A new contender in the tendon space, Tempura Tenten distinguishes itself with offerings such as tendon with unagi (Unatendon) and truffle rice.

The Unatendon, at $19.80, is really good value. It comes with prawn, pumpkin, mushroom, green bean, seaweed, and meatball (with an oozing cheese filling) tempura, along with a pretty big slice of unagi. I picked the original sauce over the other two choices: yuzu pepper and spicy.

I’ve seen other reviews saying that the tempura was on the oily side, but I didn’t think so and was satisfied with the crispiness. However, there was too much sauce on the rice which made it a bit salty. Maybe a bigger portion of rice would’ve helped!

If tendon isn’t your kind of thing (although I don’t see why that would be), the restaurant also serves ramen.

All in all, definitely worth a try. Doesn’t beat the ever popular Tendon Ginza Itsuki though.
