Just got back from Japan and was looking for something that could bring back those memories. The highlight was definitely the omurice, it was exactly what I was craving and reminded me so much of the omurice I had in Japan. The egg was perfectly cooked, the flavors were comforting, a taste of my trip all over again. If you're coming here, definitely order the omurice. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

we stopped here for dinner on a wednesday night. even though it was a weekday, it was very busy. luckily, there was one table left, so we were able to get seated immediately. the inside is very nice. warm, bright lights, and lively chatter. the service was also great! the food was ready REALLY fast, i was a little shocked at how fast it came out in comparison to how many dishes we ordered, but i wasn't complainin! we got the tonkotsu ramen, eel sashimi, sushi pizza (salmon), and omurice (with pork, fried rice, and black pepper sauce), and an order of the spicy girl roll. every dish was SOLID. the omurice was so fragrant, the black pepper gravy was delicious with the fried rice and egg. the sushi pizza was also a hit - all the sauces blend into the perfect, savory bite. i would definitely come back next time im in ny! read more

I had some friends visiting from out of town and their evening opening up for a quick dinner. We were a group of 6, which can get challenging to find resys for the day of, but we had no problem getting one at Tenjuo. However, I can't say I loved every aspect of our evening. Our group was seated upstairs with a corporate party in a private room. This created for an awkward vibe as everyone else in the room knew each other except for our table. The servers also did not tell us we needed to use the table buzzer to get food going, so we were sitting for over 30 mins waiting to be acknowledged until one of us figured out the system. Once we did though, the service was fast. I just wish someone had informed us. I got the salmon and tuna roll. The rolls were fresh but I did feel they were slightly overpriced for what they were. I did try the omurice from a friend and will say, that was the star. If I was to come back, I would definitely order that for myself. Overall, the omurice is a go, but the dining experience fell short otherwise. read more

Tenjou - Tuna Roll & Salmon Roll - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

This place is highly overrated. I should have trusted the lone review that said the positive reviews were given incentives. Upon coming in, we were greeted with the pretty cold attitude. We were not given the happy hour menu even though we were still within the window. The person bringing us the omurice and the check was acted very strange: avoided eye contact with us, no smile, poured the sauce not gently at all. Now the food is also very average. The tomato sauce in the omu rice is overly sweet. The egg is good but too greasy for my taste. The accompanying tonkatsu is dry inside but soggy on the outside at the bottom where it touches the green salads. The plate they used for the omurice is the worst: this is a saucy dish and you want to scoop up the sauce. But the plate's texture makes awful noise every time your spoon touches it. The music was so very mediocre and the lighting is not cozy. I'm sorry I had just a bad experience here. Please don't waste your money here. read more

You can find Tenjou at 25 W 23rd St New York, NY 10010. This was just a few blocks from where I was staying at my most recent visit to NYC. Parking is always very iffy in NYC - I'd recommend walking to locations that are within a mile of your current location or destination and skipping a drive. The restaurant is quite lovely with an obvious eye towards an Asian, and specifically a Japanese esthetic - sort of a cross between minimalist industrial and woody craftsman with neutral tones and splashes of elegant graphics and color. I was by myself having just traveled from Atlanta and the NJ Train to Penn Station. Tenjou was near my hotel in Chelsea, about a 15 minute walk. I was seated immediately (it was still pretty early) on a Wednesday night - the restaurant was pretty busy but there were 3 empty seats at the sushi bar. I had a chance to look over the general operation while seated, including the sushi chefs - everything was crisp and competently handled. Looking over the menu I decided to get their ramen and a few apps. I ordered the Pan Fried Gyoza Dumplings, a spicy Salmon roll and the Tokyo Tonkatsu Ramen extra creamy with white garlic and straight noodles. Washed this down with a mug of Asahi. The Gyoza seemed slightly under-cooked to me or it might be that I've gotten used to how it's served in the Atlanta area. They probably could have used an extra 30 seconds of steam/boil. Otherwise the flavors were very good. The ramen seemed fairly authentic from what I remember having in Japan. I still prefer homemade noods but really in most ramen places in Japan, the noodles come from a local purveyor so this is on point. The soup was delicious and the toppings great - seems corn has been added to the Tokyo style, I don't remember that but hey, times change (it's been many years since my last visit). The spicy salmon roll to me was a bit dry and not spicy enough - too much panko flake for my tastes - I'd skip this the next time. Of course this varies a lot so this might be right up your ally? I noticed that most of the diners ordered the specialty rolls so I probably just didn't order the right thing but hey, how much can you eat? The food in general was quite good and very fresh. The service as good considering I was sitting at the counter. I'd consider this a good traditional Japanese ramen restaurant. I've had better/exceptional but this is very solid. 4/5 stars read more

I was solo for dinner on a work trip and was seated right away without a reservation, though it got very busy after I arrived where reservations were required. I really enjoyed Tenjou because the prices are reasonable and there are so many options for small plates that one can have 2-4 different items and not break the bank. I had the pork belly yakitori, gyoza, and a tuna roll. The sushi was fresh, tender, and melted in my mouth. The yakitori was tasty but had too much sweet sauce glazed on it for my liking. And the gyoza was hot, crisp with a lovely filling and sauce. All 3 items for $23 before tip which is in budget and I got to try a variety of things. The omurice dish was VERY popular with the tables around me and one table even cheered when it came out and they said it was what they get each time they eat there. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating, sleek, and comfortable. I'd definitely return. read more

Tenjou - Omurice - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Overall: 4 stars Bright and vibrant restaurant in Flatiron serving up some American-adjusted takes on Japanese food in a pleasant way. I found the staff to provide attentive service and enjoyed the quality of food as well. Classic Poke Bowl - Love this bright and refreshing poke bowl with some sweey and fresh flavors that excite the palette from mango to seaweed salad to avocado. Both the eel sauce and spicy mayo adds some flavoral developments to the bowl such that every bite has its own unique flavor. Fifth Avenue Roll - Interesting roll that is spice forward come from the minced sashimi, and I like that they threw in some tempura crunch for some texture. Despite the crunch, it still eats as a soft and spicy roll in which maybe a component with firmer texture would help.

Tenjou is a Japanese restaurant with an assorted menu and I was able to try a lot of their dishes. I had their chicken kaarage and a pork belly yakitori for appetizers. I really liked the karaage!

The interior was very nice and pleasant to dine in. We got to go a few times after peak hour so I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, but I'm sure it gets livelier during rushes! The broth in the ramen was so rich and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I believe there's a lunch menu where you could choose an appetizer, entree and dessert! The service was also top notch and made sure everything came out to our liking. read more

Was in the area so ordered a takeout for lunch from Tenjou. The Omurice sounded unique so had to try it and ordered it with pork. It was expertly prepared and was delicious.

Tenjou - Omurice (with Pork) - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Tenjou is fine if you need a mid-quality lunch spot that hits all the Japanese staples without hitting the bottom of your wallet. Everything we got was on the spectrum of decent to not bad, but I wouldn't make a special trip here. - Omurice: Well-made but bland. Came with onions, chicken, mushrooms, green beans, and pork, but nothing tasted special - Chicken Katsu: A bit dry - Tuna Crispy Rice: Not spicy enough and overpriced for what we got - Salmon Avocado Roll & Spicy Salmon Roll: Fine - Fifth Avenue: Get this if you want maximum fish with minimum frills. It had spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, avocado and crispy noodles, and was wrapped with soy paper - Pan Fried Gyoza Dumplings: Oddly burnt. Not good. - Spicy Tuna Gyoza: The ingredients sounded better than the execution read more

We walked in on 7/4 and were 1 of 6 tables with Asian-presenting folks (always a good sign). We were promptly seated and ordered within 2min, receiving our food 5min later! Food- genuinely impressed for the $ - omurice $23 was impressively executed and so generously portioned - salmon tapas $18 was a nice refreshingly chilled addition - sweet potato fries $11 were so crispy and complimented the mayo-based sauce amazingly Only downside is music is a bit loud for intimate conversation, but we appreciated how casual it made the place feel. Will certainly try to be back on a future NYC trip read more

Tenjou - Vegetable Miso Udon - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I dined here for a late lunch. The space was modern looking with light colors and some pops of color throughout. The friend I came with got the Ramen, informing our waiter she has a severe dairy and fish allergy. After she was served, the waiter returned to let us know there was milk in the broth and took it away. I believe this was preventable and am thankful that she only tried 1 spoonful. The waitress tried her best to accommodate my friend by offering a custom made broth, but my friend ended up ordering something else. It was Happy Hour when we went, so some of the smaller menu items were half off. From those options, I selected the Shrimp Tempura Roll. For my entree, I ordered the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl. The Shrimp Tempura Roll was tasty with satisfyingly crispy, light, and tender shrimp. The Korean BBQ beef was mixed with onion, green onion, sesame seeds, and egg over the rice. I thought that the egg would be cooked, but instead, it was raw egg yolk. I didn't mind too much, as I stirred it into the hot rice. The BBQ Beef was tender and well seasoned, with the onion adding a fresh touch. I would've liked to have more veggies in there, since the meat and rice were such a heavy, hearty dish. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were reasonable. I would give this place another chance to try the Mega Ramen, consisting of chashu pork and shrimp tempura. read more

My college friend and I met up at Tenjou for a quick lunch last Monday. It's close to the office, and I heard good things about their food, particularly the omurice. OMURICE - 23 I haven't had a ton of omurice, but this was easily the best I've had, and pretty affordable too. No fancy rose or tornado shaping here -- just the classic bloop in the middle, sliced open, then flop! The black pepper sauce was chef's kiss, and the fried rice (with onions, mushroom, and chicken) was super flavorful. It also came with a small cutlet of chicken katsu on the side, which was fine but nothing special. GYU BEEF DON - 20 Very large portion, and we ended up with half leftover since we prioritized on finishing the omurice. It was solid but not particularly memorable, felt like something I could replicate at home. The beef was a bit chewy, and the rice leaned a little too sticky. Other than that, it was well-seasoned and the sauce was flavorful. Overall, generous portions and a great lunch spot near the office. I'd highly recommend the omurice alone, and personally, I could probably split it into two meals, which is a really good deal -- only 11.50 per meal! Crazy steal in NYC. read more

Decent casual Japanese food with modern decor and good service. Was able to walk in without a res for dinner and got seated on the second floor which had a nice airy feel but stairs were steep. I was optimistic since the first floor was full. Clientele seemed to be mostly 20s. We ordered agedashi tofu, seaweed salad, ramen, and omurice with pork. All items were good so I'd recommend as a casual place for food on an everyday occasion but necessarily destination worthy. Give it a try if you get bored of the usual suspects by madison square park for a quick bite read more

Everything was exceptional. We began with the pepper appetizer and the skewers, both were tasty. And then we had their signature omurice, which we noticed every table ordered. It was the best rice dish I have ever had--the flavor from the sauce combined with the fresh rice was a fantastic combination. I also tried out he recommended ramen, good as well. Regarding service, we were attended to by different waitstaff who ensured we could order promptly and that our dishes were delivered on time. One waiter even reminded me to take a video of the omurice pouring option. As for ambiance, it is perfect for all occasions, whether with friends, family, or on a date. read more

What a nice surprise as we walked into the spacious restaurant with nice decor. It's before noon so it wasn't crowded. Decided on the lunch set - tonkotsu ramen, yakitori chicken and matcha pudding with red bean. Ramen soup hit the spot in a cold winter day. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Matcha pudding was light but had a good dense texture. Highly recommend it for a large group or just individual dining. Looks like there is seating upstairs as well. read more

I'd more accurately give this a 3.5 but am rounding down when you factor in value. I eyed this place in a prime location on 23rd and 5th next to Eataly and the Lego store with suspicion. The menu was just too long, covering vastly different categories like sushi, donburi, and ramen all on a single menu. Yes it's all Japanese food, but typically good Japanese restaurants focus on just one. This place is filled with mostly tourists too, but I walked by enough times to give in to my curiosity just once. While the place was full on the Saturday afternoon I visited, we were seated right away, got our orders taken, and were served pretty quickly. The omurice was cut tableside and had the right runny texture. The chicken katsu that came on the side was made of what might've been thigh meat which is not my favorite, since I still feel new to eating meat and get the meat ick. But the rice under the egg was surprisingly flavorful and buttery. The special rolls we ordered, one with shrimp tempura, salmon, and tuna and another with spicy tuna, avocado, and cream cheese were served warmer than what I'm used to with sushi. I suppose it's because there were a lot of fried elements in these rolls, but it threw us off a little. All the dishes were not bad overall but two rolls and two bowls after tax and tip was nearly a hundred bucks. I guess that's par for the course for a place like this but I will promptly forget this meal as soon as I'm done writing this review. read more

Came here for the omurice but wasn't impressed by the one next to our table, so I ordered the mega ramen. the mega ramen's portion is normal and ingredients are nothing really special. overall, the ramen tasted mediocre and not worth the $22 price tag.

My friends and I were looking for an affordable dinner spot in the Flatiron area when I came across Tenjou, which I had bookmarked to try. The crew was very much into the idea, so we agreed to meet there one night. The restaurant was located right on a busy stretch of 23rd Street, but it also managed to be relaxed, quiet, sleek, and modern. It was a welcome respite to the hecticness outside. Two of my friends had arrived before the rest of us, and they had ordered some happy hour specials while they waited. The restaurant had several drink and food specials to choose from, and I got to sample the Popcorn Chicken and Takoyaki Octopus Balls when I joined them. I am not typically a fan of fried food, but the chicken bites had been seasoned before they were battered, and they were actually really good. The octopus rounds were topped with Japanese mayonnaise and largely shaved bonito flakes; these were delicious in flavor, but the octopus was rather tough. For my individual meal, I ordered the Hawaii Bowl, a poke mixture of sushi rice topped with furikake, cucumber, mango, corn, seaweed salad, avocado, salmon, tuna, and sesame sauce. I also just had to try my favorite standby, an Eel Avocado Roll. Both were FANTASTIC! Every ingredient was fresh, colorfully ripe, and super flavorful. In fact, the roll was probably one of the best I had ever had. I enjoyed my meal with a glass of the Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, which was not a typical match for seafood, but was a recognizable brand from the wine list. I should note that from the start to the end of our experience, the staff was just so inviting. Everyone greeted us and said goodbye as we left, plus they were attentive, while also allowing us to linger endlessly after our meal. Tenjou was a gem in every way, and we all agreed that we would be happy to return at some point. read more

Came here in June back when they were still relatively new. Saturday lunch and we were the only ones there - nice and quiet. Service was still a bit spotty but they just opened so didn't really think much of it. Crispy rice was good! One of the better ones I've had. I also tried their yakitori set which for $20 was a good deal - especially since the skewers were plump and hefty lol read more

Threw our daughter's 25th birthday here in the upstairs private room! So convenient and very near flatiron and Eataly. Bright and light decor and we strung up a banner at our table. The staff were wonderful and helpful and attentive! We ordered so many skewer appetizers, Agedashi tofu, takoyaki octopus balls, smoked edamame, pan fried dumplings, scallop buns, pork buns, chicken buns, fried calamari. All delicious! We ordered beautiful and large pieces of sashimi and everyone enjoyed their orders of ramen, Donburi, and we had lots of sake and prosecco. The Omurice presentation was so fun and beautiful to watch! We enjoyed our evening very much. And appreciated letting us bring our own cake also for the celebration! Thank you, Tenjou. read more

Made a reservation while staying outside of the city for here after doing some searching for ramen spots. My reservation was for 8:00, but due to my schedule and the quickness of things I was able to get there about 7:30 and checkin, alerting them I was obscenely early. I was able to sit at the bar as a solo, which was fine with me. Bright colors, somewhat loud but they are busy and wood accents with diffused lighting. Nice place. I ordered a pork and chicken bun to start with a Tenjou roll. I think I got two pork buns bc there really was no discernible difference between the two. The sauce on them was kind of thin and runny but the flavor made up for it - very good. The tenjou roll was arguably the best non-local sushi place favorite roll I have had while traveling, warm, great flavor on top, and the crunch of the fry on it was all very very good. For my entree (I was really hungry and just came from a spin class ok?) I ordered the black garlic pork tonkotsu ramen. This was good - standard issue ramen. The service was very good and attentive, I was able to eat, pay and keep it moving in a fair amount of time. Also from order to first time may have been 4 minutes. The only issue I can think of was the ramen came out before the starters. Not a problem. Would recommend as a place to get ramen while in the midtown/iron area. read more

Tenjou - Gyu Beef Don - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

​Finally had the chance to stop by for dinner after it opened a few months ago. It was pretty busy when we arrived around 6pm on a Saturday, but there were still a few tables available for our party of 2. The restaurant is decently spacious, and the clean and minimalist decor made for a very welcoming environment. We ordered the omurice (I think their speciality), the Hawaii poke bowl, and two of the sushi rolls (salmon and yellowtail/scallion). The omurice was very delicious. The egg was cooked expertly, to the perfect runny-ness/texture, and the brown sauce was very nice, adding some savouriness to the omelette without being too heavy or salty. The fried rice was not bad, but I don't think there was anything too notable about it. We chose the pork cutlet (instead of chicken) and it was also fine. The meat had a nice flavour but it was just a pretty average katsu. The Hawaii bowl was fine. The fish had a lovely, fresh flavour which went nicely with the sesame sauce. However, the veggies (cucumber and avocado in particular) did not taste very fresh -- had a bit of an overripe/old flavour to them. Not the worst, but definitely detracted from the overall bowl. The sushi rolls were pretty good. Like the fish in the poke bowl, they were fresh and tasty. Overall, the meal was not bad, but I don't think it was anything particularly fantastic. The price point was also on the higher side, especially for the portion sizes. I think I'd want to try one of their ramen or yakitori options if I come back in the future, but don't think I'm in too much of a rush to do so. read more
