| - I'm surprised that there are so many negative reviews of this restaurant. My experience here was exactly as I had hoped it would be and the food was better than most of the Asian restaurants around this area. You can't complain that the food is boring if you're ordering vegetable lo mein. Branch out and try something that you wouldn't normally get from your local "Dragon House" or "Mr Chow's." It's an upscale restaurant, so everything from the rice to the napkins will be expensive. It'll be that way wherever you go. DUH..
*The website is epic.*
I especially liked the interiors of Enso. A lot of thought was put into evoking a contemporary fine dining atmosphere with a bit of Asian flair. It was a little too dark for my taste (difficult to take pics), but that didn't deter from the quality of my visit. We started off with the chicken lettuce wraps and the Asian ceviche. The wraps were exquisite. The peanut sauce was far better than the chicken sauttee peanut sauce I was expecting. It was slightly tangy, salty, and the peanut flavor was milder, allowing the minced chicken to stand out. The Asian ceviche was good, but the cucumber was somewat overpowering the fish. Needed more citrus and seasoning, but I let it slide because it was fresh and a good contrast to the rest of the meal.
The next course was the greatest Korean Short Rib (Kalbi) I've had in a while. Think of freshly pulled pork, but in beef form, with a ton of spices, gooey marinade, and melt-in-your-mouth streaks of fat. All this laid neatly upon the actual short rib bone that rests upon some type of rice preparation and sweet sauce. It was so delicious. My mouth is watering thinking of it. The other entree was the pan seared scallops with the cone/turd looking like edamame mashed potatoes. It could be a little too salty for some people's taste, but I loved it. Powerful and in-your-face flavors.
We also sampled the sushi, which was indeed expensive, but spoke for itself with its sheer quality. I ordered the Toro Crunch or something like that and the dish wasn't overpowered by marinades or sauces and was finished with a piece of tuna sashimi on top. Perfect chewiness to the rice. I didn't even reach for the soy.
The waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and had superb recommendations. The place wasn't busy which is why we probably got our food promptly. I've been back three times now. It's that good
I highly recommend it. Feels like you're going to a nightclub.
