Had such a great time sampling the omakase menu at Senpai Ramen, Chatswood to celebrate our bday. Each dish was well presented and delectable. If I had to select, my top 3 fav was the chawanmushi followed by the inaniwa (cold udon) and the nigiri Kagoshima A5 wagyu sushi. Really enjoyed the happy hr drinks - the sake shots are delicious! Service was very efficient- cleared drinks and plates away so promptly, only to be provided with the next dish. Definitely very filling. Will love to be back to sample more dishes. Xo
