O LSeptember 5, 2021My favourite meal in NY. Every dish was unique and very tasty. Be sure to try the Wagyu.
Kmart FashionDecember 2, 2011One of the most elegant dining experiences ever - a bit pricey but worth every penny. Our tip: Book reservations during restaurant week and snag a three-course meal for $40
Sherry LiMarch 18, 2015Great sake list. They make tofu in house, so this is a must have. Nice lunch options at reasonable prices.
One of my favorite place to dine... not only is the ambiance cool and comforting, you need to check out the Clay Pot dish with Salmon... It's to die for~~~
Alice FerrisNovember 22, 2015Try the Uni tasting - From Peru, Santa Barbara, Maine and Japan. Very distinctive and delicious. (via @Foodspotting)
Absolutely GORGEOUS interior that is matched by the excellence of the food. Try the Seppun drink (with or without alcohol): shiso, grapefruit, yuzu.
Scott InglesFebruary 16, 2020Unique, Kyoto-influenced Japanese. On the pricey side, but brunch is reasonable. Excellent for vegetarians/vegans.
Jessica EliasJanuary 4, 2014Ask if they have salmon or yellowtail cheek or collar on the menu as a special, if so (they usually do), it is a MUST try!
This is fantastic place if looking for fret Japanese food away from usual "scene." Of particular note is enthusiasm for sake - show any interest and you'll be taken for full tasting tour.
Joshua BoggsMay 29, 2017Such a good, relaxing spot. The lunch sets are excellent deals, especially the crispy fried chicken.
Jasmine MehrabiOctober 30, 2019Beautiful space. Quick service. We did the fixed menu in which the black cod was my favorite.
melanie altarescuMay 19, 2014Impeccable service, wonderful attention to my gluten free needs. Which is rare for a Japanese restaurant! Thank you, EN!
joshuaspa TW: JoshuaveFebruary 23, 2012This place is great, and food is soft and bring my senses. Plus.. I recomend la esquina at la fayette st close to spring subway... Very nice margaritas.... Stairs down
Roula HannaSeptember 4, 2015Had their omakase with Sake pairing which was good. The best dish was the scooped tofu.
Mila MilaAugust 11, 2014Wagyu beef was seared perfectly and beautifully presented. Highly recommend. As well as all the desserts!- You must try the Crispy Fried Chicken, it's fantastic. Beware though, it comes out super hot but is so tasty you'll be willing to burn your mouth off just for another bite.
Wei VaynSeptember 8, 2015Try the Kaki-Furai Omuretsu - Fried oyster omelette with house made tartar sauce, mizuna and watercress salad (via @Foodspotting)
Village VoiceSeptember 22, 2010Try the Okara- it's delicious. Braised in shoyu & shot through w. tender bits of shiitake mushrooms, carrots, & snow peas, the okara has a crumbly, slightly spongy texture. Give it a try!
Sophia LiuDecember 21, 2013Great ambience and service! Worth the visit regardless of what you order. Clay pot is a good value for the portions.
Their dinner menu, of course, is delicious. But try their Sat / Sun only brunch. Highly recommend steak and eggs or the uni soba.
Mrs LAugust 8, 2010I went for the seasonal organic veggie plate which came with a dipping sauce made of soy milk & tuna. It was light, scrumptious, & just what my body needed but i'm going back for the steak which they
Gabriel HayesAugust 9, 2015One of the best upscale Japanese restaurants I have been to in New York City.- Alice FerrisNovember 22, 2015Try the Sea Eel Maki - Tasty sea eel roll before seeing "Something Rotten" in New York City. (via @Foodspotting)
Jess LeungJune 1, 2012A large open space that still feels intimate, it's a great spot for date night, and traditional Japanese home-cooking.
Nao MizApril 6, 2012Perfection. Fish lovers, go for the saikyo miso black cod. SAIKOOO!!! Check out the Meiji style private rooms upstairs;)
Kev SkinnySeptember 13, 2014Get chefs choice and make sure to try the handmade tofu. I dont even mess with tofu normally but this will vaporize your brain.
Liang ShiSeptember 8, 2014The vegetarian sashimi is an art and culinary experience. Would recommend trying it at least once.
Christopher PepeJanuary 14, 2013The tuna avocado appetizer served in a light soy sauce? It's extremely fresh and delicious and you need to order it.- Alice FerrisNovember 22, 2015Try the Chicken Karaage - Karaage is great when done well. This one was great. (via @Foodspotting)
Chelsea BalkanOctober 22, 2013#fabuLIST #dubiDO scooped tofu, friend chicken, black cod, pork belly are my top favorites
Brook ShelleyOctober 3, 2015Delicious but pricey. Amazing sashimi and fried chicken. Try all the sake
Grace MarieFebruary 23, 2016Wagyu flank steak, grade A5 medium rare. No seasoning except for a sprinkle of sea salt. Stuff of my dreams.
New York HabitatOctober 31, 2011Great sushi at this place but it's the fresh tofu we love! If you want great Japanese food in the village look no further.
It takes a lot of work to eat the yellowtail collar, but it's the best large dish on the menu. Don't be lazy!
@JaumePrimeroJanuary 5, 2012Great destination for lunch. Had the Cod lunch set and the flavors were interesting. Wash it down with a Matcha Green Tea.
Julia MesmeriMay 25, 2014Trust the omakase, otherwise definitely the miso black cod. Melts on your mouth deliciousness.- Alice FerrisNovember 22, 2015Try the House Made Cold Tofu - Custardy tofu with house sauce and salt (via @Foodspotting)
- Uni roll. Shabu shabu salad. Yellowtail collar. Garlic fried rice. Fresh tofu. Pork shoulder. Must eats. Mushroom soy hot pot.
Peter ShumJanuary 17, 2016Is like Japanese tapas with pretty authentic Japanese food, the homemade tofu is a must try!
Warm tofu a must, seppuns, mix drinks excellent, shiso garlic rice, fish collard specials. Private rooms are fun if you need them.
Luke WhiteJuly 24, 2013A lot of authentic Japanese favors but overall not impressed with what you get for the price tag. Yakitori toto on 55th is more casual and affordable, and every bite at EN made me wish I were there.

"The tonkatsu and grilled fish are great. Order them as a "set" and you can skip any need for a appetizer. Their house made tofu is out of this world."
