    Vodka gnocchi is absolutely fantastic. Place is great for dine in or pick up and on the go. Had many small size business meetings of 10-12 people and staff has always been more than accommodating. Highly recommend.

    We’ve been coming to Senso regularly since they first opened and every visit is something to look forward to! Recently, we celebrated our third anniversary here, and I can’t express enough how special the entire team made us feel. Firstly, the ambiance is beautiful. From the cherry blossoms, to the intimate lighting, to the charming, golden lucky cats adorning the walls, every detail feels intentional. There’s something playful and creative about the space, yet equally tasteful, sophisticated, and refined without feeling pretentious. Secondly, the menu… ! The creativity, variety, freshness, and ingredients are amazing. Everything feels thoughtfully curated with flavors and textures that complement eachother. Our favs are the K-Pop Fries, Crispy Rice Flight, Forbidden Panda cocktail, and Japanese Donuts, though there’s always something new to experience! The cocktail selection is equally impressive, with so many imaginative and tasty options. Even the desserts are something to look forward to. Please bring back the ube ice cream!💜 Lastly, the hospitality is truly exceptional. Every team member we’ve interacted with has always been professional, attentive, warm, and welcoming. For our anniversary, they graciously accommodated a special request of ours and beautifully decorated our table with blossoms, surprised us with a celebratory sparkler, and provided a thoughtful Prosecco toast! Their generosity and attention to detail were beyond anything I expected. I’ve never quite experienced this level of thoughtfulness for a romantic evening, and it meant so much to us :-)
