En Sushi

Ante and Edna invited us for dinner at En Sushi yesterday. I was so excited since I don't get to have sushi as often as I would like, as most of my friends do not care for it. They have been there numerous times, which only means the food is very good!

Sandi was the only person in our group who did not share our enthusiasm but promised to try some. Ante and Edna wanted to make sure she, too, would enjoy dinner, so they graciously allowed her to order something else, which was Chicken Teriyaki. That came with soup and salad. She was pressured into trying 2 items, and she did like them. So, there's always hope.

Ante brought a bottle of Sake. I have had sake, but not a good one, so I decided to try this one. It was excellent! I took a picture so I won't forget the name. Ante assured me I would not forget if I just thought of the word horny. I could just imagine myself going to Bevmo asking for Sake that sounds like horny.

I left all the ordering to them. We started with 2 orders of the Garlic Edamame. This was absolutely the best edamame I've ever had. It had lots of garlic and chilies, making it a bit spicy. They ordered 2 orders of everything. The  Crispy Soft Shell Crab was delightful with its own sauce. 

Then came a bunch of plates: Albacore sushi, Yellowtail Sushi, Tuna Sushi, Salmon Kama, and Yellowtail Kama. I didn't have time to figure out what was what. I just dug in and started my heavenly journey. 

The Hello Tuna was one of my favorites since it was different. It had crispy rice on the bottom and spicy tuna with avocado, cucumber, and masago wrapped in soy paper. The texture gave in an oomph, if you know what I mean. The Cucumber Rolls were as good as it looked.

We were stuffed. Just imagine there were 8-12 pieces on most of the plates, and they ordered 2 of each. In fact, I believe they ordered an extra one (makes 3 plates) for seven of us.

Gary brought a light dessert that was perfect. He gave us each a Hostess Apple Pie Cookie from Cookie Good. These are seasonal and won't be available after Sept. 7, 2023. We all loved the chewy cookie that tasted like apple pie!

We had so much fun eating, laughing, and drinking. There is one very sad thing about this. En Sushi is located at 11651 Santa Monic Blvd. in Los Angeles. It's too far from where I live. That makes me want to cry!

Thank you, Ante and Edna, for a marvelous dining experience.
