    Fancy sushi platter and nigiri
    Carrie U.

    I love Red Fish so much!! I was at a friends for dinner and she catered from Red Fish. It was so good I got their info. I had sushi dinner tonight for the family and it was so easy to order (same day) and everything was so delicious! Amazing presentation too! Of course, it was so good, my parents asked for the info and will have them cater their next dinner party - and I know the next party will lead to more people asking and using them... and so on and so on and so on! Truly worth it! We got the fancy sushi platter plus some extra nigiri- everything was delicious! Even my picky mom ate everything (and lots of it too)!! I highly recommend coming here if you're hosting a party and you don't want to cook everything, or you simply don't want to cook at all. Fairly priced for the quality.

    This sushi was brought in as a party tray to an event I was part of and it was fantastic. The presentation of the tray was also so pretty. The triangular pieces were unique and absolutely delicious. They had a crunched fried texture that layered and combined with the fish and rice was so good. Even though it was catered the freshness was still perfect. The variety of the tray was fun and flavors were complimentary. Very much enjoyed and was so happy when sushi was what was being served at my event!!

    How many people can walk to a restaurant that serves Japanese/Italian/Israeli & Persian cuisine? During a pandemic? I think not. But I am fortunate that this place is remaining open for take out as I ignorantly avoided this joint for years thinking how is it possible to offer so many different types of food? In this instance, my instincts were wrong. The sushi I ordered was very good and this small restaurant that used to do a lot of catering has a side kitchen as well as the main kitchen that apparently can, and does, cook up some diverse ethnic cuisine. Next time I think I will try some Persian food and then go back for some Italian or Israeli? Maybe I should get something from each and mix it up like sushi with cherry rice, hummus and chicken parmigiana? Now that's the ticket. Whatever, this place is unique enough to help stay in business and get through these challenging times.

    WOW. I've never experienced such rude, unprofessionalism from a company that you're trying to give thousands of dollars in business to. I was a little weary of Red Fish because of the bad reviews on yelp, but we decided to give it a try as an option for our engagement party. Our planner reached out to Celerino Bautista, one of the owners who deals with catering, to set up a tasting for us to try the Persian food and their sushi. She had been in communication with him and confirmed on Saturday as well as Monday for our Tuesday afternoon tasting at 4pm. After all leaving work early and making schedule changes, we all trekked from the valley over to the westside and arrived early at 3:30. We spoke to Alma letting her know we arrived for our 4pm food tasting. Alma said she was not sure what we were talking about because Celerino had not alerted the restaurant about the tasting. When we asked to speak with him, she said he left the restaurant 30 mins prior to us arriving because of an emergency. I understand emergencies happen, but at least let your staff know to expect us and have things ready. Alma told us we could taste the sushi that's on the catering menu so we ordered that for the meantime until our planner arrived. When our planner arrived, she told us that Celerino had confirmed with her and when she called him (after we call we her explaining the situation), he was completely rude and blamed her saying he didn't confirm and if we wanted to leave we could just leave. She sent him screenshots of her confirming and he then accepted responsibility and apologized. In the meantime, Melinda or Melly was giving us the runaround. She said there was no way for us to try the meat because it needed to be marinated. Obviously Celerino had never told the restaurant about the tasting period. She also said that we could try the salads, but would need to pick a few since the chefs would have to make them fresh. We asked to see the catering menu and let Alma know which salads we wanted to try. Alma then said that we couldn't try any salads because they don't keep produce at the restaurant and would need to order it specifically for the tasting, but beforehand. So what Alma said completely contradicted what Melinda had told us. At this point we were so mad and shocked from the awful service we were getting. We asked Melly who the owner of the company was and she said "I'm not sure." I responded with "What? You're not sure who the owner of the company is? You don't know who you work for? Is it you don't know or you don't want to tell us?" She said "I'm not allowed to tell you." My aunt sent a quick message to our lawyer and was able to find who the owner was in 2 minutes. Celerino finally showed up as we were walking out at about 5:15. He apologized but he was not sorry. It wasn't an authentic apology. We will be taking our business to another caterer who appreciates the business. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

The Assorted Sashimi was fun for the two of us to each try 6 premium pieces. Everything tasted fresh and high quality with a different garnish accompanying each piece! The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy to munch on in between sushi bites. Their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice surprised me with an arrangement of flavors and textures that went together magically. I would have gotten a second order if stomach space wasn't a concern. Next we had the Yellowtail Sashimi, which of course had sliced jalapeño on top. I don't care how many restaurants put that out, it's always fantastic. The only roll we got was the Cherry Blossom roll, I was intrigued by the menus indication that it didn't have rice. A large roll with 11 pieces came out that was 95% fish, the remaining 5% being bits of avocado and two sauces that paired exquisitely. It tasted excellent. Our server recommended their Kid Season sake which was exactly what I was looking for: filtered and semi sweet. Highly recommend!

Nice of the chef to switch out roe for halibut for me on my omakase. However, probably the worst omakase I've ever had. No creativity, nothing felt premium, chewy fish, flavors didn't mesh, and half of it was salty. The miso soup wasn't scorching, which i appreciated at first but that meant the last few sips were fairly room temp. The real crab handroll was good. If the price point was $35 sushi set I'd give 5/5 but this is supposed to be premium omakase. I've been to other Sushi Enya locations and had good experiences, so this was very disappointing. Stick to the rolls and nigiri.

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.

I also really liked the amount and variety of dishes served outside of the nigiri, so the meal felt substantial and well paced. The food itself was good and well executed, but for the price point, I was hoping for something more memorable or distinctive. A lot of the dishes and flavor profiles felt very familiar and similar to what I've had at many other more traditional omakase experiences. Nothing was bad by any means, but there wasn't a particular bite or flavor combination that surprised me or stayed with me afterward. The second time I came here, they had firefly squid (in season) which was a delight. If you're newer to sushi or omakase, I think this would be a great experience. But if you eat omakase frequently, there are other places around this price point that I think offer something a little more unique or memorable.
