“ Interior is bright, clean and open. Staff is very friendly. I had the Chef Special (spicy, but actually not really spicy) with Melon milk for lunch. Tempura is lightly battered and doesn’t taste grease. Very crispy and yummy! The soft fried egg definitely wowed me! Melon milk is a little too sweet for me. I’d come back again and try different dishes. Try not to go at peak hours. I arrived at 1:15pm and waited about 15 mins for 1 person, but the wait time is about 45 mins to an hour for a group of 4 behind me. ”

“ This Japanese restaurant is located in shopping mall, adjacent to Brentwood Mall and Sky Station, and has convenient transportation. The restaurant mainly buys Japanese tempura, but other foods are also good, such as curry pork chop rice. I appreciate their excellent service, especially the proactive refilling of soup, salad, and tea. However, the air conditioning is not so good. The cooling system is too strong from top to seat. ”

“ The udon noodles were very tasty. Value was solid and the service was interesting. Everything is done via a tablet on your table. I like how the pricing was the same for any size. ”

“ The dishes at this restaurant are absolutely delicious! The tempura on top of the rice was crunchy and flavorful, and the aroma of the flour mixed with egg was simply delightful. A truly enjoyable dining experience with every bite bursting with flavor and freshness. Highly recommend trying out their dishes! ”

“ We went last year for the grand opening promotion and then again last week. Despite mixed reviews, we really enjoyed both times. There is just enough amount of sauce and super well seasoned even though it doesn’t look like it. The portions are generous. The drinks are a little pricey, which I speculate is due to the containers being one-time use. The kabocha salad was very healthy tasting so it was good to pair with the fried food. Oh and a big plus is it appears that they serve real freshly grated wasabi!! My husband ordered the one with sashimi and was pleasantly surprised by this. My mom also really liked her seafood tendon. Happiness all around and would definitely go back. I thought the price was a little high before, but not anymore with all the inflation. ”

“ This was quite a surprise for me and it was a very good Tendon restaurant. We ordered the dine out menu 25 - Ebi Tendon Set with bottomless salad, miso soup and rice. Three pieces of takoyaki and a non alcoholic beverage. Everything was absolutely delicious. We also ordered a Kohaku Tendon (16.95) without the set and it was the perfect lunch size for one. I think for what you get, the prices are very reasonable. Service was overall great. When we first got there at 11:30, service was a tad slow as there was so only one server, but later on, there was more when the restaurant was filling up for lunch. I would definitely go back to try other stuff. ”

“ An absolute gem to have in the Burnaby neighbourhood - we are truly blessed to have amazing eateries without having to hike “far”. Again - I am a huge fan of the staff and their kind customer interactions. The only thing I would add is when you’re in the “L” nook of the restaurant it can be sometimes hard to get staff attention (they are usually attentive but obviously sometimes people eat faster than normal, or need more items, etc and just my general feedback from dining here so often and viewing others). The tempura is perfect. It so light and crispy and never leaves you feeling oily or heavy (as it shouldn’t). You can certainly taste elevated quality in their tempura. My favourite is the unagi (eel) and their soft boiled egg. I ask for the sauce on the side so I can control how much I want for each bite. They have regular and spicy or a spicy powder (in a cute wooden box) you can also add for more heat. I’m not sure about the tempura udon (as I think that was seasonal when I last went) but if it’s still on the menu I’d also recommend ordering it! It’s a comforting bowl of goodness and great for warming up. Their chirashi is great for an alternative if you don’t feel like tempura. It is also perfectly seasoned and very light. They have a bowl of half tempura and half chirashi if you’re wanting the best of both worlds. The Nagoya chicken wings are to die for. The sauce is a great mixture of sweet, salt and spice (again can opt for regular or spicy sauce). They’re loaded with flavour and are a perfect appy to add to your table. We had also ordered the kabocha salad which is very hearty and denser than I’d prefer. It isn’t my personal favourite but to each their own! ”

“ Probably the best tempura I’ve ever tasted. If you are looking to eat tempura then this is the place, however, if you are looking to eat something else then don’t come here because there isn’t much other food selection. It is quite filling depending on the type you choose and I think their milk tea is good but not for those who prefer sweeter milk teas. It’s a nice place decorated nicely and service is very good. Overall it’s definitely worth a try! ”
