Master Critic Review
Enso
8.4
Enso is a design-forward omakase on Berry Street inspired by Kyoto-style minimalism, with a chef’s counter, lounge, and garden that all run fixed-course tastings. Early reviews highlight precise nigiri, cocktails, and a room that feels like a quieter, more intimate alternative to Manhattan omakase temples.

What makes it special: Kyoto-inspired omakase where the room, cocktails, and sushi all feel choreographed together.
Who should go: Diners wanting luxe omakase without Midtown stiffness.
When to visit: Early seatings for calmer service, late for livelier bar energy.
What to order: Full counter omakase, signature sashimi course, hojicha pudding.
Insider tip: Check for lounge or garden tastings if counter seats are gone—the food is similar with a looser vibe.
