About this place
Pair your tendon with a small udon, or have it with cold soba. At Tendon Tenya, the rice bowl is the focus, but you can choose how substantial a meal to make and what to serve alongside it. The classic “Tenya Tendon” comes with shrimp, squid, Japanese whiting, pumpkin and green beans. Some reviewers have praised the crispness of the tempura batter and the sweet-and-savoury sauce.
The chicken-and-maitake tendon combines chicken tempura with maitake mushrooms, aubergine, lotus root and green beans. For a vegetable-led option, there is also a vegetable tendon topped with items including maitake, aubergine, onion, lotus root, sweet potato and pumpkin. Soba and udon sets make the meal more substantial. Reviewers have described pairing a small udon with an autumn-ingredients tendon bowl, or choosing tempura with cold soba, so you can tailor the combination to your preference for hot or cold dishes and portion size.
The simple dining room has counter and table seating, making it suitable for dining alone. Takeaway is available too, so you can enjoy a meal with soba in the restaurant or take a tendon bento to go.
