Johnny has opened Sens just down the street from Matt's Big B and in the same building as the future PastaBar.\n\nThis is everything that Fate hinted at with its wonderful small dish appetizers. But with more playfulness, higher quality ingredients and fantastic execution.\n\nSens is, I guess, Asian-Fusion tapas. It's meant for sharing, then ordering more of what you like the best. Those decisions are not always easy. The regular menu is pretty extensive, and there are exciting specials, like steamed, then flash fried salt&pepper cornish game hens. Yum.\n\nRegular items that are a must try:\n\n - rich miso soup that you can add clams and other options to \n \n - soup gyoza: there's soup inside the wonton skin, along with the meat filling. amazing.\n\n - red curry chicken wings: figure it out\n\n - anything with his fried tofu wedges is a HIT\n\n - lime-mint beef: lovers of thai will dig his spin on this\n\n - ginger fish in banana leaf: succulent, clean and flaky\n\nAnd a full bar and creative owner mean excellent frou frou drinks. But these frou frou's will kick your ass. The Pink Ginger Martini disturbs me just a little because my mom's name is Ginger. But not enough to keep me from downing a couple each time. POW.\n\nI hate to say it, but this place should be packed, and I'm afraid it will be soon. So we're gonna soak it up all we can in meantime."^^ . "2"^^ . "2009-01-04T00:00:00"^^ .
