Tendon Ginza Itsuki (Tanjong Pagar)

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.

Stall name:
Tendon Ginza Itsuki

Impressions:
Popular place along Tanjong Pagar Road with a perpetual queue.

Lot's of ingredients on the tendon, including two chicken breasts, two prawns, two kinds of mushroom, one half-boiled egg, two stalks of long beans, and a slice of eggplant.

Tempura shell isn't shatteringly crispy as it was covered in a sticky sweet-savoury sauce, but the meat were well-fried, especially the chicken breasts which was nice and moist despite being thinly sliced.

Rice isn't exactly fluffy but this is less than $15 so something's got to give. Overall decent quality, good value for money and it fills you up.

Rating:
8 / 10

Verdict:
✅Will return✅
I guess it's okay
Meh
Not going back

Notes:
This restaurant practice open frying and the ventilation isn't top-notch, so be prepared to smell like a walking tempura after your meal.

home to affordable tendons, i can safely say, it was definitely worth the 50 minute wait.

we ordered the seafood tendon bowl with spicy sauce (top up $1) and it comes with chawanmushi and miso soup too! ($17.90++, 2nd & 3rd pic) i was pleasantly surprised as the bowl included salmon, scallop and squid tempura! i thought it was extremely unique!

overall, the tempura held its crunch and didn’t get soggy despite me taking pics first (hahaha) each ingredient was extremely juicy and cooked to perfection (including the chicken breast which wasn’t dry at all!!!!) everything was so easy to eat and honestly sooo filling! the spicy sauce acted as a good kick at the start but got a lil too spicy for me towards the end so do take note for those with a lower spice tolerance!

very very happy with the dishes and the ambience (i felt like i was in japan again!) the main thing to note: do make sure to go early to queue! i queued from 6.20 pm til 7.10 pm and once we finished our dinner (about 8.10 pm) we came out and the queue was even longer! (their last order is 10pm)

despite the queue, i will 100% definitely be back!! 🤤

i was blown away by the quality received for the price. we ordered the special mix tendon with normal sauce ($14.90++, 1st & 4th pic)! each tendon bowl comes with chawanmushi and miso soup.

Special mix bowl consisted of assorted tempura veggies, 2 tempura prawns & 2 tempura chicken breasts w a half-boiled egg. We opted for a bowl with the special spicy tendon sauce (top up of $1) & one with the normal sauce. Portion size was generous as it also came w a chawamushi & miso soup. The tendons itself were really crispy & fresh & the half-boiled egg was cooked to perfection. Still our fav tendon place so far! 🤩👍🏼

Huge bowl of goodness with 2 chicken breast, 2 Ebi fry, tempura vegetables and the best part - oozing egg!

& the set comes with chawamushi and miso soup!

Took almost an hour to queue and enter.

🌟 7/10 - Portion size is worth it, but queue is long and tendon could be crispier though.
