After an exhausting day at Disneyland, we went here for dinner as boyfriend always wanted to try it and the location was a bit far for us.天丼 Tenya is a huge chain of restaurants from Japan offering a fast food style tempura don experience. A bit like Yoshinoya but for fans of fried food. They have three branches in Hong Kong but this was their first one.The store even has a figure of the mascot.Menu is in Chinese only. There is no English. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code which is also in
天丼 Tenya is a huge chain of restaurants from Japan offering a fast food style tempura don experience. A bit like Yoshinoya but for fans of fried food. They have three branches in Hong Kong but this was their first one.
The store even has a figure of the mascot.
Menu is in Chinese only. There is no English. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code which is also in Chinese. However, the menu has photos of all the food. You can choose your tempura served in a donburi or as set with a bowl of rice or noodle.
Boyfriend had the Shrimp and Conger Eel Tendon ($88). There was also pumpkin, shitake mushroom, imitation crab stick and green beans. It looked impressive but once biting in, there wasn't much flavour. And some of them were a bit soft. The shrimp was not crisp enough so you couldn't eat the tail. The conger eel was a bit too mushy. The only stand out was the imitation crab stick.
This came with a bowl of miso soup. It was ok.
Boyfriend added Tempura Sweet Potato ($12). The menu said there should be two but when it arrived there was three. Unsure why. Perhaps the size was a bit small? But these weren't very good. Not too sweet and a bit too oily.
I had the Tempura with Cold Soba ($86).
My set of tempura was the same as boyfriend except I didn't have conger eel and had two smaller shrimp. It also came with a tempura sauce.
The soba was ok but portion size was a bit smaller than other tempura places I've been to.
For a fast food place, it wasn't very good. I've been to the one in Japan and this is a far cry from the one there. Won't really be back as there are better tempura don places in Hong Kong.
