Why Guests Love Tendon Kohaku

I still dream of this place… some of the most piping hot, fresh, authentic Japanese food we’ve had. I’ve never had tempura this perfectly light and crispy without all of the oil. The staff was welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. This place gets my highest recommendation.
