Sen Ryo

I have passed by Sen-ryo numerous times while at Suntec City, and I couldn’t help but notice its beautifully designed exterior. With its sleek, elegant look, it gives off the impression of an upscale, fine-dining Japanese restaurant, the kind that immediately draws your attention and invites curiosity.

Sen Ryo's Menu

Stepping inside, the atmosphere did not disappoint. The clean, modern interior, paired with a warmly lit sushi counter and neatly arranged bar seating, reinforces the feeling of refined sophistication.

The menu at Sen-ryo is extensive, offering a wide variety of Japanese dishes, from delicate sushi and fresh sashimi to crispy tempura, smoky yakitori, and more. Known for its commitment to quality, Sen-ryo sources its seafood directly from various regions across Japan, ensuring freshness in every bite.

Environment

Upon being seated, we were warmly welcomed with refillable green tea, a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the meal.

We began with a comforting chawanmushi, a delicate, steamed egg custard with a silky, wobbly texture. Topped with a succulent prawn and thinly sliced mushrooms, it was light yet flavorful, the perfect appetizer to ease us into the sushi courses that followed.

Chawanmushi - $5.50

This eye-catching roll is generously coated in roasted sesame seeds, giving it a nutty crunch with every bite. Inside, it’s packed with crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and grilled eel, all brought together by a rich, savory sauce. A vibrant topping of orange egg roe adds a burst of flavor and color, making this maki as delightful to look at as it is to eat.

Dragon Maki - $4.80

Sen-ryo’s Deluxe Sushi Platter is a masterfully curated selection of Japan’s finest cuts. This elegant assortment features sweet aka ebi (red shrimp), buttery hotate (scallop), rich and indulgent chutoro (medium fatty tuna), lean akami (tuna loin), silky salmon, and tender tako (octopus). Each slice is served at its peak freshness, highlighting the natural flavors and textures of premium sashimi.

Sen Ryo Deluxe Sushi Platter - $68

We ended the meal on a sweet and satisfying note with a beautifully plated Black Sesame Ice Cream in Mochi Crisp. The ice cream was rich and nutty, with the deep, earthy flavor of roasted black sesame shining through. It was served atop a delicate mochi crisp shell, paired with chewy shiratama dango (rice flour dumplings) and a generous spoonful of sweet red bean paste. A well-balanced dessert,  not overly sweet, but indulgent in its own subtle way. A lovely finale to a well-executed Japanese meal.

Black Sesame Ice Cream in Mochi Crisp - $5.80

We also enjoyed the Matcha Mochi Ice Cream, a delightful treat where the soft, chewy mochi acts as a delicate blanket, wrapping around a smooth scoop of earthy matcha ice cream. The contrast between the pillowy mochi and the creamy, slightly bitter green tea center created a harmonious balance of texture and flavor, a simple yet elegant dessert that matcha lovers will surely appreciate.

Matcha Mochi Ice-Cream - $5.80

Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience at Sen-ryo. From the refined ambiance to the well-executed dishes, everything felt thoughtfully curated. Judging from the positive reviews, their weekday lunch menu seems like a great value too. If I get the chance, I would love to return and give that a try next time.

The American Ginseng Black Chicken Soup with Aged Black Garlic was my personal favourite out of the three Souper Tang soups. The broth was rich and nourishing, carrying a deep herbal aroma with a gentle sweetness from the aged black garlic. The black chicken was tender and infused with the earthy, comforting flavours of the soup, perfect for a soul-warming treat.

The Mountain Pepper Pork Tripe Soup was a tad peppery for me, but for those who are fans of peppery soup bases, this would definitely hit the spot. The broth was robust and hearty, perfect for pepper lovers.

Downstairs (Suntec City)

 A step into Downstairs in Suntec City had kind of transported me back into my childhood packed full of old HDB memories where we get to see the chest of conventional one-way letter boxes and the checkered stone table. What a nostalgic setting! I guess this is slowly going into history of Singapore.

Good Memories of old HDB 

The item that caught my attention is none other than this staple dish from the Taiwanese Menu, Lu Rou Fan AKA Braised Pork Rice. I'm pairing my meal with a cup of tea. 

The Braised Pork Rice was generously filled with even cuts of braised pork belly in a good ratio of lean meat and fats. The dish was straight forward, comprising just 3 items in the bowl, namely the preserved vegetables, egg and the braised pork belly.

Braised Pork Rice & Tea - $7.30 + $1.30

The Lava Egg was outstanding with runny egg yolk.

The star of the item in the bowl is none other than this well-braised pork. It was soft in texture with good hints of herbal and braised sauce had accentuated the meat. The braised sauce had given a good pairing to the bowl of white rice. 

Braised Pork

While the place still brings back a lot of good memories, I don't mind visiting again for other dishes.

 While we thought this looks like the facade of the Traditional Chinese Medical Hall but as soon as the sliding door slides open. Everything behind this TCM Hall started to unveil.

Traditional Chinese Medical Hall

We get to walk through a high ceiling and traditional passageway decorated with lanterns and some Chinese quotes by the side of the pillar.

Passage Way

Perhaps those who had scrolled through the feeds on social media would have already known about such hip dining places with inconspicuous entrances. After all, the concept is kind of similar to Mama Diam, a popular speakeasy bar as all are helmed by Sebestian Ang.

Passage Way

The dining environment looked classy under the shades of lights and reflective decorations.

Interior

A chef's recommendation. The Kueh Pie Tee Cups were filled with turmeric chicken, onion sambal and topped with pandan coconut foam, finished off by some ikan billis sprinkling. The bed of Mung beans cannot be eaten as they are just for decoration purposes only.

Nasi Lemak Kueh Pie Tee - $15

Giam Sng Tee Highball is a Sour Plum Infused Vodka, pink guava, lime, soda. 

Blue Plum was refreshing made up of Soursop Juice, Lime Juice and Blue Pea Water.

These flounder nuggets were served in a brown paper bag and the strong Dang Gui Spiced smell lingered in the air when it was served. However, the spice diffused quickly as soon as we opened the bag. After all, these golden brown nuggets bites were soft in their coating and good for bar bites.

Dang Gui Spiced Shaker Fish Bites - $16

This is one of the mains recommended by the Chef. The Australian Wagyu was served in Medium doneness as requested by us with Homemade Mash, Broccolini and White Pepper Cream Sauce. The beef was charred on the outside and definitely juicy.
