Senoji 885 Albany Highway, East Victoria Park, Western Australia 6101

"So, my wife made a booking at 2pm for 4 people at 6pm on the same day (for her and I, and our daughters). We walk in and I give my wife's name for the booking and are immediately lead to a table. Suddeny, what I can only assume is the chef or owner, or both, comes charging up to our table demanding to know if my name is Mark. Answer is no and he starts accusing us of not having a booking and that this table is set up for someone else. We tell him I had told the staff the name of the booking and that we were directed here. Now he starts challenging our booking instead. My wife tells him the site she used and he then begins rambling about how they don't take bookings from that site after 5.30 (because we obviously know this fact...). My wife shows him the booking made at 2pm, not 5.31pm. Without a word of apology for his rude and aggressive behaviour he tells us we can move to another table...we decided to leave at that point instead. We didn't want to spend a cent there and with our eldest now in tears because she was so excited to go out for Japanese, I didnt want to lose my temper and make the night out any worse. Happy ending thought, we went up the road to Omuya and couldn't have been happier with the service an,d food. If you think Senoji, book at Omuya instead."

"Words cant even describe how much i love this place!!! It’s seriously so underrated, it’s never packed which is shocking considering how good the food is plus the waitresses were so friendly!! Honestly a hidden gem"

"The restaurant has some truly delicious food, with a wide variety of dishes that are sure to please any Japanese cuisine lover portion size was a bit small I ordered the pork fillet curry but only the pork came . However, I must say that the service was somewhat disappointing. While the waitstaff were polite and attentive."

"Agreed with Eric’s comment below – definitely purely for food and culture enthusiast only! My partner and I are so so glad we found this little hidden gem and met the loveliest man behind it all – who has been there for 20+ years! Yuki (Head chef) puts his pride and soul into making these dishes as authentic and simple as possible – identical to the taste you would find in Japan. I have never enjoyed such simple tastings in Japanese food in Perth, unlike at Senoji. Hands down J Note: The chef solely works alone; please be mindful of the chef, and expect to wait – Yuki does an amazing job at managing, preparing the meals and serving. There were 3 tables and we did not wait all that long – we were happy to. Senoji has been the first Japanese Restaurant we have been to that has kept it simple with no fusion – and we have tried all the Japanese Restaurants North to South of the river of WA The food was delicious, authentic and the chef was very kind - remember not to shake his right hand too hard though, he has an injury! Thank you Chef. We will see you again soon."

"Very authentic Japanese cuisine and some exceeded expectations by a lot!! Though not all food was extraordinary, the gyoza was pretty average. Food was overall great but jazz music really gave me anxiety when I’m having sushi.. and the scent could improve it smells like soggy wood upon entrance which takes away a bit of appetite. Price was on the higher side but quite worth it for the quality of food. I am surprised that I only came to discover this place after years and years of eating at Vic park every day.. but I will be back, they got the sake tastings that we wanna try next time!"
