Even though there are lots of small Japanese eateries that have opened up serving fresh sushi and sashimi, sometimes I just want something quick (eating time not waiting time) and reliable to soothe my sushi craving. Sen-ryo ticks the boxes on all accounts and I must say I have never had a bad experience there as of yet.There are quite a few branches of Sen-ryo, but I tend to frequent the one up at IFC most. At peak hours, be prepared to wait for at least 45mins to an hour, but hey you are in IF
There are quite a few branches of Sen-ryo, but I tend to frequent the one up at IFC most. At peak hours, be prepared to wait for at least 45mins to an hour, but hey you are in IFC, so take a number and go shopping, they will give you a call when there are 10 tables ahead of you.
Once seated, whisk your own green tea from the powder provided and with the hot water tap right in front of you, there is no need to worry that your tea cup will be empty.
You can opt to pick from the dishes circling around the sushi train or place your order with the server. Generally most people seem to order from the menu even though the same items are passing by on the train as it seems that you will be getting fresher items, I do not know if that is necessarily true, but I think it is a psychological thing (yes I admit I do it too).
Sushi time~
Oyster sushi- this was Mr. C's and it looked so good. Big and plump, Mr. C said it was very sweet and fresh.
Salmon sashimi- lusciously soft, just look at those tiger stripes of fat
Jumbo scallop sushi- Mr. C's favourite, so meaty, its like the equivalent of two normal-sized scallops.
Sweet egg sushi- a thick slice of multi-layered sweet egg with a belly full of rice. I love this as the egg is subtly sweet with a whisper of flavour from the use of mirin.
Prime fatty tuna sushi- blushing pink, this did not melt in the mouth as I was expecting it too, but it was still enjoyable.
Sea Urchin gunkan maki- ochre yellow and a little bit runny, this was gorgeously rich with a fresh briny flavour.
Prime salmon belly- look at those tiger stripes of fat adorning the salmon belly~ it melted effortlessly in the mouth.
Octopus sushi- I did not try this, but Mr. C seemed to like it.
Fresh octopus sushi- this was seasonal, and Mr. C explained that this was sliced while the octopus was still alive as you could see it was uneven and wrinkly in areas. This was more tender than the normal octopus sushi.
Tofu in sesame sauce- lightly chilled, the tofu was delicately soft and the accompanying sesame sauce was lovely and creamy.
Miso soup- I really like the miso soup at sen-ryo even though I am sure it must be packaged. There is an abundance of seaweed, little mushrooms and tofu cubes inside and the best thing is it seems to have minimal MSG as I do not feel thirsty afterwards.
Very satisfying
