Worth booking far in advance - wonderful dining experience. The white asparagus tempura - wow Their special sweet potato - order it! Ever course was a mouthful of delight. Kondo is respected around the world - His restaurant is bucket list experience. Sashimi and traditional end of meal rice is fab...ulous too!

For a two Michelin star restaurant that specialises in tempura, our experience was very average. The team were reserved and uncommunicative, the food was boring and certainly no better than any of a hundred other average Tokyo tempura establishments. Why bother!

Wow, the food is incredible here - I've been to a few tempura specialty places in Tokyo and this one is the best. My one warning to you - it is a LOT of food, especially if you order their most premium package of courses. I might suggest doing one of the smaller ones - we didn't know how to judge th...e amount of food, so just ordered the one with the most courses and frankly left a lot of food uneaten, which is a shame given the amount of care and work they put into preparing the food.

The first red flag was when I entered the elevator to Tempura Kondo. The restaurant is on the 9th floor, and I could smell the grease as soon as the elevator doors opened on the ground floor. It only got worse once I was in the restaurant. The same batter is used for everything, and the only seasoni...ngs throughout the entire meal were salt, a slice of lemon, and a basic tempura dipping sauce. Every single item I was served dripped grease. It was the worst meal I had during 5 weeks of traveling in Japan, and by far the most expensive. It is incomprehensible that this place has 2 Michelin stars. When I got back to my hotel room after the meal I had to wash my blouse in the sink because it reeked of grease.
