Sensei Sushi ♥ ♥ ♥

 

It took a while of driving back and forth Aguirre Street at 40 kph for us to finally spot Sensei Sushi.

Tip: Look for the well-lit korean mini mart and the equally bright Nuat Thai Massage. 
Sensei Sushi is the dim spot sandwiched in between. Lol. :P

The place is small and very basic

But I promise you there is nothing small and basic about the food.
Chef Bruce Ricketts is one Nobu Matsuhisa waiting to happen!

 

 

We all had the omakase and let the young and talented, albeit very shy and soft-spoken chef surprise us.

He came by our table to introduce each course in detail, but I had to take photos with my camera
for the blog, take photos again with my phone for instagram, talk to my friends, eat, drink, etc. etc... 
I was really very busy so forgive me if I wasn't able to take notes properly.
