Now that Sens Asian Tapas & Sake Bar is up and running with its dinner service, chef-owner Johnny Chu has finally added lunch hours (11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Saturday) and a new wok menu. (***Update: Lunch starts Monday, February 9.)
By “new,” I actually mean new to Sens, since some of these dishes are what made Chu a boldfaced name to begin with, like red curry, “House Dynamite,” and “Black Dragon,” the best black bean sauce in town. (Chu’s no longer involved with Fate, his original restaurant.)
Here’s what’s on the lunch menu:
The Wok
Choice of Chicken or Tofu
Shrimp or Tenderloin Beef
Duk Gook
flat rice noodles w/bok choy, broccoli, sprouts, baby corn, carrots, mushroom, sugar peas, and green onions in a garlic sauce
Pad Thai
rice noodles with carrots, onions, sprouts, beech mushroom and peanuts in a ginger chili sauce
House Dynamite
bell pepper, sugar peas, pineapple, carrot, bac ha, beech mushrooms, and peanuts in a sweet spicy sauce
Spicy Basil

Black Dragon
flat rice noodles w/bok choy, broccoli, sprouts, baby corn, carrots, mushroom, sugar peas,
and green onions in a black bean sauce
