Generous portions at this price point with the special mix including 2 chicken breast, 2 prawns, long beans, eggplant, mushroom, and onsen egg. Lightly battered, the tendon stands out in being crispy yet not too greasy or fried with the natural flavours of the ingredients coming through. All were fresh, especially the juicy prawns. The chicken breast was thinly pounded for a larger crisp ratio but did wish for juicier meat.
After years of passing by and seeing a queue, finally gave them a try. Overall, a good-value and authentic tendon bowl that met expectations but didn’t wow. The tendon could do with slightly more crisp and flavour (definitely recommend asking for chilli for extra spicy kick and perhaps extra sauce would do the trick). Do eat the bowl warm and fast as it gets soggy pretty fast as well. Bonus points to the free side of smooth chawanmushi, miso soup, and refreshing salad served with each bowl.

I've always loved Japanese food and that includes the crispy savoury deliciousness of tempura. The last time I've had proper tempura was at Tendon Kohaku and having constantly walked by Ginza Tendon Itsuki by the famed Keisuke brand, I was definitely down for more Tendon.
Going for their Special Mix option, Ginza's Tendon bowl was filled to the brim with tempura prawns, succulent chicken breasts, a mix of vegetables including a piece of shiitake and to top it all of - an onsen egg. What more can I say, this was a hella good bowl of Tendon. Not to mention the dainty complimentary chawanmushi appetizer it came with.
Definitely a good bang for your buck and Keisuke surely impresses again.
Hands down the best tendon in Singapore! Very generous portions for such an affordable price!! 2 huge prawns, 2 chicken breast, half boil egg, 4 pc vegetables. The sauce is rly good too!

home to affordable tendons, i can safely say, it was definitely worth the 50 minute wait.
we ordered the seafood tendon bowl with spicy sauce (top up $1) and it comes with chawanmushi and miso soup too! ($17.90++, 2nd & 3rd pic) i was pleasantly surprised as the bowl included salmon, scallop and squid tempura! i thought it was extremely unique!
overall, the tempura held its crunch and didn’t get soggy despite me taking pics first (hahaha) each ingredient was extremely juicy and cooked to perfection (including the chicken breast which wasn’t dry at all!!!!) everything was so easy to eat and honestly sooo filling! the spicy sauce acted as a good kick at the start but got a lil too spicy for me towards the end so do take note for those with a lower spice tolerance!
very very happy with the dishes and the ambience (i felt like i was in japan again!) the main thing to note: do make sure to go early to queue! i queued from 6.20 pm til 7.10 pm and once we finished our dinner (about 8.10 pm) we came out and the queue was even longer! (their last order is 10pm)
despite the queue, i will 100% definitely be back!! 🤤

i was blown away by the quality received for the price. we ordered the special mix tendon with normal sauce ($14.90++, 1st & 4th pic)! each tendon bowl comes with chawanmushi and miso soup.

Huge bowl of goodness with 2 chicken breast, 2 Ebi fry, tempura vegetables and the best part - oozing egg!
& the set comes with chawamushi and miso soup!
Took almost an hour to queue and enter.
🌟 7/10 - Portion size is worth it, but queue is long and tendon could be crispier though.
Chicken thigh, chicken breast, shimeji shiitake mushroom, vegetables (2 pcs) & half-boiled egg. We also paid $1 more to upgrade it to the spicy tendon sauce! We loved this! They were really generous w the rice & the tendons. The tendons were also crispy & not soggy, so there was a satisfying crunch whenever we bit into it - what we always look for when we eat tendon! The chicken was also tender & not dry! We prefer the spicy tendon sauce to the normal one bc it gave an extra kick to the dish, which we really enjoyed. The egg was also perfectly poached, so the rice was coated in the glorious egg yolk. Each bowl of tendon also came w miso soup & chawamushi + a salad so it’s really value for money. Highly recommended! Heard that the queue is always long for this outlet but we went at like 12pm on a Saturday & we only waited for 5 mins before we were seated! 👍🏼
There's always a queue here during meal time so we decided to give it a try. After 30mins wait, we finally managed to get in. It's a small place and due to the pandemic, they restricted the number of peoole dining in. We ordered special tendon, which consist of vegetables and chicken breast. The chicken breast is soft and not dry at all. Tempura is still my favourite item. The portion of rice is not a lot. Overall, hmm personal rating 3/5?
I liked the flavour of the tempura! Also appreciated that they didn’t drown it in sauce and they have a separate sauce bottle for you to choose how much sweet tempura sauce you want to put in. Enjoyed my meal and will be back again! The one downside is the lack of options, as the menu only gives you 2 options: this special tendon and the vegetable tendon. If only they had more options and combinations of tempura!
😍😋👍🏼
