Tempura Restaurants

We had the best tempura meal we’ve ever had. Everything was prepared and seasoned perfectly. The batter was not what we would have expected and was light and complimented each course well. The fruit drinks were delicious. We enjoyed our conversation with the chef as well. As soon as we were done I told my friend who would be visiting Tokyo soon this was a must try meal. Would highly recommend for anyone.

2nd time going back to my favorite Unagi place.... They were able to bump up my time and the food is always spot on.

Fantastic crew, great food, highly recommended

We had a wonderful time at Sushi Tempura Gion Iwai. The introductory dinner was delicious and we were well sated by the end of the evening. The two very friendly chefs were deft in their skills and, though the language barrier was there, we were able to find out what we were eating! These staff was also very friendly. One comment…. This restaurant was very difficult to find, especially as its name is not well marked, at least for those of us who do not speak Japanese. When we did find it—on the second floor of the building—we were still not sure we had the right place, again the language barrier. And until I gave them my confirmation papers, they were not sure about us either! All in all I very much recommend dining here.

Excellent tempura experience

Absolutely one of the best food experiences of my life!

This is a fabulous restaurant- great ingredients with wonderful preparation. Among the best!

Food was fantastic light, fresh and not greasy exactly what tempura should be. Both chefs and servers are friendly and polite and made me feel welcome despite me not speaking Japanese.

Very generous amount of courses and tasty fresh food.You will definitely not go home hungry!

Everything was excellent. They also explained how you should eat each piece which was nice. The homemade ice-cream was a perfect end to the meal

Seriously good, authentic Japanese cuisine, met my Japanese high standard. Not those attitude “no foreigner please” restaurant. Friendly and welcoming. Waiters were rather new? And forgot to explain some items (salts dip or source dip?) but I would definitely go back.

Fantastic meal and friendly staff and chef. English speaking. Highly recommended.
