Food was very good. This was my family's first "going out to dinner since pandemic started". I have question for the owner. All food was served in plastic takeout containers. Why? read more

My family and I frequent this establishment for dinner. Unfortunately as of today we will not be returning, which is a huge disappointment. We arrived at 6pm on a Thursday evening. The place was empty besides 2 rooms, so we were seated in the 3rd private room. We ordered our kids food first and 2 drinks. Their food and my husband's drink came rather quickly, however my drink took some time. Not a big deal since the kids were happily eating. We waited patiently for our 2 rolls and an appetizer. My husband finally asked about our order and they apologized stating it's been very busy. We waited some more... and we noticed the room next to us, that had arrived after us, were receiving their rolls. I stood at the door of our room and noticed patrons in the main room, which were not there when we first got there, we're also getting their rolls. I was fuming at that point. We had already been in the restaurant for an hour. When I confronted the waitress, she again stated it was busy. So I called her out on her BS and let her know that we were here way before these 2 other parties. She finally confessed that she forgot to put in the order. At this point it was 7:30. We finally received our order, but I was already fuming because we have 2 toddlers with us. Thank god they are really good kids. The owner of the place came to our room and asked if we wanted a drink... I thought ok, they will redeem themselves with buying a round of drinks. My husband just got his 2nd drink, so he didn't order one but I asked for another drink. We agreed that if they took off a round of drinks we would forgive such a terrible mess up. Surprisingly but not really surprisingly no drinks were taken off our bill. As we left the place, I asked to speak to the manager but she was not there. I informed the waitress that we would not be returning. We were loyal patrons and felt an olive branch should have been extended to us. We will not be going to their other location as well. Have to find another place that serves good sushi and lychee martinis. read more

Me and my significant other have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. The sushi is always flavorful and fresh and pretty much any hot dish is always made with care and quality in mind. We never seem to have to wait for service or for our check and the prices are very affordable for the food and service received. They even play and caption relevant sporting events and/or science shows, both of which I very much enjoy when I'm not engaged in conversation with the people I'm with. And one more thing; this place seems super clean. Even the bathrooms seem incredibly well-maintained! I always feel like I got MORE than what I paid for when we come here and I couldn't recommend this place enough. Anytime someone comes to visit me in my neighborhood this place comes up as a suggestion because I know anything we get will be amazing. read more

I live in the area, so come whenever I'm in dire need of sushi and can't trek to the city. Tenzan is passable, but nothing is extraordinary. All the staff are Chinese, so don't expect an authentic Japanese experience. The salmon sashimi is decently sized and priced. read more

This is a great sushi place. Fresh sashimi and the sushis are good too. There are some original ones. The place is clean and cozy. Customer service is good. I would go back. read more

Tenzan - Sushi & sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is nicer and larger than most of the nearby sushi places. It's a good place for a date or dinner with friends. Food was good, and prices were ok. I'm taking off a star because service could be better. Wait staff did not come over often and had to be waved over for the things they forgot to bring or to ask for another drink or to request the check. There seemed to be two people waiting on our table and neither one of them was attentive. read more

Love the Sushi at this place 1st time very impressed 2nd time the server was a little slow. The food is worth going again and again. read more

My go-to sushi place in Brooklyn. I've been coming to this place for years because they always have the best quality sushi. Their sashimi is sliced so thickly that you really feel like you're getting the most bang out of your buck. Their sushi rolls, unlike many other restaurants, also contain a good amount of fish and not just stuffed with rice to fill you up. My family and I always get the same thing when we come here: the sushi for 3 and a shrimp & vegetable tempura entree. Their sushi for 3 comes with tons of sashimi, 5 different kinds of sushi, and 3 sushi rolls. Paired with the shrimp tempura, it's always just enough for the 4 of us, even leaving room for dessert after. Get the green tea tempura ice cream - it's so worth it. read more

I've tried Tenzan when it was across the street. Meh. Tried Tenzan when it was rebuilt. Meh. Tried it again recently. Meh. It's not bad! It's the closest decent sushi joint by my place. I like their private dining booths. Cozy. The little bar by the corner is also nice, when you're keeping it casual. I wouldn't set foot here much, unless someone's visiting and no one wants to travel too far for some sushi. Would recommend their Eel Don--lots of fish! read more

Order take out 30% of the order screwed up not delivered what was ordered because lack of English. Sushi very basic taste nothing special. We done with that place no more. read more

After moving across the street, this place taste better than before. They have a much bigger area now....I love their full bar, though I am still not legal to drink. There foods are all great, and pictures are worth a thousand words...SO take a look at the photos I took. My favorite was the Beef Negimaki- I give it 10/10 It was so juicy and nicely wrapped up with onions on the side. I love the sauce. The waiters are very friendly, but it did took awhile for my foods to come, but I don't blame it because there is a lot of people. I was offered with four tables pushed right against each other the last time I went since I had a party of 6. They gave us plenty of rooms to move around and chill. What I loved the most when we were finished was; people were still waiting for seat, but the staffs did not try to get us going with our check and continued to offer us tea and water, plus letting us take pictures. read more

came back here in April for a friend's birthday. A big improvement since the last time i came here. Service and everything. This time, the service was quite outstanding. Most of the food we order was good. I didnt give the tuna tataki another try though, but i hope that has improved as well. The Kani salad was a great improvement compare to how it was when i had it last time, its not JUST cucumber, the imitation crab meat was a lot better... and looked more like a kani salad. Their sushi and sashimi are all nice, its fresh, at least on that day I went back, they were. And hopefully they are as fresh everyday. Overall, after this update, I will go back some other time. and maybe try that tuna tataki out again, lolz. read more

Best place for sushi in Brooklyn. The rolls are a bit pricey but the sashimi, chirashi, and salmon special are average price, maybe even cheaper ($18.95, $16.95, and $14.95 respectively) and has HUGE almost inch-thick slices. The sashimi special for lunch is totally worth the $9.95 because the pieces are also massive. The food tastes great too, fresh and will really fill any sashimi craving. Also great for large parties in the private rooms or you can reserve upstairs. For party rooms, don't have more than fifteen people(no matter what they say), less if there is anyone bigger than average. Must take off shoes for the party rooms so hope no one's feet stink! read more

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

We took a break from Tenzan to try new spots in the area, but not many places could compare. Their hand rolls, sushi , and noodles are always fresh and delicious. We have ordered here a few times during COVID and only once was their delivery a little slow but definitely worth the wait! read more

This is one of the best sushi spots I've been too. The food taste very fresh and delicious. The service was very good too. I would definitely recommend to try this place out. read more

I have been a loyal customer for many years pre pandemic. On Thursday, July 29th around 9PM, I brought my friend here for a special occasion only to find that it was completely empty and the customer service has gone down the drain. The waitress was extremely rude and they even served my appetizer in plastic disposable containers (photo attached) instead of the usual bowls they use. There was also no music playing and when we asked for music, the staff said they could not turn it on. This was obviously really disappointing because I was aware of how good the service used to be before the pandemic. Did I think the food was still good on this night? I thought so but please continue reading. Regardless, my friend and I finished the food and left, knowing never to come back. Today I am writing this review two days later because my friend and I have had and are still experiencing the WORST FOOD POISONING OF OUR LIVES and I am sure you all know what that means, it is not pretty. Eating at Tenzan was the only instance we have eaten together in months, so when I found out he also had food poisoning aligned me, we both knew it was Tenzan and contacted them today, July 31st. The person who answered, Jiahui, completely disregarded my explanation and could not even empathize and even pretended to be the manager at one point before saying a manager would call me back. An Eric called me back, who I later found out isn't even a manager, completely denies the fact that their food was unsanitary and unhygenic. Instead of properly giving us a refund, he said they "investigated" and they do not believe me. They also told me that I should go see a doctor and take legal action. I told him unfortunately my food poisoning has been so bad, I cannot leave the house and I am obviously not going to legally take action for the ~$60 that my friend and I spent. I was just appalled at this heartless respond, the audacity for them to accuse my friend and I of lying when their restaurant is selling old/unsanitary food. I IMPLORE you all to save your bodies by not visiting this restaurant because you will probably miss work for a few days (it is my 2nd day with this food poisoning, I don't know how much longer I will be ill). You will get the worst food poisoning of your lives and they will yell at you for it. It is extremely disappointing to see what little they have become. THe terrible service alone was originally enough to never revisit this resturant. We ordered the Philadelphia Roll, Pork Katsu Dinner Box, and Agemono Pork (which the waitress got wrong and gave use two Pork Katsus), I am so glad I took some photos that day. Also, what some of the newer comments saying are true, the owner just walks around in flip flops and pajamas. I always enjoyed her personality but today I see her true colors. read more

(Worst) Service: Slow! We waited at least 20 minutes to order. The restaurant was not full however all of the servers seemed to be on break. After dinner we asked for dessert menus and were ignored. Finally after 15 minutes of no dessert menus, we asked for the check from a server walking by. Food was a disaster ! I ordered Shrimp teriyaki. The vegetables were burned and the shrimp was over cooked and extremely chewy ! read more

Food is good but it is too pricey for what I can get at another sushi restaurant. The delivery people here are really bad, rude and unprofessional. They also take forever to deliver the food. You charge so much for your food, spend some of that money to hire better delivery people read more

This is a very nice Chinese owned Japanese/sushi restaurant. They have nice private rooms where you need to take off your shoes. I had the salmon bento box, some random rolls, and 2 pieces of uni. The food was so good and the service was really good too. I recommend this place for big groups. The restaurant is very spacious and not tiny. read more

Wow, a super fancy sushi place on 18th avenue? After the multitudes of failed Japanese-but-actually-Chinese restaurants, Tenzan has always stayed. And for a while, I waited patiently for the new Tenzan, which arose out of its ashes as an architectural babe. During dinner time, they always have a lady that brings us over to our seats. They're nice to give us rooms when we ask-- even when we were only a group of two. Service isn't exactly lightning fast when you're in a booth, but what do you expect? I would rather have a less attentive service than to be awkwardly interrupted every twenty minutes or so. They seated us, gave us our menus and drinks, and left us on our own to decide on food. When they're busier, they do tend to peek in, asking if we're done deciding or not but they're always respectful. The waitresses don't give fancy-schmancy stuck up service but they are quick, diligent, and respectful. In about twenty minutes or so, we're presented with our dishes. I actually haven't tried the sushi (but I have noticed that all my friends who did order rolls had a very generous filling with just enough rice to cover the seaweed), because I've been snooping around the other parts of their menu. But whatever you order, you'll know that the presentation will always be awesome to look at. So far, I've ordered: - Oyaku don: 7.5/10 Yummy, delicious and extremely satisfying. That aside, is it authentic? Heck no ! It's basically a very crispy egg omelette with pieces of somewhat dry chicken over a bed of rice. The rice is actually long grain, which is a bit disappointing. There's an assortment of carrots, pickled veggies, and onions in there to help round out the dish. An extremely delicious brown glaze/sauce is drizzled over. God, that sauce helps everything. True, the eggs were fried to the point of brown, crispy edges which is totally opposite of what a true oyaku don is (barely set eggs running over rice with pieces of tender chicken) but this stuff was really comforting. Still, it felt more like Chinese food then Japanese. - Teriyaki: 5/10 I'd stay away from the chicken and the beef teriyaki. My boyfriend ordered the combo teriyaki and they were both extremely dry. The chicken felt like pieces of chalk dipped into the trademark sweet teriyaki sauce. The beef wasn't much better. I imagined pieces of half fatty pieces of beef glazed over with the sauce, but it looked like sad little pieces of grayish-brown. The shrimp teriyaki, however, is an excellent opposite. Large, juicy pieces of shrimp ! The teriyaki is served on a sizzling platter. - Shrimp tempura udon: 9/10 Delishioususousos. I absolutely love the balance in this dish. A pretty large bowl of udon is given with a super clear soup that tastes a bit like miso/vegetable soup. A generous amount of wiggly, chewy udon is served that's perfectly al dente. Zucchini and carrots float around. Another dish is given-- the mother of all stuff that's fried. A mountain of fried. Yep. Three pieces of shrimp tempura, and fried pieces of various vegetable medallions are served with tempura dipping sauce. Unf. The tempura can be a bit inconsistent. When things get busy, the tempura can be a bit soggy. Fortunately, I came during a slow hour so everything was crunchytastic-- fried zucchini (mild, but in a fantastic sort of way), taro (subtle taro taste but still distinctively taro), sweet potato (creamy and just plain YUM), broccoli (disgusting and greasy with a bunch of oil sponged up between each of the florets). I'm supremely impressed with your decor and all that wood work, Tenzan. The food? I'm still on the fence! read more

I live very close by this, my local sushi place. I've been there three, four times but never got a chance to sit in those little rooms that's similar to real Japanese dining. Most of the time I am there, it's quiet, REAL quiet. Maybe because my neighborhood had variety of foods, but whatever the case may be, it's awkward to eat with friends and family and not here a thing around us. I went there a week ago for dinner to celebrate my friend's 19th birthday. I've decided to ask for those Japanese type rooms, since no one was inside the restaurant. We had to take off our shoes and clamp into a tight room. It was actually very homely, and gave us our personal space. This was much better than sitting outside with 20 tables and just three people sitting and talking. The food was, 'a - okay', the dishes weren't expensive (12 a dish), and is expected for a sushi restaurant. The Teriyakis never let me down, and the sushi was okay, but not that all great. I know I've tasted better sushi. I would say the perfect time to go eat there, would be afternoon, their lunch specials is really worth it, the Bento Box has a whole meal and it's around 7 dollars. I always wondered why it's so empty, but I haven't found a true flaw besides being extremely quiet and lonely. read more

One star for the deplorable service. My friend and I came here one night to catch up over sushi and sake. Because we weren't getting a full meal, we opted to sit at the bar (which, by the way, I think is a great feature). At first, everything was fine. Our order was promptly taken and we didn't have to wait long for our food and drinks. It was a little later in the evening on a weeknight, so it wasn't busy. However, there was an older man at the bar next to us who was drunk when we arrived and proceeded to get hammered as time went on. He kept talking to us and, at first, we were polite to him. At a certain point, he just became obnoxious and we tried to ignore him. Didn't work. He kept rudely butting into our conversation and began making inappropriate comments. I finally told him to leave us alone, but it didn't work. We told a staff member that he was bothering us, though I don't think we should have even had to considering he was able to see it himself. He kind of just shrugged, but then told the man to settle down. Instead of listening, the man got louder and made a huge scene. It was very uncomfortable and common sense would have told the employees to kick him out. When I said this to the hostess, she informed me that he was a regular. And then continued to serve him alcohol. I refuse to give my business to a place that condones this kind of behavior. read more

I came here with some coworkers one night. We had ordered the salmon special, and the yellowtail special. The fish is very fresh and was pretty good. We also ordered a seaweed salad. I suppose we went quite early so the place was pretty quiet throughout our meal. I didn't give this place 5 stars because although I liked the food and the service, nothing really wowed me. I like to be wowed when i have sushi. There are places that will wow me with presentation on the plate, there are places that will wow me with the decor, and there are places that will wow me with the tastes. Nonething seemed to wow me though. In fact the closest thing to almost wo me was the seaweed salad but I attribute that to be only because I never had it before. read more

I enjoyed my food & experience at this restaurant, which was recommended to me by a friend. The restaurant is clean, staff attentive and pretty fast. My only wish would be for the Tofu dishes to come fresh as opposed to fried. Or at least give an option to get one that's not fried. The sushi was good (I'm a Vegetarian; no fish or meat for me). I ordered few of the vegetable rolls and they came out wrapper with a thin layer of rice and lots of filling. Quite the opposite to what you normally get. But I liked it and I realized there's no need for think layer of rice on a sushi anyways. I thought it was tastier that way. read more

This is one of the better sushi places in Bklyn I've been to so far. However, I still don't find it worthy of 4 stars. The decor is nice and simple and the hallways has these very mini rooms that have the japanese sliding paper and wooden doors. The sunset roll is really good (it's not listed on the menu) and has seaweed (the type from seawood salad), eel, some crunchy stuff that's like tempura flakes, crushed peanuts, avocado in it topped with this sweet piece of something...I want to say it's a type of tofu but I'm not sure. This roll is sweet and I remembered it being better in my memory. And I got the spicy salmon which was fresh. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, if you happen to be around here, then go. read more

edit: I just have to add that this is a great place for vegetarian sushi. The Beauty Roll is amazing, and there is a Vegetable Sushi combination platter that is delicious and very pretty. This is the original Tenzan location. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Bensonhurst!?! What's going on?" Or something like that. Well, let me tell you, when I lived here, this place was a big part of what made it worthwhile. It also kept my later-to-be husband from leaving for greener pastures and a much longer commute for visits. They have a friendly front room and a small sushi bar. They also have several private rooms, complete with light up "I want service!" switches. The Love Boat is amazing, the Mango Dragon (my vegetarian choice) is delicious, and everything is made better with some seaweed salad and miso soup. Since moving out of Bensonhurst, I've longed to return. It's really worth the trip. The downside is that the train is pretty far away, but there's a bus that will take you right there. Oh! And the Sake! Yum, yum, yum. Complete with cold cucumber. Oh dear, I need to get back. See you there this weekend! read more

Came here last night to celebrate my mother in laws birthday. Been here previously and had a relatively good experience. This time it wasn't so great. Don't get me wrong the food was actually quite good. We ordered the tuna tartar and 2 rolls and they were tasty. Fish wasn't the freshest but it wasn't bad either. Most of us got a bento box and the portions were quite generous. The salmon sashimi in the bento was actually really good! Now onto why only two stars.. The service was atrocious... We originally ordered the salmon skin but then was told it was a salad and we said we wanted to cancel.. But it came anyway.. And the waitress wanted us to pay and eat it. Had to go through 2 ppl before they allowed us to cancel as we originally asked. We ran out of tea and asked 3 people and still didn't get our tea refilled (waited over 15 minutes). After we were done with our meal, the boss came by to ask if we wanted our check and if we wanted anything wrapped. She helped us wrap our leftovers and literally threw the food on the table. I've never seen such bad service not only from the waiters but from the boss herself. I feel that because of our earlier cancellation, they treated us poorly even though it wasn't our mistake. If I ever want take out, I may order from here but won't be dining in anytime soon. read more

From the old location: Rude and hard-to-comprehend staffs. Slapped my leg when I was about to take off my shoes in one of the private rooms. Give me an extra second old lady. What kind of staffs do this? Also accused us of paying $5 less but we didn't. Learn to count. Sushi was like any other $2.50 sushi spots but this place is more expensive. Not worth it. I also called for delivery once and the phone call took over 5 minutes when the order was simple: tuna teriyaki bento and some rolls. She was explaining to me several times to me that the tuna teriyaki is not the same as tuna in the rolls. Wtf? As if I didn't know that already. The bento costed like $16 with tax for dinner. The proportions are like for a kid. Also it looked and tasted exactly like rough chicken. Trying to fool the customers since it is a takeout order? Now the New location: upgraded to a nicer place, now would you please upgrade your food and service? The prices increased while the proportions decreased. Why is there even a line sometimes? You people are in Brooklyn and would rather pay more for less? read more

It was 10PM. We had a long day and our feet was dirty so we didn't want to seat in the booths because we would need to take off our shoes. (its cool and different but we asked for a normal table and they gave us another table) The restaurant was big and spacey. I ordered a dancing eel roll and a avocado salad. they were good. The only thing that annoyed me with this restaurant was that they didn't refill my tea. I had to ask 3 times. It was late and there isn't much customers, I think they should be more on point with the customers in the store. It would have definitely bump the stars to 4 stars. I will need to come back here to see if its any different in customer service. read more

Living RIght down the Street this was one of the first Sushi restaurants I experienced in Brooklyn. Being (at the time) a non initiate into Japanese dining etiquette, I was the source of a faux-pas. When being led to one of the booths in the back I didn't realize i was required to remove my shoes. After a quick and loud verbal correction i removed them, and apologized, admitting my ignorance. A delicious but slowly serviced dinner followed. On subsequent visits we were not treated terribly well. This ranged from glowers from a waitress upon entering the door, to apparent service oversights (being passed over for service, trouble flagging down a waitress on a night with just two other tables), to being rudely given our check before we have finished the main course. That being said the food is very tasty and well portioned. If you are going to eat at Tenzan, I say get take out. read more

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 place isn't bad. Pretty good for the price. The food tastes pretty good and the service is on point, even for Mother's Day. We had some of their cooked rolls (for the children and grandparents) and some of them are very unique with a crazy combination of flavors and textures. The only reason it's not 5 stars is their sashimi was at least 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. That's not what you want from sashimi but bang for buck, this place takes the cake. Plus they have a full bar. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for sushi and are in the area. Docked one star because they forgot two rolls and when we had the bill and noticed., they wouldn't knock it off the bill and forced us to take it. read more

Excellent food and overall experience. I came here with family for dinner on a Friday night. I hear they're usually crazy busy but we got lucky this night. We had a private dining room, complete with the traditional 'taking shoes off' custom. The salmon teriyaki dinner box was absolutely delicious with big portions. It came with the salmon teriyaki, rice, a large amount of veggie tempura with two large shrimp tempura, three pieces of shumai, and your choice of California roll, sushi, or sashimi. I had the sashimi option and it came with 6 fresh pieces. read more
