Diners can enjoy dishes such as salmon carpaccio and loaded KPOP fries, signature rolls such as the Machu Picchu roll with Senso’s special OMG sauce, and the Bengali roll featuring house tikka masala sauce.

The menu also pays tribute to Lee’s experience on “Survivor Fiji” [the 14th season of the US TV channel CBS’s competitive reality show] with the Ravu Roll and the Survivor’s Milk cocktail.

Senso CEO Mookie Lee stated: “With Senso, I saw an opportunity to fill a void in the south suburbs and bring an approachable modern sushi restaurant experience everyone will enjoy.”. 

To complement its eclectic menu, Senso offers a full liquor bar and its cocktails provide patrons with a metropolitan experience.

Guests will soon be able to access the outdoor ambience on a 70-seat patio overlooking Old Plank Trail, set to open in the summer of 2025.
