After 10 years on 1st Avenue, SenYa has closed

A pizzeria is taking over the SenYa space at 109 First Ave. between Sixth Street and Seventh Street. 

There's now a rather generic-looking sign up on the gate of the former Japanese restaurant with the coming-soon info. 

SenYa debuted here in the spring of 2015. 

On the topic of pizza... a few blocks to the south between Third and Fourth, we have a cheap-slice switcheroo, with Basilic Pizzeria taking over for the short-lived Halal Bites Pizza...

SenYa now open on 1st Avenue

The Japanese restaurant opened Monday at 109 First Ave. between East Sixth Street and East Seventh Street.

Per SenYa's Facebook page:

SenYa is committed to provide the highest standards of Japanese Food Dining. We prepare our meals freshly and with the finest ingredients of the season.

We don't know anyone who has eaten here just yet. (There are two enthusiastic 5-star reviews on Yelp.) Please let us know if you do try it.

The small space was previously home to Ginger, whose owners decided to sell the business for family reasons.
