Comes with miso soup and a mini chawanmushi. Tempura includes prawns, salmon, scallop, squid, long bean, mushroom and white fish. The tempura were not too oily and didn have any smelly oil taste. The fish was still tender and not dry. The portion was just nice too. They have a bottle of tempura sauce on the table which u can add on if u like.
Was walking around to decide what to eat before stumbling on this tendon place.
We were being served chawamushi first before getting our mains. The Tempura is not oily which make it healthy.
Quite worth the money too
I have been visiting Ginza Tendon for many years now. First introduced to me by a friend, I have since brought my family and numerous friends, all of whom have loved it. The prices remain affordable, and the portion sizes have been consistently generous.
Ginza Tendon offers a variety of options to suit different preferences, from vegetable-only dishes to seafood and pork lovers options. My personal favourite is their speciality mix, which includes a delightful assortment of vegetables, mushrooms, juicy chicken breast, and ebi prawn, all expertly battered and fried. I do not know how they do it, but their eggs are always cooked to runny perfection.
The accompanying sauce is exceptional, and I always spam it over the rice. Every set also comes with authentic miso soup and chawanmushi. Additionally, they offer rare Japanese sodas in a wide variety of flavours.
Weekends and Friday nights can be quite busy, and they do not take reservations. To avoid long waits, the best advice is to arrive early. ๐
I had this bowl with Spicy sauce and it was yummy except the chicken was dry. Will avoid the meats. Stick to seafood.
Each tendon, otherwise known as tempura donburi, also comes inclusive of miso soup and chawanmushi. The ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐บ๐๐๐ต๐ถ is silky smooth, apparently a result of using more yolks, and perfectly seasoned.

Back at my favourite tendon restaurant and their Special Mix Tendon bowl ($14.90) once again made both my heart and stomach happy!
There was a variety of ingredients, from prawn to chicken breast to an assortment of vegetables. All of them were well fried, as the batter wasn't too thick and it didn't taste too oily. The fried egg was gooey and was perfect with rice and some shoyu sauce ๐
My favourite tempura pieces got to be the prawn tempura, as it was huge and succulent within ๐
Do take note that there is a queue almost all the time! Do expect about at least 30 minutes wait during peak hours ๐
Not my 1st time and it wonโt be my last either! Anytime is a good time for this seafood tendon bowl with a dash of spice. So fresh and the crisp is just right. The variety of seafood choices were amazing - salmon, prawns, fish, squid โฆ yummy!
Good as always, tempura prawn is good and the pieces of fish are substantial and fresh.
Generous portions at this price point with the special mix including 2 chicken breast, 2 prawns, long beans, eggplant, mushroom, and onsen egg. Lightly battered, the tendon stands out in being crispy yet not too greasy or fried with the natural flavours of the ingredients coming through. All were fresh, especially the juicy prawns. The chicken breast was thinly pounded for a larger crisp ratio but did wish for juicier meat.
After years of passing by and seeing a queue, finally gave them a try. Overall, a good-value and authentic tendon bowl that met expectations but didnโt wow. The tendon could do with slightly more crisp and flavour (definitely recommend asking for chilli for extra spicy kick and perhaps extra sauce would do the trick). Do eat the bowl warm and fast as it gets soggy pretty fast as well. Bonus points to the free side of smooth chawanmushi, miso soup, and refreshing salad served with each bowl.
๐Ginza Tendon Itsuki, 101 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore
I've always loved Japanese food and that includes the crispy savoury deliciousness of tempura. The last time I've had proper tempura was at Tendon Kohaku and having constantly walked by Ginza Tendon Itsuki by the famed Keisuke brand, I was definitely down for more Tendon.
Going for their Special Mix option, Ginza's Tendon bowl was filled to the brim with tempura prawns, succulent chicken breasts, a mix of vegetables including a piece of shiitake and to top it all of - an onsen egg. What more can I say, this was a hella good bowl of Tendon. Not to mention the dainty complimentary chawanmushi appetizer it came with.
Definitely a good bang for your buck and Keisuke surely impresses again.
Queued 1 hour for this, and it's worth the wait. We got the Seafood Tendon ($17.90) which had very fresh seafood ingredients like white fish, salmon, prawns and scallop. All of them were very well fried as the batter isn't too soggy. The portion is huge as well! The sides are not to be missed, as the mini chawamushi given was actually one of the best ones I've had so far. Will visit again!
Hands down the best tendon in Singapore! Very generous portions for such an affordable price!! 2 huge prawns, 2 chicken breast, half boil egg, 4 pc vegetables. The sauce is rly good too!
While I find the tendon value for money, I was sitted near the frying area & smelled like grease!! I don't appreciate that!! If something is not right with the ventilation pls get it fixed! Have to say the service is awesome! Definitely appreciate the mini chawanmushi & miso soup. Major plus point for the soup not being diluted & still taste good despite me leaving it until it was cold. I will only come back if I've a craving for tendon.
Food: portion was big, food had a lot of flavour!!
Service: food took a while to arrive, but there was chawanmushi appetiser which made it worth the wait :)
Amount: $14.40
Let's talk about the pros
The food is tasty. The sauce is delicious.
It's really value for money. The portions are generous. They gave a piece of salmon, 2 pieces of white fish, 2 prawns a scallop and 2 pieces of veggie. Within that bowl. On top of that the small chawamushi is done perfectly, the side dish of pickled cabbage is decent and a bowl of decent miso soup. The quality is quite good.
The cons
The rice is abit hard,
The food is fried on the spot but you got to eat it fast because it can turn soggy quickly. I would like to suggest giving the option of serving the sauce and fried foods separately. But I think that might also give the staff more work to do.
Overall I think this place is worth eating. I am already getting tasty, large portions at this price. It would be too much to keep asking for more frills.
This is singapore, it isn't Japan so I do know that the staff need to work within limitations especially in times of covid-19.
