The first couple of times we went here we loved it. Very good fish. Then we found some other places closer to where we lived. Since then we have returned a couple of times and while the quality of the fish has remained outstanding the service is just pitiful! Tonight was about the third time that we have gone here for sushi in the past year and after tonight we have had enough - no more. Waited and waited for our food to get to us even though it wasn't crowded. I suppose the big table behind us took up a lot of the chefs time. But once we got our food our server was pretty much every other place but our table. Didn't refill our drinks even though they were obviously empty glasses and unless his eyesight was poor he didn't see them when he took the salad and soup bowls away. True, we should've spoken up but we were experimenting to see if he'd ever pick up on the refills - failed experiment. While this is the first time we have gotten that poor service here the past couple of times exhibited the same lack luster and slow service. There are other sushi places around that hopefully do not charge an arm and a leg like this place does and we shall be taking our business there. Oh, and if you order lemonade it comes in a can. read more

This is by far my most favorite sushi place in Columbus. The crab salad is a must try. Miso soup is good. It has a good mix of Japanese and Korean cuisine. Been coming here from day one and highly recommend to all my friends. Most places that look nicer, you are paying for ambience. The quality and consistency are great here. Don't let the fact that it is in a shopping center discourage you. For a date night you have sushi and the movie theater a few doors down. Don't miss the lunch and happy hour specials too. read more

This is a poor business establishment. We ordered from Door Dash and once the driver arrived the told them that they are not "doing Door Dash tonight because they are too busy". . The my husband called to find out what was going on and the owner tried to say that they aren't on Door. Dash. Which is laughable considering the first thing on their website is a promo code for ordering from Door Dash! Absolutely awful business and customer service! read more

Stopped in here for Valentine's dinner after a movie. Exterior: this restaurant is located at the west end of a building which includes a movie theater, a pub, a dessert place of some kind, and another business. There is plenty of parking available in the area, though the movie theater can make it very difficult to find one close. Interior: the entrance leads directly to the hostess station. To the left of the entrance are several tables and booths for seating. To the right and behind a wall is additional seating. It looks like more "traditional" with a low table on that side. I was informed private rooms were in the back left section of the restaurant. There was a small sushi bar with seating for about 8 people (maybe a couple more) just off the main dining area. It is pleasantly decorated. The reason I dropped a star for this review is due to interior temperature. It was very cold outside and that seeped horribly inside. A glance around the restaurant revealed practically everyone still had their coats on (to include my girlfriend). One couple asked to be moved further back, but I'm not sure it helped. Staff: they were wonderful! We assumed that most of the V-Day crowd would be gone after the movie, so we were a little surprised when asked about reservations. We hadn't made any since it was a spur of the moment decision. However, we were seated promptly. The waiter was very attentive, polite, and personable. Pretty well every member of the staff was smiling and polite, which makes the experience more pleasurable. Food: awesome! We started off with Gyoza, which was very good! My girlfriend ordered Yaki Udon with a side of California Roll and I ordered a Sushi Deluxe. We both received a salad and she absolutely loved the dressing, though it wasn't to my liking (personal taste). I received Miso soup, which was perfect on a cold wintery night! My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed her meal. She said it was just as good as what we'd had out in Portland, OR at a different Japanese restaurant. There were 11 pieces of Nigiri sushi as well as a California Roll on my Deluxe order, which made me extremely happy! The seafood was fresh, large portioned, and the rice held together perfectly. Overall, this is a sushi place to which we will definitely return...probably when it gets warmer though. read more

This is the worst restaurant I've ever visit. They use Shin Ramyun for Spicy Ramen. It's not worth for its price. read more

Sushi En - Spicy Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The service here is quite good as is their sushi. A friend of ours does not eat sushi but loves to go here as they have really good teriyaki chicken, I guess. I would not know because I really enjoy their sushi so that's what I get. They have your standard rolls along with some more specialized ones. The boat value is quite good so if you're going with 3 or more you should get the boat. The boat comes with a few rolls and plenty of nagiri. The fish quality here is quite good and I like their location in relation to the movie theatre. It's a good place to eat while waiting for a movie time and it's tons better than McDonalds or some other such trash. Anything that has the spicy tuna is pretty much amazing! It's their specialty and they do it quite well. The individual sushi prices are normal as sushi goes so you'll be spending some bucks here, which is fine as all the sushi I've tried here is worth it. read more

This is actually one of my favorite sushi places so far. The restaurant is small, and kind of hidden back by the movie theater. The staff here is always so incredibly friendly. The sushi is phenomenal. Everything is presented beautifully and has a fresh taste. I would recommend highly the firecracker roll! read more

Good location, convenient. Prices good for the area. Came here for a business lunch. Both companions are sushi eaters so we all had sushi. All were good! Nice portions but the individual pieces are huge! Not to complain about the quantity, but the pieces make it impossible to hold a conversation! Worth it though. Definite place to return ti if I'm in the area. read more

When I worked in the area, I would go to Sushi En for lunch. When I moved offices, I STILL went and continue to go to Sushi En. My must have starter items are either the pickled cucumber salad or the spicy crab salad. Must. Haves. My friend always orders uni (sea urchin) with a raw quail egg - we share a variety of rolls/items and it's always fresh and tasty - which is a big deal since we live in Cbus, Ohio. He's had and gives thumbs up to the bimimbop. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Wishing to expand my sushi experience, I met the Ukrainian Brain for lunch at Sushi En. The experience wasn't bad, but was not outstanding, either. The first thing that struck me about our lunchtime feast was that all of the waiters and waitresses were occidental. To me, Sushi is about the overall experience, and, dammit, I expect to have an Asian waiter! Once I got over that, it was time to consider the menu. The menu is relatively straightforward, and all of the standard sushi choices are there, along with their signature "special" rolls. The brain decided to get a couple of standard rolls, while I stuck with my favorites: spicy tuna, and philly roll. One thing that's a little different here, is that their spicy tuna comes with avocado. You can order it without, but you will have to request it. I ordered mine without, but the Brain ordered it with. He was happy with his roll, I was appropriately satisfied with mine. I was not as happy with the Philly roll. I swear that the salmon on the Philly roll was not smoked. It had a very strong fish taste, and it had the texture of raw. That's not to say it was bad; it was just different. We supplemented our personal rolls with a couple of fancy rolls that were good, if not spectacular. Typically the fancy rolls for us are cooked rolls, but, for the life of me, I can't remember which rolls we had-- which is probably indicative of their "not spectacular" standing. I also had the Gyoza Dumpling soup, which I would rate very highly, and the green tea, which was good. Overall, if you're in the Polaris area, Sushi En is a fine place to go, particularly pre- or post-movie at the Rave. read more

Tried this place based on Yelp reviews while vising family in the area. Really excellent Sushi. High quality, fresh, good service. Pricier, but it's worth it. Cheap Sushi is a bad idea. Highly recommended. read more

Can I give less than one star? I ordered takeout last night which included a spicy salmon hand roll and shrimp tempura appetizer. At 10:30 or 11pm I started becoming violently ill. Cramping, diarrhea, chills. I called to tell their manager the next day and she was so unhelpful. She said no one else had complained, and basically I was at fault. I asked her for a refund on just the two items and she said she was unable to refund me but would I like a gift card instead? I will never eat here again and good luck if you decide to try their sushi! Can't believe companies like this still exist...Worst customer service. read more

Have only had take out, and not at peak busy times, but the quality of the sashimi was very good: fresh, large portions (though honestly, I'd have cut them in smaller pieces). Salmon skin roll had, I think, overcooked salmon skin, with a burnt flavor; broth for agedashi tofu was cool, ought to have been warm. Service was well within a reasonable time, and orders had no errors. read more

See all

I didn't find the quality of the fish matched up to the higher prices. The basic rolls were very highly priced (spicy tuna, california rolls etc were $7-$8 each) along with the specialty rolls, all of which ended up being rather small with not a lot of fish. The nigiri was also relatively highly priced but not very fresh. Did not feel great afterwards. Personally wouldn't make a separate trip to Polaris. read more

I ordered food for pickup through their website and paid online. When I came in, I was directed to the bag with my name on it. I made it home and unpacked my food. I had noodles and an appetizer that I didn't order along with the nigiri that I did order however it didn't include the main entree I ordered. All of it wreaked of bad fish including my nigiri so I had to throw everything out. To their credit, they did call me to let me know that they didn't give me my main entree. When I said I couldn't come back to pick it up, they said that despite me using their own website, there was no way to remove it from my bill and they continually misgendered me throughout the call as well. I am now out $20+, have no food, and was just insulted multiple times. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Food is fantastic but the waitress was rude from the moment we walked in the door. It wasn't like she was busy. She had our table of 5 and another table of 3. read more

Update 2013- for the last 2 years I have been going to Tokyo Sushi in Powell. I initially thought sushi en was the best sushi in the area but I was wrong. Tokyo sushi is the way to go. Sushi En is by far the best sushi I have had in the area! The service is always great and my favorite rolls are: The Diablo*, The Double Crunch, and The Samba. It is a very busy place on friday and saturday so try to get there before 7. However, it's well worth the wait. I have never been disappointed and will never go to another sushi restaurant again! It's a must try for people who have never been! (Keep in mind that the rolls are all fresh and handmade right out in the open so it does take a little longer to get the sushi than most premade sushi joints.) read more

One of our all time favorite sushi place. Great selection of Japanese and Korean food plus friendly stuff! Check them out.

Lovely place , love the rolls and fresh nigiri sushi ! I will rank this Japanese restaurant as one of the best if not the best in central Ohio. read more

Top notched sushi served in a whimsical presentation, we loved every bite. The King Salmon, both sashimi and the special roll, was worth the trip! read more

The sushi was good. The service was good. There is no changing station for babies. Kind of a bummer. Best part though, was the chefs hollered at us as we came in. First sushi place in central Ohio that I've found to do this, just like back home in Cali. Would like to see more raw choices in the rolls. read more

First off they have sake flights. The rolls are generous and they keep blue fin tuna in stock which is a not too easy to find this far from the coast. The wait staff is pretty good and the sushi chefs are pretty quick getting orders out even when it is busy. read more

With regards to Columbus sushi, this place is a truly a hidden gem. With a comfortable atmosphere, and a pleasant sound space, this restaurant is a great place to enjoy the food. Most importantly, the sushi itself was very good, rivalling some of the best in the city. It was nicely presented, and tasted very good. The staff was very attentive. My glass of water was hardly below half. All service was nearly immediate and helpful. Overall, one of the better restaurant experiences in Columbus. read more

My friend and I were back in town had lunch it was just amazing as it has always been! The sushi was so good as well as the service. We stayed for some drinks and brought us each and orange along with edamme! What a great experience. read more

Sushi En is not bad, but it's underwhelming. I tried the spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, Sunday morning roll and the lobster/crab roll. Spicy tuna is my go-to roll, and it wasn't bad but I've definitely had better. The shrimp tempura was also okay - again, I've had better. I don't have munch to say about the Sunday or lobster rolls. Both were overpriced for the lack of flavor. Overall, this place is just okay. You can definitely find better sushi and a better value elsewhere. If you're up for a drive - Fugu sushi in Pickerington has an awesome lunch special (two rolls and a soup or salad for $7.99)!! read more

I owe my newly found love for sushi and Japanese food to this restaurant. It has gotten to the point where I crave their sushi every single day. To be specific, their firecracker and their sweet potato cream cheese roll are seriously amazing! In addition, they have one of the best happy hours in town and an attentive, friendly, and genuine staff. I wish I could give them 6/5 stars, but seriously I highly, highly, highly recommend!!!! read more

My family and I were in shock when we sat down and looked at the menu prices at first, and tried to justify that it was, in fact, next to the movie theater and mall so the prices would be up there. However, the portion sizes do come out large, and unbeknownst to us there is soup and salad before each meal. Delicious! The actual menu itself was really small. There were some traditional dishes I'm used to seeing on menus in Asian restaurants, but for the most part they were different variations of noodles and stir frys with different types of meat. Nothing special found there. The actual meal came out pretty bland. I got the Korean beef, and it didn't taste nearly as flavorful as if you go to an actual restaurant owned by Korean people. A little disappointing there, but I still ate it up. All in all, it was an okay experience. There are just so many places I'd rather visit than this one. read more

AWESOME! They have a huge variety Of sushi. Something for everone. Even have a menu with alternate Chinese type foods for those who do not like sushi. read more

Amazing sushi and service! They are fast and friendly. Highly recommend. They are right by the Rave movie theater.

Friendly staff, you can see the chefs working. Fun atmosphere, great food, and good price.

Tried for the first time. First thing I noticed was a strange odor when you walk in the door, could have been the raw fish or some food they were preparing, but it was slightly off putting. We ordered sushi and a bowl of mushroom soup. The sushi was OK, far from great, didn't taste the freshest. The soup was terrible, tasted like literal garbage is the only way I can describe it. I can't say anything bad about the staff, they voluntarily took the soup off the bill and were nice. Maybe it was an off day but not sure we will be returning. read more

I've been here many times, and I've always gotten very good sushi -- maybe not the absolute best in Columbus, but still, very good to excellent. They have a number of specialty rolls that don't involve cream cheese or deep fried anything, which I appreciate. I particularly like the Volcano roll. Also, the food presentation is phenomenal here. They make these lovely serving glasses with cascades of beet noodles, which is very pretty. My only complaint is that the restaurant sometimes smells like sewer gas. I'm not sure if there's anything they can do about that, but it is unpleasant. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the whole city! Service is fantastic and the food is even better! Yummmm authentic sushi chefs that create stellar displays of art that taste just as great as they look. Highly recommend this restaurant for after shopping at Polaris or before seeing a movie next door at rave. read more

Sushi En - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Tonight was my fourth time eating at Sushi En. Each time I have eaten there I have noticed the restaurant being more and more dirty. Went to the restroom and noticed that the bar looked more like a closet than an actual bar. My arms literally stuck to the sushi bar counter tonight.....likely due to not being really cleaned much. As I was eating I noticed what looked like a year's worth of food particles under the countertop over behind the sushi bar...yikes. I ordered sushi regular, as usual, and sent it back to have wasabi put under the fish. Sushi chef not happy about that. Then I ordered sweet shrimp (raw) and when he handed it to me the end of the shrimp was a sort of green color and really slimy. I have ordered that over 100 times at other places and have never seen anything like that before. When I sent it back for a replacement the sushi chef took the shrimp off the plate and threw it in the trash right in front of me in a bit of a fit. He was not happy. There was no way I was going to eat what he served me so while I am sorry he was upset there was something wrong with the shrimp. Last time I ordered sweet shrimp at Sushi En the shrimp had ice particles on it when they served it to me. Two strikes and you are out in my book. The replacement shrimp was good and I paid and left. The restaurant is dirty and the sushi (if you eat raw fish....not rolls) is marginal at best. My advice is to find someplace else without a tempermental sushi chef read more

Monday afternoon, light crowd, no wait to sit. Fresh salads arrived with a bright orange ginger dressing, not the standard creamy pink sushi-salad topping, and it was delicious and an excellent start. Miso soup arrives, a required standard, and it's warm and good. The Sushi En Special Bento Boxes arrive ($16.95), we ordered 2 of these, and they are a little bigger than expected. 3 pieces of nigiri (salmon, shrimp, tuna), a 3 piece california roll, a tennis ball of rice, pickled cucumbers, 5 pieces of tempura (3 veg, 2 shrimp), a crunchy ika and seaweed salad, and side of edamame. Everything was crisp and fresh, nicely seasoned and tasty. There was no wasabi on the sushi which, I guess, is a Midwest thing, but a good sized ball of it, plus pickled ginger, was nearby on the plate, so no harm done. The table and interior were clean and modern, the food arrived quickly, and the service was prompt and courteous. All smiles here. Other dinners at our table: Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box ($10.95); salad, miso, and box as above but with chicken teriyaki instead of sushi/roll. Chicken had a good texture and a nice flavor, smoky and sweet, and wasn't just chicken drowned in sauce. The difference was noted repeatedly and was reported to be yummy. Sushi combination ($13.95); california roll plus five pieces of nigiri. Plus salad and miso soup. Reported to be fresh and excellent. Portion size was enough that leftovers had to be taken home. Nigiri: 2 Ika (squid) and 2 Taco (octopus) ($10.00). Ika was fresh and properly scored so a nice thick piece was easily eaten. Taco was a really large piece, thick and twice the length of the rice. I have never met a human that could just bite through a piece of boiled octopus and this was a good sized slab that had to be stuffed in the mouth all at once. It took a few seconds of overfull mouth chewing to get it under control, but the flavor was reported to be great. No fountain drinks were available ergo no free refills. Soda arrived at the table in cans to be served over ice. I had two teenagers with me and a can of coke has a life expectancy of just a few seconds. Paying for non-alcoholic drink refills just rubs me the wrong way. The above lunch, for four, with lunch pricing (served 11am-2:30pm) plus five cans of coke was $80 without tip which is a little pricey. The price means that this place will only be a special occasion restaurant for my family. Enjoyed a great lunch and everyone left with their belly filled. It was excellent all around. You will not regret a meal here. read more

Good sushi. Not amazing, but I'm incredibly picky with sushi. Definitely not a bad place to grab sushi.

I like this place, a little bit pricier than Sushi ko...the rolls were decent, but a little out of proportion, and they were a little bit too big for a "one bite" type of deal. The soda was in cans, so, no refills, but I had green tea and the refills were free (bonus). If I were in the area I would choose Sushi ko over this place, but definitely not a bad place to get your sushi on. read more

I had a really good experience here. We came a little before 9 (they close at 10), but they were super great. It's bigger than it looks from outside, especially when I realized they have a back room too. We didn't have to wait at all. Our server was really prompt and helpful explaining the best way to share rolls. I am by no means a sushi expert, but I thought they did a great job on the rolls we tried. The California tasted the way I was hoping it would. The spicy salmon was a not quite as spicy as I feared it would be (which was great for me. I am kind of scared of extreme spice so I felt like a god being able to eat something called a "spicy salmon roll". I think Boyfriend would have liked more spice though). We also tried a chicken tempura roll that was interesting for a change, but probably not something I would get on a regular basis (sushi and fish are def meant for each other). I was slightly let down by their mixed drinks, specifically the mimosas. Not because they weren't good (they were!) they were just in tiny champagne flutes instead of a more hardy amount. I had it gone in two swallows (although I did love that it came with an orange and a purple flower). I was really wowed by their customer service at the end. We were talking about where we could go for dessert, and they actually called the place we were considering to make sure they were definitely open and gave us directions. It was above and beyond what I expect a restaurant to do. Overall, I liked! I would love to go back and try more rollls. read more

Places is ok. The staff try's to be customer friendly which is a plus but the food is just garbage. You don't even get rice with your dinner unless you pay for it as a side. My wife didn't even eat her dinner because it was so watered down and lacked flavor. On top of that there were soggy red onions and soggy yellow onions which makes me curious to how long they were sitting in the kitchen before placed on the plate. Not worth going and wasting $70 on a meal. read more

I tried a bunch of rolls from this place. A lot of the things that i ordered were bland and tasteless. This is not my favorite place to get sushi in Columbus. read more
