Sushi Enya is one of the better sushi experiences I’ve had in Los Angeles, and it completely caught me off guard.
At first glance, the space is very understated. It’s not flashy, not trendy, and not trying to impress you visually. If anything, it feels almost unassuming. But that’s exactly what makes the experience so good. The focus here is entirely on the fish and the craft.
Everything we ordered was excellent, but the uni stood out immediately. It was sourced from Japan and prepared right in front of us, and you can see the care that goes into it. The texture was perfect, clean and silky, and it melted the second it hit your mouth. You can tell right away when uni is handled properly, and this was top tier. The video I posted shows the preparation, and it eats exactly how it looks.
The sushi across the board was phenomenal, precise, and clearly handled by someone who knows what they’re doing. The head chef behind the counter was incredible. Skilled, confident, and clearly passionate about his craft. He walked us through what we were eating, made the experience fun, and genuinely added to the night. He even took shots with us, which somehow never took away from how serious he was about the food. It felt authentic, not performative.
Pricing was very fair for the quality, especially considering the level of fish being served. It’s not the cheapest, but I don’t go out to eat cheap Sushi. Sushi Enya isn’t about scene or hype. It’s about execution, sourcing, and respect for the product.
If you care about great sushi and not just appearances, this is absolutely a place worth going out of your way for.

I’m a regular here - absolutely one of my favorite meals in LA. The fish is supremely fresh, the prep is simple, methodical and super super consistent. Have had ~10 meals here, usually at the counter bar - and it’s a pleasure every time. The daily list of nigiri is worth hitting up always, and the evergreen options are thoughtful and delicious. Absolute recommend. Ends up being around 75-80$ as a solo diner for a mix of nigiri maybe 10-12 pieces. Not cheap, not crazy expensive. In my opinion, really worth it.
