About this place
The small-plate set is a highlight of lunch at Enju, bringing together several little dishes to enjoy at your own pace. It comes with 9 small plates, a main, a bowl dish, rice and soup, offering a little of both traditional obanzai and creative cooking. One day's set featured chicken breast saltimbocca as the main, with green tea soba and sea bream in the bowl. Another diner described a mix of cold obanzai, fried food and a warm bowl dish made with yuba, noting how the different temperatures and textures kept the meal varied.
The set suits anyone keen to sample a range of dishes at lunch. For a more straightforward main, the classic lunch omurice is another option. It comes with demi-glace sauce and a salad, and the egg is soft and creamy; ask when ordering if you prefer it rolled. The pasta lunch also includes a salad, with a choice from the day's pasta.
For something sweet, there is Enju's pudding, served with either ice cream or whipped cream. One diner recalled enjoying its slightly firm, old-fashioned texture. At lunch, the appeal lies in the variety of the set; in the evening, diners can put together a meal with drinks by picking from obanzai and small plates.
