Enn Sushi Restaurant: Review Revisited.

I love sushi.

I don’t remember how she did it, but my sister is the one that convinced me to try it when I was a sophomore in college. Since then, I was hooked. In fact, there is an all-you-can-eat place called Sushi Palace on Washington Avenue in North Haven (CT) that I absolutely love. My friends and I try to go at least once a week – sometimes we end up there twice a week. (Maybe that’s why my bridesmaid’s dress for my best friend’s July wedding has become a little snug….don’t tell her)!

There is one problem to this story, though. In June, I will be moving into my boyfriend’s house in Rhode Island. Being over an hour away, I’m obviously going to have to give up my weekly all-you-can-eat. So, this past weekend, I made it my mission to try a sushi place in Rhode Island that could replace Sushi Palace. Hearing of this mission, my boyfriend took me to Enn in Lincoln, RI.

The ambiance was really quite nice. Sometimes nicer restaurants can be a little too dark. During one of my first trips to Rhode Island, we went to a different sushi place called Bon, which was delicious, but was so dark that I had to use the light from my cell phone to read the menu. At Enn, though the lights were dim, there was plenty of natural light coming from the front window wall of the building – making for a comfortable atmosphere. Now, I didn’t know this, but on Saturdays Enn provides live music. So we got to enjoy contemporary piano music while we ate.

Almost $100 worth of raw fish…but so delicious

My boyfriend and I got a mix of basic sushi rolls and “fancy rolls” – which basically means that there are more components to the roll other than fish and rice. Some come with hot peppers, others have cream cheese, etc. You will also find avocado in almost every roll.

Everything we ordered was delicious and you could tell that the fish was of the freshest quality available. The rolls we got were a mix of fried oyster and asparagus (this roll was HUGE. Like, I needed to cut it in half huge), tuna and hot peppers in a chili sauce and salmon and hot peppers coated in wasabi mayo. I’m not a fan of wasabi, I find it to be too bitter. But the mayo cooled it down just enough that the tang was still there without being offensive to the tongue. Though I didn’t dislike any of the rolls we had. My absolute favorite and go-to rolls will always be the basic spicy salmon, which is salmon coated in chili sauce and rice. Some places include a thin slice of avocado but this varies in different restaurants.

I will say, the service in this place was quite impressive. I’ve waited close to half an hour to get my food in some sushi places. But at Enn, I waited no more than fifteen minutes. However, this place is a little to expensive to be a once a week kind of hangout. Our meal came close to $100, which just isn’t in my budget. I do recommend it, though, if you are passing through the area and want a place to stop for a romantic dinner date or family gathering.
