This sushi was delicious! But I was most impressed with the excellent service and fantastic presentation with the food!! There is absolutely an artist back there making the sushi. I felt bad eating it! 5/5 read more

Loved the service, delicious sushi, my son said the Ramen was fanatic! Best Ramen he has ever had!

Excellent sushi that is fresh and diverse. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the sushi chef who I allowed to build my order. I was not disappointed. Some of the best prime tuna and king salmon I've ever had. It may not be on your normal route of restaurants but as a traveler to the area I keep coming back because it is some of the best food in the area. read more

Love this place!!! Go during happy hour for great prices and artistic sushi!!! Staff I is friendly and fun!

The sushi here is great but what really stood out was the service. Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. I would come back purely for the wonderful service. The sushi chefs also do really cool presentations. It seemed like everyone had something different on their table. read more

First impression is--basic strip mall sushi spot. As another reviewer mentioned, it's a bit odd to have so few Asian nationality people working a sushi place, but not a big deal. Started with the miso soup which was quite good. Extra points for stocking the 21oz. Sapporo. Edamame was okay,not great. The a la carte menu was pretty pricey. $9.95 for a basic California roll. $3-5 a piece for sushi or sashimi. Usually get 2 pieces for that price. The sashimi portions are good sized and incredibly fresh. I'd go back. read more

This is only the second time I have been here with the first being several years ago. My husband and I stopeed by for a quick, impromtu weekday lunch. He ordered the chicken terryaki bento box, and I ordered the Californa Sushi Combo. It's a bit pricey for lunch, but you get a TON of food! Both began with Miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. The dressing isn't one of my favorites, but I've definately had much worse. The chicken terryaki was severed with a a small crab salad, california roll, and edemame - such an awesome addition. My combo was served with a california roll, spicy california roll, and a california hand roll. All were very good, but the spicy was my favorite. The spicy mayonaise was actually in the roll verses being on top. This was a very good meal, and I look forward to being able to explore the menu further. read more

First Time visit. Typical sushi menu. Food and service very good. Good lunch spot. Would come again. read more

Sushi En - California Dreaming and Samurai - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We love Sushi En. We've been coming since it opened, and our daughter has grown up eating here. We almost always start with the spicy crab salad. Our favorite sushi rolls are the Sunday Morning, Diablo, and Firecracker, although the new Last Samurai is becoming a fast favorite! Our daughter loves the salmon nigiri, edamame, and cucumber rolls. We've celebrated everything from finding out we were pregnant to every birthday and anniversary. There have been times we've gone three days in a row! The new ownership has infused fresh ideas into our old favorite. read more

Best sushi in the Polaris area. Always give you free bees and super fresh. The only place I'll go.

The best California rolls I've had since I left the West Coast. Plenty generous with the avocado and crab, which is important! they definitely don't skimp. The rice is fluffy and sticky with that great Umami hint of flavor. Sushi En is smallish venue (size wise)but high quality. So good it reminds me of California! read more

One of my favorite sushi places in columbus great food and always fresh. Ellie was an awesome server yesterday very kind and attentive

Great spot, authentic Japanese cuisine. Fresh sushi, they don't need to drown everything in a sauce. Also , the rest of the menu is great. I recommend the Ebi Shumai to start. read more

Came in for lunch while in Columbus for a wedding. Some of the freshest sushi we've ever had! Quickly made, and they had soju! Will definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

Save yourself a trip and don't come here. Smells funny in the restaurant. The tables were sticky which was weird. They forgot one of my rolls like ok i can forgive you on that, that's not a big deal... the big deal was the hair we found in my boyfriends sushi. Was definitely not either of our hair! Also side note this place is way to expensive to be served not fresh nasty sushi! For 2 people we spent over 50$ I wouldn't have even paid 20$ for this. On a positive note the service is really good they are all super friendly. I've come here about a year or two ago and all I remember was positive tings this place has gone down hill. read more

My 5 year old daughter and I went for a quick lunch. Since it was lunch, I didn't go big with the sushi. I got the shrimp/veggie bento box and my daughter got the miso soup and edamame. All the food was very good and came out fast. Unfortunately, the server was very uninterested. He went back and popped his earbud in to watch his iPhone several times and wasn't very friendly. I almost didn't go because of other reviews about the service. Long story short -- food is great. Service is not. If we were to go back it would be for convenience. There have to be other sushi places that have better service and friendlier servers. read more

Very fresh delicious sushi and more. Very large menu was a little overwhelming but with a few questions we figured it out. The sushi was very good and the atmosphere was casual clean and comfortable. Not from the Columbus area but wouldn't hesitate to go back. Things are a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for here. read more

Stoooed for lunch. Excellent sushi rolls and service. Will be back for sure!! Had the softer roll and rainbow roll both delicious. Also be sure and try there Kimchi. Had to get done to go it was so good. read more

Came here on a spur of the moment visit. The sushi guys were entertaining, and made me little treats while I was waiting since I was the only person at the sushi bar. It felt nice that they went out of their way to do little things to entertain me since I was sitting alone. Service was amazing, and you could tell the food is well thought out and people who know what they are doing are making the food. Will definitely continue to come back! This may be my new sushi spot. read more

My favorite sushi place. I've been coming here for several years. The staff always remembers me, despite me coming in at odd hours and always eating alone while reading a book (I always stop in before heading to work.) The decor is simple and nice. The service is fast and the staff is very nice. I usually order the same thing; Spicy Crab Salad to start, which is a delicious heaping mound of spicy crab over cucumber, followed by the Dynamite Roll, which is a special baked roll, and the Caterpillar roll, which is spicy tuna wrapped in avocado and topped with masago. The rolls are big and very filling, and the fish is always fresh. The orange that you get with the check is a nice touch. read more

Love Sushi En! The sushi chef truly puts great efforts into his creations. They were a work of art and almost a shame to eat! Glad I did though - were excellent! Really enjoyed sitting at the Sushi Bar and watching him at work. Amazing skills. Have eaten at several Columbus area sushi restaurants and find that Sushi En surely has the freshest and most flavorful sushi, sashimi and rolls. Never disappoints! The wait staff is always very helpful in explaining menu items and are very efficient and friendly! Highly recommended! read more

I must have went on an "off" day, because I was totally not impressed by Sushi En. I was really excited to try this place out after all the rave reviews on here. I was expecting a good quality meal, but I left with a "meh...." feeling. We came to this location in the early evening. I'm guessing shortly after their first rush, but the place was dirty. There were crumbs and crap on the floor that needed swept up. The server took their time getting over to us. What really killed it for me was the burnt smell. It smelled like someone charred something on a grill, but then left it there for about 5 hours. Not the best smell to appease someone's appetite. We ordered some basic rolls, and were very underwhelmed by the quality, and the over all taste. Not to mention you get a little pissed once you receive your bill and realize you just put the sushi chef's kid through college and your reward was crappy subpar sushi and an outrageous bill. Yeah, domo arigato. 1 star for the orange palate cleanser instead of the typical ginger. I might give these guys another try in the future, but for now... I'm not recommending them. read more

I visited Sushi En for lunch the other day. It is a nicely decorated and clean restaurant in an odd little spot attached to the Rave, but whatever. I got one of their lunch sets and some hot green tea. The tea came out lightly brewed and piping hot, which is how I like it. I enjoyed the miso soup, though it could have used more tofu. The flavor was pretty light, which is nice for lunch. The set had three simple rolls: salmon, tuna, and cucumber. All three were great. The fish was fresh and firm, and the cucumber was crisp and clean, The sushi rice was VERY tasty. I usually only notice the rice if it was bad; it was great to be pleasantly surprised by it. The service was fast and friendly. I didn't have to wait for anything, even though there was a decent crowd. The bathroom was in a beat up corner by the bar, which was disappointing. I am glad I didn't make the pit stop before eating. It might have put me off. Though the blues music they had playing almost made up for it. I will likely be back to Sushi En. The food and service are certainly well executed read more

A friend from work and I met for lunch here today and I really enjoyed it. It was my first time visiting and while I was impressed with the enormous selection the menu was actually a bit intimidating and I found it hard to find things with the way it was broken down. I wanted to see if they had Tempura Vegetables but had to look over several pages to find it under "vegetarian appetizers" instead of there just being one "appetizer" section. The service was very quick and the food was very good. We went when they weren't busy as we were hoping for some time to just sit and chat. There were several empty tables so we weren't preventing them from seating any other guests but the server kept staring at us and hovering near the table so I got the impression she wanted is to leave so we cut things short and hurried out. Otherwise a very nice experience and I will be sure to give them another try. read more

This is one of the few non chains in the Polaris area if you're looking for something different or want to get your sushi fix since there aren't many options up there. I believe they are Korean owned so they have some Korean options on their menu too. I've never been there for lunch so maybe they have some good specials. I'm not a huge fan of their spicy crab salad, but I do enjoy their rolls. I've mostly had the cooked or fried rolls. We've gotten sashimi, and it's a large portion and bigger slices of fish so you get your money's worth. I'm very picky about tuna so I just couldn't eat it here (my sister did), but I did enjoy the yellowtail and white tuna/escolar. Whenever I'm in the area, I definitely would go there, but since I'm in the UA area, I'd prefer different options with not having to drive all the way out there. read more

Ok so I used to love Sushi En. A few years ago the quality was actually really good, but they have really fallen down. The sushi is now bland and the fish isn't good. Last time I was there the tuna was not a very vibrant color like it should be and the chefs just seemed to be throwing assorted products back into their cold case. I don't get the other foods but my friends have said it isn't very good. The noodle bowls especially are just salty and off putting. This makes me sad but I will no longer be going here. read more

In my opinion this is the best sushi in Columbus and it really is not even close. Their standard rolls are as good as they come but the custom-made rolls that are unique to this restaurant are what I live for! Most of the servers have been at this restaurant for years and will certainly greet you with a warm smile. Like the chefs they are pros who are great at what they do: making and serving amazing food! I have eaten at many others sushi restaurants around Columbus and found Sushi En to be affordable when compared to the others. Combining better food with similar prices makes this a no-brainer! read more

Great vegetarian selection of sushi rolls, but an upcharge of a dollar per roll if you want soy wrappers instead of nori. That's pretty steep! It's 50 cents a roll at the few other places in town where you can substitute. Which is the reason Sushi En is getting a four instead of a five. Otherwise, the restaurant was decorated nicely, everything seemed clean, and our server was attentive. The avocado roll was tasty, and the sweet potato roll was delicious as well. The plum/cucumber wasn't for me, but the quality was good. I was just expecting a sweet plum instead of a pickled version. At the end of the meal there were two mistakes on my bill, but the server took care of them immediately with lots of apologies, and we were given cute little oranges for dessert that were just the right size to end a good meal. I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm currently the mayor of Sushi En on Foursquare, so clearly I am a fan. I have always had very fresh sushi here and the menu brags an impressive array of rolls in addition to the "old standards" (Philly, California, etc.). What's more, the chefs are very accommodating when it comes to special requests. My one complaint is the pace of the service. My husband and I had dinner here tonight and there were perhaps a handful of other tables, yet it still took close to an hour to get our food. And, the last time I swung through here for takeout, I waited in the lobby area for 45 minutes just for a sweet potato roll and 4 pieces of salmon nigiri. Sushi En - your sushi is divine, but the service SUCKS! What gives? read more

Not a huge fan. For me sushi should be a mix of textures and flavors. Something creamy (like cream cheese or avocados) juxtaposed against something crunchy (tempura). Otherwise, the flavors get all muddled and it just tastes blehh... For me, the sushi was OK. It was blehh. Nothing special about the texture and flavor combinations. Also, the prices are extremely high for what you're getting. I don't think it's a value. Finally, the decor leaves much to be desired. The place was downright sloppy. read more

Went here last week for dinner. I had heard mixed reviews. It looks interesting on the outside but once inside it is nothing to write home about. The sushi was alright but the rice was super sticky. The rolls were pretty large so we ended up getting very full fast. The rolls weren's bad but they definitely weren't the best I'd ever had. I think it was a little pricey for the quality. The cool part was the oranges we got at the end. read more

Sushi was fantastic and Sarah was a great server highly recommend

They say they have the bet sushi in Ohio, which I cannot agree (Got to go to Little Tokyo for that). That said, it's really good sushi and really good Korean food. The service is fine and you can expect average soup. The miso tho was above average. read more

My husband and I went here for the first time yesterday. I had been meaning to try Sushi En as my brother has been going for years and he raves about it. We split 4 different rolls: the last samurai, double crunch, sushi en, and firecracker rolls. The last samurai and firecracker rolls were our favorite. The service was excellent and prompt. The place was clean and conveniently located by Polaris and the movie theater. All of the sushi was fresh and diverse. We cannot wait to return again for more sushi. I highly recommend you try Sushi En!! read more

It's not bad. not great. Basic rolls are small. Spicy rolls just have siracha and mayo on them. Not a fan. Scallop roll was small and put together a little sloppy. read more

Delicious sushi! I also got the pork potstickers, which came out piping hot and very yummy. Everything was really good and took maybe 20 minutes to get to us. This is a small restaurant; if you have a big group it's probably best to call ahead. I will definitely be back and am excited to try different things. read more

It's been a good while since I've been in here so I thought it was time to write an update. The reason for the delay seems to be money or a lack thereof. Their prices seem to go up and they're not a good value anymore. But I came during happy hour and only ate two rolls. And they were both great! I didn't recognize any of the sushi chefs or the servers though. read more
