Reviews Summary
Ensō Sushi garners praise for its incredibly fresh fish, creative roll combinations, and pleasant atmosphere, making it a favorite for many. However, some diners have experienced significant wait times and express concerns about portion sizes relative to the price, alongside occasional issues with ingredient freshness.
"Best spicy tuna roll I’ve ever had!!!! We were staying at Los Altos, so it was just a quick walk uphill. You could just tell how fresh the fish was. Thoroughly enjoyed. Our waiter also recommended a wonderful sake. Great way to start our stay in Manuel Antonio!"
Holly Laviolette
"If I could give zero stars, I would. Enso was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The wait for the food was ridiculous—we sat there for what felt like forever. When we finally asked about our order, they admitted they had run out of ramen and had to go to the store to buy more. And what did they serve us? I’m almost certain it was Maruchan instant noodles.
The portions were laughably small—like, appetizer size at best. Yet somehow, the total for four dishes came to a jaw-dropping $96 USD. For instant noodles and mini servings?!
Save yourself the disappointment and the outrageous bill. This place is a complete scam. Do not come here!"
Patricia Hernandez
"Overall our experience here was ok except rotten avocado in sushi , atmosphere is pretty nice. The wait time was too long. What really ruined this experience was the avacado in my sushi rolls. It was rotten. The staff there said it’s supposed to be like that since it’s fried , but never have I ever seen that before! So I questioned in the beginning, went through avocado and realised that it’s really not fresh . He then proceeded to try to prove to me the avacados were good by bringing me a new avacado and showing me how fresh it is ! I don’t understand why they couldn’t just make a new roll with fresh avacado instead of trying to prove me wrong. Wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for food control."
