    It was a little cold in the restaurant, this was due to it being a very cold night and the door allowed a breeze in every time someone arrived and left. Also the A/C was on in the men's room and the water was very cold. These issues are easily fixed. All in all the food was excellent and the service was top notch. The staff found the perfect balance of allowing my party to feel as if someone was always around and available without being over bearing. I prefer when staff allows patrons to enjoy the wonderful meal they prepared without constantly asking if we need anything. The food was amazing and the spicy miso soup was a welcomed change to the typical miso soup.

    Good spot if you're looking for somewhere to grab a bite before a Wicker Park show. Very adequate sushi restaurant. Me and my friends each ordered different rolls. We also got the Takoyaki which was delicious. Service was good but not overly excellent.

    Great sushi, atmosphere and service. Unlike others who had a loud music experience at Enso that wasn’t an issue for us.

    The food was AMAZING. The volume of the restaurant was absurdly loud. Very unpleasant. The music was so loud everyone was screaming at their tables.

    For a sunday night, there were 3 tables or roughly 10 people including us two. Service was quite slow. On top of the loud music they were playing cooking shows on the 4 TVs which was puzzling. Then, for 16-20$ a “specialty roll” and 12-15$ for regular rolls. They were all underwhelming. way too much for the quality/ taste. Honestly the only good part was the spicy miso soup. Sadly will not be going back even though I live across the street.
