| - I have a friend that has a Bistro downtown...and he keeps telling me to come in to check it out, so I called him tonight to get directions and he said that he is only open for lunch. He then referred me to Sens, and said it was a lovely Sake Tapas, with traditional Asian food and flair.
I was not disappointed. Our server Christian by far was very helpful and very informative on every meal and item on the menu, he also had a huge amount of knowledge about the different saki's, to his credit I think Sens needs to give him a raise, if I owned a restaurant I would be trying to convince him to leave and come work for me, but since I don't own a restaurant Sens is safe.
What we had:
Tokkuri Daiginjo Saki which went well with our meal and for a small bottle was only $7.00 bucks
The Miso soup with shrimp was delicious, and the flat rice noodles in this soup are to die for, and is full of exotic vegetables and the shrimp in it was large, plentiful and tasted fresh. This was $10.00 but is more then enough for two people it comes in a iron cast bowl with a wooden spoon and cover very authentic.
My friend got the Wasabe Tofu with the soy Wasabi and minced garlic crumbs, this was delicious, I do not like tofu that much but could probably die eating this stuff because it was so good. This was only $4.00.
I got the Wasabi Soy chicken which was delicious. This was $7.00 and well worth it there was more then enough for me.
A few added extras about this place, the water is infused with cucumber and you can see a piece or two of it floating within the serving pitcher it is just enough to give the water a sweet but fresh taste.
The ambiance is nice, very low lit and the music is very modern I heard everything from Sugar Hill Gang to Massive Attack and Portishead...very cool.
There is a monk statue in the front of the door way where people seem to put money on at the base of the statue, the server said people do it for good karma...we left a dollar...hopefully it will come back to us.:)
The total was $30.00 bucks great for two people. Love this place will definitely be back.
