Tendon Tenya

Crunchy but soft inside tempura. Its really good! Should try it when youre in the area. Price is decent and huge portion. You get to order from the ipad and pay at the cpunter after dining. I suggest to add squid tempura and pumpkin tempura...so goood! I notice many locals come here which is a good sign!

Luckily, We were able to grab seats, for lunch, without waiting. Ordering was easy as we were able to order on the Tablet with English option. Prices were economical for the cuisine and the eats were tasty. . Staff were efficient and polite.

Part of the Tendon Tenya chain, this one is Asakusa is pretty convenient : in area flooded by Izakaya and various "Wagyu" for tourists restaurants, it’s refreshing to find a Japanese cuisine restaurant not targeting tourists. The menu is available in English, you can order with a tablet, the food is delicious and served quite fast and is quite cheap compared to the alternatives in the area. The staff was energetic : welcoming customers arriving, thanking leaving ones, handling taking out orders … all that with a smile. The restaurant is quite spacious and can accommodate big tables (assuming there is still space remaining). Overall very nice experience with delicious food and amazing staff. Recommended if you in the area and never tried Tendon or just tired of the alternatives nearby.

For the price, this place can't be beat. Very tasty and fresh tempura. Miso was also delicious. I got the shrimp and squid tempura that came with green beans and lotus. I added an egg plant tempura. The flavors were amazing. The only thing was that it was a little soggy and not super crispy but the taste was spot on. For the price, this was an amazingly good deal. I would come here again when I'm nearby. Very friendly worker also. English menu with QR code (small QR code on front of menu)

Excellent location in the heart of the bustling Asakusa neighbourhood. An affordable meal for vegetarians alongside seafood and meat. I skipped the salad but everything else was delicious, especially the large portions of rice. We visited at lunch and dinner time, a short wait but worth it. English menus are available as you order via iPad at your table. When it’s busy if you don’t mind sitting on the stools you will be seated quicker, some face the kitchen. Clean venue with pleasant staff. Lightly fried, the sweet potato and pumpkin are delicious and have you craving more. Can pay via card (contactless) or cash From the outside it doesn’t look like much but a recommended chain to visit.

The tempura is crispy and delicious! 😋 Compared to other Ten-Ya locations, the Asakusa branch is especially good. A great choice for travelers looking to save money.

The taste is insane and price is excellent, best tempura of my life. Literally came here 4 times in 3 days, also the service is exceptional. Thank you so much!

Very goof value for money. And their soba is better than most other locals i tried. Last visit in tokyo, i make mission to try all of their chain Restaurant And most of them are on top notch quality

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Tempura tendon Tenya is a chain located on the main road in Asakusa. The chain is a no-frills chain offering take-out and dine in with a separate take-out window. There was a small wait before being shown a counter seat. Ordering was done using the tablet at every seat. There were menus in both English and Japanese at each seat. Food arrived shortly after submitting the order. Opted for their seafood tempura don along with a side of udon and pickled vegetables. Their seafood tempura included scallop, unagi, and crab leg along with shrimp. The tempura was a touch soggy after a sauce was poured over the tempura. Requested for a small bowl of rice and even that was huge! The regular udon was also huge, should have opted for a small one instead! The miso soup was tasty and the pickled vegetables were a touchy salty. Managed to finish half of my lunch before being too full! There was a small basket at each seat for placing small items. There are numerous set meals for 780-900 yen. ~1650 yen per person for lunch.

If you're looking for a quick, casual, inexpensive tempura shop, you've come to the right spot. We swing by for a very early dinner, meaning only 4-5 other people were in the restaurant with us. I ordered the prawn and vegetable set which came with two pieces of shrimp, and 4-5 pieces of vegetables. The set allowed me to choose rice or noodles. I chose rice which then came with miso, pickles, sauce with shredded ginger and daikon on the side and green tea. My husband ordered the vegetable set with a beer. He chose the noodle route and opted for udon over soba, which came with pickles and tea, no miso since he got noodles. He's more of a curry udon man, so this was not at the top of the list for him but I appreciated the simplicity, value, and thought it hit the spot. The only criticism was the lotus root, which was nearly inedible because it was so hard. I couldn't bite through it and had to leave it on the plate. The shrimp was delicious as was the squash. For under 1700 yen, or the equivalent of $12 in October 2023, it was a hell of a bargain and worth it in my mind. The service was impeccable as it always is and was in Japan, regardless if you're paying a dollar or a hundred dollars. They're doing it right.

Most memorable tempura! Hungry in Tokyo, found our fill at this chain restaurant. Felt like a "KFC" of tempura - but much tastier. Good crunch to the food and served hot! We didn't speak any Japanese but the staff were so kind to accommodate!

Good and pretty affordable tempura. I got the combination with shrimp, squid, and vegetables. Tempura was hot and fresh, a lot of batter but it was good. Note that it comes with the tempura sauce drizzled on the top, so if you don't like sauce or want to keep it from getting soggy, I would recommend asking for the sauce on the side.

This is the best Sobu spot in tokyo with a reasonable price and great service. The sobu has great flavor and the batter on the tempura is just great.
