Staff members are wonderful, everyone working the sushi bar is a delight. All the rolls are so good. Love the crab salad. Outstanding lunch specials. Highly recommend read more

Sushi En has been one of my family's go-to sushi spots since I was a kid. The sushi tastes great and the staff is very friendly. The prices have gone up and now I think the price is too expensive for above average rolls. On the plus side, this is one of the only places that will serve you sushi on a boat which is nice and they have a lot of deals (lunch/happy hour). I recently tried a torched roll called Drunken Tiger and would HIGHLY recommend it. It has shrimp tempura in the middle (all their tempura rolls are great) topped with torched spicy tuna so it has a lovely grilled flavor. read more

Sushi is very fresh and delicious with amazing service. It is a quiet, small quaint place with professional staff. Definitely will be back again. read more

The restaurant is cozy and clean. The staff is friendly and service is fast. I think it's a bit on the pricy side especially the sushi menu. My husband and I ordered a sashimi boat, and while it was nice and pretty (also all the fish was fresh), it was about $90 for just a few different kinds of sashimi. read more

Our food came so quickly and was delicious. We got the shrimp and veggie tempura entree, gyoza, and a couple rolls. All very good. Our favorite part was the kind man that brought and cute little peeled orange in the shape of a bear for our four year old. So lovely! read more

Ok. That is the problem. Not great, not bad. Time to upgrade. There are a lot of new sushi paces close buy. Sushi En needs to get out of the pile fast and distinguish itself as a top restaurant or they will get killed. read more

I come here just about every week for some of the best sushi on the planet! The presentation, quality, quantity, and taste is outstanding! Highly recommended! read more

Fast, friendly and tons to choose from! Sushi En was a welcome haven during our very rainy drive north for the Thanksgiving holiday. We were seated right away in a cozy corner, and experienced fast friendly service throughout. If you want sushi, ordering is as simple as marking up the menu with the provided dry erase marker--genius! We enjoyed the tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, spider roll and cherry blossom roll. The latter two were a bit unwieldy in size but tasty nonetheless. The first three rolls were pretty standard, while the cherry blossom is something I haven't seen before. Looking back at the menu now I see that the crab on top was meant to be spicy, which it really wasn't, but it was a nice addition nonetheless. Everything that fell off the roll was just like a free extra snack. read more

It is a quaint Japanese restaurant located in a strip mall. Cozy and friendly with plenty of natural light - the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food was very good - nice selection of dishes with healthy portions. They do accept reservations - the restaurant is small, so large parties should check on availability. If I lived in Columbus I would be a regular. Food quality is high, and value is high - always a great combination! read more

Excellent low key sushi bar/Japanese restaurant in Polaris out building near theaters

This was a weird sushi experience. Although the service was great, the food was pretty disappointing. When the best thing you had at a sushi place was the veggie tempura, it is not a good sign IMO. Perhaps we caught the sushi chef on an "off" day, but my order was the sloppiest looking plate of sushi I have ever seen. I almost started laughing when it came out. The rolls were falling apart and there was a massive heap of tuna just sitting on top. No decorations on the plate...nothing. Not very appetizing. I have seen pictures of the sushi here in other reviews...it looked nothing like them. Taste of food and atmosphere were also nothing special. Definitely a one time outing for me. read more

My friends and I decided to eat at Sushi En, mainly because the wait over at Kura was going to be over an hour Saturday night. We were greeted and seated right away. The setting was nicer than at Kura because it resembled a more traditional restaurant. Our waitress was nice and very patient as we reviewed the menu. The menu items were all typical and really nothing really unique. We decided on bulgogi, spicy chicken ramen, shrimp & veggie tempura, a shrimp California and spicy tuna roll. Everything came out quickly, which we really appreciated since we were so hungry, & the presentation was beautiful. There's nothing bad I can say about the food - it all tasted good! I do have to say that I think it's a bit pricey for the portion size and ingredients, but that's the economy these days. We left very full and satisfied. It's not a place I would seek out, but if you are at the movies or mall and want reliably good Japanese food with a nicer atmosphere than the food court, this might be just the place for you. read more

This was my favorite sushi spot... but I haven't been here much since I moved to Cincy... I decided to come back here for their sushi today. And I'm so disappointed at their service. I was completely ignored! Sat here for 20 minutes, and no one came to take my order or even asked what I would like to drink. Everyone that came in after I did got their drinks order taken and received the minute they sat down! The table next to us was checked on 3 times while I was sitting here waiting for anyone to come... tbh, I'm not even subtle when I said I was waiting. I was watching each server, following them with my eyes, and still no one paid attention to me.... no one... it's like I don't exist... Don't get me wrong. I still love their sushi. Still as fresh as I remember. Love their thick sashimi cuts. But really... they got to do something about that service. I totally get it if it's busy and they can't attend to everyone. But to be ignored when everyone else even the 5 party that came after us were attended to... that's another level right there. I was so close to just walking out read more

They need to change their website to show they aren't open on Monday. Went for son's birthday and was very disappointed.

Diverted our route to have some sushi- and this didn't disappoint! The "all in one" roll had super fresh fish and THE BEST seaweed paper I've ever had- and I'm sure all the rolls did too, but once I tasted it my brain was transported. The plating was spectacular, and even the damn ginger was incredible. Excellent service as well. Go! go! read more

Second time here since Kura the revolving sushi is still so hyped and hard to get in line this place is awesome! Sushi and sashimi's are always FRESH and portioned generously! Service is fast and friendly. This place never disappoints, and I love that its right next to a boba place as well. I can get my sushi and boba fix at the same time. Happy tummy read more

This is my first time back here in a while. Since Covid, I have only done the carry out in that time and missed eating inside where the Sushi Chef's inside loved their blues music. Today, I got to sit inside and enjoy their fresh cuisine. We ordered so many different items, spicy shrimp rolls (California roll without the avocado because Avocado = yuck), Bulgoki (a Korean dish which tastes like a stir fry version of the best beef stew you've ever had. Pretty much the Bulgoki (bull-go-key) is a bed of stir fried carrots, onion, zucchini, broccoli with a delicious beef broth that adds flavor to thinly sliced pieces of beef on top with a very mild pepper in it. It was pretty good and something I recommend for those who love a heartier meal in the cool weather. I went with my usual go-to of the spicy shrimp California rolls, without the avocado which makes them spicy shrimp rolls, but if you want the spicy sauce on top you have to say California rolls and then whatever you don't want. Unless unlike myself, you actually believe an avocado tastes like food? I ordered 3 orders of it which equates to 18 rolls or 3 hand rolls. Garnished with a spicy green wasabi paste (fresher than the paste on the premade sushi stand at the grocery stores) and pickled ginger slices to cleans your palate after the meal, I love these rolls. Probably the simplest to make in comparison to an entire page of sushi (prepared cooked meat) or a choice of sashimi (raw food) I have never been terribly brave enough to venture beyond what I know. But if you want to get crazy, you can definitely find some great sushi/sashimi options. I like to dip my sushi rolls in the Katsu sauce. It is part of the Chicken Katsu dish but you can order the sauce for dipping with whatever your heart is content with. The chicken Katsu is another favorite as it is planks of thin panko crusted and lightly fried chicken breast meat and you can dip it in the Katsu sauce which I can only explain as a slightly smoky savory robust sauce with a weird non-citrus tasting A1-type flavor ans soy sauce mixed with possibly a hint of Worcestershire sauce and something a bit sweet. It is so good on the chicken and even the sushi rolls go well with it. We also had two side salads which was the house side salad of iceberg lettuce and carrots with a delicious light ginger dressing and the cucumber salad which is thinly sliced cucumber in a very tart vinaigrette dressing that makes the cucumber taste a bit sweet like homemade relish almost. It was my least favorite as I don't like sweet cucumber or relish flavor. And the beverages are served from cans in a cooler. No worries about mystery flavors from a barely cleaned beverage machine with dirty fountain nozzles. This may also increase the price if you want more than a single soda. I have easily spent $30-$40 in my younger days destroying my wallet to order sushi. This meal, with all but the chicken Katsu totaled $50 before the 20% tip. It was more than enough for two people to eat and given the quantity I think a small third person would have easily fit into this price range for not much more. I love the look of this place. Always have. I find the design aesthetic to look like the sushi bars in Japan. Before COVID every time I have gone in the Korean chefs had their old school blues music playing because those guys loved their blues music. Today was a bit different as Spanish and American pop music. But this isn't a party atmosphere typically as even when I have been in here during the dinner rush, it has never been loud. There is also a small party room in the back for more private dining events. The servers are always friendly. This has always been my absolutely favorite sushi place read more

Still incredible!! Highly recommend Santa Maria, cherry blossom, and drunken tiger specialty rolls.

This place has a great happy hour and a good local spot for sushi. I've also tried their chicken yaki soba but didn't care for that as it was very bland. Service has been good each time i've visited. Overall everything about this place is just quick and easy! read more

Horrible!! Sushi chef had no personality and just stared at people. I ordered spicy sushi scallops. It was shredded crab meat with a scallop or portion on top. It wasn't even chopped up or spicy. I ordered just miso soup and received a salad and soup....and charged for both. Do not go to this place. Absolutely not a good sushi restaurant. Sad! read more

Food was good, not great. Enjoyed the sushi rolls. The sashimi seemed a bit more hit or miss. The soup and salad were both quite good. Service was friendly although a bit distracted at times and overall slowish. Also had a bit of confusion when ordering the sushi boat. It comes with 21 pieces and we asked if we could specify which pieces. We were told yes but when it came it was 42 pieces!!! lol. We ate as much as we could and didn't say anything as we were all confused and I'm sure our waitress didn't understand the question so that's on us in part. Ambiance was fine, neither loud nor quiet. I would recommend for someone adventurous and wanting to experience a different menu in the Columbus area. Very convenient to the movie theater. read more

The salad comes with the seafood udon. The salad's sauce has a weird sour taste to it that I am not a fan of. The seafood udon has about 2 scallops, 2 prawns and 3/4 squids in it, along with some vegetables and the broth is okay. I think the udon has a sizeable portion to it. read more

Came by for Happy Hour (3-6PM Monday through Thursday I believe) & it was great! 1/2 off specific rolls & appetizers. Got to try a wide variety of items, everything tasted yummy. Service was good too. For two people we got- edamame, spicy tuna, gyoza, a radish roll, 2 nigiri, one class roll & one chefs roll for under $50. read more

I had the chicken teriyaki bowl lunch special. Because I stepped away from the table to wash my hands, when I returned, I found that the waitress had brought me a bowl of salad, but I really wanted the miso soup. When I asked about this, she said the lunch special comes with either a salad or the soup. I said it was alright, but later she brought me some soup and said it was compliments of the restaurant. How sweet! The dish was ok. It did have more onions than I would prefer, as I would have liked more carrots or broccoli. But the vegetables were nicely cooked. I did add extra soy sauce to it. Lastly, I thought it was hilarious to listen to '70s music while in a sushi restaurant. "Play That Funky Music and "Dancing Queen" were just some of the songs on the playlist, which they said was from Amazon, and they just like to mix the music up a bit from day to day. The staff is very friendly, and they don't seem too busy to have a small conversation with you (like about music). read more

Solid spot for sushi. Stopped here tonight and hit the tail end of their happy hour that runs 3-6pm. 1/2 off select drinks including saki and half off select rolls and appetizers. Service was great and checked on us throughout our stay. Would definitely come back for more sushi in the future especially during happy hour! read more

You know those days when you want to take yourself out for a nice quiet meal. When you want to spend time with your personal trio (me, myself and I) and indulge in something yummy that warms the soul? Sushi En is perfect for that. I'd like to reiterate what everyone said. The firecracker roll is amazingly delicious. If you're into new style rolls with sauces, toppings, some creaminess and a bit of spice then it's perfect. I loved it. This roll plus a bowl of miso was enough for me to be just full enough to tackle the afternoon. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place has delicious sushi. The staff was so nice and friendly, and it was in a quieter section of the mall which was easy to park in. I came during a happy hour on a weeknight, so they had a few select appetizers and sushi rolls that were half off. I got the crab salad appetizer, and it came out super quickly. It had chopped cucumber on the bottom and SO MUCH crab! Almost a little too much for me. I like a good pic of crab and cucumber in this type of dish, but it is very crab heavy. The sushi I ordered was also great! Some of the prices were very chunky and hard to eat. The sweet potato and cream cheese roll had large chunk of tempura sweet potato hanging on the end, and it was just harder to eat, but still very tasty. They also had a roll served warm, with shrimp tempura, crab on top, and some sauces. This was something different and new for me, and I really liked it- it was very filling. I also tried an Alaska roll, with really nice quality fish. they added some green sprouts, which was something I have never had before in an Alaska roll, but it was fine! Overall, the food quality was good and I appreciate the attentive and friendly staff. I would definitely give it a try if you are wanting sushi, the reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is that the sushi rolls lack a bit of finesse that I have seen at some other places. The taste was good, but the end prices were smaller, and the sweet potato roll was chunky and not streamlined and as neat. read more

Sushi En never disappoints! I have been coming here for years, and thank goodness they made it through the pandemic! I started eating low carb and was worried I wouldn't be able to enjoy my favorite sushi place. I called to see if they could make the sushi with no rice and wrapped in cucumber, and the sushi chef was happy to accommodate! I'm able to enjoy my favorite close to home sushi place, and I appreciate the chef for being willing to make the changes without compromising the quality or taste! If you're in the Polaris area, and enjoy sushi...make this a must stop! Try their signature roll, I couldn't get it this trip, but hopefully I will be able to in the future. read more

For those wanting to venture outside of Kroger sushi a bit, this is a great place to start! Sushi En's menu contains pages of options, which came off a bit intimidating at first until we broke it down into sushi-only. Still was pretty confusing maneuvering through all the pages. We ordered Negimaki $7.95 (beef slices grilled in teriyaki wrapped around asparagus) and the Chicken Yakitori $6.95 (skewered, teriyaki-grilled chicken with peppers & onions) appetizers. Negimaki is always delicious and my go to appetizer at sushi restaurants. I've never had Chicken Yakitori before, so I had no idea what to expect and ended up really impressed with the presentation. However, the chicken tasted really dry and we were happy we tried it! We stuck to only Sushi En Special rolls that were conveniently all on the same page. The tastiest one was the Last Samurai Roll ($15.95), next best was the Monroe Roll ($13.95), and I can't remember the 3rd rolls we tried but it was okay, would avoid next time if I could remember what it was called... Overall, a neat sushi conveniently located right in Polaris and close-by. Definitely will be back to try different sushi! read more

Oh how I have missed you, Sushi En! I am seriously disappointed that it took me over eight years to find my way back to Sushi En! Sushi En used to be my favorite sushi spot when I lived in Hilliard (not too far away from Polaris). I would say that it is still one of my favorite sushi spots; however, it is now 35 minutes away! Boo! I met up with a friend at Sushi En last week and it was so nostalgic. I forgot about how cute and small the restaurant is, how amazing and friendly the servers are, and how bomb the firecracker roll is! For anyone that plans to visit Sushi En, you cannot visit without getting the firecracker roll. It is seriously the most amazing roll that I have ever had. It is purely phenomenal! I also tried the Sober Monkey Roll which is a new roll on their menu. That was pretty good too. I really liked the smokiness of the torched salmon on the roll. So yum! What I also used to enjoy about Sushi En is the Korean dishes. The Korean dishes are truly authentic and traditional. While my friend and I dined in (on a Wednesday around 5:30 PM), every table was full. That is how amazing this place is! They also have some nice happy hour specials as well. From 3 PM - 6 PM, Monday - Thursday, they offer 50% off drinks, select appetizers, and select sushi rolls. I highly recommend Sushi En to all of my sushi lovers out there! I promise that I will definitely be back again soon! read more
