New Exciting Dishes to Try at Sen-Ryo Philippines

It's pretty obvious that I really love Japanese cuisine. This is why we keep going back to Japan whenever we can to eat all the sushi, wagyu, and other Japanese items that we want. But what about the months when we are not traveling? Thankfully, we can always go to Sen-Ryo Philippines, one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in the city.

With outlets all over Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, this popular chain has made its way to Manila offering its premium line of sushi, sashimi, tempura, Japanese wagyu, unagi, and more. They opened their first Philippine branch at The Podium Mall and now have two other branches in Mitsubishi Mall and in Greenhills Mall.

Sen-Ryo started in 1968 when Mr. Fumio Sairo created revolving sushi in Japan. Sen-Ryo is a premium sushi restaurant that brings an elevated Japanese dining experience. This was brought to the country by the same owners of Genki Sushi, which is also part of the Sen-Ryo chain of restaurants in Japan.

Aside from the lower floor, you can find more seats on the mezzanine level which also comes with two private horigotatsu rooms, a traditional Japanese table that has a recessed floor beneath it, and one private dining room for special gatherings.

Our friends got together one Thursday afternoon for an enjoyable lunch at Sen-Ryo at The Podium. It had been a while since we met with our The KTG blogger friends, so this was a really nice venue to catch up with the girls.

Our host Gwen Jacinto prepared a special menu for us to sample some of the new and exciting dishes at Sen-Ryo Philippines.

First, we ordered some of their refreshing beverages. The Ginza Spritz (P320) is a light and bubbly cocktail with a combination of sake, gin, passionfruit syrup, and lime juice. You can also try one of their fruit shakes like the Ripe Mango Shake (P220).

The California Roll (P450) is always a staple at Japanese restaurants here. This big serving comes with kanikama, ripe mango, cucumber and shrimp roe.

Sen-Ryo has a new and very unique sushi that actually sizzles! The Sizzling Spicy Tuna Roll is a fiery twist on the traditional spicy tuna as it is served hot on a sizzling grill. We really enjoyed this dish since it is the first time we have seen sushi rolls served like this.

If you want something more premium and traditional, the Signature Sashimi Set (P2500) is what you should order. This platter comes with seven kinds of sashimi including otoro (fatty tuna), akami (lean tuna), Norwegian salmon, Norwegian salmon belly, hamachi (yellowtail), ama ebi (sweet northern shrimp), and hotate or juicy Hokkaido scallops.

These sashimi are flown straight from Japan so you can really taste their quality and freshness. You can judge how good these are just by the way they look. It's like buying them from the Tsukiji markets!

Sen-Ryo also offers other appetizers like the Popcorn Shrimp (P650), a popcorn style shrimp served with a special dressing. I loved devouring these bite-sized shrimp poppers and almost finished the entire bowl by myself.

The Snow Crab Tempura Nigiri is another new highlight dish at Sen-Ryo Philippines. The delicate snow crab meat is cooked and served sushi style.

Noodle lovers like me will really enjoy the Seafood Yakiudon (P750), a stir fried udon mixed with seafood ingredients.

One of our favorite items in Japan is the unagi, so we were happy to find this on Sen-Ryo's menu. The Grilled Unagi (P880) is a grilled river eel with a special sweet unagi sauce.

You can also have the unagi as a rice bowl. Sen-Ryo also offers several rice bowls for those who want a complete meal in one order. The Unagi and Wagyu Beef Bowl is my favorite among their rice bowls because it comes with delicious unagi and wagyu beef on top of steaming gohan rice.

Another option is the Premium Chirashi Don (P890) with its premium sashimi and sushi on top of Japanese rice. Then there's the ever reliable Pork Katsu Don (P400) with tender pork cutlets on top of rice. This one can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

Finally, for dessert we had the Matcha Mille Crepe (P340) and the Strawberry Mille Crepe (P340). Both are fluffy layered cakes that Japanese desserts are well known for.

We would like to thank Sen-Ryo Philippines for hosting our small get together at The Podium Mall and showing us their new exciting menu items. Whenever we are craving for premium Japanese cuisine, Sen-Ryo always has the answer for our big appetites.

Just a quick break before going back to work. It's our first time to try Genki Sushi. ❤️Their food really satisfied our japanese cravings and their conveyor belt delivery is also amazing. We bought Kumori's cheese tart and Hanjuku cheese. No pics for the cheese tart 'coz we ate it all though.

Believe it or not, it's our first at Genki Sushi and we were satisfied. 😋 Except for the fried stuff maybe.. surprisingly hard unlike usual tempura 🤷🏻‍♀️ Prices are not at all cheap, a single Hana Salmon is $4.20 but it came with 3 slices of salmon sashimi and it's really nicer to have just 1 instead of stuffing 3, not having enough tummy space to try other yummies, we find ourselves accepting the price tag in the end... The rice portion is smaller than other places we'd been to which we prefer and the ratio to the fish (or whatever 料) is just nice. I especially like the salmon trio.. 🤤 Mr. Cheekie is happy with everything except, again, the 🍤 . #CheekieChompChomp #GenkiSushi #MrAndMrsCheekies (at Genki) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_7Y4-pcJk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
