While Engimono doesn't look like much from the outside, they offer very fresh high quality fish, the perfect rice to fish ratio (not too rice heavy), and very nice and friendly service. We live in the neighborhood and usually go once a week.
We typically stick to the "regular" no frills rolls, as they're my favorite and showcase the quality of the fish the best in my opinion, but we also enjoy the Romantic roll, Temple roll, Rainbow roll, and 76ers roll. For regular rolls, the stand out ones are: alaska, salmon mango, spicy scallop, eel cucumber, tuna avocado, and yellowtail scallion. I never order shrimp tempura rolls because I always find them to taste stale or oily, but Engimono does it right! It's massive and it's amazing if you ask for a side of spicy mayo to dip it in. Trust me.
BYOB and they take reservations, although we usually just walk in and never have an issue being seated quickly. -

Engimono Sushi was a tasty and enjoyable experience, but without anything particularly remarkable to set it apart.
The rolls we got were fresh and pleasing. The restaurant ambiance was polished and comfortable, though a smidge cafeteria-esque. The service was friendly, and we didn't need to wait too long for our food. They also have TV's on the wall, in case you want to follow a sports game while enjoying lunch or dinner.
Ultimately a fine meal, but not anything particularly amazing that I feel compelled to try again. -

Cool and chill sushi spot in the neighborhood. Sat down right away and pleasant service.
Been here a few times and each time has been good. The vibe is nice with changing ceiling lights and it's a BYOB!
I ordered the miso soup that wasn't any thing spectacular. My friend got the chicken gyoza that was good. I also had the tasty sweet potato (with crunchy on top), shrimp tempura, and spicy crabmeat sushi. All of the sushi was enjoyable!
Really nice spot to eat sushi, sip wine, and lounge. -

This is a new restaurant in the neighborhood that I hope has staying power. We have ordered delivery, takeout and also dined in. I can't say I have had a bad meal or experience here. I have had their lunch bento boxes which are around $10. For delivery/takout, we usually get sushi rolls, shumai, and other apps. I always love what I order. Prices are pretty standard compared to similar places in the city.
Inside the restaurant, it's bright, clean and has good music playing. Service is friendly and attentive. It never seems that busy but maybe they do a lot of take-out and delivery business.
It is a great addition to the neighborhood. -

I am no sushi expert.. BUT I do frequently eat sushi and appreciate some good rice & fish. I didn't expect much coming here but this place was far better than I thought it would be.
We started with an appetizer - the firecracker shrimp & I was pleased at how fresh the shrimp was (& just overalll so tasty with the sauce). I ordered a Chirashi sushi entree (which includes a soup or salad) and my bf got a bento box (his signature order when we go to these type of sushi restaurants).
I kid you not, this was the BEST chirashi I've ever had - the presentation was 10/10 and the fish tasted SO delicious & fresh (like it wasn't 'fishy' but just melted the way I like my sashimi!). Everything in the bento box was flavorful & yummy too. We ended up being way too full to finish - but overall we were surprised at how filling AND good our meal was. We'll definitely be back for more!
