Tempura Abe Honten Review Summary

Stopped in for the smallest dinner set and it was exceptionally delicious. Really nice flavor to the ingredients and the batter was very light. They recommend dipping salts and even a squeeze of lemon, it all goes together nicely. The miso soup in the set was particularly nice.

They were accommodating to our English speaking group, and there’s a menu in English. It’s a small space so it fills up quickly.

Great dinner service! The hostess is an adorable lady ❤️ all were great and kind! The tempura was hot, crispy, but not too oily or cloying. The everything tasted fresh despite being fried. I loved the Red Bean dessert too! This place is one of the best tempura places ive been to (counting everywhere ive been in the world)

Went for lunch but the place fills up pretty fast given it is small. There is an english menu which is nice. We had the tempura course and chose the Tendon. Very delicious. If you want a casual but high quality tempura, this is a good choice

The cutest little tempura spot in Tokyo! We arrived there at 5:30ish and a lovely lady sat us down immediately. However, not long after, many people started coming up and a bit of a wait started to form. The restaurant feels like a family owned business that’s been running for a long time. The service was great, the waitress didn’t seem to know much english but it was still incredibly clear how attentive and welcoming she was, and she did an amazing job at patiently communicating with us about each tempura and what to dip it with. The menu had English (and Chinese I think) which was also a bonus. The food itself is on the middle higher-ish side (around ¥3800-5000 for dinner) but for the quality and portions you get, it’s 100% worth it. The restaurant itself is a little old and on the cosier side- but that’s just the vibe with Tokyo and is something worth experiencing. 11/10 - I highly recommend.

Small restaurant that was busy as soon as it opens. Be aware if you’re a heavy build person. Lunch set was great, truly enjoyed the tempura rice bowl.
