   Our dinner at Tenzen was truly exceptional! The food was fresh and beautifully presented. We were lucky to find that Wednesday is all day Happy Hour, making our rolls and appetizers were a great value! Our server was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She was able to suggest things even the picky eater in our party would eat! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it perfect for a special occasion. We'll definitely be back soon!"

   Couldn’t find out anything because they didn’t seat me even thirty minutes after my reservation. Save yourself the time and eat at any of the other nice restaurants in the area.

   Great service and excellent food. The manager was very involved to make sure everything was perfect for our anniversary celebration. My sushi and roll were served in an awesome wooden boat that made the great food look fun and tasty. The edamame and gyoza was delicious. Drinks were well prepared and the atmosphere was quiet and enjoyable. We will be back!

   We had a 7pm reservation and arrived at 6:40pm. No reception at the hostess area. We waited a few minutes and decided to go to the bar. There we saw the owner tending bar. Obviously busy and obviously short staffed for the evening. After about 10 minutes, he asked about dinner, told him we had a 7pm reservation and ordered cocktails. At around 7:05 we were seated. No wait staff approached our table until 7:30-7:35pm. No water, no “I’ll be right with you” nothing. At about the time (7:45 or so) my wife said “ This is not good, let’s pay the bar bill and go” the waitress approached our table, apologized for the delays, blamed it on large parties tying up staff and asked if we were ready to order. As a last ditch effort to save an evening at a restaurant we heard so many good things about, we asked, given the kitchen was admittedly back up, how long would the wait be for dinner. The waitress responded with 30-40 minutes. Needless to say we thanked her, but paid the bar bill and went somewhere else. I understand it was Christmas Eve, they were short staffed but the total lack of attention to any detail, simple things like greeting your arrival and acknowledging your existence at a bar and then table is not acceptable. A total bust and doubtful we will return

    Excellent food, probably the best temper I’ve had since I had tempura in New York City a couple years ago. The service was stellar. The fish was so fresh, we will definitely be back again.😋
