Reviews
"On a busy weekend in The Village, we were hard pressed to find a spot to eat. Most of the places we went to had a minimum 30 minute wait and we did not want to wait that long. Eventually, we came across EN Japanese Brasserie, a pretty upscale izakaya. They have some fancy takes on traditional Japanese dishes which we ordered, such as a spicy chutoro roll and sea bass kara-age. They also had a delicious mochi croquette, which had duck and a mochi rice cake served in a dashi broth. Never thought I'd have mochi as a main dish. The best dish, however, was perhaps the most simple—the garlic shiso rice. It doesn't look like much, but the rice was packed with so much flavour. For dessert, we got a matcha panna cotta and a soba tea pudding. The soba tea pudding, with a bit of a nutty flavour from the soba, was spectacular. Despite how fancy En Japanese Brasserie was, it somehow did not break the bank. It came out to under $100 for each person."
"A must try place. Perfect meal. I couldn’t put into words how splendid this dining experience was. Must try the pork belly. And don’t shy away from the chef specials, amazing Saba. Service was so so perfect I am so happy."
"This place is amazing! I had the Omakase with a sake pairing, and although it was a really expensive meal, it was really, really good. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the restaurant design is pretty cool. The service was top-notch and the waitstaff was super attentive without being intrusive. If you are looking for a non-typical Japanese restaurant that makes their own tofu and has some really good sake, this is definitely it."
"Very stylish restaurant with amazing, beautiful dishes. We had the vegetarian and the classic menu for four, which was very delicious. Rice tea and lemonades were tasty. The service was a bit unsure about the details of the ingredients, but they asked the chefs. Only the vegan offer could be more. All in all very nice and beautiful tableware."
"Delicious Japanese food. Amazing service. Stunning decor. Very expensive. Highly recommended for a fancy night out."
