This place is the most wonderful and consistent winner of all sushi, period. It was a freezing cold night, the service and the food was outstanding! Started off with the jumbo sashimi platter...Insanely fresh and delectable fish. Local fluke melted in my mouth and was accompanied by an "out of bounds" Oshinko side dish. Pickled pearl onions, red cabbage, cucumber, baby carrots..."shut the front door" scrumptious delights. Then was a chef's surprise "flamed toro" appetizer in like a ponzu type sauce sprinkled with scallions. For desert I had a spicy yellowtail and chive/scallion maki roll. I thanked the sushi chef "Toro" and dropped my business card in the fishbowl....Whalaahh, I won a "tasting menu dinner" which I am really looking forward to. 5 starts all the way. read more

I went to Sen last night with my family to make a total of four guests. We used to go all the time in the first five or so years they were open and we were excited for our return. Surprisingly (and delightedly) they offered us a separate "tasting menu" which looked great for all for of us! We are two carnivores and two vegans. The tasting menu is $28 a person and offers seven small courses or options. The salad came out first. Three of us ordered the Sen Salad as it comes with a creamy and amazing ginger salad dressing that you can't get unless you make it yourself. Yum-tastic! One of us got a black sea weed and soybean salad, which was also quite tasty an unlike any other sea weed I've ever seen. We had some pretty tasty food. Vegetable rolls covered in avocado (my favorite!), spicy tuna rolls, vegetarian and regular fish filled miso soup...sesame seared tofu and chicken yakitori.... brown rice... edamame... marinated burdock. Great. We got mostly the most basic food available for the $28 (with the exception of the black sea week [hijiki] which was $1 extra), and there were alot of other options that were more $3 to $4 extra per special order. The whole thing can really run up a tab if you're not careful. Still, we are grateful for the opportunity to try their quite extensive menu for a decent price. Everything we ordered was spot on. The host at the front was fantastic and I watched him work very hard, picking up the waiter's slack to bus tables, set tables and give us water as they got pretty busy for a Monday night after xmas. Then things got weird. Our waiter was inattentive at best. He disappeared for long periods of time and was impossible to flag down, let alone find. The host kept our water glasses full. At one point we asked our waiter for more hot tea which he was amenable to, and then disappeared. The host came over a minute later and filled our water glasses. We never did get that hot tea refill. When our meal was done and we had been sitting there quite a while (about 20 minutes), the host came over and cleared our table. Then some time later, our waiter came back and thanked us for coming and asked if he could get us anything. My father, of course, says no and so the waiter leaves and starts printing out our bill. We all saw this and I said, "Wait, don't we get ice cream with our meal?". Yes, we all saw it on the menu. Two of us won't eat it, but that's not the point! Two of us can have double as we paid for it! I walked over to our waiter since we could not get his attention and I asked him about the included desert. He says since we didn't order it with dinner (really?) then he is not to ask about it. Dumbfounded. Who orders desert at dinner time? Weird. So I told him it was included and we wanted it, thank you. We eventually had our ice cream, and it was wonderful. Green tea or vanilla are the options. I have to say that with a restaurant that charges as much as it does for food, for the policy to be don't ask don't tell that's pretty unprofessional. It was pretty frustrating for me as a veteran of the restaurant business for many many years, but I think it's more important for the masses to know so that they know what to ask for and order (!) when they visit :) So you have been forewarned. So if you're in the area, the food is great. Bring plenty of cash or make sure your credit card can take the hit. It's a fun treat. Just know that the waitstaff is not very knowledgeable or helpful, so you may have to fend for yourself a bit. Oh, and in other news (just fyi)... all cocktails are $12.50. Yikes. Anyway, have fun. read more

Mediocre is the best I can say for food and service. Expensive for what it is but that is a function of location. Their miso broth is actually quite bad which is the base for their ramen noodle soups. Avoid. read more

Expensive mediocre food in a pleasant setting. The sushi was fine, but not exceptional. The cooked dishes were disappointing. Avoid the fried dumplings and overcooked Angus teriyaki. The chocolate dessert was surprisingly delicious. Good attentive service, but there are better places to dine in the Hamptons. read more

So very mediocre and very overpriced. Tiny pieces of a white fish special for $9?! And their "special" steamed buns were barely filled and flavorless. We spent $150 for a modest portion of very mediocre appetizers and sushi. We will not be back. read more

Definitely the best sushi in the Hamptons.The quality of the fish is amazing and Sen is one of the rare place in the Hamps that you get great service. I heard they are opening in Manhattan in the fall and I cannot wait. Tora get your favorite sake ready because I will be there all the time. read more

Just called to take my daughter for dinner and when I asked approximate wait time the response was "I have no no idea" and hung up! Customer Service. read more

Good sushi in the Hamptons. If you need your fix of spicy tuna rolls this is the spot to go to out east

Probably the best sushi in the Hamptons. Very fresh and tasty. I loved the yellow tail appetizer with jalapeno. It had some real "zing" but was light and delicious. The service was very friendly despite being the end of August when most places are sick of the summer crowd. Crowd was casual and laid back and not as big a scene as other places out east. read more

very salty beef and too much rice in their sushi. The pork bun was pretty okay.

Things have gone downhill from last year. We got the Garuda roll (still good but not amazing as it used to be), the Dragon, and a California with whit crabmeat, fatty tuna, mixed seaweed salad, and the shishitos which were not as good as I remember them. The service was fast and attentive but the food simply wasn't as good as usually. Sadly, one certainly has to learn that quality food is not something to expect in the Hamptons... read more

I live in the Hamptons a sizeable portion of the year, and I've eaten here once, been for drinks twice, and that was enough. Even though I like the other restaurant this group owns in the Hamptons (Phao nextdoor, for it's food - not it's wine pricing).....Sen's sushi is "just sushi," It's plain-jane. It's nothing to write home about and you could probably make more tasty sushi in your own kitchen. And, in the three total times I have been there, I found that the overall service is poor. It's not as poor as B Smith's. Nothing tops the poor service there. But it's certainly not polished and hard to get your servers atttention. read more

What a rip off ! Ridiculously overpriced. For special rolls priced at $23 each, I should have been completely blown away. Smallest rolls you've ever seen. In all honesty, the service was quite good, very attentive, but the food is most un-impressive. Have a glass of wine and edamame, check out the pretty people walking around, and leave. read more

If you haven't been to Sen in the past week and a half you should really go and try the cheesecake they have put on the dessert menu! But make sure you get the sampler so that you can try the different flavors! read more

Sen is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Hamptons. The dishes produced by the creative and talented people behind the sushi bar and in the kitchen are both gorgeous to look at and an enormous pleasure to eat. To those reviewers who have criticized the service, I am quite surprised. The staff in its entirety is second to none. They are consummate professionals who possess extensive knowledge of the menu as well as the plethora of offerings from the bar. The employees, across the board, always go out of their way to make you feel welcome, comfortable and satisfied. The restaurant business in the Hamptons is extremely difficult. Open today, gone tomorrow. There is a reason why Sen has remained a top food destination for so many years and will continue to for so many more. They know how to produce amazing food and they truly value their customers. As you can tell, I would highly recommend it! read more

I have an excellent experience at Sen every time I go. The food is delicious. The plates are well thought through, not to mention a beautiful sight. I recommend the panko tofu, the Garuda roll and the salmon tartare cannot be missed. Not to mention our waitress was a delight. read more

My first Yelp....On Holidays from Dublin, Ireland. TripAdvisor gave a decent wrap to Sen Restaurant in Sag Harbor. We came off the beach at 6.30pm. Home and showered and drove into town with my wife and 3 teenage kids hoping to jag a table at Sen. Expected to wait but the young Crew at the door took us in immediately and offered us the best table in the house in the front window. Introduced to Bruce our designated host. Menu overwhelming. Asked Bruce to surprise us and order what he felt would do the Kitchen Team justice. He did! The next hour was a continuum of absolutely first class Japanese cuisine with a myriad of dishes delivered seamlessly to our table. Magnificent. Totally satisfied yet not overly full despite the number of dishes presented. Beautiful NZ Marlborough SB ( Cloud9) complimented this world class meal. Bruce was magnificent throughout the entire experience...explaining every dish and advising our Kids how to taste each one. Bruce then sorted out the taxi to pick us up to take us home after a gentle stroll up Main Street to Buddha Berry Frozen Yoghurt for a totally different desert. Will return next week to Sen for our Farewell Dinner in Sag Harbor. Hope Bruce is on deck again! read more

Sen - Bruce at Sen in Sag Harbor...what a host! Magic meal....magic night. Thanks Mate! Johnny - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sag Harbor, New York

The Sushi was very good. The service was great . But the portions were very small. I had to order 3 dinners just to get enough to eat and the sushi chefs were just full of themselves. read more

Great cool mellow place for sushi. Pleasant ambiance and cool wooden furniture. Ordered vegetable goyza it was soo fresh and delicious very flavorful with spicy mustard sauce and ponzu sauce on the side. Sushi was great and fresh, ordered the Hawaiian and Orange Jalapeño Rolls. Super fresh seaweed. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, family, and all of you! I plan on returning very soon. read more

This place is awesome! They truly have good food and great service. I recommend the Pork Katsu Buns; they were amazing! I will be back for as long as I am a resident of The Hamptons. read more

I wish I hadn't wasted one of my rare nights out on this place. The food was meh, the service was mediocre, and the atmosphere even considering Covid was appalling. First, there was a strange odor of incense wafting over the whole back garden, which is not great when you're trying to eat. Then we asked the waitress if they could turn down the vapid eurotrash music that was pulsing from a loudspeaker directly over us, explaining that we couldn't hear each other from across the table. We are young people with perfectly functioning ears, for reference. She replied that she could ask her manager but in general he never agreed to turn the music down, as if the music had been an issue with other diners before. Then the manager came over and claimed no one had ever asked to turn the music down and why would I request anything so outrageous on a Friday night and by the way he wouldn't do it. I pointed out that with Covid going around it was dangerous for waitstaff to scream over the music in the direction of diners and only then did he turn it down a tad, after emphasizing how out of line he thought I was to have asked in the first place. Never again with this place, even in the best of times. read more

Was very wary of trying Sen as we have had so many disappointments with sushi lately. We lived in Asia for two years so have high expectations...many wonderful meals in Tokyo that have ruined us for life. Sen was excellent. We were a large group of 7...seated immediately on a busy Friday night. ..crowds began to form shortly after we were seated. The service was terrific...never had to wait too long for anything. Edamame was fresh and expertly cooked...a good sign for things to come. Our son had the wonton fish tacos which he loved...an excellent idea using the wontons as the taco shell...fresh light fish with the usual accompaniments...delicious.the Sen salad was a simple dish that we all enjoyed with the usual ginger dressing that so many love. Most importantly though was the sushi...I had the chirashi which was great...beautiful cuts of salmon, tuna, fatty tuna, tamagotchi, scallops, yellow tail, fluke and bass...all fresh, clean, cut well, etc. my husband ordered by the piece and had a similar selection...he is much more discerning as he spent way more time in Tokyo...he proclaimed the fish excellent....this is a rare proclamation for him. All In all I was really happy with Sen and would go back in a flash. Yes it is expensive but if you are vacationing in the Hamptons, then you know this is the drill. Sushi is expensive in any quality place no matter the location...it must be wildly expensive to source this fish for the restaurant. Anyway, there is great sushi in the Hamptons! Hooray! Went to the sad little Nobu last summer at the Capri and it was terrible and wildly expensive...was a huge disappointment for us.... read more

Pretty good sushi. Really pricey. Great location in Sag Harbor, right by the water. Not my favorite place, but pretty good if you've got the hankering for sushi in the Hamptons. read more

It IS good sushi..... but once the cat was out of the proverbial bag it's a bit of a pain. Still I have to recommend it. You decide for your selves. 3 stars please. read more

Sen, during the summer is a scene. In the winter, it's quiet and getting a table is easy as 123! Waiting for food, isn't a problem either. While dining at Sen, try the pork bun, shrimp shumai, spicy tuna was avocado, and special tuna roll, I believe it's called the "Dragon" role. Service was great, as there were only about 6 other people in the restaurant. I'll return here, during "winter in a summer town!" read more

The sushi is great. But the service usually manages to dampen my experience a bit. Prices are high-par for the course I guess.

Well, let's start off saying they are unique. Their sushi is "authentic" which is opposite of every other place in the area (confusing). Most of us know sushi as a sushi roll, which here is called Maki, not sushi. Then there's sushi, a piece of fish over rice, boring, and sashimi, a piece of fish, even more boring. I guess this is popular otherwise it shouldn't be on the menu. Another guy who wasn't our server, explained the difference. We sat outside and were neglected. The staff, and host/hostess were more interested talking among themselves than coming over to our table although we stared at them through the window. I don't want to come back here. read more

The food was great, as usual. Jumbo shrimp shumai, and Garuda roll are two of my favorites. I was really impressed with the service yesterday. The hostess Jessica handled a particularly rude, loud, super-obnoxious customer perfectly. He was putty in her hands. My server, Warren was attentive and helpful - quite possibly the nicest person on Earth. The food and drinks are expensive, but typical for The Hamptons. read more

Excellent sushi spot in Sag Harbor - the food choices are good, the drink selection excellent. Be nice to the waitstaff (i.e. don't be a hamptons snob) and your 2 hour wait will be drastically less. read more

Sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed a great salad, spicy tuna roll and tasty cocktails. Loved the Sin Gin. Good service too.

They had Shishito peppers -- a plus since I was randomly craving this. This was simply grilled and salted. It was good enough to satisfy my craving, but I prefer the yuzu salt that Ippudo serves with it. Yellowtail jalapeño - not so good citrus sauce. I like a more vinegary ponzu sauce. Scallop was tasty and fresh. Silky and smooth Ramune drink- a fun japanese soda (fun as in- there's a marble floating around in it) - blast from the past as I was first introduced to this drink many years ago. Overall the food was just ok, but the atmosphere and scene seemed pretty upbeat. read more

Ate here a while back but finally got a yelp so now i can review it!!! Loved the food here, atmosphere is fantastic. Staff is really accommodating. Would definitely recommend, but it is quite pricey and in my opinion theres not enough seating so it does fill up wayyyyy too fast. But if you're lucky enough to get a seat, you'll have a great time. read more

I was totally disappointed on Sat evening. Restaurant wasn't crowded therefore chef wasn't rushed. My food was cold and tasteless and prices were very high for bland chicken. I guess they are crowded in the summer because it's the only place in town that serves Japanese. Save your money! read more

Cute place. Great sushi and entrees. Helpful staff and busy in the week in the fall. Really enjoyed this place.

Aside from Haru sushi in nyc this is my favorite Japanese In addition to great rolls you must try the short rib appetizer and the pork bun appetizer too read more

Mediocre Japanese, but the only option in the Hamptons. They kept us from eating elsewhere by telling us a table would be available in 20 mins. It is already 40 and we have three starving tweens... Get your act together. read more

The food is DISGUSTING. The food is AWFUL. 2nd terrible meal in a row. We did take out and for $28 a chicken teriyaki which was 2 grilled chicken breasts with sauce on the side and a few roasted carrots. Then my friend ate the rainbow roll and soft shell crab roll and threw up half of the night. Miso soup was inedible. Really disappointing. I should have gone with my gut and gotten food from Yama-Q in bridgehampton. It baffles me how this place is always packed when the food is clearly gross. read more

Had a wonderful meal last Saturday night. The place was packed! The gruda roll is great and the best part was ending the meal with the Oreo cheese cake was phenomenal!! read more

Yummy. While the food had been spotty in year's past, it is excellent now ---across the board, from sushi to salad. All of the folks working there are really trying to help and after our little soy sauce spill, an army of folks were there in a New York second to clean up. Our kids love the shrimp tempura,and the special crab California Rolls. Us parents like the increasingly large and tasty vegetarian options. Sen is our Sag Harbor stable and is surely a top five Hamptons restaurant. D read more

Sen is a great environment and the food is pretty good, not great. Very basic Japanese with a high price tag. Fun atmosphere tho.
