Food: This place's main pull is their ramen, with a rich and fatty base tonkotsu that the other ramen dishes build on. Out of the Tokyo Tonkotsu, Spicy Tonkotsu, and Mega Ramen, I'd have to say that the Tokyo Tonkotsu was my favorite, as its simple yet flavorful broth helped bring out the flavors of the other ingredients more, while the Spicy Tonkotsu and Mega Ramen each had extra items added to their broth that masked those flavors. Specifically, the Spicy had a Szechuan type of spice that was very forward on the palette while the Mega had a very umami garlic broth (neither of these were bad, just not as good as the Tokyo). Other than that, the omurice and the Korean BBQ rice dishes were great, with the omurice being a standout, due to the light sauce perfectly covering the egg, the dish having exquisite presentation, and having a side of crispy chicken or pork. The Korean BBQ rice was also good, both the beef could've used more time on the grill to develop a more charred edge. The drinks we got (they were complimentary), that being the Thai Tea and Lemonade, were both great, with the Thai Tea having a nice balance of sweetness, and the lemonade having a refreshing tartness. Their desserts, including both puddings and a matcha tiramisu, were extremely nice; the pudding had a very bouncy texture and the tiramisu was rich and delicate at the same time.
Service: Came here for my mom's birthday, and the servers and staff made sure not to disappoint. All of them were kind and sweet, with some of our orders coming complimentary as a sweet gesture to it being a special occasion. Our server, Wilson, talked about the menu in a concise and informative way, and always made sure that we were content and filled.
Ambiance: This place opened up a month ago, and the interior reflects that. The tableware and surrounding atmosphere are extremely modern, with the wood and red stone walls complementing the restaurant nicely. Unlike other restaurants, Tenjou has bright lighting that allows for a more pleasurable eating experience.
Oh do I wish I lived in New York to find more incredible restaurants like this. This place seems to have had a head start due to its marketing on social media, but unlike certain other trendy restaurants, this place exceeds on both the food and service. I absolutely recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a delicious bite.
