TEMPURAYAMANOUEGINZA

Sorry would not go. One finger sized Tempura was 2,200. Barely any batter. Huge regret. They saw hard to get a table. But was empty.

Tempura Yamanoue is a well-known hotel restaurant that recently opened a new branch at Ginza Six. Although situated inside a shopping mall, the spacious tempura house is casual but still with class. There are counter seats as well as long tables for big parties. The minimally decorated restaurant... allows diners to enjoy freshly made tempura without distractions and restrictions. Service is exceptional. Servers are friendly, helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable about their menu. Tempura dishes are not only hot and fresh, the tempura batter is light and crispy. Ingredients such as shrimps, lotus and mushrooms are superb and of high quality. Lunch sets are reasonably priced from JPY 6,000/person to JPY 12,000/person, and are quite fulfilling.

Located on the top floor of a Ginza building, some city views of you sit at the table. Sitting at the bar you can enjoy the chefs making your food. The oil is changed after every serving, so no strange smells or anything like that. Fresh, light, good quality. Set menu is the best option. The food co...mes one by one, so you eat slowly by definition, which is a healthy thing to do. Set me yes are between 8-12’yen. So, it’s anything but fast food. Our lunch took less than an hour. Enjoyed. Yes, not cheap, like everything else in this city.

After reading some reviews here, I want to say something about these famous Tempura joints. They are not cheap and tempura is an art form. They also don't expect you to order a la carte and while their course menus are not cheap, they are reasonable. Lunch is also always cheaper so go for their l...unches if you have to stick with a budget. Since we had a large party, we were told in advance we had to pre-order, which was reasonable. Since we had some elderly family members, they were flexible enough to allow us to only pre-order six 8000 JPY course menu. In the end, we were hungry enough and added two 12,000 JPY course menus, and also ordered some oyster tempura, which was delicious. However, if you are not a fish fan, I will not come here for dinner because all courses will involve fish and some types of eel. I will just come for lunch ordering one of the Ten Dons (tempura over rice) and adding a few a la carte items. While I have better tempura experience, the location of this restaurant, Tempura Yamanoue Ginza, is excellent that I won't hesitate to come back for lunch.

Went there on the recommendation of our hotel staff, turns out it’s average taste but at usd400 it’s not so worth it.
