Well, it's not long ago since my last trip to Sushi Sen and now here it is japanese restaurant too, but this time, it's around Serpong. So, last week i just want to catch a coffee at Turning Point and suddenly there's a huge sign of congratulation flower board new in front of this place that i didn't familiar with before; so it must be new! At first we want to try to eat at this place but then, they say because it's still in a soft opening so they open from 5 p.m. Since i'm really curious about this place, just last saturday, i'm back again to eat at this place. Because it's no longer grand opening and they open from 11 a.m. Let's say that i'm really thrilled to find out there's japanese restaurant around serpong! Because here, you can't find that much japanese restaurant going around. Why? I still don't know, but here it is! This place is called Torigen. Torigen is owned by Altima Group, it's in one hand with Nanny's Pavilon, Wild Grass, and many more. Torigen located at Gading Serpong, in the shop house across Rumah Kayu Restaurant.



It's not really big as i expected. The first floor only provide 2 seat like this photo. And there's a bar too. One thing that it's really cool is, the chef cook in front of you. So you can watch the chef cook while you're waiting for your food.


I prefer the seated on the second floor, because it's more comfy and more a family type of seated. However, there's no sunlight as i need to take a photo of the food. But in the second floor, there's a place near the window but it's for the smoking room. I'm okay with the smoking room thing, but the waitress say that because there's only two people, he suggest just to eat on the first floor. Because on the smoking room thing they only have a 4 seated table and 8 seated table. But, I think i CAN eat wherever i want, but i just don't want to argue that much since i'm a little bit hungry. Beside, it's kinda fun seated on the bar because yes, you can see the chef cook in front of you LIVE! But, it's still such a bummer tho. Okay moving on!

So apparently everything, by i mean EVERYTHING are all really tempting! They have choices of Sushi, Udon, Don, Teishoku, Japanese Steak, and many more. So many choices, i know right? Enough talking let's just move on to the food!


Salmon Crispy Roll: IDR 55k
I kinda feels, this one is super decent. I just didn't feel about this sushi. It's great sushi, but i think something is missing. I don't like the rice that they use, it's like a usual rice. The salmon is great, but again, it feels really decent.




Aburi Salmon: IDR 35k
Again, i don't really feel this sushi as well. It's great but it feels really decent. I don't know, i think they are kinda slightly overcook, so it just crumble apart when you eat the salmon while i kinda expecting it's half raw.



Tamago Maki: IDR 29k



Salmon Steak: IDR 79k
(Grilled Salmon with Japanese Original Sauce)
I really love this salmon steak! It's not overcook, the sauce is great too. Geez, i'm having to much salmon in this meal, lol.




Hirekatsu Teishoku: IDR 85k
(Japanese set meal with fried tenderloin steak)
It's say in the menu that this is Chef Recommendation, so i expect this must be good! And, turns out, IT IS! The fried tenderloin omg, i could you not! So crispy yet so soft. I don't feel rubbery at all! The meat is really soft it's cut in just one bite. In this set meal, you get Miso soup, salad, and pickled radish. The miso soup is really miss the taste of the miso itself, i kinda expected more. But i just really appreciate the salad. Why? Because they just took care of the detail, like you have  your own sauce for the salad. I've never ever go to japanese restaurant where you can get salad sauce on the set meal, except if you order salad. And moreover, i'm such a salad lover! So this one is a thumbs up set meal! Recommended!

My two main favorite dishes in one picture <3

I will definitely go back to this place to eat the other Teishoku Meal. And i really curious for the Garlic Mayo Steak, geez! I'm drooling right now. But i don't think i'll order the sushi. I think we can relate, when you eat sushi in one place and it's really great, you just have a high expectation of the other sushi place. That's what i feel when i eat at this place. Thank you for reading!

Is it only me or everyone are excited as much as i do because i find out another newly sushi place around PIK! Actually, there's a sushi place at PIK but unfortunately they close because they don't make a quite good selling. It's not really surprising to see if there's always new place and closed place at PIK. So to have this sushi place at PIK is such an excitement for me! So Sushi Sen is lately been catching my sight because it's a sushi place; my fave food ever! Sushi Sen located at PIK, Jakarta Utara, more to be exact beside BC'S Cone. You can really miss it from your sight because the wood exterior of Sushi sen is really different than the others.


Can you see the door that have something black beside of it? It's a door, but the black thing is to open the door. Just press it and the door will be open by itself. I can already feel the fancy of this place! More over when my friend go to the bathroom of theirs, when you open the door, the closet will automaticly open up. It feels like i'm going back to japan again, when all of the things is really easy and full of technology!


Even this place is still new, my prediction about this place was right. It was fully packed! But i'm not expecting that there will be waiting list for me to eat at this place., but i don't really mind since i already love this place! It's not really big but spacious enough for you to sit and enjoy your food.





 To make you more 'feel' like in japan, they have all this wood interior. I really feel so welcome and so comfy to sit here for longer time. Btw, they open from 11 a.m - 1.45 p.m and then open again from 5.30 p.m - 10.00 p.m. I've once go to this place around 2.30 p.m and it's close. Silly me didn't check it first. But really, what restaurant could have two shift time opening? I definitely learn my lesson!

Sashimi Sushi:



Salmon: IDR 16k/ each


Salmon Aburi: IDR 17k/ each



Tuna: IDR 16k/ each




Tamago: IDR 12k/ each





Geez, I'm so weak when it comes to Sashimi like this. They don't smell fishy or anything like that. They're so fresh and really in a good condition! Really tasty. I don't have nothing to complain! Hands down!

Spicy Salmon Hand Roll: IDR 25k
This one is the bomb! It's really great. Back again, nothing to complain about the salmon. It's really fresh and nothing smells weird or fishy.



Dragon Fushion Roll: IDR 148k
From looking at the price, i clearly know that this may cost you a fortune. But, it's really great, taste amazing. But back again for this price, this is clearly an expensive one. In other sushi places, i've taste the same and it cost down below from this one. I'm not saying it's not good, this is really good. But, i just confused like where's the part that make this sushi really expensive? I've got nothing to complain except the price.





Spider Fushion Roll: IDR 95k
I don't know, when it comes to sushi, i've got nothing to complain. The portion is quite generous and it's really flavorful. But again, it may kinda looks a little expensive. But once you eat it, you clearly know why it cost that much!






Saikoro Beef Lunch Set: IDR 88k
In here, you'll get the beef, steamed rice, miso soup, salad, fruits (watermelons), and something like egg, it's like tofu egg. What can i tell you? They're not disappointing and the beef is really good. Really tender and juicy, moreover the garlic butter sauce really fit one to another. HANDS DOWN! and it's only for 88k, really affordable to have a good food like this!






Salmon Skin: IDR 38k
Yup another salmon thing! I just can never get bored of eating salmon. Beside it's really tasty, it's rich of many vitamin. Btw, salmon skin will never disappoint anyone. Level of crunchiness is okay and taste okay too.




Like what i said, i'm super excited to know Sushi place open near my place! This foods are just calling me to go here more and more. I will DEFINITELY go back for another dish and another sushi. But price wise, it will cost you more than the general sushi place. Thank you for reading, have a good day everyone!
