I really enjoy the food at Tendon Kohaku — the tempura is consistently crispy, the portions are satisfying, and the flavours are spot on. It’s one of the better places for a good tendon bowl, and I appreciate the quality ingredients and presentation.
That said, I do think it’s a little stingy that they don’t allow ingredient swaps. Sometimes it’d be nice to customise just a little (for dietary preferences or simply to avoid an item you don’t enjoy), and the inflexibility takes away from an otherwise great dining experience.
Still, worth a visit if you’re craving a solid tendon meal — just be prepared to take the bowl as it comes.
Food was good but the serving time took quite long. But hey good food takes time! Waitress was on point in refilling our green tea she deserve a raise!
Awesome food and service is much improved for the first time I came here. Keep up the great work. For those of you who are coming here for the 1st time. I highly recommend the premium set. Just one small request if they could change the music playing in the background as it can be quite distracting. Thank you 😜
Founded in 2016, Kohaku is a Singapore-born tendon (tempura rice bowl) specialty shop, now also in Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and Washington State in the U.S.
琥珀天丼／KOHAKU Tendon
A beautifully stacked tempura bowl served over Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi rice, topped with freshly fried shrimp, chicken breast, white fish, shiitake mushrooms, green beans, eggplant, and more.
You can choose between their original KOHAKU sauce or a spicy flavor.
The quality is just as good as what you'd find in Japan!
Everything was nice about this restaurant. Went there on weekend but still get can seat without queueing up. Tendon was amazing, almost the same like the one I had in Japan.
The donburi portions are generous and well-balanced with a flavorful sauce. Fast service and cozy atmosphere make it perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.
It’s a good experience to dine it here. The place is spacious, neat and tidy. I’m so glad to brought my Son along with me for dinner.
He’s enjoying it so much.
I absolutely enjoyed the Umi Tendon set! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. The tendon is perfectly crispy without being dry, and the sauce strikes a great balance between sweetness and saltiness. Plus, the restaurant is spotless and well-lit, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.
