Ennmann Japanese Restaurant

Don't be fooled by the puritan, below-ground space, Ennmann is one of the top Japanese restaurants in Budapest specializing in seafood: besides chirashi, sashimi, and regular sushi (nigiri and maki), they serve a host of maki variations. The shrimp tempura, the rice bowl topped with eggs, onions, and sliced pork cutlet (katsudon), and the yakisoba buckwheat noodles are also good.

Ennmann is located on a beautiful stretch of the Danube's bank, which makes it all the more frustrating that the dining space is subterranean (there's a stunning view of the Hungarian Parliament as you ascend to the street level). Prices, similar to comparable Japanese restaurants, are on the higher end by local standards. Japanese sake and beers are available.
