  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Where boozy cocktails flow to old-school beats, and a modern and rebellious take on Asian eats, serve up good times with mastery. Tucked away a stride from 17th Avenue's nightlife, our intimate and urban space welcomes you all night and late-night. Our little-but-loud menu puts a boldly flavourful, yet nourishing spin on Korean and Taiwanese bites - all starring local ingredients and the beloved bao bun. Pair it with best in the city sake list and our curated cocktails and bow down to the bao with your inner Sensei.

    Three couples got together for an early dinner, all attending for the first time at Sensei. It was a great experience. We ate through the Golden Hour menu enjoying every item. The food is very tasty and nicely spiced. The service was excellent. We received a tutorial on saki and enjoyed a bottle. Overall, a great time had by all.

    We got here for our anniversary. We were directed to hang our coat. The entire area was dark and dingy and when we asked for a new seating area, we were told that the area was cold as the heater wasn’t working there. We opted to seat there still to get a quiet location for our date. I proceeded to ask the hostess/ waitress why the environment was different from pictures and she responded rudely that ‘she was not the photographer’! Then I responded that instead of being sarcastic, she should look for a better area because we were already smelling like the food that was being prepared. We left a minute after in order not to ruin our night!

    Came in for a quick drink and a meal before an early Christmas concert and the team crushed it out for us. Get in before December 22 and try the KFC! Started with a sparkling sake that was delicious. (chef) came out and introduced himself. The whole experience was great

    The service was super friendly and very nice but the food was beyond terrible that it was sad to have wasted so much money on food we couldn’t eat. The drinks and Brussels sprouts were the only things we enjoyed and we ordered a bunch of stuff that had a terrible sauce with a very bad flavor that was basically in all the dishes we ordered. Very disaappibting

    Food was not appetizing. Drinks were 20$ each and the steak was ok but definitely not worth the price. Save yourself the disappointment.
