Enoshima is a Japanese restaurant in Cititel Express Penang. The restaurant opened to business on 2 April, 2015, along with the hotel itself. It is done with a pinewood finishing, as with many Japanese restaurants, but has some whimsical deco that includes bicycles and surfboards hanging from the ceiling. The lamps, made of shells, are quite pretty.
Enoshima Japanese Restaurant is owned by the same management of Kirishima, the Japanese restaurant at Cititel Penang. It is not operated by the hotel itself. However, guests of Cititel Express also take their breakfast at Enoshima.

My wife and I paid a visit to Enoshima on 14 May, 2015. We were one of the first people to enter the restaurant that evening, and were taken to a taken with views of the outside. I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Sushi set (RM42) while my wife ordered the Enoshima Makunouchi Bento (RM38).
The Salmon Teriyaki Sushi set has various sushi on a platter, along with a large piece of salmon, chawan mushi and miso soup. The Enoshima Makunouchi Bento has a selection of tempura, maki, sashimi, chawan mushi, salmon and miso soup.
On the whole, we find that this is one of the better Japanese restaurants in town, though we both agree that the salmon that they gave us was a bit dry. It would be perfect if it were a little juicier. Other than that, I have very little to complain about the food, and I look forward to visiting Enoshima again in the future.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
