Sen-ryo Greenhills menu
We were afraid of having to wait when we decided to dine at Senryo Greenhills because it was a Sunday. Based on experience, most Greenhills restaurants in New Mall get crowded pretty quickly, especially on a weekend.
Thankfully, we arrived just in time to be seated at an empty table before everything else got busy. The staff handed us the Senryo menu, and it wasn’t that hard to order after we browsed the pages.
Kanikama salad
As someone who loves salads, I wanted to order kanikama salad, but shrugged of the idea since I thought my company didn’t want it.
Turns out, they also wanted it. So, we ordered it last that it wasn’t served first. Nonetheless, the salad quickly flew off the plate, since the serving was quite small, and each piece of the greens were yummy.
Tamago roll
My son suddenly enjoyed eating Japanese egg roll, so he ordered a tamago roll today. He shoved each piece of egg roll into his mouth as fast as he could. So, the next time we go back to Japan, we can definitely go to a maki store and not worry about what he’ll eat.
California roll
Along with the tamago roll, the California roll came, and I was surprised to find a very generous tobiko coating on each roll. And I love how the rolls aren’t too “ricey,” meaning not that much rice inside.
Gyudon
Without even looking at the Senryo restaurant menu, my son already knew he’d be having gyudon for dinner. It’s one of his favorites next to chicken karaage.
The gyudon bowl might look small, but there’s actually a lot of rice inside — and if you’re hungry, you might just find yourself enjoying this simple bowl, with fried egg on top. For me, the beef topping wasn’t enough to finish the whole bowl of rice, so better to order a separate dish if you love protein, like us.
Chicken teriyaki
We seldom order chicken teriyaki, but when I saw it on the Senryo menu, I couldn’t resist trying it.
We were surprised when the plate arrived because the staff said it was good for sharing, and she really meant it. There was a generous amount of chicken thigh in this dish, that you can have it for sharing to about 4 people. Not only that, but each piece of chicken was coated perfectly with the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, perfect to pair with our chahan or even plain rice!
Chicken karaage
Something that can’t be forgotten when dining at a Japanese restaurant with a kid is chicken karaage. In almost all my Japanese restaurant review, I believe I have chicken karaage ordered for my kid.
Unless there’s none on the menu, it’ll surely be a staple on our order list.
And Senryo’s version surely not you should miss if you have a young child with you. The crunchy outer covering of the chicken thigh pieces is very delectable and when dipped in Japanese mayo, it can easily be anyone’s favorite!
Shrimp tempura (regular)
I like shrimp tempura when the shrimp they use aren’t fresh water shrimp. Senryo took their tempura seriously, only serving great tasting shrimp. Don’t forget to dip them in the tempura sauce for the best experience!
Pork chasu chahan (large)
I’m sure all Filipinos would agree if I say a meal can’t be complete without rice. So we ordered a large pork chasu chahan to fill in our hunger.
Lo and behold, the two to three servings of rice came out as four to five servings — but that differs in each of us because we’re not big rice eaters. I’m sure anyone can overeat this fried rice, because they really are good!
The fried rice had an ample amount of pork chashu bits — enough to fill you even if you didn’t order other dishes. But of course, no one goes to eat fried rice only, right?
Sen-ryo Greenhills reviews conclusion
The biggest question about whether we loved a restaurant is whether we’d want to come back again. And if you ask me if we’ll be back here at Senryo Japanese restaurant? The answer is definitely a big YES! Where else do you want us to try? Just add your comment and maybe we can go there over the weekend!
