Tenkiyo Tokyo Station Review (2026): Grand Roof Tempura

​

Nestled underground at Tokyo Station, on the B1F of Gransta Yaesu, you'll find this fantastic tempura spot!

​

​

​

They meticulously select seasonal ingredients and fry them to perfection in a special safflower blended oil, resulting in a delightfully light and crispy tempura.

Stepping inside, my eyes immediately caught sight of the drinks selection.

Since it was around 9 PM on a Saturday evening,

I was lucky enough to walk right in without any wait!

It's a cozy, compact restaurant with around 8 seats, mostly at the counter, so while queues might form during lunch or peak hours,

I was able to settle in comfortably during my visit.

Office workers were unwinding with a drink and enjoying their tempura,

Inspired, we decided to try the Sapporo Premium Non-Alcoholic,

a Tempura Tendon Set,

and a Tempura Soba Set.

Menu

Tempura Soba Set 2,750 yen

Tendon Tempura Rice Bowl 2,600 yen

Given its prime location in the Tokyo Station underground, the prices are a bit on the higher side.

The set comes with four types of seasonal vegetables,

crispy kuruma prawn tempura,

and refreshing mori soba.

An English menu was readily available, making ordering a breeze.

The Edo Tempura Tendon is a feast, featuring

two succulent prawns,

conger eel,

salmon,

maitake mushroom,

eggplant,

a perfectly cooked egg,

miso soup,

and pickled cabbage.

This set includes two prawns, two types of fish, two seasonal vegetables,

mixed kakiage tempura (finely chopped ingredients fried together),

soup, and pickled side dishes.

The ~$14 set includes:

Tempura

Two shrimp

Two types of fish

Two types of vegetables

And a full meal.

For tempura, you'll find:

Kuruma prawn

Conger eel

White fish

Japanese whiting

Seasonal vegetables

Shrimp tempura

There was also a ~$19 set that came with rice.

The ~$28 set features:

Autumn salmon, seasonal mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, edamame,

Kuruma prawn, and seasonal fish tempura, among other delights!

They also offered an Omakase Tempura Course!

The ~$40 option included sashimi, grilled dishes,

and various kinds of tempura.

You could also order individual tempura items à la carte!

Beyond tempura, there were also:

Sashimi

And salads available!

A wide selection of beverages was available, including beer, sake, non-alcoholic drinks, and even whisky!

The Food

We decided to try the Tempura Donburi Set for ~$16

and the Tempura Soba Set for ~$17.

While tempura can sometimes feel a bit rich,

they thoughtfully provided a small portion of napa cabbage kimchi.

Eating it alongside the tempura really helped cut through the richness!

To accompany your tempura,

you'll find a delightful blend of soy sauce and salt.

We also ordered a delicious non-alcoholic Sapporo beer

and a cola to go with our meal.

It's always great when side dishes are included!

My Tempura Donburi Set came with:

Shiso (Japanese basil/perilla leaf)

Egg

Maitake mushroom

Conger eel

Shrimp

Vegetable tempura

Salmon

And a comforting miso soup.

The salmon had absolutely none of that typical fishy taste,

the rice portion was surprisingly generous,

and every single item was simply delicious!

While not insanely crunchy,

it was so incredibly tasty that I even snuck a bite from my friend's dish!

The soba noodles were pretty good too!

Paired with the non-alcoholic drinks, the tempura

tasted even more divine!

While the portions were quite generous, it's worth noting that

adding rice comes with an extra charge of 150 JPY.

My friend opted for the soba and tempura set,

and let me tell you, the soba was incredibly generous, and it was a really well-put-together meal!

I'm usually not the biggest fan of tempura donburi, often finding it a bit too greasy,

but this one wasn't too salty or overly greasy at all,

and even the shiso, which is similar to Korean perilla leaves, was perfectly enjoyable – no resistance from me!

I truly ate a generous and delicious meal.

This spot is also kid-friendly,

and I saw several families enjoying their meals there.

Plus, the entire restaurant is a non-smoking zone, which is always a plus!

If you're ever wondering where to eat before or after catching the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station,

or just looking for a great meal near Tokyo Station,

Tenkiyo might be a *tiny* bit tricky to locate,

but it's well worth the effort! Just head towards Gransta Yaesu, and you'll be on the right track.

When I visited on a Saturday evening, there was no wait at all,

and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, with office workers unwinding over a drink and some delicious tempura.

If the price point isn't a concern for you,

and find yourself craving authentic Japanese tempura near Tokyo Station,

then definitely give Tenkiyo a visit!
