Senfuku Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We came in and got our orders taken and we waited for our food. In the meantime we got out drinks. A young boy came in right after us and ordered sushi. Ten minutes later (still no food) a group of 3 people came in right after and they were greeted and quickly given a plate of ginger and wasabi each (which we didn't get at all) while they were placing their order. I turned left and to my surprise the young boy also had a plate of wasabi and ginger. I find it very insulting that an establishment would play favorites or even worse discriminate against customers. I don't take this lightly as discrimination is a problem in today's society. The common denominator for these other customers was that they were all white. I don't know what to think of this place other than caution anyone who is of a different color to proceed at your own risk. I ended up paying for my lemonade and leaving. I will not spend my hard earned money on a business that plays favorites or discriminates. For the record, the place was not busy nor were they short staffed. We were in plain view of everyone so there's no excuse for this...

I really like their food, service was pretty fast. What really made me like them was the fact that they catered to my wife's need even though they didn't have to. She asked about a sauce she got from a different Japanese restaurant and they told her they didn't have it. However one of the chef asked her what was in it, she told him and he was nice enough to make it on the spot. I'm a big sushi fan and the sushi was really good. This restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, but it is expected in California. I love the sushi bar they have, it sort of brings a bit of authentic Japanese feeling to it. In other words, it makes you feel like your actual in Japan. I also found out this restaurant has been doing business for 30 years and I can see why they have stayed in business for so long. The servers are friendly and so are the sushi chef. This rating is coming with a high recommendation, not a full 5 star but surely worth checking out...

There's only two sushi places I know of in Central San Pedro, this and Sushi 21. The difference comes down to the fish. The salmon and tuna here are different than the salmon and tuna in Sushi 21 and it tastes 100% better at Senfuku. After eating at these places consecutively I found out through internet research that the albacore and tuna that I liked actually contain higher levels of mercury because tuna (white tuna aka albacore, bluefin, yellowtail, etc.) eat other fish and so have more mercury stored in their bodies compared to say sardines. Anyway, just something to think about when you get sick after eating here for five...
