The portions are good for the price too. I always order the Seared Salmon with Black Pepper, Fried Tofu Skin, and Salmon Belly Nigiri. When I'm feeling down, I also order the Buttered Corn. Their menu isn't overwhelmed with too many specialty rolls, which is a good thing. Their handrolls are delicious and cheap. They offer rice bowls and fried food too! Overall, Genki is a favorite stop of mine when I'm in the area and want a light meal. A super plus is their AWESOME Shinkansen order system! :)

Nice. Very nice. The ambiance is great. Good food quality for its price. Will be back again.read more

OK, it's been a while since I've had some decent sushi and I was craving for some "good ass" sushi,…read moreFound It! Now, comparably speaking, I would have to say one of the better sushi places I've been to. I stumbled upon this place on yelp as I happened to go to another Japanese restaurant that was closed partially because I didn't look for their hours before going and partially because their hours we not listed on yelp yet, boo. What I did stumble upon was a photo... of Foie Gras sushi, which 1) I heart Foie Gras and 2) was reminiscent of my time in Hawaii when I was able to enjoy foie gras sushi my first time ever. Soooooo Off We GO to the new Sensei Sushi! Quite possibly one of the better decisions we will make this weekend in regards to cuisine. Service was good, but I did notice a drop off as the place got more and more busy with customers. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The server kept recommending things, which was good and bad, as in my opinion if I wanted some recommendations, I would simply ask and I've been to more than my share of sushi joints and usually know what to order. Nonetheless, overall very helpful. As for the food. One word, Yummy comes to mind, delicious, tasty, fresh-er than most places. OK, that's 7. I usually don't order cooked food at a sushi place, so my review is a mix of their raw and cooked menu. Seared Chutoro Sushi: Well prepared, well cut, not the absolute best part of the tuna belly compared to Otoro, but certainly a delicious treat! Chutoro Sushi: same as above, delicious, very satisfying for those who love that fatty goodness tuna belly has to offer. Foie gras Sushi: great cut, larger than most places I've had this similar dish. Seared perfectly, in my opinion. NOT burnt like most places here in the PH that over sear their foie gras, including Antonio's. MUST TRY! Amaebi: Looked and tasted very fresh. Color was gorgeous and sweet as it should be. Not too much wasabi to spoil it, perfectly balanced in my opinion. Oh! and they deep fry the heads so they can be eaten! Proper! Japanese Uni Sashimi: Color was much better than almost every place I've been in the PH. Looked and tasted fresh-er than most, there was 1 small brownish piece at the bottom, but overlooked it because at most other places, all the pieces are brown. Snaps for the nice yellow Uni to Sensei Sushi! Color wasn't eye popping yellow as it would be when super fresh, yet I'll take it over so many others in Metro Manila. Fish Tacos: Actually quite scrumptious. I wasn't prepared to have good fish tacos, but I saw them on the menu and couldn't resist. They were delicious. Ikura Sushi: A bit disappointed, color was a bit dark and wasn't super fresh, however, that's simply an opinion. I DO KNOW, there are many different grades of ikura, I'm just used to the bright orange color with more of a traditional salted caviar taste, this one just tasted like there was something else I wasn't familiar with. Seared Salmon Belly Suhsi: Another treat I was not expecting. I wasn't expecting a salmon belly so fatty similarly to their chutoro. Overall, very good. Tuna Dynamite Roll: For a roll, quite good. A nice filler, taste was on point with what you would expect in a more than decent roll. I forget the name of the last dish: it was thin strips of beef with chopped foie gras and uni. Quite honestly my first attempt at this dish was head on, meat, foie gras, uni. So sorry not quite what I had expected. THEN however, I deconstructed it, Uni by itself, which the uni on this dish we're I think local, was a bit fishy. BUT then, the foie gras and steak alone, darn it if that wasn't reminiscent to a filet topped with seared foie gras from Central Park Bistro in San Francisco! All that was missing was a perfectly balanced '12 Opus One red to cap it off. Overall: with the exceptions above... I will be back for more! A la cuisine! Stay Hungry My Friends

It's usually always better quality and tasty. Im not talking about japan good which is always a 10/10 but this was more like a 8/10 and the pricing made it 9/10 lol. There was not a negative thing I could say about the times I visited and ate lol my husband did I am sure get tired of it. He's more into Filipino food of course but usually if you grow up in the provinces food like this place isn't a daily or weekly thing so for him he got tired of it quickly lol I went to the one at MOA near the road entrance and the location at SM Baguio and both were fantastic! You do not have to talk to anyone lol which is more of my style. You click and choose what you want on the TV screen and it comes out to you. If it is a drink or larger item like a soup, they will hand deliver it but it's a quick drop and go kind of thing. There is a hot water spout at your table with matcha (which isn't the best grade) but it works lol Air con worked, it was never really "busy" when we went. Only a few tables but I'm sure it's because everyone was working at the times when we went.

So when you finally do come across a restaurant that's very authentic, you take note of it and such a place is Ogawa. It's right here in Bonafacio Global City (BGC). Their vast menu is quite impressive and the sashimi was super fresh and they had two types of sea urchin (local and from Japanese waters). We had both and by far, the imported uni from Japan was much better in texture and taste. I also enjoyed the nigiri set and I haven't had toro (fatty tuna) in soooo long, I'm glad that I splurged and had that too. That was incredibly soft and fatty. We had a party of 6, and we were able to reserve a private room, that was special. There's a big pahking lot and that's uncommon. I would definitely come back here again for a real deal, Japanese meal. Arigato Ogawa!!

The first time I ate here was unplanned. I honestly was a bit apprehensive to enter because I…read morethought the food would be too pricey. However, the day that I ate here, I was really having a BAD day. I wasted 5 good hours waiting on a meeting that I really didn't want to be in. So, I needed to make myself feel better...which means I needed a good hard drink + yummy food. I was there at around 6PM and, as I sat there looking at the menu, the server told me, "Ma'am, if you want, you can still avail of our Buy 1, Take 1 on our signature cocktails, highballs, and...BEER." WHUUUT?! After prodding my server, he basically told me that Izakaya Sensu is a "partner" restaurant with Chotto Matte which is a Japanese Liquor Bar beside/behind it. Since they have a Happy Hour, they also serve the same Happy Hour! NOICE-ness! However...the Happy Hour is only from 5-7PM. BUT, my server told me (if I wanted) that I can order til around 8PM. OMGGG! SOLD! I ended up ordering the Sakura Smile, Classic Suntory "Kakubin", and, of course, a Lychee Martini! I had 2 of each; these drinks were very good, very strong. I was very, very happy! :) NOW, for the food, since I was focused on the drinks, I only order 2 things: the Dragon Roll (unagi, cucumber, fish roe, tempura flakes) and a Uni & Maguro Masu (sushi in a wooden box for sake). If I had more space in my tummy or a dinner date, I would have also wanted to try the following: Wagyu Tataki, Hanjuku Tamago, Uni Yaki-Onigiri, and the Miso Chocolate Cake. This was a very good Japanese restaurant! Best to eat here with a friend so that you can share their sushi rolls and their Happy Hour cocktails. :)

I can't say that anything stood out except for how cool the place looked. The reason why I am not coming back is because this place had zero ambience when I visited. They were blasting 90s ballroom dancing next door loudly, not sure if there was a private party going on but it made the dining experience terrible. I was expecting a nice sit down, quiet dinner with friends but the music and partying made the whole experience of coming to this place quite pedestrian. I'm pretty sure I came on a bad day, so take this review in strides and just try it for yourself to see.
