Vegetarian Tempura Restaurants

Great service for foreigners

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.

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.

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

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.

Charming and delightful setting with excellent service and food. We enjoyed traditional Kyoto cuisine in a private tatami room.

Incredible local cuisine and friendly, hospitable staff

Amazing food

Chef Kouichirou Shimura is a guide that leads you in a world of delicacy and amazing food. Great experience!

Excellent dining experience built around the Hokkaido crab.

Great lunch set. Everything was super fresh and service was exceptional.

I had the most delicious tempura I’ve ever tasted at Tempura Ono. Every piece is crafted to maximize the natural flavors of the ingredients, allowing you to truly savor their essence. My absolute favorite was the tempura mochi with fried small shrimp. Wrapped in fragrant shiso and crispy dried seaweed, it’s meant to be eaten by hand, creating a perfect combination of textures and flavors.
