    Drunken Tiger (left), Dragon (middle left), Rainbow (middle right), Spider (right)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    Shrimp California & spicy tuna with tempura fry topping

    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.

    Sashimi - really fresh!
    Ces C.

    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

    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!

    The sushi bar at Sushi En

    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

We've been during restaurant week and there was a long wait, and where you just walk right in and get seated. Every part of the experience is well managed. The hostess is absolutely adorable and so kind. She got screamed at my disgruntled customers (because they were asked to leave after the 2 hours slotted because there was a long wait) and she was so kind to them and just took it. She helps change the grates, and even placed an order for meat for us! The wait staff is also super kind and helpful. Offering recommendations if you don't know what to try, and being super responsive. Our drinks were never empty and the meat was always on our table! The quality of meat/seafood is very good. We've tried the marinated chicken (spicy and not), the beef and pork bulgogi, both were very good. We've had the brisket, the pork belly, the calamari (both spicy and not) and it was all so fresh and yummy. The denver steak was a hit and even the marinated shrimp are an amazing option! Everything comes out so fast and so your table will always be full! We have been to Kbbq in a lot of different places (both in ohio and out) and this place is the best out there. whether it's a date night, a family celebration, or just craving an amazing meal- this is your spot.

We decided to do the hot pot so we all have our own little pots to eat out of. They have a little bar in the front of the restaurant where it has all kinds of fixings and dipping items, sesame, red bean balls. So delicious. I will say that the prices are a little much, especially if you're not someone that eats a lot. And if you decide to take whatever food that you have even if it's just the broth home, you have to pay an extra $14 for it. There is no meal options for people who had gastric bypass or can't eat a lot of food at once. Other than that, it is really tasty and delicious many options even vegan ones! We got all kinds of vegetables, tofu, and I got the shrimp dumplings. The waitress was also really friendly and patient with us.

I'm used to Korean BBQ in California, especially OZ Korean BBQ, and the difference is noticeable. Their appetizers are made fresh to order, their meat is much better quality, and even the desserts are better. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the K-Pot option here. For $40, I expected better-quality meat and fresher, more flavorful food. It's not terrible, but there are definitely better Korean BBQ options for the price.

Thank you for bringing me back home when I'd sit on the floor at my mother's third oldest brother's house... mom had eight brothers and sisters and the oldest was as old as her father could be... almost 20-30 years older, actually...she was pretty lonely with no close-in-age sibling around... It was my first visit to Korea and have not been back. But it brings me back. 해물 순두부찌개 (Spicy soft tofu stew with seafood Haemul sundubu-jjigae)...it has the dashi-approach around the fringe of its flavor profile... dimensions!

I just wanted a true fried for life--no binding obligations to the "for life" part... So here I am. Back home. Back to the beginning... I'm not waiting for Vizzini. But please... father I have failed you for 20 years, please I need you to to guide my sword and I cannot do it alone. It's the broth. Before anyone says "high prices for non premium ingredients"... I say hold on... it comes down to: labor and love. Korean cooking is not just ingredients alone. It is the salt. It is the hand kneading, flavor, and marrying of such (pun). There is more than a spirit in the cooking. More than just the soul. But emotion. Maybe Koreans feel this in our blood. Google the word "Han" and maybe you'll get just a drop of taste on the tongue to taste and see. This is a one woman show. Plus her kitchen staff or just one helper in the whole restaurant.

Restaurant Silla is one of those hidden-in-plain-sight gems -- tucked in the same shopping center as Marc's, yet I'd walked past it for years without noticing. A coworker finally nudged me to give it a shot, and I'm glad they did. Inside, it's cozy but vibrant. Neon lighting dances off paper lanterns above, and there's a fish tank so boldly decorated it could double as an aquarium exhibit. (Shoutout to whoever's in charge of the underwater vibe.) Ordering is all done via touchscreen tablets at the table -- easy, fast, and gives you space to browse without pressure. ‍ As for the food... let's break it down: * Chap Chai ($16) Stir-fried glass noodles with beef and veggies This was my personal order -- and unfortunately, a one-bite fail. The noodles were clumped and glossy with a sauce texture I couldn't get past. I passed the dish off, and to be fair, the person who finished it texted later saying it was actually really good... but understood why I couldn't hang. Texture-sensitive eaters, consider yourself warned. * Young-Ja Mandu (Large - $25) Deep-fried dumplings with spicy sauce and a side salad The dumplings themselves? Excellent -- crispy, flavorful, no complaints. The salad was surprisingly fruity, with chunks of apple, pear, and possibly mango tossed in. Super fresh, a little odd, but definitely not forgettable. * Fried Dumplings ($8) Pork and veggie, served with seasoned soy sauce These were the winner of the night. Perfectly crisp outside, juicy and flavorful inside. Straightforward and well-executed -- I'd come back for these alone. Before the entrees landed, we were served a complimentary spread of banchan (Korean side dishes) -- a mix of pickled radish, cucumbers, bean sprouts, a creamy slaw, something red and spicy that might've been seafood... who knows, but I'd eat it again. It was a thoughtful, generous touch and gave the meal a more immersive feel. A few things to know: - This is authentic Korean food, not Americanized. If something doesn't hit right, it's likely your palate -- not the kitchen. - Prices had me expecting either larger portions or more premium ingredients. That wasn't always the case, so plan your order accordingly. Final Thought: Silla isn't trying to be everyone's favorite. It leans into traditional Korean flavors and textures unapologetically -- and I respect that. If you're the kind of eater who's curious, open-minded, and willing to explore beyond your usual go-tos, this place offers a real-deal intro to Korean dining. Bonus points if you stay for karaoke -- or just bask in the glowing neon and aquarium glow while sipping on hot tea.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.
