    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 :-)

    Great food, service was a little slow as the patio was full during the lunch service and it looked like they only had a server or 2 working, so we didn’t get checked on often.

    Well this was a disaster of a visit. First, we had a reservation, but seems that was for naught as they seemed to have found a corner to put us in and even threw an extra chair at the end of the table when they realized there're five of us and the table was only for four. So our youngest sat in a chair that was in the middle of the walking aisle. Then it came to ordering our food. The menu is disastrous. You can't tell what's an appetizer, what's an entree, or what's a side. Everything just felt pretentious and haphazardly thrown on a "menu" for sheer effect rather then to help patrons. We picked some random items, and based on the prices thought three "appetizers" would be enough to share among us five (two adults, three children). Boy were we wrong. A $7 edamame, which looked like they just boiled and tossed some salt on was finished in about a minute by a 13yo kid. The k-pop fries were more kimchi then fries. We sound up ordering a few sushi rolls and for the prices charged, they were very meh. I've literally had better sushi from grocery stores SMH. All in all a very boring experience and the only thing that woke us up was the sticker shock of the bill. $300 with zero drinks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    We’ve been to Senso many times, and it’s always a treat to enjoy their fantastic atmosphere and outdoor patio. The food is delicious, sushi is consistently fresh, and the service is always great. A wonderful local spot in Frankfort to relax with drinks and small plates!

    We were ably to take advantage of the last warm day and sit on the beautiful patio. The inside was pretty, too, and we look forward to going there again and enjoying that space. Every staff member was polite, courteous and attentive. The food was excellent, fresh and plentiful with portions being generous and well worth the price, which was surprisingly reasonable for a higher-end sushi restaurant. We loved everything we ordered and were happily surprised by the off the menu dessert brought out for a birthday being celebrated. We highly recommend and will be back- there were so many enticing menu options we want to try in the future. This restaurant is a great addition to an already great downtown Frankfort!
