This was a late review. We ate last February 2020. What I love about their food is their sushi roll. But for the two rice dishes we ordered, I most like the tonkatsu.

My wife and I had a good meal in this place last 22 December 2019. We enjoyed the sets of food and the assistance of the staff. The very oriental ambiance is great. I just want to recommend securing a better supplier of prawn for the Tempura. The batter mix taste good but the prawn has a little bland taste like it was either put into shelf for a long time or the prawn already lost the sweetness of a sea food (I always experience this in other Japanese food joints). I also cook tempura at home and the taste of the prawn or shrimp I bought in the supermarket or wet market taste always sweet and tender.

This area in Vertis is lined up with a lot of other Japanese restos. Admittedly this wasn’t the top of mind but I guess the 15% off from Citi caught our attention. Considering Vday, the service was fast. Love the second roll (bigger one, forgot the name). Good crunch on the tempura. Service is good too. Just too bad no salmon. Good find! I’ll come back for the salmon.

A fellow Zomato reviewer mentioned that the servings at Tendon Kohaku were big, so I went to find out for myself, and it's true! We ordered the Kohaku Tendon upgraded to multi-grain rice, Vegetable Tendon, and omelet with mentaiko sauce. I'd definitely recommend all of those items! The tempura batter was crunchy and not greasy, the rice was actual Japanese rice, and the omelet was very flavorful. But if you don't like fishy-tasting food, I wouldn't recommend the omelet since the mentaiko (fish eggs) gives it a strong fishy umami taste. The price is also a bit steep for just eggs (P280). The presentation of the tendon is very good. The colorful bowl it's served in makes the all-brown assorted tempura look more inviting to eat. Also, I'd recommend getting the tempura sauce on the side (the spicy sauce is super good!) so that your tempura stays crunchy for longer. Service was also fast and friendly, and the store and restroom were clean. Overall, a good experience!

We got to try Tendon Kohaku as we were looking for a new place to dine at. First of all, the food here is mostly fried (except for their udons) BUT it doesn't feel oily. The outside is really crisp and the inside is flavorful. The rice was a really good compliment for the fried dishes but for the miso soup, I would prefer it to have tofu in it (for a different texture) rather than the bread like thing in the soup. 

Service was also good, keep it up! Will come back

Had dinner with the partner.  The place was clean and well lit.  We ordered the Yakibuta Don, Gyoza, and Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll.  Food was served hot.  Rice quality was very good.  Serving size was good.  Taste was good as well.  Service was friendly.  Price was average.  Will try other items next time.

Very generous amount of food is served, it is impossible to get full here. They also offer unlimited cold or hot tea. The service is great. It has a nice ambiance. Though I think they need to make sure the dining floors are not oily because we customers can feel it. Price is just right.

I recommend their "Kohaku Tendon" for the first timers.

We visited this place after watching Avengers: End Game. I already tried their branch in Uptown BGC and food is very good. But I was kinda disappointed in this branch because food tastes a little different. It is more bland and gyoza is not served hot. Good thing their staff is friendly and attentive. They also have big servings.

We tried their volcano roll, and I had the spicy kohaku tendon with the multigrain rice. The roll was quite nice, it had a big pile of tuna on top of it along with some fish eggs, it's slightly spicy, only qualm might be that the rolls are a bit small. The tempura bowl is a pretty good value I'd say, given the quantity you get. You can definitely get filled up with one of these, though after a while the flavors can all blend together. I liked in particular their chicken breast, as it was perfectly cooked and still moist. Their young corn had a nice flavor. The shrimp was a bit thin and the batter could get thick at times, overall it was okay.

Very good value for money, lots of meat per tendon bowl. It's the first time I've had a tendon bowl that felt like it had more meat than rice. Very flavorful as well. Definitely worth going back to.

Staff/place: adequately ventilated with friendly staff. Place has japanese interior design including background music
Food: Katsudon was crispy that doesn’t have the oily feeling to it. Border lean meat but still very flavorful and yummy. I opted mixed grain rice that does not disappoint and complemented the katsu.. tempura was crunchy and had nice touch of greens. Spicy tuna roll was average with hint of spiciness..
Overall good first time experience

Best. Tempura. Place. Ever. If you're craving for shrimp tempura, this is the place to go to. Sulit na, masarap pa. The place is clean, the servers are courteous, never had bad expetience from this place and i've been here four times in the last three months, and there are still plans of going back in the foreseeable future. Keep up the great food and experience.

We ordered Kohaku Tendon (comes with Miso Soup) and Pork Kimchi Cheese Omelet. Food were delicious and have generous amount of servings. Restaurant has nice ambience and some privacy as there were dividers in between tables / area. Servers were very accommodating and friendly. Fast service.

Serving is good. The sizzling gyoza was yummy, would go back for the gyoza! The tempura was cooked to perfection! Would have given 5 stars of the tempura were bigger! Good ambiance, and very attentive servers!

I have waited long for a branch in Qc to open and when it finally came, I had to dive in and try the infamous Tendon Kohaku. This brand is probably the most popular tendon shop in Singapore and now we have it here!

🌾 Ambiance:

The place is so inviting. Wooden concept done quite nicely to give you that Japan homey feel.

🍱 Food:

We ordered

🍤 Kohaku Tendon which consists of 2 tiger prawns, 2 chicken breasts, squid, kani, green bean, shiitake, young corn and pumpkin
🥗 Wasabi potato salad
🥘 Pork kimchi cheese omelet

The food was superb! The tendon was totally worth it although i found the chicken breasts meat just okay, might need a bit of seasoning on the meat itself. The shiitake was deep fried just right and the prawns have this sweet taste. The salad had a little wasabi kick into it and was so flavourful. The omelet was interesting for me since I really love eggs. The server will mix it for you so the egg doesn't get totally burnt. The kimchi adds texture as it's crunchy while the whole thing is "custardy" with slight burnt eggs tossed in between.

💴 Price:

The tendon is totally worth its price. You get 10pcs of tempura for only 340php. The salad and the omelet are priced on the higher side but I can attest that the salad is worth its 240Php tag price. As for the omelet, it's good to try it out but don't think I'll be ordering that any time soon as there were few pork slices and cuts were big compared to the actual dish.

👩‍🍳 Service:

The staff was really attentive. They always check your tea and water if they're almost done and will offer you refills even without asking.

📌 Extra:

You can ask for extra tendon sauce if you find the sauce on your tendon lacking. No worries, it's free 😋

🤔 Verdict:

Totally enjoyed what we had here and will definitely come back!

Christmas Eve date (late post), we have a reserved movie at Vertis North Cinema and before watching a movie, we have to eat our lunch first. There are still few restaurants available in this mall and we passed by the Japan town and decided to try Tendon Kohaku. Their menu was almost similar to Tenya Tempura Tendon.

We spent P 1,200 here including service charge.

I was so excited when I saw Tendon Kohaku was opening a branch here at Vertis North. I had dinner here with my friends and I ordered the Shrimp tendon which was awesome! The tempura was nice and crispy and it had the right balance between the shrimp and batter. Also the rice was flavorful because of the sauce. And I think it's a clever idea to put the extra bowl as a plating decor so you just have to take it off and put the tempura there so you can eat with ease.

Service is also great! They are very attentive! Would definitely come back here! ❤

So good! We had the dragon roll (450) and their holiday special fuyo tendon (490). They're on the expensive side but the food is worth it. Anyway, their tendon already comes with miso soup and rice so the price is comparable to most Japanese restaurants nowadays.

Tempura for the win! My folks and I enjoyed our dinner here the other day. We ordered tempura, edamame and a few sushi rolls. Will try to be back soon and give a detailed review.

Food: Good. It’s easy to chew ^^,

The staff were very accommodating too. When we visited this place, there’s not much people yet. New added Japanese restaurant in Vertis Mall.
