I just stop by the other day there for a late lunch. The foods are great. The server is very sweet. The price is affordable. I work around here sometime. It is good to have a nice place like this next to my job. Will definitely come back here.

First time. Amazing food. Delicious !!!oishidesne!!!! The crispy rice tuna is definitely the crispiest ive ever had and the tuna melts in your mouth, brussels were great and the tempura roll was a recommendation from the waiter, which did turn out to be my favorite and filling! Im coming back!!!!

High quality sushi spot! I’ve only gotten takeout, but would definitely go back and dine in and try other things. Service was friendly and they got my order out really quickly. Nice to have nearby!

This is the best meal I've had in years. The short ribs are insane. The miso soup and crispy tuna are exceptional. Atmosphere is 4.5/5 ONLY bc I'm scared they'll lose out on business from the lack of street presence. The actual vibe while dining is 5/5.

We are soooo lucky to have Tenzo!!! Every single dish is a hit!!! Some of our faves include the cucumber salad, green salad, tuna triangle, oishi sushi, black miso cod and literally everything

Excellent food & great service Highly recommend

Actually so delicious, dare I say the best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to in the past few years in Brooklyn??? Will definitely go again

Love this place. Food is 10/10. Service is great. They have great sake.

great new local! service attentive and efficient. fish was fresh and we enjoyed everything! looking forward to visiting again

Food is amazing and service is excellent! SO glad to finally have a sushi spot in the neighborhood!

Food was fantastic! I had the fried pork, short rib and vegetable roll. Priced very well.

So good!! Double tuna role and the udon were amazing

Christmas decorations are so cute!!

Really lovely local spot! The neighbourhood needed sushi. This does the trick! Wonderful.

Incredible fish quality. Melt in your mouth! Great new addition to the neighborhood.

Delicious Japanese “tapas” in a laid-back setting - would absolutely return!

unbelievably tasty and not overpriced !!!

Excellent quality food, reasonable prices. This place is a hit!

Tasty, authentic, high quality Japanese food.

Great neighborhood spot! Good food and great service!

Great food, great vibe. Japanese cheesecake 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Great sushi, high quality fish

It was all very good and fresh! Attentive service.

The food is very good.

Super tasty, fresh and reasonably priced Japanese offerings. The broiled Mackerel was fatty and fantastic, the salmon don was light and delicious, but the star of the show was the smashed cucumbers! So refreshing! The miso soup was good too (those sensitive to salt beware) but overall I throughly enjoyed my meal and will make this a staple in my dining rotation. Shoutout to our lovely waitress/hostess holding it down with a smile while she seemingly runs the restaurant, great work all around.

I’ve had great dinners here both with takeout and dining in, and now they’ve added a super reasonably priced lunch menu for the weekends too! Can’t wait to try those lunch bowls / bento boxes. My favorites have been the shrimp tempura rolls, mackerel, short rib, and udon. Only suggestion would be to somehow raise awareness of their takeout offering, hopefully that’d help increase their business presence in the neighborhood.

Went the first week it opened and so they were still working out some pacing issues, but the servers were really nice and the food was delicious. Really glad to have such a high quality Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood and the prices were surprisingly decent for the caliber of food they offered. Will definitely be going back here instead of ordering sushi for delivery!

We ordered the brussel sprouts, spicy tuna roll, pork belly noodles, and miso cod. All the plates were lovely. I wouldn't say any one dish stood out but all of them were well prepared and delicious. The total for dinner was about $70 for two, so not unreasonable. We will be returning.

Only in NYC can you recall once upon a time moons ago working in the same actual space as Toukouleur Cafe- and frequenting it later regularly as "Oaxaca tacos", and then years later only to return and stumble upon super "oishii" (tasty) local yumminess round 3! AGAIN! The term 'izakaya' is a fusion of 'i' (to stay) and 'sakaya' (sake shop) so we did just that- small plates tapa style and ideal to bring a partner in crime to try more- and otherwise "izayaka" typically described as a local food tavern / pub- but hands down appeasing our hungry palettes and and certainly plan to go back! Taste and enjoy... slowly! We got super lucky that on a Saturday night after 7 there was a table for 2 as walk-ins! Admitting I've tried making Takoyaki at home (still work in progress), but soooo tasty here (main pic) as was the grilled hamachi collar ( yellowtail collar aka "fish cheeks"- portion behind the gills that I don't see often & loved when I lived in LA near LIttle Tokyo- and could find more regularly), pork belly mazemen (comes on a bed of ramen), softshell crab roll, seaweed salad and - and well, I'm usually too excited partaking to take pics, but just sharing a few here for good measure. Staff was busy and for such a small crew working small plates- and doing so much- yet super nice and friendly! Definitely hope to go back myself for the sashimi and rolls- and for dinner again with my honey to share and try the blue fin tuna rib, short rib, and Karaage (fried chicken)... and meanwhile simply confirming how much dinner last night hit the spot- SUCH a nice treat- and ready to return for round 2! 😍🙏🏽

This casual izakaya was perfect for our friendly dinner. The food was fire and affordable, and their staff were friendly and attentive. The guy I went with who I was visiting moved into the neighborhood recently, and was very happy to find this spot and said he would be frequenting this place often. 🫶🏼

Came here for a date. Their service is top notch. Food arrived fast and everything tasted amazing. The hamachi collar is a must try

Did you just return from a Japan trip and now you feel depressed? 😔 Come here and get some chicken katsu curry and mochi while staring at posters of Mt. Fuji and know you’ll be alright 👍

Very attentive and kind staff. Good coffee. I had the shrimp and avocado on gluten free bread with a very creamy sauce that was delicious. This was my first time here and didn’t know what to expect. I definitely am looking forward to coming back for dinner to try other menu items. Their breakfast menu is very unique not just having the traditional egg menu. So, if you want a yummy breakfast, good coffee and great wait staff then go here.

Incredible food, flawless service, and a cozy, authentic atmosphere. The sushi was fresh, the ramen rich and flavorful, and the staff were kind and attentive. Easily one of the best Japanese dining experiences—5 stars!

Bed stuy is in need of more food options and this is an all-around great addition to the neighborhood! Fresh fish, tasty, affordable plus friendly staff, comfortable seating, and warm n clean environment! Also great for solo dining (: Our favorites were the spicy tuna crispy rice and rock shrimp (a la Nobu)! Only grumbling I might have and not really haha is that they seem to season w less sugar (I feel that Japanese food is usually on the sweeter side esp on glazes like for a tsukune) which hey is great for those watching their sugar intake! Can’t wait to dine in or get take out again! 🍙🍣🍱🥢

Really great dinner. Salmon carpaccio, mackerel, and tsukune were amazing!

The fish is fresh and tasty, the service is attentive, the place looks nice. I go here for a reason; it’s always good.

A great addition to the neighborhood! I tried their sushi, and it was delicious

A great addition to the neighborhood! I tried their sushi, and it was delicious

So good! We’ve been wanting to try this neighborhood spot for a while and so glad we did. The service was lovely and the food was delicious! We had the udon shrimp, seaweed salad ( the best I’ve ever had!!), crispy tuna rice ( a must!!!), salmon carpaccio (also a must!), sake, the double tuna roll and the yellow tail roll. Every thing was so good would order it all again!! Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other menu items.

Tenzo is a simple, unassuming dining room with cozy counter seating - a nice spot to drop in on a chilly night for udon and takoyaki with a date. The open kitchen and friendly, attentive staff make the place feel especially homey

Amazing food, phenomenal service, great atmosphere; we got a great meal and it was reasonably priced. Very nice restaurant

My husband and I had a lovely dinner here and ordered the crispy spicy tuna, katsu, and the ebi udon. Each dish was well balanced, well seasoned, and tasted great! It’s a no frills kinda place and we loved the casual vibe. The menu is straight forward and has a little bit of everything so there’s something for everyone. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We’re so happy to have another tasty restaurant option in the neighborhood. We’ll definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

My new favorite local restaurant. My boyfriend and I love coming here. You can tell their ingredients are fresh. The miso soup and rock shrimp are great. Both the sushi rolls they offer are super good. The portions are smaller than your typical American portions but I personally love it because I’m not overstuffed by the end. Yuzu cheesecake was sweet but not overwhelming, great balance of flavors. Nice ambiance and always clean. Staff is always friendly.

I enjoyed my visit here. We tried a few of the rolls, the trio don, the tuna triangle, and the shishito peppers. The ingredients tasted fresh and everything came out well prepared, especially the fish and appetizers. The atmosphere can be a little hit or miss depending on how crowded it gets—sometimes it feels like a good balance, other times it can get pretty noisy. Overall though, it was a good experience and I’d come back to try more of the menu.

Nice place with a good atmosphere, excellent service and very good dishes and sushi, the draft beer was 👌

Good tasting sushi. Just took too long to get the food.

Delicious addition to Bedford avenue. All the dishes we ordered were engineered to perfection.

I was intrigued by the high ratings of this restaurant and made a point to visit for a weeknight dinner. Having eaten there, I am puzzled. The service was attentive and quick. No notes there. The shop was a standard-issue corner restaurant, basically undifferentiated from the Mexican restaurant that was there years before. Not a place you’d select for ambiance or date night, but it was clean and well-lit. The food was quite average. I had the pork belly mazemen and agedashi tofu. My partner had seaweed salad, vegetarian roll and yellowtail roll. Of all these dishes, mazemen was the tastiest. The noodles were overcooked, but the pork and egg combo compensated. All the other dishes were unremarkable, poorly seasoned or weirdly textured. Fortunately, dishes are reasonably priced so our exploration did not set us back too much. Overall, it’s a fairly average neighborhood restaurant with moderate prices.

We’re so thrilled to have this new spot right around the corner and went to check it out the first week they were open! It’s nice to have some asian flavors in the neighborhood 😊 All the food tastes great. The pork belly mazemen was our favorite! The pork was really well seasoned and the poached egg and sauce that coats the noodles was so luxurious. The whole squid and the grilled vegetables were probably the weakest dishes. The squid was nicely cooked and the sauce was tasty, but it could have used some lemon. The sauce on the grilled vegetables was also really yummy but we felt the vegetables themselves could have been cooked a bit longer; they were on the harder side to bite into. Everything else tasted great! Next time we’ll make sure we order one serving of yuzu cheesecake per person, instead of sharing 😅 The servers were very sweet and attentive though the food took a while to come out. Probably just due to it being the first week of opening and assume they’re still smoothing out the logistics. It was a little bit on the pricey side—we spent $100+ for two people with no drinks. Overall we’ll definitely be back and will bring our friends in the neighborhood too!

Good solid option, crispy rice was nice. The tuna to rice ratio felt a bit overwhelming but I just love crispy rice.

All around this place is great! Good food, reliable service, friendly staff, Sapporo Draft... That said, I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. I don't mean that in a bad way and I can't quite explain what that is. But its the perfect neighborhood spot! If you are thinking on traveling to eat here im not saying NO bc its is really good. All over 10/10 no notes. I eat here at least 1 a month.

I did an online order for a salmon don and added ikura (extra $3). Unfortunately, for $22, the bowl was not worth the price. Salmon was measly and thinly cut. They also added like a minuscule drop of ikura, which is a shame considering we have to pay extra for it—I’m talking around a quarter of a teaspoon. Taste was good, but I was still quite hungry afterwards. Avoid if you’re looking for nicely portioned and appropriately priced sashimi bowls.

Sadly, our experience wasn’t great. The food took FOREVER, and when it arrived it wasn’t really worth it. The short rib was cold and the hamachi roll was just ok. The salmon belly took an hour and a half. We left hungry and disappointed after almost two hours of waiting.

Decent food but poor all-around hospitality. 1st visit forgot a dish & really didn't seem too concerned - I still ended up paying for it and taking it to go. 2nd attempted visit as a solo diner - bar was a little cramped, so I asked for a table - told I'd really need to be quick to take a table. None of the empty tables appear to have been re-seated, so I guess they just don't want parties of 1 anywhere, but the bar. Unnecessary- get out of your own way and seat the guest in front of you

Was disappointed by the skimpy $14 Tonkatsu takeout—barely any sides… a bite of shaved cabbage? I’d give a higher rating if it came with rice, soup, more cabbage, and just generally more effort to make this more of a Bento.

it was ok, got the salmon donburi which only had a few extremely thin pieces for $18. felt ripped off

Forgot some of our food. Food took forever to come. Dishes were small and came every ten minutes or so. Delicious but incredibly slow and poorly organized/timed.

Food was mediocre, the soup was cold and the sushi took one hour

Don’t order the The rock shrimp the portion sizes pitiful and the shrimp is overcooked and dry. It’s also very soggy.

Just objectively terrible food for the price. Pork Katsu was dry and bland. Trio Don had low quality fish, hard rice and a tiny portion. $12 for fast food potato wedges with no flavor. House sake tasted stale and soapy. If you like this place you probably think Panda Express is good Asian food.
