  We were a bit surprised that you have to write down your own orders on the order ticket, versus the waitress taking your order. The sushi are both listed on an order form and on the menu with a few pictures.
  
  The menu has most of the common items you'd typically see at a Japanese restaurant, served with miso soup and rice. My pork tonkatsu was a bit over cooked, so it was extremely crunchy and lacking flavor. I basically had to drowned it sauce for flavor. The California roll as alright, nothing special. Kind of lacked filling, so it was basically just rice.

  I had the strangest experience in this place.  Sometimes I order take out a sushi place (e.g., teriyaki) while sitting at the sushi bar and having some sushi while I wait.  This was my first time at Senfuku and I had been looking forward to trying the place.  It was 6ish and the place was sparse (3 people at the bar).  They had a hard time grasping that I wanted both - take out and to have sushi while I waited - as we went over this multiple times. The coup de gras was when the waitress came out to bring me a hot towel and the sushi chef instructed her in Japanese not to.  A discussion in Japanese ensued followed by another request for clarification as to what I wanted.  I again explained I wanted a spicy tuna roll (cut) and Spanish Mackeral (if they had it) while I waited.  The sushi chef responded in Japanese to the waitress that they had no Spanish Mackeral and I was allowed to have the hot towel and they took my drink order (iced tea).  It was rather embarrassing and I felt sincerely disrespected.
  
  At that point, I indicated that I was having doubts about whether to stay, but I did and waited for my spicy tuna roll and takeout.  They brought me water and I explained that I ordered Iced Tea, at which one of the regulars responded that they were being particularly ditzy that night.
  
  Finally, I got my roll and take out.  No effort was made to make me feel less uncomfortable.  I paid the bill and then typed into Google Translate (for translation in Japanese) and played the Japanese as I left saying that I had looked forward to coming but that I have not felt welcome here and feel disrespected.  The chef listened.  I bowed at the end and left.  No response at all to what I had said.
  
  Maybe I just got them on a bad night but I can't imagine coming here again when there are other sushi places nearby where the chefs are fun and don't disrespect the guests.

  I'm supporting my wife's review below. I dont think an establishment should ever switch modes of operation regardless of the previous relationship with regular customers or not. I will not support a business that does this. To add insult to injury, we were celebrating our anniversary which added to the blow.
  
  My wife's review below:
  
  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 type of service.

  Not sure why they have so many stars. I gave an extra star because we didn't get sick...yet. They do well because there is one other Sushi spot in San Pedro. Service wasn't great, came by twice total.  Our fairly simple order took about 35 mins. Longest I've ever waited for sushi. I made a comment and they said it was serviced in order of customers...the place was half empty.
  Ok, either way, rolls weren't great. Tasted like Vons sushi, at best. I've eaten a lot of sushi in LA and this ranks among the worst. I live in San Pedro so I guess I won't be eating sushi again any time soon.
