The food at Tempura Kondo is characterized by its freshness and cleanliness, with a thin and light tempura coating that's not greasy in the slightest. The tendon with sweet sauce is particularly tasty.

The seafood ingredients are fresh and meticulously prepared before being fried. The Anago (conger eel) is a standout with perfect frying temperature.
