they spend this much effort on a simple roll, I have no doubt everything from the sushi counter would be top notch.

Tried this place based on the good reviews here. The sushi was just ok. Rice was crunchy, which makes it breaks the sushi. Prices were high for very small rolls. The atmosphere was disappointing.

Man, this place hit the spot! The location is in a very convenient spot in DTC that's not too crowded with parking or heavy traffic to get to. Interior decor definitely caught my eye, they put a lot of effort into it as well as their menus, food presentation. I went with the chicken hibachi lunch hand a spicy kani roll. The miso soup was great. The spicy kani roll was absolutely perfect. The rice for the hibachi was very eggy, which works out for me because eggs are one of my favorite foods. The chicken was very tender and cooked/season well. The sauce they provided with it was very good. My only complaint if I was to say was I would suggest slightly more portion for the chicken, at least keep it even with the rice. It was definitely a smaller chicken portion compared to other hibachi meals. The service was very attentive and accommodating. Looking forward to trying out more menu items. read more
