Tempura Asakusa SAKURA

One of the best Tempura we had in Tokyo. We found out about this place on the Internet & just had to try it. When we arrived at 12.30pm the place was packed and since we did not have a reservation, we were told to come back at 2pm. The wait was worth it as it was one of the best tempura we had in Ja...pan ( the other being SOYOGI in Otaru). Everything was so fresh, the crispiness incomparable and the beef simply melts in your mouth. Service was also excellent and what made it extra special was that they had a Guest Relations service staff that spoke good English and that helped a lot when it came to ordering. A must visit when one is in Tokyo. It us also so convenient as it is just a short walk from Asakusa station.

Very disappointing and poor value. The website made this place look like a serious Japanese tempura restaurant, but what we actually got felt like a tourist sales operation. For the price, I expected real traditional tempura quality and care. That is not what we experienced. The moment we sat down, ...staff pushed us toward the priciest items, which made the whole meal feel awkward from the start. The booking process felt off too. The site builds all this urgency to reserve, but then the cancellation fee makes you feel trapped. The food did not come close to justifying the price. The tempura was oily, the portions were tiny, and the quality was way below what you should get in Japan. The wagyu was okay but lacked flavour, barely had any coating on most of it, and there was nothing memorable to pair it with. Being told rice refills were free felt almost insulting given how small and expensive everything else was. Overall this felt like an expensive tourist trap, not a real tempura restaurant. I wish I had looked beyond their own website. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone wanting authentic, good value tempura in Asakusa.

Small and cosy, everyone was friendly. I ordered seafood tempura which was very tasty and gf safe. We would have liked a chicken option, but settled on vegetarian for our daughter. Friendly staff and excellent food

Our hotel recommended this as a gluten free alternative to a tempura house. No one felt like we were missing anything, it was delicious, service was great and I’d recommend it without hesitation.

What an amazing hidden gem! We were so fortunate that my husband researched to find this quaint restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. It is a small restaurant with fantastic ambiance! Would highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. Th...e tempura dishes were done to perfection.
