I'm a usual customer here. I come here at least one a month. The food here is usually fresh and delicious. I had always been a big fan of this place. However, I bought the salmon sashimi and spicy crunch combo yesterday and was really disappointed in the food. It was not fresh and the crunch had a stale taste. What happened Tenzan? Why is your quality of food declining? I also had a stomach ache after eating the food. Tenzan, you need to step up your game like in the past. I'm not sure whether I would come again after this happening... read more

This used to be a 3 star or 4 star restaurant back in the day when they were a small restaurant with Asian wood interior design. However, clearly business was so good that they have now taken over the neighboring space and expanded into a full sports bar with flat screen TV's. It's obviously hard to focus on the sushi taste when the Jets are playing across the room. Come back, Old Tenzan! Me want sushi, only! read more

Worst customer services I have ever had in an Asian restaurant. Unmotivated and untrained staff members which disgusted my entire staying at this location. Sushi and Sashimi quality are reasonably acceptable; however, cooked food rocked the bottom of my Japanese food experience ever. My wife has been in Brooklyn for her whole life, and suggested this so-called prestige Japanese cuisine. And I am so disappointed. The new management should raise the now standard to keep up with all competitions around town. Re-hire new friendly staffs and uphold their customer services skills. read more

This place sucked! It's not even worth the price. I ordered a salmon teryaki bento box for $15 and it only came with 3 small pieces of salmon, 3 shumai, 2 shrimp tempuras, a couple of veggie tempura, miso soup, and a sashimi platter. I was really disappointed in the salmon portion and the tempura sauce was watered down. On top of that the lady in the front desk acted real boogie and didn't know how to treat first time customers. Definitely will not be back! read more

Tenzan - I love their apple Martina's and their food.. But my favorite drink there is the piña colada. I swear it's a drink from heaven! - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Tenzen! My favorite sushi place in Bensonhurst. A friend and I had walked in pretty late at night, around 10:30 (late for Bensonhurst sushi places) and I definitely had a good experience. I sat in a booth which was perfect, gave me all the privacy i needed. EVERYTHING i tried was DELICIOUS. cooked super well. Their Peach mimosa's were to die for. I will definitely be back again also, this is the first time i actually spoke to a worker who was super sweet and very hospitable. read more

Overall a pretty good place! I've been going for quite a while now and the food has always been pretty good. Food doesn't take forever it's pretty fast and servers are decently attentive. The rooms are a nice touch, I came in for a friends birthday and we were I think seven? Everyone liked the food. The place isn't super quiet and at night the bar is pretty loud with the tv and it's not a super quiet place but overall its okay! I used to like it a lot more but my past two visits my sthomach ended up hurting and I thought it was just me then went again with a friend and we both ended up not feeling great after. I'll probrably go back eventually but not for a while after that sadly overall a solid 3.8 from me. read more

I can't believe some ppl would give 4 stars to this typical crappy sushi restaurant run by chinese, my message to these ppl is: go to a real japanese restaurant! come on, this is NYC, is so easy to find good food! This is one of those places you get food only when you don't want to cook. read more

Really great restaurant to host parties and such here or just have lunch! I was invited to a birthday bash here and it was really lovely. The food and ambiance lived up to my expectations. The bar, to my surprise, served bubble tea as well as virgin drinks and alcoholic beverages. The restaurant was clean and the staff were really patient and kind. I really likes the small private rooms they had for customers - it was very traditional japanese and you rarely see that anymore. I'll definitely be comin back! read more

Tenzan - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went their in the afternoon. Group of five. The atmosphere is really nice and the decor is nice. Wooden walls and just a pleasant to be in a place like that. I had the monkey roll, Tokyo roll, eel avocado roll and salmon crunch roll. All were delicious. After 5 minutes when our food came we all noticed that they didnt give us ginger. The food was so pleasant to look at and the place was so nice that I forgot too. But, I didnt mind. The food was really good!! The server was really nice and very attentive. I would definitely recommend for couples and groups. read more

READ before even call them. First experience I had a few months ago when I called, made order for about $38, I was waiting for 1,5 hours and when I called back, they told me that they forgot about my order. Can you imagine? Hungry client ordered sushi and wait for 2 hours $40 order. That's not fine even for Brooklyn service, sorry. Second experience, I wanted give them a second chance. I had great peaceful day and wanted eat a lots of sushi this evening with my hubby tonight at home in front of TV. I dont know who was working today but this Chinese barely connecting a few English words together told me: You better call $1 quality store. Is that how you speak to your hand picked clients??? Horrible!!! I think no one talk to clients like that even in Harlem. I am disgusted with that brain-free woman. read more

The best sushi I've ever had - at least in Brooklyn. Fresh, exotic rolls. I don't even remember all the rolls we ordered, as we had them all brought out on the same plate. I do remember a delicious roll that was wrapped in tuna, though. Also, they have a full bar now! And they are now located across the street from their original address, and they made it very expansive a d chic. read more

Hey, where did Tenzan go!?! Oh wait, I found them right across the street! Is it possible for a good Japanese restaurant to get even better? Yes! Not only did they move, they moved into a larger space and now have a full bar! We used to come to their original location but it was always filled with people because the food here is that good. Always clean with exceptional service I was very disappointed when they closed down for a time. Little did I know they were just moving into a better location directly across the street on 18th ave. When you walk in, the place hits you right away with the new restaurant smell/feel. We were greeted right away and showed to a table next to their private booths. The booths are for a more authentic Japanese feel because you sit on cushions and take your shoes off. We just opted for a normal dinner table. Everything was shiny and new, even the decorations were beautiful and pristine. Very well done. They now have a full bar the size of a bar you would fine in a nightclub or lounge. The display was lit up and well presented. The menus look like they cost a fortune to make as they were thick and made out a material that I cannot describe. We came for lunch and they provided a small lunch special menu as well. I went to for the Beef teryaki special that came with my choice of salad or miso soup. Included, along with a very nice portion of beef, was 2 pieces of shumai, white rice, a California roll and an orange. All of this for only $8.00! Yes, you heard right, $8!!! The beef was cooked perfectly and I was very happy with my meal. One small notation, my GF asked for no onions with her meal but they added them anyway. However, the waitress apologized right away for the chefs mistake and was willing to remake the entire dish for her. We decided to leave it and I picked the onions off and ate them myself. (It was a good excuse for me to eat some of her meal) Very excited that Tenzan is back, bigger and better and look forward to eating here again. read more

I used to like this place and I want to love this place but the quality is really lacking. The restaurant was full on a Friday night. I had a party of 9. They initially tried to squeeze us in a room that only fits 6. We eventually were given a bigger room upstairs where there was only one waitress for 2 large parties. We ordered the salmon deluxe and another plate of sashimi. The salmon pieces were an inch thick. Now I love salmon sashimi but they're not supposed to be cut an inch thick! It totally destroys the quality and the texture of that fish. And the sashimi were obviously not fresh because their color was as dull as the white paper you print on. For a full house I was expecting the food quality to be better than what I got. I don't think I'll be coming back here anytime soon again... read more

Very nice place!! Love it, especially after renovation, very cool design and atmosphere. Food is amazing, best sushi and beef teriyaki i have ever ate. Now they have nice cockail bar and tv's. Prices is very cheap, you can eat 3 course dinner for only 20$. Cocktails - $8-10. I recommend this place to everybody.! read more

I always came here with my fds for a reunion. This place is good! It's not a big restruant, but the food and the services is excellent. Sushi is always fresh which the most important thing ever for sushi fans. And the services attitude also important from a customer point of view. Highly recommend this place read more

One of my favorite places for sushi in New York, a little pricey but cheap fish isn't good fish right ? read more

Tenzan - Tenzan takeout - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I dig it. They were able to support a group of ~17 in a private room upstairs and were as attentive as they could be I assume. The rooms are cute, though maybe a bit skeevy since you have to take your shoes off... The food was pretty enjoyable. It's not 50% off sushi like normal Brooklyn spots, but their portions are HUGE. Everytime they brought something new in, everyone was wow'd by how big it was. The bento boxes are extremely worth it. I usually don't get them but this came with your choice of Cali *OR* sashimi, so I got about 6 pieces of fresh, thick sashimi. Definitely worth it! Plus all the other goodies like tempura (5-6 pieces), an orange, and shumai. Definitely affordable and a step up in decor/environment from your average sushi read more

Nice Japanese restaurant in the heart of Bensonhurst. One of the few establishments to have a sit down bar too which is a real plus. The food is good and pricing wasn't bad at all considering the large portions and quality of the food. Now for the negatives, the service was very slow and almost incompetent. They had sat me and my GF in a enclosed private area. Long story short they had completely forgotten about her order. They gave her the food to go while I ate there and didn't offer a comp or anything. That's pretty poor service in my opinion. I'm open to trying the spot again, but not sure if my girl is read more

I have had several business meetings here... The place is exceptional. Every time I go in the evening, there is a warm ambiance, a variety of people and the staff is very helpful. They have this slightly strange but warm and friendly hostess there... She's terrific! To find a place with quality food, atmosphere and class is refreshing. My clients have gone back on their own a few times after I have taken them there... How much better of a recommendation can you get? Great place to go with clients, friends or a date. I always leave happy. read more

I absolutely love the Tenzan on 2nd Ave, Midtown East and raved about it to my mom all the time. She loves sushi so we went to the location in Brooklyn for Mother's Day. It was pretty crowded but we didn't have to wait too long. The sushi was good and fresh but they don't have as large a variety of rolls as I was use to in Manhattan. All in all, it was a good dinner, just not sure if I would make the trek to Bensonhurst. read more

came here for lunch, they actually have a japanese style booths for large groups, so its similar to traditional japanese restaurants where you have to take off your shoes, its good for large groups who want private conversations they have lunch special which hovers around $10, i ordered the sashimi lunch and the fish was fresh and the pieces were medium size, they forgot to give me the rice and i had to ask them for it, the tables are pretty modern like and there is a bar in the front. read more

Can't go wrong with cheap sushi not the best I've tasted though. The California roll and eel avocado tasted like plastic. The rice didn't taste the same as other sushi places that I've been too, so I'm assuming it's not Japanese rice. I wouldn't recommend this place since there's so many other sushi spots around. read more

Food is ok, nothing to stand out from other sushi places. Ambiance is ok. There're private rooms to sit in if you have a party or would like some privacy. Docking a star for rudeness of waiters/waitresses. They are clearly fighting to service a table and trying to get us out of there. Keep asking if we want a check and take away drinks when we're not even done with it. I brought a guest to this place and it was so embarrassing that the waitress was kicking us out. read more

I remember Tenzan before it moved to this new location. It has definitely upgraded. The decor is modern and everything is well-kept and clean. It is very roomy inside and even the ceilings are high. I believe there is additional seating upstairs and they use that area for larger groups and parties. There are also two bar areas located within the restaurant: the alcohol bar and the sushi bar. I've tried a bunch of their rolls. My favorites are the shrimp mango and the dallas (tuna, shrimp, avocado, and spicy mayo). I have a feeling that eventually I will have tried them all. Considering all the other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood, Tenzan is slightly pricier. But the comfortable/relaxed ambiance, along with the fresh and delicious food, more than make up for it. Tenzan has definitely come a long way, and I'm glad to hear there are two other locations in Manhattan now. read more

This business has been opened for quite some time now but recently moved across the street and it now has TWO floors! (yay) The newly renovated restaurant is different than other japanese restaurants in Brooklyn. They have a fully stocked bar and a new menu too! I ordered take out from here last night and is still amazed at how good their food is. Though their prices can be a tad on the pricey side but it's definitely worth it considering their fish is always fresh and delicious ! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends :) read more

Heads up: rolls are little pricier compared to neighboring sushi restaurants The restaurant's interior is bit more upscale, i think its really cute place to bring a date here! They have rooms where you can eat and follow the Japanese tradition (shoes off). I really wanted donburi but did not want the meat option and was hoping to exchange it for tofu. The owner (i think) kept persisting me to eat meat, and said it was not possible to have tofu on the side. Okay... so i decided to go with vegetable yaki udon. Never had bad yaki udon before, Tenzan taste was similar to any other japanese restaurant. Food wasn't bad, I really enjoy the interior. I appreciate the thought they wanted to protrude; wooden spoobs, pretty cups, rose stamped napkins... Though the service did not meet my expectation. Food dishes were served even when other dishes werent finished. So some of my party members were empty plated for awhile. the owner was really persistent on some food items that did not interest my party members.. I wouldn't mind coming back here, but hopefully have another waiter read more

While not the most authentic or even best sushi restaurant one can find, for the abysmal foodie dead-zone that is Bensonhurst, Tenzan is a favorable option. DO get the: *mixed spicy sashimi appetizer *kani seaweed salad *sashimi combos *spider roll SKIP the: *crunch roll (they OD on the spicy mayo and crunchy flakes) *philly roll (their tuna is super salty and they put too much cream cheese) have a nice dinner! read more

Very nice Japanese restaurant. Perhaps the most well decorated restaurant on 18th Avenue. We for the Sushi for Two, which was humongous. Was definitely enough for 3 or more people. Don't get an appetizer if you also get the Sushi for Two- you won't be able to finish it all. I'm not a sushi expert, but everything seemed fresh and well prepared. read more

Tenzan - New location - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the lady waitresses was extremely rude. She did not look very welcoming. She looked very impatient and rudely snapped at us. The food was good, like any regular sushi restaurant. I just wish the waiters were more responsible (if that's the word) and if there was more of a welcoming feel. read more

I was looking for a Japanese sushi place in the good o' neighborhood and stumbled upon Tenzan. Not bad for hibachi and sushi. At the time I walked in the restaurant the sign in the window saying it was a B rating but this did not discourage me from entering. Needs updating from the outside. Inside they have those intimate booths where you take off your shoes and put your feet in under the table. 3 sushi chefs at the counter as soon as you walk in on your right. The service and food was A-OK! read more

The plain California Roll is the standout at this place. Big chunks of ripe avocado. Average sushi and Japanese food everything else overall. They are pretty big, new/clean, offer private booths, and have both a sushi counter and a bar. read more

Tenzan is an upscale Japanese restaurant located in Bensonhurst. Very beautiful interior, with a second floor and private, authentic Habachi rooms (you have to take your shoes off and you sit low, oriental style). Slightly more expensive than your standard sushi place in B-Hurst. Ask for Eve! She's great. Overall a great spot to grab some drinks and fresh sushi with a great ambience in the area. read more

I have to say that I was very impressed and think that this is my new favorite sushi place in Brooklyn. They put a lot of work into the ambiance of this place- it's modern and a bit on the fancy side with a casual vibe. The rolls and the sushi were very good and tasted exceptionally fresh. I was especially pleased with the prices of this place, significantly less than a lot of the places in bay ridge. The only thing that I think needs improvement is the service, although it's not terrible in any way, I think they can use some improvement by being more attentive. read more

The newly renovated Tenzan is much bigger with two floors and has now moved across the street from the old one. This place has huge potential. The sushi and food here is awesome. The sashimi pieces are huge! It's great for groups, especially when you want your privacy. They have these sliding doors that are great for the japanese decor. The last time I was here, they were working on Japanese BBQ! Which is great for this area. I don't think there is any other authentic japanese bbq restaurants in the area. What I almost always get from here is the Lady M Green Tea crepe cake! Yes! They sell this here! Don't quite remember the pricing on it, but for a quick fix, I wouldn't have to run all the way to the Upper East Side for this anymore. 3 stars only because the service is extremely horrible. They're not rude, they're just slow and not attentive. read more

Every time I'm craving sushi, I always find myself coming back here! I live in the neighborhood so this place is perfect in location for me. The food is always delicious and the waiters are always so pleasant. I highly recommend their bento boxes and udon noodles! Even the salads taste amazing and nothing is ever too heavy on the stomach. Even if you are not a fan of raw fish, they still have plenty of options! Great decor and atmosphere as well. read more

My favorite! Everything is always fresh, delicious- the place is clean. The staff is amazing. I love eating in and ordering take-out from here. If you order from anywhere else in the neighborhood- you are missing out! read more

I come here pretty often mainly due to the huge chunks of salmon they give you for sashimi. I usually order the Salmon Special, which is 6 sashimi pieces, 3 sushi pieces and 1 salmon roll for $15. The portions are generous and I usually have to share my plate with the rest of the table. Their dragon roll is great too - they always seem to have perfectly ripe avocado! However, the last few times I have been here, the portions seem to have gotten smaller and the salmon doesn't seem to be as fresh. One particular server is pretty pushy. I'm not sure if she recognizes us because every time we come here, she serves us and she keeps pushing us to order more dishes! The new location across the street is definitely nicer and I like the decor. However, it says outside that there is Japanese BBQ and we've been asking since they moved and the BBQ tables still aren't ready yet! I'll keep coming here when I'm craving sushi near home but I hope the dishes don't keep shrinking! I would recommend since they have lots of variety and the prices are pretty reasonable, especially if you come for the lunch specials. read more

We love coming here for sushi and sapporo! Just found out they have 4 locations in the city. read more

See all

Pros: Beautiful ambiance and price isn't too high. Very comfortable atmosphere. Service is great. Cons: Fish quality is off and on. Sometimes I eat here and its pretty good, other times I have bitten into ugly chunks of fish that were tough and clearly frozen. read more
