Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr

Good

Japanese food is one of my favorite cuisines so I always up to try one when I can. Looking for a good one when I was in this area and saw this one with good review. We were not hungry so thought that light items like tempura and sashimi sounds like a good idea. However, consider that tempura is their main item, it's just OK. Not memorable. The batter is not crisp & light with flakes like how tempura batter should be. We also order a bowl of sake-don (salmon over rice) and the rice did not seem to be a flavored sushi rice, just plain white rice. The service was not great. There were only two tables at that time as it was early before lunch crowd. However, the three servers at the time seemed to be in a bad mood and annoyed.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch! The donburi was tasty, and they also excel at tempura soba combo. Great place!

Best tempura in LA

My new favorite soba place! ONE OF THE BEST IN THE USA.

I came here to order takeout. Miku greeted me and took my order promptly. She was friendly and personable. My food was packed well for travel. This was the first time I ordered takeout. Food was delicious as expected and a nice variety of tempura.
