    Omurice ($23)- generous portion of perfectly fried pork with an omelette on a bed of fried rice; the star of our meal
    Daniel L.

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

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

    Omurice (with Pork)
    Andrew L.

    Was in the area so ordered a takeout for lunch from Tenjou. The Omurice sounded unique so had to try it and ordered it with pork. It was expertly prepared and was delicious. The egg had a firm exterior but was nice and silky inside. It probably would have been even better if I had eaten it at the restaurant but it travelled fine.

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

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

    Ordered the Tokyo tonkotsu ramen, shrimp tempura roll, and Yakitori platter which were delicious. Food came out in five minutes, fast by any measure. The beer was cold & the ramen was hot - what else can you ask for?

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

    Omurice with pork
    Soo L.

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

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

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

    Amazing lunch deal. $25 for miso soup, kani salad or seaweed salad, appetizer of the day, and either 3 classic rolls or one specialty roll. So delicious. I couldn't finish it- was so much food!

    two special rolls
    Morlene C.

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

    April L.

    Tenjou at their usual price I would give a 4 stars but I think Tenjou for their Happy Hour and Lunch Set deals, they are a 5 stars since it makes the rolls and lunch options much more affordable, especially for the area. Service is pretty quick even during the busier dining hours and the ambiance is lively and pretty casual as there are many friend groups and families to be seen dining here.

We only had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated. They definitely get crowded though, so it's best to have a reservation! During "lunch" hours, the place is brightly light. Once "dinner" hours comes around, they set out candles on the tables and dim the lights for a different ambiance. The service was a bit off at first, since we waited a while to get our appetizers. This might have been due to the change in staff between lunch and dinner. The hostess noticed and checked on our appetizers, and got them right out. Afterwards, we had different waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. We did the Pick 3 appetizers: -Kyuri (cucumber): love the mix of flavors with the onions, vinegar and salt. The kyuri has a good bite to them -Kimchi Mushroom: the mushrooms also had a good bite to them. Not too spicy of a kimchi sauce, which I liked as it did bot overpower the mushrooms. -Shishito: I enjoyed the saltiness of the kelp with the char of the shishito. I went for the Tsukemen, which I loved at the Brooklyn location. This was just as good! The noodles had a good bite and the right thickness for the rich broth. I like the lemon on the side to help cut some of the richness. The egg is well marinated and perfectly jammy. The Hassaku Grapefruit Juice is a nice non alcoholic option. Very grapefruity and too sweet. We ended with the Tokyo Banana, which had a deliciously bruleed banana. They wrote Happy Birthday on the plate and had a little candle on the side. We only put it in the reservation, so it was nice of them to do. Overall, a great ramen spot to check out!

I got the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen because I love to have spice in mine, but wish I was able to adjust the spice level. It was definitely super creamy, thick, and filling. The noodles were soft, yet still chewy. For those who were afraid of getting the Spicy Tan but still wanted the spice, they suggested getting Classic Tonkotsu and having chili oil on the side to put in. I really debated which one I liked more!

We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

This spot delivers the kind of authentic paitan that reminds you why people used to line up on cold sidewalks just for a bowl. I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
