Tenjin Japanese Restaurant

When I was a child, I always thought Renga-Tei is where rich folks went out to eat Japanese food. This place hasn’t changed in decades, and in many ways, that is why it is still popular. They still take reservations only by phone and are written in a notebook. Their dishes from bento boxes to sake probably have been prepared the same way since I was a child. It’s not trendy, nor is it flashy or fancy. Just solidly good food with excellent service. Update: first time visiting since the name change. The old Renga-Tei was quite good. But the new Tenjin modernized the old and continues the excellent tradition. If it’s on the special menu, it’s worth getting. Even miso udon had unforgettable broth with perfectly cooked egg and tofu skin. Service is as good as ever. So glad to see this transformation.

Their food definitely reminded us of Japan. We went there last year and their food matched the same taste and quality that you would get in Japan. Not too salty either. I always go for their sushi and miso soup. The only thing I wished they had better of, was their hojicha tea - wished it was stronger like it is in Japan. Other than that, I’ll come back to try some more stuff on the menu :)

Absolutely Delicious & Great Service – A Must for (Monday’s) All Day Bento! We came on Monday night (Bento Night), and it was absolutely superb! If you visit, Monday is the day to come—they serve Bento Boxes all day, and they do not disappoint. Food: 5/5 Everything we ordered was delicious, well-portioned, and beautifully presented. Tempura (Appetizer or Entree) – A Must-Order! Perfectly crispy, light, and not greasy at all. Hands down, some of the best tempura I’ve had. No complaints! Dinner Combination – Beef & Chicken Teriyaki (5/5 ) Even though it was on the pricier side (36), the portion was huge—my boyfriend and I easily shared it. The teriyaki sauce was light and flavorful, and the tempura stole the show. (Vegetarian) Tempura Bento (5/5 ) The staff was super accommodating in swapping out meat dishes for vegetarian options, and they even had vegetarian tempura sauce—a fantastic surprise! The side of potato/macaroni salad was creamy, eggy, and absolutely delicious. Portions were generous. Sashimi Bento Box (5/5 ) The fish was incredibly fresh, and while it came with six pieces of sashimi, the overall bento box portion was filling. The miso soup and salad complemented the meal perfectly. Service: 5/5 The staff was courteous, pleasant, and very accommodating, especially with our vegetarian requests. They made sure everything was to our liking. Ambiance: 5/5 Monday night was quiet, making for a peaceful dining experience. The restaurant was clean and cozy, perfect for a family dinner or date night. The fresh flowers on each table were such a thoughtful touch, and the tableware was adorable and high-quality. Final Thoughts While prices are on the higher side, the quality, portion sizes, and service absolutely make it worth it. We’ll definitely be coming back—especially on a Monday for Bento Night!

My family and I have been here several times, even before the name was changed. Everything that we order is always delicious. The nigiri sushi is very fresh. You can't go wrong with the combination dinner plates, but I think the Prix Fixe is great for getting a lot more of a variety of smaller dishes. All of the desserts are really good, but the Butter Mochi A La Mode is to die for

Wonderful restaurant for a delicious Japanese meal. Their menu covers sushi, teriyaki, tempura, and the flavors are delicious. This is a great place to take folks new to Japanese cuisine but also offers some flavors for more adventurous eaters too. Staff are knowledgeable, warm, and helpful. Decor is relaxing and lovely. You will feel well taken care of here and you are bound to find something for most everyone on the menu. Highly recommend the panko salmon, the rainbow roll, and the butter mochi for dessert.

Local Gem. 9.5/10. Fantastic food, as well as fresh ingredients, attentive service, quiet, nice, and chill atmosphere. I always sit by the sushi bar, sushi chef Buya is the guy you looking for.

I stopped by Tenjin for lunch. The place is clean and has a calm, welcoming vibe. I ordered Nabayaki udon, it was good and beautifully presented, with great flavors that really stood out. Service was friendly and efficient—perfect for a lunch break. Definitely coming back again!

Food is delicious. We enjoyed! We ordered the special set which is very good price and have variety of items. We like the teriyaki sauce. Kid menu is good and our kid loves the chicken, tempura and ice cream. We will find time to go try more items, they have so much choices.
