It's tendon time! I'm so excited to introduce you to the newest tempura tendon franchise in town, Tenya! Brought to you here directly from Japan by AsiaCulinary Inc., it's the third branch in Indonesia, located at Mall Taman Anggrek's 4th floor. They're opening up really fast in several places at once! Now let's get started with the culinary experience!
I must admit that the space here isn't really big, you can see pretty much every side of the room by these little amount of pictures. Kinda looks more like an eatery or diner rather than a big restaurant. Compact yet comfy!
I always love this kind of showcase. Makes you drool no matter how many times you assure yourselves that these are artificial! Let's make the order A.S.A.P.! Itadakimasu!
CHICKEN & CHORIZO MAYO IDR 50K
Rice with two chicken fillet tempura, one chorizo sausage, sweet corn, and kyuri slices. Served with mayo on top.
If you noticed, their specialty here is tempura bowls, best known as tendon. Kinda reminds me of Donburi Ichiya! Only this one is more specialized on tempura dishes. Gotta admit that for providing deep fried dishes, they are totally killing it! It's not too oily and it tasted light while maintaining a good balance with the richness of their seasonings as well. This one is a great pick!
FISH TENDON IDR 60K
Rice bowl with three fishes tempura of dory, salmon, and carp. Served with sweet potato and long bean tempura
This is my personal favorite! Comes with pretty much my favorite ingredients! The taste of both the salmon and dory were perfect, as well as sweet potato and long beans. My only disappointment was that the carp didn't really meet my expectation as the ingredient was not at prime condition, thus tasted a bit too fishy.

ALL STAR TENDON IDR 65K
Rice bowl with prawn tempura, squid, salmon, crab stick, baby corn, and long beans.
Here comes the star of the show! They were right in saying that this is their specialty. What's a tempura bowl without prawn? You can feel the seafood goodness in one bowl as it contains fish, prawn, squid, and crab all in one! Yum!

SHRIMP KAKIAGE TEMPURA SOBA IDR 80K
Two kakiage tempura filled with prawn, onion chops, and green chili. Served with hot soba and condiments.
While I love their tempura, I must tell you that their soba was not that great. It's a little bit of a disappointment since I had such great expectation for this one! The kakiage was as great as the other, but the overcooked, yet under-seasoned soba killed the show.

Soba
Here's our whole meal for the night! Overall, it was a decent experience but I was also disappointed by their lack of waiters. While the place is full with customers, it is always important to still provide the best service possible, don't you guys think so? Nevertheless, it is a normal syndrome for new restaurants in Indonesia; I get that not everyone has their hotelier major! Hope they'll improve their service quality and the future. After all, congratulations for the opening, Tempura Tendon Tenya!
Gochisousama!
