Senmi Sushi - Just Another Sushi Restaurant

Closed

It is through the word of mouth about Senmi that I know of Emporium Shokuhin. But alas, this restaurant is the runt of the lot, offering nothing special as compared to its competitors.

The ambience is similar to the likes of Sushi Tei. Comfortable environment for dining, but there is nothing distinct about the venue. But then again, this hardly matters if the food is good.

The problem is that the food is just comparable to those of the chain restaurants. The menu features all the usual suspects of various types of rolls and sushi. And the quality is not a league above those restaurants. This contrasts greatly with another restaurant of Emporium Shokuhin, Takujo, whose raw seafood is so fresh. The salmon served in Senmi is pale in colour, which is not what I like to see in salmon. This is no different from those salmon sashimi I had at the common mass produced restaurants. I prefer quality salmon that has deeper hue of orange, and too bad that I cannot find it here.


The chirashi sounds interesting since the patrons can customize the toppings to add to the bowl of sushi rice. Though given the quality of the raw seafood, the end result is okay but not exceptional. The plus point of the chirashi is the pearl-like rice with fluffy, smooth texture.


Service is okay. Nothing special to make mention of.

This place is worth checking out if one is looking for a fairly decent Japanese restaurant serving Japanese food catered to the masses. But for unique dining experience, head to the other restaurants in Emporium Shokuhin instead.

My Thoughts: Not Bad

This place is currently not in operation.
