Yeah okay. Finally tried Sensu... And... We were NOT FANS. My husband and I kept making weird faces at each other during our meal together wondering WHY people talk so highly of this spot. It's a wannabe Hoity Toity sushi spot that really is mediocre at best.
My husband got a roll on the menu that was spicy and a salmon cut roll. I'm surprised he didn't order more (he generally does) because I KNEW the portion sizes would be small... But he didn't because I think he had low expectations of this spot and didn't want to spend money on rolls he potentially might not like. And he was smart to do so because he wasn't impressed even a little bit. He ate his rolls because they were there but they did nothing for him.
My son got the chicken teriyaki. Such a small portion. But he ate it. And didn't complain, so that's good.
My mother in law got the shrimp tempura and again, small portion, but she ate it all and said it was fine.
What did I get?! Well, being the big eater that I am and ignoring prices... I ordered TWO sashimi platters (because 9 pieces just is NOT enough for me) and a hamachi kama. The sashimi looked gorgeous... And the salmon was buttery and delicious. The hamachi was okay, but the tuna... Really FISHY. It seemed like it was about to TURN in all honesty. I ate all of it though as I waited for my hamachi kama. When that came out, I was pleasantly surprised by the size (it was large) but I could tell that it wasn't cooked enough. No parts of the meat were raw thankfully, but it was borderline undercooked, which tends to make me nauseated. Over all though, it was fine. And it filled me up (for $18- I mention this because the menu simply says MP next to it).
Oh and we got edamame to start and there were like TWO edamame pods in the bowl.....
My husband and I said we were glad we went to Sensu so as to find out that it's nothing special AT ALL. In fact, grocery store sushi and sashimi is better. We really don't understand the hype around this spot. There is another spot in PTC that's 834663857483x better. Sensu should take notes from that spot.
