| - VENUE/AMBIANCE (2 stars)
Plenty of parking in the plaza. The actual entrance faces Main Street, but there is a side door that leads through the bar. Dimly lit, western pub style booth seating in the restaurant are probably the remnants of the previous establishment. We were seated by the window which emanated cold air. I sat away from the sill as it looked dirty. Restaurant was pretty empty on a Thursday night, probably only had 4-5 tables when we arrived at 7pm.
SERVICE (3 stars)
Not much service to speak of. The waiter took our order on her tablet (incorrectly, I might add) and left. No one came by to check how we were doing all night. Food was set on the table quickly and efficiently.
FOOD (2)
The cooked items we ordered were pretty bland. We ordered, among other things: chicken karaage, salmon belly, chicken wings, and chicken pad thai. Nothing seemed seasoned/marinated. A bit of salt and pepper prior to deep frying/cooking would have been greatly appreciated. In their current state, no one at our table finished their food. The tempura battered items were oily. Sashimi/raw fish items were okay but not remarkable. I do commend their octopus menu items as it's not widely offered at other sushi restaurants. Unfortunately, there was too much rice in the sushi but the rolls were okay. The green tea ice cream was not good quality but the coconut ice cream was good. The coffee cake we ordered was dry and didn't taste fresh. Mango yogurt was standard fare. Water tasted faintly of dish detergent.
QUALITY/VALUE (2)
At $27.99/person for disappointing food and minimal service, I think Senjyu is overpriced considering also their location. Pop is an additional $2/person, refills free. I don't think I will return.
