Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

There was something about TenJin that drew us in despite its oddly conspicuous but equally hidden location. When we finally gave them a try, we were pleasantly surprised at how calming the ambience inside was. You feel like you are getting transported to a mom and pop restaurant in Tokyo as you grab one of the classic meal options. Particular standouts were the maki, sukiyaki and tempura dishes, but everything we had was great. We also brought our nephew along β€” a picky eater who was equally pleased with his tempura dinner. Service was very personal and intimate. We felt like we were being fed inside their home. How lucky are we to have a place like this that we can keep coming back to!

This was a fun little gem to find while in the area on a work trip. The staff was polite and quick. The food was so fresh and delicious. I had the edamame to start followed by their nigiri sushi options. 100% would recommend to anyone. The fish was so fresh and clean tasting, and the bottle of saki I had paired perfectly. Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you this is a top place for sushi and Japanese cuisine.

First time visit. Made a last-minute reservation on Toast and was seated immediately. Sushi was excellent and you can taste fresh ingredients and fresh fish. Smaller roll and portion sizes. Food is slightly expensive but worth the handmade quality and service you get. Will come earlier next time since the kitchen closed before we could order more! Slightly limited parking in back.

Favorite sushi restaurant on the North side! The quality of their fish cannot be matched. Always fresh and delicious. I have a sesame allergy that they go above and beyond to accommodate. The wine list is great too with monthly features and happy hour options!

This place amazing! Great service, fresh sushi and good prices. I went with a patient of mine in a wheelchair and they were more than happy to accommodate his needs. I wish I took a picture of the Dragon roll and bento 🍱 I assure you won't be disappointed!
