Sen Of Japan
Review
About
Sen of Japan is a modern Japanese restaurant and bar, serving up a mouthwatering medley of traditional Japanese cuisine from donburi, sashimi, wagyu steaks and much more with contemporary flavours and techniques, crafted with the finest ingredients. The meaning of ‘Sen’ in Japanese is fresh, we believe true quality is defined by the source of the ingredients – ‘to be fresh’. The menu includes dishes designed by Nakano Hiromi, former head chef of NOBU at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. The cosy dining space is accompanied by a spectacular view of the Marina Bay waterfront. Make a reservation today to experience our unique food and atmosphere.

This is one of my favourite places to bring my friends for a casual catch up. Very good food at decent prices for the portions. Aburi don & mini wagyu don was fresh and tender. We absolutely loved it.
Service is always top notch and I like it when they make an effort to remember regulars despite it being a casual dining spot. I was there for a birthday dinner with my childhood friend and they served us a mini birthday cake even though I forgot about it after I reserved.
It’s service like that from Feng & Redi which makes me want to go back again and again. Bringing all my friends and family for an enjoyable meal with personable service

We booked this restaurant to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. The food was amazing. Everything we ate was delicious. Even the fussy 17 year old loved the food and to top it off, we were surprised with a slice of birthday cheesecake complete with candle. It was a lovely gesture and very delicious! A great dinner and memory for us all. Our many thanks to the team at Sen.

I was here with my hubby for our Wedding anniversary dinner. Sen of Japan is by far the best Japanese restaurant in Singapore which we frequented the most. We are always greeted by their friendly staff. Especially Color. She always has the best recommendation for us that suit our tatse. She will make an effort to understand our taste and that make us feel appreciated.
We especially love the udon here. I love their cold udon as the udon is very springy. My hubby and daughter love their hot udon.
Their sashimi, Carpaccio, carbless maki, pizza are definitely a “Must” order items when we are here at Sen of Japan.
Overall we feel very comfortable and happy dining in Sen of Japan. Highly recommended!

Dining here was a memorable experience. This is definitely one of the go to spots for Japanese food in the Marina Bay Area. The food exceeded my expectations. The sashimi was amazing. The fish was extra fresh. The drinks were a bit pricey but they’re well worth it to partake with the food. What stood out was their exceptional service, with a special mention to Ellie, one of their staff who was extra hospitable and explained their dishes thoroughly and who made us feel cozy and comfortable in dining there.

This was my first time at Sen of Japan at Marina Bay Sands. I have read many reviews and ran past it numerous times.
The Sashimi Salad was good. The sashimi and greens werevery fresh and the garlic olive oil dressing was very refreshing. Comes with slices of crispy lotus roots too.
Their signature Oishii Maki had a wonderful combination of chopped blue fun tuna belly, ikura, uni, negi.
In addition, their Tempura Moriawase was crispy and fresh but not the best that i have tasted (especially at this price) 😅
The Black Cod Soy was cooked just nice. While the skin was crispy and grilled to perfection, the cod meat was soft and slides off nicely.
Helmed by local chefs and service crew, the food was overall good and the staff were very helpful and patient, not pushy at all. I was fortunate to get a seat as I came off peak hours, in the late afternoon.
If you want a better deal, come on weekdays for their lunch set but you better book in advance.

My family celebrated my 26th anniversary with Sen of Japan on 2 Dec. Kelvin and his team impressed my family with his recommendation on the varieties of food they provided. The service was good and the food is so delicious and unforgettable . My wife and I have been thinking of the food after days from our visit. Strongly recommend Sen of Japan for your special event and do look for Kelvin and his team to recommend the wonderful food to complete the celebration. Best Japanese restaurant in town.

Our first visit to Sen of Japan on a Thursday evening 03/08/2023. Enjoyed the food very much. Sashimi was very fresh, cooked item taste good as well. Staff were attentive and friendly especially Ivy, very patient with explanation despite the busy crowd. Thank you all.

Booked this place last minute for Birthday celebration due to sushi craving, managed to only secure counter seats (best thing ever) - Mr Fong the sushi chef is very knowledgable and chatty with our short encounter and recommended various different sushi to us. Quality of food is great, the conversation was great.
To top things off - they gave us a complimentary dessert to celebrate birthday !
Thank you Chef Fong and team!

It was our anniversary but my wife was not fully vaccinated. They allowed us to take the food away and packeted it up nicely and gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. The food was really good even though we traveled home with it. Would highly recommend

Sen of Japan like most of the restaurants here at MBS are on the pricey side.. the chirashi premium we had was priced at $89, while some of the other smaller mains averaged around $30-$40. The chirashi and rolls we had were quite fresh though, and the staff were quite friendly and provided prompt service. The decor is quite functional and sparse though, but you can see the marina bay from the restaurant.

Everything we ordered were outstanding. The sashimi (14 pieces for $98) was extremely fresh with some literally melt in the mouth. I wasn’t exaggerating. The uni pasta ($38) infused with truffles was da bomb.
The missing star is due to the ambience which in my view is lacking.

Good location by the bay. They have a complete menu of sashimi, sushi, tempura and other dishes. Quite expensive , maybe expected due to location. The sashimi platter with 14 pcs is $100

Excellent foods with wonderful service . Sashimi was fresh with good cut. Omi wagyu beef melts in the mouth. Disappointed frozen prawn was used for the Ebi Tempura , feedback to the staff and they apologised and immediately canx the order. Looking forward to returning soon to try the rest of the menu !
