First tried Tenya in Japan and was surprised by the quality of a chain restaurant (but then again it’s Japan😂). Pretty decent for its price, starting at $8.90 for a basic tendon. We went for the premium which came with 2x tempura prawns, squid, kani kama, pumpkin, lotus root and French beans. They were generally lightly battered and not too greasy! Prawns and squid were a tad bland but ok overall especially with the tare. I really enjoyed the sweet pumpkin slice.

I liked that there’s the option of less rice (and it’s 50cents cheaper!). For the hungry/ best of both worlds, you could get the set which comes with rice and udon (+$3 for spicy cold udon).
