Tendon Kohaku - Downtown

Super delicious tempura (tendon) rice bowls here! It was a cute place, had a cool upside down wheat ceiling, and the service was great. You just sit down, order on the tablet, and the food comes out. Great little lunch place that you should try out!

Tempura dishes with a pretty good portion for 15 to 20 dollars. Order is done on the tablet and food is served in a short while. The tampuras are crunchy outside and juicy inside. The servers are Japanese and Korean.

Nice spot for tempura. You order from a tablet at your table and the food comes pretty fast. For the tendon, i would recommend adding the soup and cabbage which comes with unlimited refills as well as refills of rice. The spicy tendon sauce is nice and adds a kick to the tendon. The katsu curry was good, but will try an udon dish instead next time. Overall nice spot for a casual meal.

Food: The food was just ok. The tempura tasted like normal but wasn’t crispy. I suggest getting sauce on the side when you order. Salmon chunks in my rice were delicious. My friends thought the food was just okay. Service: You order on an ipad Atmosphere: Nice and cozy lighting. Washroom is a single room. I’m not sure but i don’t think there is an accessible washroom.

Tendon Kohaku is amazing! Everything we had was delicious, and the service was excellent. We ordered the Anago Tendon and Kohaku Tendon, and both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Plus, if you want, they’ll refill your rice and salad, which is a great bonus. Highly recommend this spot for a satisfying meal!

Based on my sister's endorsement, we dined at Tendon Kohaku in downtown Vancouver. Her previous experience with their tendon prompted the recommendation. After checking in at our hotel, we proceeded to the restaurant. We ordered Chawanmushi, a traditional Japanese dish, though its temperature fell short. However, the Kohaku Tendon and Ebi Tendon showcased expertly cooked tempura. The latter included six generously portioned prawns. Due to concerns about raw eggs, we omitted this traditional condiment. The restaurant's atmosphere was inviting, with high ceilings and swift service, catering well to tempura enthusiasts. The rice serving was adequately sized.

The location is great, and the interior is clean and nicely designed. The order system is very convenient. The tempura was crispy, though some pieces had a thicker batter than expected, making the meal quite greasy. I couldn't finish it all due to the grease. Additionally, the eel had a slightly fishy taste, and the chicken tasted a bit off. I'd be interested in trying the curry or udon next time.

A bit on the pricey side... But they have some of the best prawn tempura I have ever tasted. The tonkatsu was on the dry side and the beef rice bowl was decent, but the Nagoya chicken wings were delicious!
