Izakaya Tenzo

“The food tastes incredibly fresh and clean, and the tuna rib is a must try fun to eat and full of clean flavor. The staff provides exceptional service, constantly checking in and making sure our dishes arrive quickly and at their best. The ambiance is relaxing, the food is consistently fresh, and the service is attentive without ever feeling intrusive.”

“Did you just return from a Japan trip and now you feel depressed? 😔 Come here and get some chicken katsu curry and mochi while staring at posters of Mt. Fuji and know you’ll be alright 👍”

“This casual izakaya was perfect for our friendly dinner. The food was fire and affordable, and their staff were friendly and attentive. The guy I went with who I was visiting moved into the neighborhood recently, and was very happy to find this spot and said he would be frequenting this place often. 🫶🏼”

“I enjoyed my visit here. We tried a few of the rolls, the trio don, the tuna triangle, and the shishito peppers. The ingredients tasted fresh and everything came out well prepared, especially the fish and appetizers. The atmosphere can be a little hit or miss depending on how crowded it gets—sometimes it feels like a good balance, other times it can get pretty noisy. Overall though, it was a good experience and I’d come back to try more of the menu.”

“I was intrigued by the high ratings of this restaurant and made a point to visit for a weeknight dinner. Having eaten there, I am puzzled. The service was attentive and quick. No notes there. The shop was a standard-issue corner restaurant, basically undifferentiated from the Mexican restaurant that was there years before. Not a place you’d select for ambiance or date night, but it was clean and well-lit. The food was quite average. I had the pork belly mazemen and agedashi tofu. My partner had seaweed salad, vegetarian roll and yellowtail roll. Of all these dishes, mazemen was the tastiest. The noodles were overcooked, but the pork and egg combo compensated. All the other dishes were unremarkable, poorly seasoned or weirdly textured. Fortunately, dishes are reasonably priced so our exploration did not set us back too much. Overall, it’s a fairly average neighborhood restaurant with moderate prices.”
