About

Tendon Kohaku is a hit for those craving crispy, light tempura and generous portions. Many diners love the value and the Hokkaido milk ice cream, which is a total crowd-pleaser. However, the service can be hit-or-miss, with some guests finding the tablet-ordering system impersonal or the staff unhelpful during busy times. While the food is generally seen as a solid bang for the buck, consistency in quality and service remains a point of contention for regulars.
