  1. Loved the experience here! It really is mindblowing how many michelin tempura there are for Japan but only 1 in the US. I need more variety than omakase and kaisekis over in the US.

  2. ill give you a secret. the top america tempura shop in america is in honolulu hawaii. Tempura Ichika. Would at least rival this place if not exceed it.

  3. Most chefs on BA at the end say get out of here. VS This chef. Thank you for coming. Sorry you have to go now, bye. So polite 😔
