Obata

Delicious fresh tempura prepared with dedication and served with a smile and explanations about how everything is home-made. Great experience!

A small restaurant where all customers sit around the owner/chef as he prepares delicious tempura. The tempura was varied and of high quality. The restaurant is on the second floor and can therefore be a little bit tricky to find

We didn't expect the experience we got. As recommendation of our hotel, we visited Tempura Obata. Owner was very friendly and made delicious food. Whilst making, he made small talk and made us feel welcome. Other japanese people joined in on the conversation, and we had a very pleasant time. 5/5 sta...rs, must try for everyone who would like to experience japanese food.

My friends and I visited Issei’s restaurant as a group of 6. Our friends were recommended the special travelers (foreigners) set. My friends could not speak more highly of their meal. my Partner and I had the vegetarian options as non-seafood eaters. I have never been more impressed with a vegetaria...n meal! The flavors were so delicious. Despite how full we were ordered extras of the lotus root tempura. The venue is intimate and enjoyed Issei’s hospitality while being entertained by him cooking our meal. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. An absolute standout meal on our 1 month long trip to Japan. Special shout out for the delicious homemade kelp salt!

The food at Obata was exceptional! Delicious light batter on the tempura, and a fantastic range of choices. I would really recommend if you want an authentic Japanese experience! The chef speaks English and is extremely helpful and kind. Thank you Issei-san!
