It's hard to rate this place because sometimes the food is 4 stars with generous sized shrimp and veggies and other times it's been more like 2 stars with sad skinny over cooked shrimp tempura. I'd say the pricing is fair and it's quick and easy in the food court at Mitsuwa so I recommend this place as a good option if you are shopping for groceries and looking for something easy. I would not necessarily drive all the way here just for their food but again, it's affordable and efficient so a solid option when at Mitsuwa. read more

You can't go wrong with this place! If you are craving for some good tempura bowl, this is the place for ya! Located in Mitsuwa marketplace food court. I don't even remember how many times I've eaten here but I remember I was beyond excited when Hannosuke opened their LA locations because I had been wanted to try their tendon since I was in Japan but never had a chance because I hate standing in a long line! Lol Their main store in Tokyo always has a long line!(I uploaded a pic!lol) That's why I was so happy when they opened LA locations! I can enjoy their famous tendon without a long wait:D Fried-to-order freshness, crunchiness of the batter, variety of tempura, their rich and deep flavored homemade sauce, portion.... I love everything about their Tendon! Especially the egg tempura! OMG! I love tempura and eat it often but I think this is the only tempura spot that serves egg tempura here in LA, at least I've never seen any other restaurants that serve it. You definitely should try their tendon if you haven't! read more

Edomae tendon was great! Everything was fresh and hot and tasted great. Rice is well cooked.

For over six years whenever I would go to the Mitsuwa market I would go to Santoka. For six years I would occasionally venture outside of Santoka and always regret my decision. That was until Hannosuke came into my life. Tempura... which of the sets to get? It doesn't really matter. They are all good. The soup sucks so don't expect anything from it. It's your standard miso soup that you can get anywhere. Heck, if you aren't hungry, don't even drink it. Save your stomach for the good stuff. When you get your bowl of tempura know that the sauce will already be on it so make sure to just jump in and eat. Don't wait for everyone else in your party to get food and don't get it for take out. TIP: If you get it for take out, make sure you ask for the sauce on the side. And even when you do that, know that it is not going to be as good as when you eat it fresh. The best thing here is the tempura fried soft boiled egg... and the tempura battered Nori... heck it's all good. This place has replaced Santoka in my heart. I never thought I'd say it but yea... my new go to spot. read more

The workers don't wash their hands and they do not wear gloves. The cashier goes from getting the take out ready straight to chopping the daikon/radish without hand hygiene or glove use. None of the workers wear gloves inside. read more

Hannosuke - Kitchen worker handling food without gloves - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

'Dat egg though... Cooked perfectly in order to keep the slight crunch from the tempura batter, while still a vessel for the golden, rich and creamy yolk that just spills all over your slightly spiced eel sauce rice. The tempura here is definitely top-tier, you can't go wrong with any of the combinations but the egg is a must. If you are feeling fancy the eel is a real treat. Prices are affordable, especially for the quality. Ambiance is lacking but it's a Mitsuwa food court, can't expect much. read more

I think this place has fallen off. Going to give it another chance in the future. Oh yeah it was super crowded today. I guess the Santouka line made people switch. I tried the chicken tempura. Wouldn't eat it again. It seemed strange, more pork-like. The fished seemed to have change as well. Wasn't as white meat nor as flaky as before. Sigh... read more

Oh watch out Santouka, you got some competition! I feel bad for the other eateries in the food court because Santouka and Hannosuke seriously steal the show. The Tendon (Tempura Donburi, not actually tendon) is a Tokyo specialty of tempura over rice and while I did not have it in Tokyo, there is a little info placard outside Hannosuke that writes what it's all about and how their shop in Tokyo is always packed with customers. This tempura rice bowl is not greasy (thank goodness), but so full of flavor--straight authentic Japanese flavor. Oh, take me back to Japan right now. Tendon is not like your typical tempura dish when you dip it in a dipping sauce--the sauce is drizzled over the rice and tempura added on top. They offer red pepper flakes and their new spicy tempura sauce for if you want to add spice to your dish. Their most popular is their #1, which features anago (saltwater eel), supposedly more healthy and less oily than unagi. I went for the #2 Original Tendon, which has tempura fish, shrimp, eggplant, shishito pepper, and soft boiled egg. The shishito pepper was my favorite--crunchy and succulent, eat it first for the best bite. I'm not a fan of running eggs, but when you break the battered soft boiled egg and mix it with the hot rice, it is such a treat. One bowl of these babies will get you FULL, like food coma full--but not the "oh my god, I feel sick and terrible full," the "damn, I just stuffed myself with some bombass food full." For $9.76, I'll take that. Definitely will try the #1 with the anago next time though, it's pretty hefty at $14 after tax, but hopefully worth it. Now I'm going to struggle with whether I want Santouka or Hannosuke every time I go to Mitsuwa. read more

Hannosuke - original tendon (#2) with miso shiro - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food at Hannosuke is amazing. It's consistent every time and delicious. However, this is not a review of the food but a PSA for credit card theft for anyone planning to eat here. Today, Sunday, 10/23, our order was taken by an employee named Koto H (according to the receipt). As we prepared to pay at the Toast terminal, he asked my partner for his card and he prepared to tap it on the machine, but the employee stretched out his hand. Odd, but my partner handed it over for him to swipe as we figured the machine had problems. He then proceeded to place this card (Chase Sapphire Preferred) facing with the back up, took out his phone, and opened to Snapchat. The camera on the phone opened to the front-facing camera toward his face so he double tapped to flip the camera and proceeded to take a photo of the credit card information. I immediately questioned him and he shakily and quickly closed out the Snapchat before opening his Photos app on his iPhone to show me nothing is there. My partner didn't notice but my friend in line behind us noticed his strange behavior as well. He did not ask my friend who ordered and paid after us for his card - he tapped it himself so the machine was not broken. Beware as there's a chance he is doing this to unsuspecting people! read more

Yes! Finally a reason for me to get excited for a visit to the Mitsuwa food court! (I am not a fan of Santouka... you can read that review if you want to know why.) I am surprised myself that it's for a tempura place, but it's because it is different from any tempura I have ever tasted before. It's not the bready, light yellow, turns-soggy-if-any-condensation-gets-on-it kind that you normally see. It's golden yellow, super crispy, and fried up for you after you order. I had the chicken tendon bowl ($8.95) and every piece was worth the extra gym time it necessitated. My favorites were the fried shishito pepper, fried egg (LOVED this), and the mixed seafood. The fried seaweed was interesting and I tried some of my friend's fried eel, which was very tender and moist. It's the first (and currently, only) location in the U.S. of this Tokyo chain, so if you are lucky enough to live/be in the vicinity, you have to try Hannosuke! read more

Yes, the tempura is good. If you love tempura like I do, you will enjoy this place. I had the Edomae style ten don which has anago, two shrimps, nori, shishito pepper, sweet potato sliver, a kakiage of baby shrimp and scallops, and soft boiled egg. I also added the tempura fish for extra $2. So my whole bowl came out to $16 and some change. The tempura is flakey and delicious. I especially liked the soft boiled egg tempura, nori, shishito pepper, and the sliver of sweet potato. But I thought the anago tasted too much like the ocean. The fish was nothing special. The shrimp was good, but I LOVE shrimp tempura. And I can't justify paying $16 for liking only 5 pieces of tempura when the anago and fish were supposed to be the main attraction. Next time I will have to come and just get the tempura without the fish or sea eel. read more

If you're ever here from Monday to Thursday between 3pm to 6pm, thats when their happy hour occurs. You'll get the best deal of $2 off every bowl or plate. The specialize in tempura dishes. Cooked perfectly, no excess amount of oil. You can get their biggest dish and it'll still be light on your stomach. They are not stingy on giving rice, I always end up with some leftover. The only downside would be that they serve some parts of your meal with styrofoam. read more

Hannosuke - Restaurant front - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went there yesterday . Looking forward to eating here since I don't come out often . Got there around 11:30 , not open . All the other food stands were open . Supposed to open at 11 am , they were in the back preparing stuff . I saw a guy w/ a baseball cap come out to the front counter around 12 pm . I asked if they're open he rudely said "no" & just went about his business . He could've told me they were opening in a few minutes. Saw they finally opened at 12:15 & were taking orders . I already ordered next door at Misasa & they were much nicer. You just lost my business Hannosuke!! read more

Came across this place on yelp and decided to make the trip out to the west side to see what the hype is all about. And, sweet baby jesus, am I glad I did!! Love love LOVE. Amazing, delicious tempura!! Can't believe there's a place that is dedicated to just tempura and I've never been before!! Definitely a game changer. Hannosuke is located in the Mitsuwa foodcourt adjacent to Santouka, so the spot was poppin on a Sunday afternoon. Waited in line for 5 minutes, then placed my order for the Edomae Tendon bowl once I found out anago was eel and not something else I hated. Everything is made to order, so I had to wait an excruciatingly long 15 minutes for my number to be called. The bowl came with the eel, 2 shrimps, scallops, sweet potato, soft boiled egg, nori, shishito pepper... I think that was "it." More than enough! Such a great deal for around $14. The piece of anago was massive and could've cost that much alone. Everything was delicious!!! Batter was wonderfully crispy with a slight sweetness. The sauce on top of the rice was perfect. I loved breaking the egg yolk and watching it flow slowly over the rice and coat it. Yummm. I was worried about overdosing on fried foods, but everything was surprisingly light and big on flavor! And to be honest, if I had to overdose on anything, Hannosuke tempura would be my drug of choice! read more

Hannosuke - Edomae tendon bowl! Worth every single calorie. - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Long time ago... they used Sesame oil... it made incredibly good Tempura... but they don't use it anymore because other stores(or Mitsuwa?) complained about its smell... BUT I STILL GIVE 4 STARS FOR THEIR TEMPURA. The quality of their tempura is better than any other restaurant in Los Angeles even they located at the food court. Edo-mae-tendon is my favorite, but it's kinda pricy. For me, it's worth to pay the price so I don't mind it tho!:) This was the first Japanese food after I moved to USA, so it's special. I wish they used sesame oil again... read more

I ordered a sukiyaki tempura plate and 2 extra shrimp. When I got home the extra shrimp was missing and I was charged $4.00 for 2 extra shrimp When I called them to explain and if they could credit my credit card the lady replied ok and hung up. I called again and the lady hung up on me. I called 3 more times times and the Hispanic lady kept hanging up on me. What kind of workers do you have that don't have any manners and obviously need customer service training. I would like to complain to the owners and let them know how rude their worker is. That lady should be reprimanded for her lack of respect & customer service read more

Finally a food stand that will likely succeed in this previously forsaken spot in the Mitsuwa food court. Tendon - is not tendon - my hubby was a little scared to get the bowl because he thought that there would be tendon in his rice bowl. He had this association because he knows that I love my beef tendon noodle soup - which is a different topic..... I explained to him that Tendon is Japanese for tempura rice bowl. The tempura is made to order to guarantee that it's freshly made. The tendon bowl that we got was okay - it was a little too brown for good tempura, but for the price, you can't really complain. The soft boiled egg is a nice touch - if you are okay mixing the yolk with your rice after finishing the tempura. read more

I like this place. The upside is that I don't walk away feeling like a grease ball after eating a bowl of tempura. Win. They must season their batter with something because it's definitely the tastiest tempura I've ever eaten. Try the Original Ten-don that comes with two pieces of shrimp, fish, mini shrimps and scallops, shisito pepper, potato, a soft-boiled egg, and a piece of seaweed. They put it over a bed of rice and put some sauce over it, so you don't need tempura sauce. It also comes with some ginger and miso soup on the side. Quick tip: this dish can get a little heavy/repetitive, so go buy some kimchee in the market and eat it together. It's bomb dot com! Side notes: -I actually came here two days in a row because I wanted to try it again. My first experience was kinda meh when I bit into a cold piece of tempura. Wait, I waited 10 minutes for cold tempura? Luckily that was the only piece that was cold... -When I came here for the second time, I saw that they pre-fry a lot of their veggies and let it sit out. Boo. Thus explains cold piece of tempura. -The wait here can be a little ridiculous. Today I felt like I waited for nearly 20 minutes for my food. read more

Food never disappoints! No frills just amazing authentic Japanese tempura combos. When I want my fix this is where I go

It was awful! The tempura was so brown and greasy and shrimps were super small. The Anago was tasty but that's it. The rice was hard and dry. Super gross and not worth eating even though I tried. This was the last time. Let's be real, it's been terrible my last few visits and I'm done with this Hannosuke on the Westside. Save your money cuz it's an absolute waste. The other spots in the food court at Mitsuwa are so much better for tempura. It's really sad quality for a Japanese restaurant. read more

I have been here before the pandemic and the tempura used to be great. I went here today and the tempura in the original tendon was overcooked, soggy and not fresh. It was a waste of $15. Some of the entrees are over $20 with tax, which is not worth it. It's cheaper if you go to the grocery store for the same quality. read more

My mom and sister have been raving about this place and they always go on the weekdays while I'm at work. Talk about favorite child. ..jk Anyway, I finally got the chance to try this myself. They have tempura of things I've never even tried before! I got the edomae tendon bowl which came with two shrimps, anago (eel), kakiage, seaweed, shishito pepper and a soft boil egg. The tempuras were ON POINT! I can never eat tempura the same way again!!! The tempura was a perfect crisp with a good ratio of batter. Everything was delicious! My bf doesn't like eel so I happily ate the whole thing myself. The egg was cooked just right with the yolk oozing out. Even the rice was of quality. Despite this being our second lunch of the day, we finished the bowl without any guilt. read more

Saw an episode of Baek Jongwon's Alley Restaurant about tendon. Booked marked the restaurant to try when I go to Korea but still wanted to try it. On the way back from Redondo Beach, we dropped by the Mitsuwa Market and saw that they were selling Tendon. Loved every piece of tempura. Definitely will visit again and again for tendon fix. read more

Grand opening day and got the free donburi! :) Located in the Mitsuwa Marketplace, this is Hannosuke's first foray outside of Japan and it is not bad. Well, not bad for free. First off, I was surprised at how not busy it was (if there was a day to go to Santouka, it would have been today). Second, they were all REALLY nice. Smiles, greetings. It was kind of exciting and weird, because, you know, it's L.A. Third, I'm going to have to come back. It was all done "to go" for the free tempura, so it got steamy and a little soggy. No biggie. IT WAS FREE. I really enjoyed the eel, which is something I don't normally like. The sauce on the rice was good and I loved the soft egg. Would I come back? Yes. Is it pricey? Probably. Honestly, I've paid more for more ridiculous stuff (did I just buy 2 bags of Japanese Kit Kats?). And if you don't want to go... you are steps away from ramen and sushi! read more

Hannosuke - Grand opening day. - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow damn, I bookmarked this place months ago before my trip to LA. Because I love tendon, and it's impossible to find a decent one around where I live (Northern Virginia) Hannosuke located in food court area of Mitsuwa Japanese market. Tendon basically is a rice bowl with fried shrimps and vegetables. But it's not just typical greasy fried food. The chefs here are the fried experts. I ordered the original tendon, plus extra orders of fried soft-boiled egg and white fish. The portion is huge, you get shrimps, few different vegetables (seaweed, pumpkin, shishito pepper) and soft-boiled egg. They also drizzle savory tempura sauce to make the rice bowl even more delicious. Everything were perfectly fried. Not greasy at all, somehow it's flavorful yet very light. I especially love those fried soft-boiled egg. What a clever idea! Crispy outside, and the yolk inside still runny. You can mix it with the rice, it's so freaking tasty. I don't think I ever experience marvelous food at a food court. This place definitely serve quality food. Though, the cashier guy was kinda rude, but who cares when you also get to eat this excellent tendon. This food court also has Santouka ramen (one of the best ramen shops in U.S.) which located in the same food court area. What a gold mine! Can't wait to come back again lol. read more

Indulgent deep-fried perfection. This sets the new bar for tempura. I've been accustomed to mediocre extra crispy tempura for too long! This place was like an awakening that heightened my sense of what good deep fry is all about. I ordered the original ten don bowl. The batter was light, almost fluffy. They usually pour the tempura sauce on for you but I asked for it on the side. I think it somehow tastes better when they pre-sauce it for you. The bowl was delightful. Don't get me wrong -- this is a chock full of likely unhealthy trans-fat, but for those 12 minutes of bliss, I think it was worth it. White fish, shrimp, nori, peppers and a vegetable were all beautifully tempura'd up. This is a great alternative to the delicious ramen place next door (which I couldn't resist but get a small bowl of spicy miso ramen)... But that's for another review. In the words of my boy, Limzer, elite yelper extraordinaire, holla! read more

Hannosuke - Ten don bowl - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food here, particularly the tempura, is overall quite good. However, the customer service can sometimes be slow and not super polite.

In my book: THIS PLACE IS OF LEGEND. I am probably incredibly biased because tempura is one of my most coveted and favorite food. But really, that tendon bowl is something else. So that tendon bowl just means basically a tempura bowl, which variates with the vegetable, all shrimp or with Kisu (fish) or any combination of both. Comes with a runny egg, some seaweed (nori), a sweet potato, some other vegetables and hot hot hot steamy amazing rice. The best thing about this place for me its that the food is straight up delicious, no fancy corners and SIMPLE, no hype. just great tempura, nice piping hot rice, and an egg to make things richer. My usual order is the tendon bowl, all shrimp, and then I add a Kisu and call it a day. thats enough to make me full and happy for the rest of my days. To be honest, this place is what makes Mitsuwa market place such a good trip for me as I don't really live close or anything. I want to go back so bad! I probably will ... in a bit. read more

One of the heavier meals I've ever had - this was literally my only meal all day, and I left a lot of rice (uh oh, my face) behind. But delicious. So delicious. If this man's vision is to give America the gift of amazing tempura, he has done it, and at a portion size where you can easily share with your friends. The batter is a delicious blend of soy sauce salty-sweet, and the seafood really sings. Extra points for being inventive: I didn't even know you could deep-fry nori, for one. PS. The guy I ate across from had just come from donating blood. YES. That is what you need to do to put this baby down. read more

I came here on June 10, 2021 and arrived at maybe 7:23pm? The lady there said they were closed even when their sign says 7:30pm closure. I asked when they closed and she said 7:25 last order. Very disappointed she lied. read more

It's not the normal tempura you expect. That crispy crunch isn't there but this slightly moist and incredible flavor is an experience you won't be disappointed in. It is in the same food court as Santouka Ramen so be sure to stake out a seat because it's crowded. There was plenty of food and it was just heavenly. I split the original with my mom so I can only comment on a few parts of it - she devoured the miso soup, tempura egg, and tempura eggplant on her own. I was able to have some of the fish tempura which just melted in my mouth, the shrimp tempura was bursting with flavor, and perfect rice to complement everything. It's hard to describe the complex flavor of the tempura, almost like a sweet soy sauce and spices are infused into it and it's just heavenly! read more

Probably the best Tendon (tempura rice bowl) I've ever had. They are located inside Mitsuwa's food court. I usually get my typical Santouka ramen when I make it here. However, I really wanted to try this new place since it looked pretty good. They did not disappoint at all. Everything you see is fried to order. You can actually see them doing it through the window as they are cooking it. You can only get it with eel, or with white fish. I got the eel and my wife got the white fish. I tried both and they were both excellent. I highly recommend this place if you are thinking about trying something special. A+++++ read more

I've had this place on my bookmark for some time (wanted to go here but too far from where i live) and i finally had it recently!! So My girl and i went here after a long day of shopping and we where both looking for something that's fried and oily lololol i remembered this place and happened to be very close to where we where!!! So this place is located inside the Mitsuwa on the Centinela Ave. (in the food court). And let me just say this... the food court here is WAAAAAYYYYY BETTTER than the Mitsuwa food court at Irvine!!! they have so many other choices here~!! PLUS THEY HAVE HANNOSUKE!!! hahahh they should have this place in every Mitsuwa like Santouka! So we ordered the Edomae tendon!! so this one is the one with anago (saltwater eel) in it instead the regular one (regular fish) cuz we feeling fancy LOLOL When we go the Edomae bowl we didn't know how to eat it cuz OMG huge portion!! or all the tempura stuff were soo big hahahh the anago was pretty good, juicy and flavorful, and it goes soooo well with the rice (with sauce). But the best i think was the egg.... omggg its like the ramen egg but it's deep fried!! and when you eat the rice with the yolk OMMMGGGGGG sooo gooood!!! CASH ONLY!!! Taste: 4.0 Presentation: 4.5 Ambiance: 4.0 (store front design, but seating in foodcourt) Service: N/A Price: 4.0 Chewie's Rating: 4.13 Tempura thumbs UPPPP!!!! read more

Hannosuke is located in the Mitsuwa food court and specializes in tempura, which comes in ten-don (tempura over rice) form, or with zaru soba. I ordered the zarusoba with tempura for $10. The zaru soba's texture was just okay, and the dipping broth (tsuyu) was standard, a bit salty and straight from a bottle. They also only give a little bit of green onion and nori. Zaru soba is a hard dish to mess up and this one was okay, just not that great either. The tempura on the other hand, was very crisp and light and delicious. It isn't too greasy and the ingredients inside are the perfect consistency. It's not the best ever, but it's very good. Overall however, in conjunction with the weak zaru soba, I don't know if the combo was quite worth the $10 price. Update: I tried the Edomae Ten-don more recently (tempura bowl with eel tempura) for about $14. This was a much better dish than the tempura and soba separately. The shrimp tempura, kakiage (assorted ingredients, mostly smaller shrimp), and the soft-boiled egg tempura were particularly good. A teriyaki-ish sauce adds a lot more flavor to the tempura and brings the fried foods and rice all together. The combo also comes with a pretty solid miso soup. Definitely stick with the ten-don here and you won't be disappointed. read more

I usually don't order Tempura as a main part of the meal. It's usually just one piece in my ramen or a side dish. But when I saw this place at Mitsuwa, I went for it cuz I've never seen another tempura bowl place in Mitsuwa before! Well, at least not the Mitsuwa's in the OC. I ordered the #1 tempura bowl with fish, shrimp, pepper, kakiage and a poached egg. BOOOOOOOOOMB. The tempura came out freshly fried, with a side of miso soup and ginger. My favorite part of the bowl was the poached egg, with a yolk that just oozes out all over the rice underneath. Each piece of tempura was huge. The fish was flaky and the kakiage had a good amount of shrimp in it. I was stuuufffed. It was solid for a $9 bowl. Wish they would open one up in the OC. read more

Although parking can get a bit complicated and squishy at Mitsuwa, the food court is definitely worth it. Never in my life have I had such crispy & light tempura.....I still have dreams of the tempura poached egg! I tried the original tendon, which included shrimp, kakiage, nori, shishito pepper and whitefish with a side of miso soup. Their tempura sauce is so tasty-it's sweet and a bit spicy and goes so well with everything. My only complaint is that they don't give you enough sauce on the side, and the miso soup was watered down. Next time I'll be getting the plate instead to keep the tempura from getting soggy! read more

Hannosuke - Original Tendon - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cash Only. I had heard/read about the amazing tempura here and ventured out to the west side to give it a try. I particularly like my tempura to be crispy, clean, so this was a different experience. The tendon (#1) on their menu came with an assortment of fried goodies, atop a bed of rice and drizzled with some sweet sauce. The sauce does make the tempura soggy so you lose the crunch factor. The flavors were good, but it was a bit too sweet/salty for my liking. At $8.95, I did think it was priced right. The service was almost non-existent. The guy didn't greet or smile, just wrote my order down and took the money. I know you have great tempura and all, but it's ok to say hello and thank you. After looking around the food court, the tempura served out of the kitchen at Misasa seemed more like the kind I'd enjoy. read more
