We went to this restaurant based on the good reviews and had a decent experience. The restaurant has a Japanese vibe (we lived in Tokyo so can relate), they have cooking station and tables next to it. Extensive drinks menu with choice of lots of different sake and Japanese drinks (amongst usual beers, wines and cocktails). I was happy to see good Japanese whiskeys (Yamazaki, Hibiki etc) also. The chicken yakitori was excellent (and was the miso flavoured one- slightly more sweet if that's your thing). Chicken gyoza is also great- the ponzu sauce with it is meh so I had that with chilli oil instead. My ramen was really good (the shoyu tonkatsu one), and flavour was enhanced by chilli oil+ pepper powder. We didn't stay for dessert but were happy with the food, portion size and ambience overall. Wouldn't say it's the best Japanese restaurant, I've been to better ones in Amstelveen. But this was pretty good and nearby.

After a long block down period, yesterday was the first time for I and my hubby to go out for a diner outside, and we decided to give us the first time to our most favorite Japanese restaurant--SENPACHI, we ordered a table in the terras at 16:00, we ordered the dishes that we often order there, as usual, chicken nanban. tori karaage and yakitori are still nice as usual, however we are not satisfied with buta kimchi(fried kimchi and sliced pork meat)--the last dish we ordered, its very disappointed indeed, and its cost 14.50euro, its not called buta kimchi, it should be called tamago fry--egg in Japanese romaji in fact, there is very few buta inside, we counted there were only 3 slice buta inside, and very little kimchi as well, 80% are fried tamago--fried eggs, とてもがっかりし, my hubby comforted me, now its still covid 19 period, its very hard to survive for a restaurant, let it be, but it made me feel very sad, I didn't expect that they use this kind of foods performance to fool the customers. I know its not easy for any horeca service companies right now, but I don't want to spend 14.50euro just to eat some fried eggs, right? PS:since its still virus period, the restaurant can not serve lots of foods that they used to offer, thus you have less choices on both of drinks and foods,残念です.

Would not recommand this place. It's specialised in yakitori ( skewers) but they were quite dissappointing. For the price you pay (average4€ for one skewer) you expect nice quality and well seasoned skewer. We tried the A5 wagyu tataki, sauce was nice but we didn't like the way they cooked it, didn't seem much like a good wagyu. Unagi was good but there was quite many bones. Zucchini was well seasoned and the beef tongue little too salty. The chicken one was very average didn't taste much the charcoil taste that you find like in japan. The worst were tsukune and the porc belly. Tsukune was falling of the skewers because there was almost no meat inside looked like only had daikon radish and flour. Only the shiso leaf was good inside. Porc belly was super salty and dry completely overcooked. We stopped the dinner there as it was lame and we already had to pay around 64€ for 9 skewers and 4 slices of wagyu.

Wow ich hatte schon lange nicht mehr so eine schlechte Erfahrung in einem Restaurant gemacht. Da wir erst frisch aus Japan zurück sind und das japanische Essen vermissten, haben wir leider der den Bewertungen für dieses Restaurant vertraut und sogar einen Tisch gebucht. Der Buchungsprozess ist insofern irreführend und komisch, dass er a) einen Tisch zusichern will für 1,5 h, obwohl das Geschäft schon 22 Uhr schließt und b) eine Tischgebühr pro Person in Höhe von 15€ erhebt. Das sichert den Betreiber davor ab, finanziellen Schaden zu erleiden, wenn man einfach nicht auftaucht. Wir kamen kurz vor der vereinbarten Zeit, nachdem unser Tisch um 15 min nach hinten verschoben wurde (wir hatten also insgesamt noch 45min ab Tischzuweisung bis zum Ladenschluss, was wir dann erst IM Geschäft erfuhren durften). Wir saßen 20 min wie bestellt und nicht abgeholt herum und haben uns dann einfach das Menü von der Damen am Nebentisch ausgeliehen. Selbst vorm Menü sitzend wurden wir weiterhin nicht bedient. Irgendwann musste ich dann die Kellnerin rufen mit den Worten: "Dürfen wir bestellen?". Ich darf anmerken, dass der Tisch nach uns und ohne Reservierung in der Zwischenzeit Getränke und die ersten Vorspeisen erhielt. Dieses Serviceverhalten zog sich am ganzen Abend durch wie ein roter Faden. Als Vorspeise gab es Gemüsetempura für 15,20 €. Für 5 Ministückchen Gemüse, die z.T. aus lokalem Gemüse hergestellt wurde, ist das ein sehr happiger Preis. Wir haben verschiedene Grillspieße bestellt, die nicht in einem Gang kamen, sondern immer nur 3 Spieße auf einmal. Das Fleisch war teilweise verkohlt und ungewürzt. Die Shiitakepilze waren der größte Witz. Ein Foto habe ich euch netterweise beigefügt. Last Order wurde allen Tischen außer unserem mitgeteilt, so dass wir erbarmt worden sind und als aller letztes noch ein Hauptgericht bekamen. Finger weg von Tonkotsu Ramen, da das Fleisch und Ei totgeeart wurde und die Brühe nur salzig aber keine geschmackliche Tiefe bietet. Ich habe die Ramen nur ein wenig probiert und die ganze Schüssel so zurückgehen lassen. Das Chicken Nanban wurde zum Ladenschluss in die bereits kalte Fritteuse geworfen, weshalb das Huhn komplett vollgesogen war mit Fett und auch nicht knusprig werden konnte. Insgesamt eine enttäuschende Erfahrung und für das Geld kann man anderswo besser essen gehen. Leider muss ich hier ein Stern geben.

Used to be my fav, but not anymore. Too bad. I always bring friends and family who visit Amsterdam there. But today’s dinner was just so so ( compared to before ). It was never cheap, but please at least keep the quality / quantity? The price has increased insanely. Only take the sashimi as an example ( left 25 euros before , right 40 euros now ) size is way smaller ( actual food is even smaller than the pic )and there is only one schrimp? On top of that, the service was just not welcoming, the waitress was not welcoming and also not attentive ( we tried at least 3-4 times to get her attention 😂) Anyways, it’s really sad and bad the same time. Used to be my # 1 Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam and we go frequently in past 3-4 years. :(

Friends call me "1-Star Michael" because my reviews are always honest and not sugar coating if some things are wrong. Well here is one of my rare 4-star reviews. Perfect, honest, authentic food, great service at a busy evening - Recommended to place a reservation. I spend quite some time in Japan and was recently at avery good Yakitori BBQ in Tokyo that used Binchotan-coal and as all Japanese Operations they ran it with passion and dedication to please the customer - Same thing here as well. Definitely will comeback with friends to share this great find. Arrigatou-gozaimashita. If you want to know why not 5-stars !? Well my philosophy is that you should never stop improving even if you are great.
