3 WISE MONKEYS – Senopati

A highly recommended place for sushi lovers! Located at Jl. Suryo, Senopati, 3 Wise Monkeys is a Japanese Restaurant and Bar specializing in Traditional Kaiseki Omakaze and Sake Bar. The restaurant is easy to found since they’re located just right across the Creamatology Coffee Roasters with a signage of 3 monkeys symbol.

3 Wise Monkeys has 2 floors which the first floor is dedicated more to a dining area and it’s a non-smoking area, while the second floor is more to bar and lounge with sofas, coffee table, and of course a smoking area. The ambiance is pretty simple in our opinion, without adding too much stuff to their interior but it’s still pretty nice and cozy enough.

The restaurant serves many kinds of Japanese fusion dishes ranging from sushi, sashimi, rice and noodle, soup, tempura, and desserts. You can order food off the a la carte menu, or choose the All You Can Eat package. With AYCE package for IDR 199,000++, you can choose more than 70 items with free flow of hot/cold ocha. Sounds The time limit for AYCE is 4 hours on weekdays and 2,5 hours on weekend. Sounds a good deal, right? Since we’re craving and want to eat a lot of sushi, of course we choose the AYCE package!

Tori Karaage

This is a very common dish in a Japanese restaurant. It’s so crispy outside and juicy but quite less of flavor. Well, it doesn’t matter for us since we didn’t expect too much from it.

Chawan Mushi

The chawan mushi was delicious. This is a steamed egg with shrimp, chicken, shiitake mushroom, and edamame. It’s silky, smooth, and very soft. They were very generous with the shrimp, chicken, and the shiitake mushroom. You should eat this while they still warm for more delicious taste.

Crispy Mushroom

Another fried appetizer. This is crispy enoki mushroom with chili sauce. Like Tori Karaage, we think that it’s less of flavor and tastes quite bland.

Chicken Katsu

Unlike tori karaage, their chicken katsu was really good! It’s crispy, juicy, and flavorful with the mayonnaise topping. Very like it!

Shishamo Tempura

Fried shishamo or Japanese saltwater fish. The fish is fried whole and served with its roe intact. It tastes good and so crispy.

Niku Udon

With the high expectation, sorry to say, we’re disappointed with their niku udon. The texture was just okay but the flavor was bad for our taste-bud. It’s flavorless and doesn’t live up our expectation.

3 Wise Monkeys Special Roll

The best part starts here! 3 Wise Monkeys Special Roll actually is a salmon roll with special ingredients, cream cheese, kani stick, takuan, and special mayo. It tastes really good and their salmon was really fresh!

Aburi Salmon Cheese Roll

Salmon, kani stick, vegetable, and cream cheese with special mayo. The torched salmon and cream cheese is such a perfect combination that melts in your mouth.

Aburi Spicy Salmon Roll

Spicy salmon roll topped with torched salmon. It’s as good as Aburi Salmon Cheese Roll but with a little kick of spicy.

Beef Teriyaki Roll

Consists of vegetable, white sesame, teriyaki sauce, tanuki, and topped with beef teriyaki. Although this is not as yummy as their salmon roll, but we really like the beef teriyaki. It’s juicy, tender, and rich in teriyaki flavor.

Crunchy Unagi Roll

The first impression, it’s literally crunchy! A simple sushi roll with unagi, tanuka, and special sauce. The unagi is crunchy to the max!

Crispy Salmon Skin Roll

This particular dish was also good! However, we’re expecting a more generous amount of crispy salmon skin! Aside from that, we love the texture of rice and the taste was pretty good as well.

Salmon Lava

From all dishes we’ve tried, this one is the champion! The torched salmon sashimi roll with house special sauce was really dabomb! It’s fresh, juicy, and perfectly combined with their house special sauce. It tastes just perfect when it melts in your mouth. Heaven on earth!

Beef Enoki Mushroom Roll

Enoki mushroom wrapped with beef. The beef tastes sweet, savory, and very juicy.

Beef Cheese Roll

The beef is good as well, but this one is much better than beef enoki mushroom roll. The melted cheese wrapped in beef and it tastes salty and savory. Such a great combination of cheese and beef.

Desserts

For a sweet ending, we had Jelly Chocolate Pudding, Panna Cotta Pudding, and 3 scoops of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry). After having a sushi feast, these sweet treats are just the perfect ending!

Overall, we had a great lunch experience at 3 Wise Monkeys. We highly recommend you to choose the AYCE package since it’s totally worth it. FYI, all dishes that we had is equal to more than IDR 1 million and we just need to pay IDR 468,000 (nett) for two! There are many things that you can choose but we recommend you to skip anything besides sushi. From all sushi we’ve tried, some were tasted perfect, some were good, and none were disappointing, but don’t expect too much from non-sushi dishes. It’s definitely a heaven for sushi lovers!
