Senso Brings Sushi, City Vibes To Downtown Frankfort
FRANKFORT, IL — With an aesthetic of city vibes in the suburbs and a focus on the sushi-lover, Senso is set to open in early November in downtown Frankfort.
Senso, owned by Mookie Lee, will be located at 3 N. White St., in a newly-built development with room for 85 seats.
This will be the third restaurant concept for Lee, but the first full-service, he told Patch. Lee, who grew up in the north suburbs, said the plan for a Frankfort restaurant has been in the works for two years.

“The city is very competitive, it’s really hard to differentiate,” he said.
Lee wanted to bring an eating option to Frankfort that brought the city vibe to the south suburbs.

“I wanted to bring something that if you want to go out, you can go 10 minutes down the street, instead of all the way to Chicago,” he said.
Senso will include several signature rolls on the menu, including a roll named “Ravu,” which is a nod to the name of Lee’s tribe when he was on CBS’ Survivor. Lee was on season 14 of the show, which aired in 2007.
“We want to focus on sushi and do it really well,” Lee said. The restaurant will also feature some craft cocktails.
Some signature rolls may be “outside the box,” with one roll even featuring tikka masala sauce.
“We’re playing around with flavors,” Lee said. “We want to give something that people haven’t seen before.”
He added that the menu will be vegetarian and vegan-friendly.
