Sen-ryo, the popular upscale branch of Genki Sushi, is always crowded. Our typical wait for a table/counter space for two is usually 20-30 minutes unless you're there very early (tonight, being a holiday, was an exception and we had a very long wait). But, once seated, the quality and price is reasonable for a mass-market "kaiten' sushi outlet.Let me preface this by saying, Sen-Ryo will not be confused with high-end Sushi like Sushi Hiro, Matsushima, Imamura or Kenjo, but for $200 per head, it
Let me preface this by saying, Sen-Ryo will not be confused with high-end Sushi like Sushi Hiro, Matsushima, Imamura or Kenjo, but for $200 per head, its a good option for price-conscious diners.
On this night, the fish quality was first-rate. Cold winter waters in the north pacific bring fatty, tasty fish. Both the chu-toro, and o-toro was especially nice tonight. My one gripe being the portion size. The thickness was ok, but the size of the nigiri overall was a tad on the small side. The price, at $35-$50 per piece is among the most expensive individual items on the menu.
I'd highly recommend the 'premium yellowtail', which, at around 26 was fatty and flavorful, as was the Salmon sushi (never found at sushi shops in Japan yet incredibly popular in Hong Kong).
The Uni from Hokkaido was sweet with a softy, pillowy texture. The cheaper version (I assume from Korea or perhaps Canada), was less so on this night. I suspect it was a bit old and had that 'chemical' taste uni gets when its past its prime.
One of my favorites at Sen-Ryo is their ebi-furai (海老フライ) maki. Essentially a fried prawn wrapped in a sushi roll with vegetable, its crunchy and delightful. Although it was be found on the rotating conveyor belt, I highly recommend ordering it fresh from the wait-staff and made to order so the prawn is warn when you bite into it.
The eel roll is another filling, yet very tasty roll along with the stand-by California Roll.
One roll I would suggest staying away from is the spicy tuna roll. On this night, you could barely located any tuna in the roll. This was ordered towards the end of our meal and we were already pretty full so we didn't bother sending it back.
All in all however, Sen-Ryo is a good choice for some basic, reasonably priced sushi when at IFC.
