Tempura Abe Ginza 8-chome

We wanted to have tempura for dinner and came across this restaurant through Google Maps. It's up on the third floor, a few doors down from Shiseido Parlour and above Atlantis (the shop). We chose the omakase and we were really glad we did. Ten different items, all fried to perfection and served piping hot. Chef Abe will provide suggestions of how each course should be consumed. He's a very kindly man and speaks English well enough. I ate most of mine with just lemon juice and salt. There is a rice dish to wrap things up before dessert with coffee *and* tea. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The food was indistinguishable from another tempura restaurant we had been visiting in Ginza. This one is in much more modest but cozy surroundings and much more reasonably priced. It is very reasonably priced for the quality of food and service that you get. This is going onto our list of favourites.

A cozy tempura restaurant and special experience. We sat at the counter and ordered the tempura don and hot sake, which were perfect on a cold winter evening. The chef and waitress were so gracious and wonderful. Highly recommend for an authentic experience and opportunity to slow down amid the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We’ll be back the next time we visit Japan.

Intimate setting. Great tempura. Friendly staff. A bit pricey for the setting but very tasty.

Wahhh.. i found this hidden gem in ginza.. I am so happy today.. I found a delicious tempura don.. ahh very oishi.. very good.. I like the small cozy place, warmheart service and of course a great delicious tempura.. The shrimp, the scallop, the fish, the veggie.. All are good man.. Life is great, and also this place very great also.. Will comeback here again were i am in tokyo.. Thank you very much The Chef And The Waitress 🙏🙏

Pretty amazing tempura, simply amazing dining experience. Not overly fancy, ingredients were top quality and frying was spot on. Everything taste delicious. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a truly wonderful lunch here. Reasonably priced. The set had several vegetables, a prawn, white fish, and included soup. The chef fries each piece to order and serves them to you one by one, fresh and hot. It's tiny, only about 8 counter seats, but it looked like they had another room for larger parties. The entrance is hard to find so look for the sign. It's not obvious. I'll post a photo of the sign. Sadly I didn't have any food photos, it was all too appetizing!

I don’t get why this restaurant has good reputation….We sat at the counter seats but the chef didn’t explain or talk to us. Tempura itself was below my expectations. I won’t come

Heads up .You need to be a hardcore exotic seafood person ( by North American standards) I didn’t recognize most of what was presented and ate maybe 1/4 of what was presented . I’ve had better Shrimp Tempura in Canada . Extremely limited drink menu and only one set course to eat with no options for food . At $16,000 yen it was Way overpriced as well . Sorry Chef but I don’t eat the tails of shrimp either . Not impressed . There are way better options .
