    Tenon is AMAZING! The staff are sweet! This includes the chef who went out of their way to go out into the blizzard today because they were out of pineapple for my dish just to ensure it was made with care and love. The food is fantastic as always but I usually get take out. It was especially great to experience the dine in aspect of the restaurant as it is so peaceful, clean and cute. I absolutely will be returning for sure!

    Interesting Asian vegetarian restaurant. Besides typical vegetarian dishes such as noodles, rice and curry, they serve vegetarian sushi and rolls. The food was good and the sushi was very interesting. Service was pretty attentive.

    This place has been here for over 20 years so I figured it's gotta be good to be able to survive for so long. NOTE: if diabetic, don't go here. Very starchy, lots of sugar. This sushi place is run by mainland Chinese. Nothing wrong with that: very few Japanese sushi chefs would actually open a place like this lol. Y'all, it was only 18 degrees today, cloudy, and very windy, but the inside was stuffy and hot. When I read reviews here that said it was "cozy", I expected comfortable, not stuffy and unventilated. Also, the spout on the teapot and the INSIDE of the miso soup bowl were BROKEN and chipped! It is IMPOSSIBLE to clean jagged pieces and rid it of all the bacteria. Gross! Know what's also gross? The tables were sticky. Food was meh. Max 3*, average 2*. The most delicious thing was the circular ham looking thing, and second is specifically the salmon sashimi. Other things were meh.. The ebi sushi was kinda mushy and didn't look like a shrimp shape lol. Taste was rather bland except the salmon. Not much complexity and did not taste like their meat counterparts. And why did my sushi roll have a hole as wide as a chopstick?? Check my pics. Barely any service. We had to hunt down the server to get our order taken, and after she brought out the dishes, she never came back. We also had to hunt her down by leaving our seating area to get the bill. My biggest gripe is considering that this is a veg place, why is the sashimi and sushi "meat" cut so thin and small? And worse, at the SAME price as real sushi (with real fish) at legit Japanese restaurants? The sashimi size here was less than what I'd get on a sushi roll at like... Miki. Disappointed for sure. Not sure what everyone's raving about.

    Vegetarian for the Carnivore!!! I tend to be a lover of different types of food. As a 'Foodie', I think the only requirement is that you must have a passion and love for food in general. I love meat but I'm always looking for new food adventures. Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine is right in my backyard and I've almost gone a few times. I finally went recently to a family gathering in which we had vegetarians and vegans in our group. The food at Tenon is very well thought out. They really have got a handle on the food they design. I've had mock meats and plant-based meat alternatives before and for the most part enjoy vegetarian and vegan food. I enjoyed most of the food offerings and some more than others. The service was great and we had no trouble getting a private room for our group. The plates were cleaned almost as soon as the food dropped, as we were sharing most of the dishes. I was lucky to get at least a couple of photos before the food disappeared. We really liked Tenon's take on animal and fish proteins and we will surely be back. If you're a vegetarian or vegan or even just curious, give it a shot I'm sure you will like the food too.

    Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine has been around for ages. The menu consists of mainly vegan options and some vegetarian items (with eggs and dairy). My family feels the portion size to cost ratio is slightly off. Generally, the bento offers the best value with different maki and side dishes. Dumplings are perhaps not the best option for takeout. The wrappers are far too delicate and are time sensitive. Sitting in a takeout box, from experience is detrimental to the quality. Overall, Tenon is best for dine-in. However, if you are seeking takeout option, bento is not a bad choice.

    Combo A Sushi Platter - 28 Pieces (8 pcs Sashimi, 6 pcs Sushi, Rainbow Roll 8 pcs, and California Roll 6 pcs)

    Is it Sushi? No it's vegetarian. First time trying out a vegetarian restaurant that does sushi. Was craving sushi but decided to try it with a twist. Came here on a Sunday dinner time Speaking about the location, it's easy to find and hard to miss. It's right along Kennedy in the New Kennedy Square plaza. Lots of parking available. The restaurant has a fair amount of space. It's a cozy place. For the service, it was pretty quick. We got seated right away and food came fast after we ordered. To be fair, there was not a lot of people... A busy day's service may vary. Now to the most important part, the food. All I can say it wow, I can't believe a vegetarian dish can be this good. With that being said, this is not a replacement or substitution to real sushi. But this is a category of its own. So if you're vegan or vegetarian and want sushi, this is an option. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner at Tenon. I can imagine that it's not for everyone but I suggest to give it a try.

    House Special Duck
    Olya S.

    I was exploring how good vegetarian sushi could be and my partner brought me to this place. They had sushi with imitations of different fishes. I would say shrimp imitation was the closest in taste. Overall the sushi wasn't bad but not as good as real fish. Also I absolutely loved sweet and sour eel and house special duck dishes which were vegetarian as well but the taste was so good and it did resemble meat in some ways, which was not my intention to necessarily taste the meat. I found these dishes were delicious. The decor was very traditional for Asian restaurants and very nice. The server was very attentive.

    Party Tray B - good for 2 ppl
    Kavi R.

    This one is for my vegan friends! Order: Party Tray B - an assortment of sushi rolls. This was good for 2 people. Amazing taste. Almost unbelievable that everything was VEGAN. Covid Safety: Online menu for takeout. Call ahead of time & place your order. Hand sanitizer available in store. Overall, this was a fantastic vegan place. I will definitely be returning. The inside also looked pretty nice. After covid, I will def dine in. Cheers!

    [Sweet & Sour Soy Nuggets] $14.99
    Claudia K.

    Please note that this place truly has no meat in their location! Their imitation crab meat is actually IMITATION IMITATION crab meat and is not made from fish like how regular imitation crab meat is :D [Sweet & Sour Soy Nuggets] $14.99 - this is basically sweet and sour imitation chicken. The sauce in this dish is absolutely delicious so if you usually like sweet and sour chicken, my goodness, give this an order and perhaps you'll prefer this dish over real chicken any day like me! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! [Combo A] $27.99 - this was a platter that came with 28 pieces. The breakdown of the pieces being 8 pieces of "sashimi", 6 pieces of "sushi", 8 pieces of a rainbow roll, and 6 pieces of a california roll. Within this combo, I have to say that it's probably not worth your money to order it because I personally didn't enjoy the taste of the slices of "sashimi" that they provided. The "salmon" out of all the pieces was the most disappointing so going forward, I would order more of their dishes that are more creative! Honestly though, if it's your first time here, this combo could be worth getting so that you can sample their various "raw fish" offerings [Spicy Broccoli Roll] $6.29 - this is a 6 piece roll that my boyfriend and I inhaled before I could take a picture. Suffice to say that this is definitely something worth ordering time and time again (unless of course, you don't like broccoli!) If you know or are someone who is looking for a delicious and delightful vegetarian sushi experience, get your butt into this place! Ensure you make reservations ahead of time though as they are a relatively small restaurant for the quality of food they provide. Don't hesitate to clarify what things are made out of if you're uncertain because their service is wonderful! The employees seem to be extremely dedicated to providing you with a wonderful dining experience so they're more than happy to answer any questions you may have :D

    Special duck
    Lisa O.

    "HOLD UP, wait a minute?! You're telling me this is vegetarian?" This is probably what you're thinking, and let me answer that question: YES! I mean, I've only started eating vegetarian food at least once a week, and thought the options were limited but had no idea that all these restaurants even existed! Making it so much easier for vegetarians to enjoy the stuff they normally can't. If you're going to ask me what this "sushi" platter contains, it contains rolls and nigiri - vegetarian style everything was fresh, made to order, and pretty bomb. What else was on the menu? There was house special duck, tenon special roll and seafood yaki u-don. Check out IG: @ooi.eats for all food reviews and your next foodie adventure.

    Had the chance to try this place with a friend tonight. The service was different between us and others that entered. Definately was not happy with the service. The waitress came to us 3 times within a couple minutes to ask us if we have decided yet. I really felt unwelcomed and rushed. I usually dont say anything negative. Food was mediocre. I really dont know why this place is rated as high as it is. Maybe everyone else ordered something different than me.

    Green dragon roll I think. Tempura vegan shrimp, etc.
    Rebecca H.

    We probably ordered too much food but it's hard to decide when you live far away and don't know when you will be back. This was our second visit and we stick to the Japanese menu and ordered things we can't get at home. Our sushi feast included 4 special rolls, 4 regular rolls, 2 hand rolls, and 1 appetizer. All the rolls had the rice on the outside and one of our special rolls, the Montreal Roll, was tempura roll where the entire roll is battered and fried. After scanning the menu for tempura rolls, In thought there were none so that was a pleasant surprise. Tenon is very generous with the avocado which I very much appreciated. My favorite roll was topped with avocado, a zillion thing slices crowded together. The king mushroom special roll was another favorite. It's five pieces and topped with 5 large bonus pieces of tempura mushroom in addition to the tempura mushroom inside the roll. As soon as we sat down, they brought us a hot pot of complementary green tea. The tea was permeated with the flavor of toasted rice and was quite lovely. A note to vegans - the items on the menu with cream cheese are not labeled with the red dot meaning "contains eggs or dairy" but I do believe they are made with dairy cream cheese. I first this I ordered was Philadelphia roll and the last thing I said was that we wanted the food vegan. The Philadelphia roll came without cream cheese so I can only assume the cream cheese is not vegan. For some reason the red dot only appears next to items with mayonnaise. There are lots of types of vegan seafood - salmon, crab, shrimp, as well as meat - chicken, duck, beef, etc. Highly recommended. I'm sure everything is delicious.

    Sushi combo F (5 sashimi, 5 sushi, and 6 california roll pieces)
    Sunny W.

    Finally went to this restaurant after months of having it bookmarked on Yelp. They have an all vegetarian Japanese menu! We ordered the tom yum veggie seafood soup and sushi combo F (comes with 5 sashimi, 5 sushi, and 6 california rolls). The sashimi was so good, the highlight was definitely the mock salmon, which tasted exactly like real salmon. If we just got the combo, I would've given this place 5 stars, but the tom yum soup is where the restaurant fell short for me. The soup was incredibly sour, so we told our waitress. When she came back with the soup, it was pretty evident that all she did was add some hot water to it. Service itself was kind of lacking for me, as well. The server was curt when we were asking questions about the menu. Additionally, she forgot to bring the miso soup to us; we had to explicitly ask! Overall though, food came out quick and efficiently. Verdict: Would love to come back to try other menu items, and will definitely be getting the salmon again!

    Here is a true gem that is easily overlooked but definitely worth a visit. We were at another…read moreJapanese restaurant and they had told us that their regular menu was only available for lunch. This didn't sit well with us, so we had looked to Yelp to find another venue and Nichiban Sushi 4 U popped up. I never heard of Nichiban before, but I instantly recognized the location as another favourite food joint is located adjacent to them (Fat Ninja). We decided to give them a try. I can't say we weren't a bit hesitant when we arrived as they are located at the back of the plaza, away from the limited street frontage the plaza could afford. However, I can say with confidence that we were very happy we ate at Nichiban! The service was great, the prices were excellent and most importantly, the food was spectacular! The ingredients were very fresh and full of flavour! The bento box I ordered was well prepared and the food was just right. The chicken katsu was extremely tasty and the gravy was delicious! I loved the tempura: just enough batter to be flavourable and not overwhelming. I could actually see the vegetables underneath the batter, unlike other restaurants that simply oversaturate the batter. The sushi plates were also very good; the sashimi was ultra fresh and the presentation was great! Someone ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and everything was just right! Overall, I would highly recommend Nichiban to anyone who adores Japanese cuisine - excellent tasting food and great pricing will make you a believer!

Tempura Bento - Came with miso soup, salad, California roll, 2 gyozas, rice, 2 shrimp and 4 pc veggies. They must have given more before because there was alot of empty space in this bento.

Torched sushi Unagi and hotate - 3 blocks of rice with a bit of unagi and scallop on top. It felt a bit unbalanced and expensive for what it is. Would not recommend.

We added miso and side salad for added cost, but it was well worth it. Also took home a sushi for 2 and some sashimi (cut to order) and this dinner was also exceptional.

The space is bright, spacious, and finally offers something I've always wished for -- a proper sit‑in area where you can enjoy your food on the spot or order takeout to go. Beyond the dine‑in option, the selection here is fantastic. The Japanese grocery section is impressively stocked, with everything from pantry staples to harder‑to-find items. They even carry a wide range of sake, plus other Japanese alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, which makes it easy to pick up something special for dinner at home. My personal highlight is the sashimi‑grade fish. The quality is consistently excellent, and I love packing up a few pieces to make my own donburi at home. It's fresh, clean, and honestly rivals what you'd get at many restaurants. If you're a fan of Japanese food -- whether you're cooking, snacking, or dining in -- this new Taro's Fish location is absolutely worth the visit.

    We came here because of the reviews on Google, and like a lot of people have mentioned, parking is…read morefairly difficult. There are only about 4 to 5 spots in the front, and while there are some smaller plaza parking lots nearby and another parking lot across the street, most of the spots are marked for whatever store they're in front of, so park at your own risk. Upon entering, there aren't that many tables either. There isn't a lot of room for bigger groups but they can merge some of the tables together. The biggest issue for us was definitely how long and uneven the wait for the food was. We ordered at 12:15 PM and got our salads about 10 minutes later, but after that, the food came out pretty sporadically. The first actual dish didn't come until 12:44 PM, which was the tempura from the two-person set. Parts of the other meals and the rest of the two-person set slowly came out between 12:46 and 12:49 PM. The 30-piece sashimi and sushi set didn't arrive until 1:04 PM, almost 50 minutes after we ordered, and the actual salmon teriyaki which was just a small salad, salmon teriyaki and steamed rice from the bento was the last thing to come out at 1:09 PM, about 54 minutes after ordering. By that point, we had already finished the entire two-person set and another person had finished their udon and sushi combo. It's just not ideal when you're eating with a group and some people haven't even gotten the main part of their meal while everyone else is already finished. It also didn't seem like it was only our table. The table in front of us had a pasta order that seemed to have been missed. We heard the server say it was about to be ready, and then heard someone from the kitchen respond with something along the lines of, "There's another order for it?" So I do think the timing and communication between the kitchen and servers is something they need to improve on. We were served our salads first, but didn't get our miso soups until we asked for them. They were planning to serve them with the meals, but since we had already been waiting so long, we ended up just asking if we could have them first. For food, I got the two-person lunch set for $52, which came with a large veggie udon, 9 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi, an additional 6 pieces of a classic roll, and tempura. We chose the spicy scallop maki for our roll. The sushi and sashimi were good, and the tempura was good as well. The veggie udon was a little disappointing though. It had one bok choy, a few pieces of mushroom, and then was mostly just strands of onion. The spicy scallop maki was also just okay since I couldn't really taste much scallop. Price-wise, I do think it's a little on the higher side for what you get. The quality was good overall, but for the price I would've liked a little more, especially considering the wait. Between how difficult parking is and how long and unevenly the food came out, I'm not really in any hurry to return. I think the wait bothered me more because we were eating as a group, and by the time two people finally got their food, the rest of us were completely finished. If they can improve the timing of getting everyone's meals out somewhat together, it would make the experience a lot better. 5% off with cash.
