Tempura

“Effortlessly light tempura, standout ingredient sourcing, authentic Japanese attentive service. We had eel, fish, and vegetables we had never eaten.”

“Tempura Matsui is excellent. Best tempura I've ever had.”

“Yaya Tea has my fave for fillings (shumai, crab and shrimp tempura)”

“The tempura was pretty fantastic though. The place was also hot as hell, they either don’t have AC or it wasn’t working that day.”

“The Tempura Chicken Parm at Sesamo is insane. Super crispy, light crust with tender chicken and just the right amount of sauce. It’s a cool Asian-inspired take on a classic that totally works.”

“their Tenpura was one of the best I've ever had.”

“The silver fish tempura, the tamago, anago smoked/seared on pickup, just a perfect meal/place.”

“Totally agree! Whenever I get the chance and have the funds I go there for a splurge, my standard order is rock shrimp tempura, squid pasta and black cod miso. There's a lot of knock-offs of their dishes around now but none quite compare to the real deal.”

“The standout dishes were the Butterfish tempura with miso, the eel, and the japanese crown melon jelly with ice cream dessert. The miso sauce underneath the butterfish was the best tasting component of the entire meal.”

“Odd answer, but the Setagaya on Bedford used to have the absolute best tori tempura with a matcha/soy sauce dip like 8 years ago.”

“They also have some of the best tempura I’ve ever had”

“Another great bite. The sawara was perfect and the tempura batter was wonderful. The sauce on the side was great, balancing richness, acidity, and a bit of spice. A bit too oily though.”

“The dishes that stood out to us the most were the king salmon with braised tomato, scallop with foie gras, and uni and caviar on a tempura shiso. All of the other nigiri courses were great as well, each with its own unique twist.”

“Fantastic. Love their tempura miso soup and sushi.”

“I really, really love the shrimp tempura at Raku. It's a dish that almost literally every Japanese restaurant has, but their batter feels different. It has less of a crunchy and more of a lighter crisp on the outside that just shatters without any Captain Crunch effect on the roof of your mouth.”

“Seconding Nami Nori. fully GF kitchen and their tempura appetizer is soooooo good”

“Their veggie tempura is solid (as is their omakase).”

“Can't say if it's the best but I loved the tempura mushroom medley dish at Gage and Tollner”

“The chicken lolipops, raw bar, shrimp tempura, and a lot of the fun stuff on the appetizers is what id start with.”

“Next up was a shrimp tempura roll which was good on its own a satisfied my monthly sushi craving.”

“I had two onigiris from Japan Village in Industry city, and it was so good!!!! The Karaage and Tempura I cannot get it out of my head.”

“The mushroom tempura ($17) was crispy and a very large portion, served on top of a tangy dipping sauce. This was good.”

“i acutally like the tempura at udon st marks lol”

“I love the shrimp tempura don at Soba Totto on 43rd St.”

“My favorites were the shirao tempura and the sea snail course ($8 addon) - I also added the lobster croquette for $9 which was amazing as well.”

“I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality price, presentation and service. I started with the Sashimi Deluxe and ended with the shrimp tempura based on an overhead recommendation.”

“Some days it might be ginger pork and tempura. Another day it might be grilled fish with two mini hamburgs.”

“Shrimp tempura onigirazu from 969 NYC Coffee”

“Spicy tantan with shrimp tempura or chicken bao lunch special”

“The lunch omakase is a steal for miso soup, 4 pieces of seasonal tempura, 8 nigiri and 1 roll for 45.”
