Tentsuru delivers a technically excellent tempura experience, and what stood out most was the batter. It was exceptionally light, crisp, and delicate, enhancing the natural flavors of the ingredients without overwhelming them. The quality of the produce and the precision of the preparation were evident throughout the meal, and the service was attentive and polished. That said, while the execution was impressive, the overall menu felt very classical and traditional. For diners who appreciate authenticity, this will certainly be a strength. However, after experiencing the restaurant, we felt that there was limited innovation or creativity in the progression of the courses. The dishes were well-made, but there were few surprises or memorable elements that differentiated the experience from other high-end tempura establishments. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal and a testament to the chef’s technical skill. However, to encourage repeat visits and retain loyal customers, it may be worthwhile to introduce more creative seasonal offerings, unique ingredient combinations, or signature dishes that showcase a stronger sense of innovation while still respecting the traditions of tempura. A good meal today, with the potential to become an even more compelling dining destination in the future

Had my birthday lunch here and it was a wonderful experience. I had the Uguisu menu, which included an appetiser, salad, a tempura course (4 seafood, 3 vegetables, and their signature sea urchin tempura), followed by a choice of tendon or tencha, and dessert. The tempura was extremely fresh with light and tasty batter — perfectly done and not greasy at all. Everything was so delicious and light that I found myself wishing there were more items, simply because I wanted to keep eating. The restaurant was a bit chilly, but shawls and blankets were thoughtfully provided, which was very appreciated. Both chefs during today’s session were very nice and attentive, making the experience feel warm and personal. Special mention to the tempura master — very handsome as well! Overall, a lovely place for a special occasion and a truly memorable birthday meal.

It was my first time enjoying a tempura omakase at Tentsuru, and the whole experience was truly memorable. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the tempura sea urchin was especially impressive. The thin, crisp batter was almost paper-like, and the uni inside melted beautifully—almost like a mousse or ice cream. The A5 wagyu was another highlight. Pairing it with their house-made onion sauce, onsen egg, and freshly shaved black truffle created an incredible burst of aroma and flavour. A must-try combination! Special thanks to Joyce for recommending the seasonal chestnut ice cream. It was unique, fragrant, and beautifully crafted. Thank you to Tentsuru for giving us such a wonderful tempura omakase experience. Highly recommended to everyone!

Great omakase experience that specifically specialises in tempura. Each item is fried to perfection right in front of you, with a light flour coating, the internal and external temperature creates strong contrast that you cannot find elsewhere. The presentation of everything is also remarkable as they are thoughtfully set on your plate for your consumption. Overall the dining experience is incredible as it complimented by the calming interior design and quiet atmosphere which allows you to further appreciate the food.
