Tendon Kohaku brings the authentic taste of Japanese tempura donburi to The Central, representing a premium collaboration between Nadai Fujisoba and Kings Know Group with worldwide ambitions. This acclaimed Japanese chain has made its mark across Tokyo, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Canada, bringing traditional tendon cuisine to international shores with meticulous attention to quality and authenticity.
Specializing in the art of tendon - a harmonious combination of crispy tempura and perfectly seasoned rice bowls - Tendon Kohaku elevates this classic comfort food to new heights. Their signature offerings include the value-packed Standard Kohaku Tendon at $15++, featuring succulent prawn tempura, tender chicken breast, and seasonal vegetables over multigrain rice, and the premium $26.80 signature bowl served in their iconic porcelain vessel overflowing with black tiger prawn, dory fish, crab stick, and an array of perfectly battered vegetables including shiitake, young corn, and pumpkin.
What sets Tendon Kohaku apart is their unwavering commitment to premium ingredients and traditional techniques. They exclusively use carefully selected Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi and Hitomebore Japanese rice varieties for their soft, fluffy texture and perfect balance of sweetness. Their proprietary tempura batter blend combines several Japanese flour types for optimal crunchiness, while their unique vegetable-sesame oil mixture is maintained using cutting-edge Water-Fryer technology that prevents oxidation and ensures consistently fresh, crispy results. Diners can customize their experience with original, spicy, or mala sauce options, with the Chinatown Point outlet offering an exclusive wasabi sauce that has become a local favorite among tempura enthusiasts.
blown away by the taste of everything; usually these things either are too soggy or too much rice, or something is too dry. Here the rice portion just nice and chewy. The chicken breast is tender and not dry. all the crispy batter so good and the spicy tendon sauce is my favourite. always nice even over the years!! Good quality and fast service.

Excellent food! I had the half-half set - half portion of tendon with tempura and half portion of udon, both were delicious. The tempura items were crispy and light, a delight to eat. The chilli flakes provided give a nice kick. Highly recommended!

Seriously, this place is awesome for lunch! The food and service are both top-notch. And the tempura? You gotta try it all, it's all good. Definitely worth checking out for a weekday lunch.

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 😜
