Invited Review: Senjyu, e@Curve (formerly known as Cineleisure Damansara)
Thanks to Frankie of Senjyu for invitation to sample some of the best Senjyu has to offer. We were generously fed and go home satisfied 🙂 I was hesistant of eating japanese food as the recent earthquake/tsumani in Japan, which has caused some radiation concern on food from Japan (the tsunami caused a nuclear reactor to be leaking radioactive water etc) Nonetheless, much relieved after we were told none of Senjyu food is imported from Japan…
Above is Sushi Moriawase (2 pax) RM38, assortment of raw salmon, tuna, butterfish, cuttlefish and surf clam, fresh and thickly sliced
Lobster salad and fresh vege served with house ponzu dressing, RM22
One of their seafood specials – River eel served on hot plate, RM22, loved this, it is made of fresh live eel with its natural sweetness, yummy~
Carpaccio Moriawase, RM22, perhaps this is a fusion of french/Italian with japanese/chinese(with thin ginger sliver on the fish). The sauce should be poured on to the fish from right to left, in the sequence of soy sauce, sesame, spicy chili oil, sake and ponzu sauce. I am just okay with this as not too fond of fusion
Trio oyster, RM45, fresh live oyster sashimi, grilled oyster with cod fish roe and simmered oyster with broth. My favourite being the fresh oyster sashimi, it is sweet without being slimy, yum~ the cod fish roe mayo topping is also delicious too.
Live tiger prawn sashimi, from Vietnam, RM16, firm and fresh tasting
Foie gras and oyster maki, RM28, 2 pieces are topped with oyster, while the other 2 are topped with foie gras
Tempura Moriawase, RM38, find it a tad oily and prawn flesh a bit floury.
Wagyu Saikoro Steak, RM68. This a marble score 6 beef from Australia. Marble score ranging from 1 to 12 with 12 being the best having the best fat distribution which makes it having the melt-in-the-mouth feel.
Love their dessert, the left is coffee jelly topped with vanilla ice cream(RM8), to the right is japanese plum wine jelly with grape (RM10)
Some of their seafood specials: tiger prawn sashimi, clam in miso soup, river eel served on hot plate, japanese escargot sauteed in garlic butter, lobster grilled with cod fish roe, clam grilled with cheese and cod fish roe.
They also have omakase menu with pricing of about RM120 per pax
their dessert menu
Thanks to Frankie and Lucas(head chef in Senjyu) for their hospitality and delicious food.

🙂 Having Omakase printed on a menu is so wrong. So un-omakase, isn’t it? The entire premise of omakase should be that it is left to the chef to create a surprise based on the customers likes and dislikes. Thanks for the post. The Japanese food scene in Malaysia had advanced by leaps and bounds since 10 years ago. 🙂 Ben
the sashimi is very thick….
must go have a try^^
thanks for the sharing:)
Yes,suppost omakase is the chef to create a surprise based on the customer. But now, I feel better have a menu coz we have do know the item is come from which country and we can know what we can eat at the day. Isn’t it? I try before Senjyu at e@curve, it is very present and nice food!!!Yummy!!…
Senjyu…..Good service, good enviroment and good food!!!…
