Tendon Kanekoya Akasaka Review Summary

10/10 delicious food and black bean drink. Stayed near APA hotel and this was short walk for dinner.

Ordered the Tendon Take, get tasty... The fish tasted super fresh and the beer was cold...I would recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delicious Tendon until we add another bowl.

The portion was generous and the food was freshly prepared. The batter was not as crispy as how I liked mine to be, but overall the tendon is amazing. Do go early as there will be a queue during lunch hours

I'm not Japanese and am not a 'connoisseur' of simple Japanese food. But I found this tiny place to be absolutely adorable. The food was delicious and what I thought was a mother-son team was so charming. The older lady worked so hard taking care of the customers, while the son was the chef working behind the counter. The operation was efficient but most importantly so charming and welcoming. Being a foreigner, I received the warmest welcome when I walked in and sat at the counter (I was by myself). They didn't speak English but had an English menu and I only had to point at the picture of the dish I wanted. The lunch was very tasty, a perfect portion. When I left, they both had the biggest and most sincere smiles on their faces as they bid me farewell. They were equally hospitable to the other customers. I will definitely make an effort next time to revisit this most charming tiny eatery. It's not an exaggeration to say that this lunch experience (not just the food) actually made my day (my first day in Tokyo after a red-eye flight).
