Overall dining experience was pleasure except hiccups on the seating option.
Very premium tasting starters as well as yakitori. The unagi omelette was very good – firm yet runny, and seriously eggy. The fish fritters were satisfying crisp and hot. The chicken thigh and tebasaki were just lightly salted and grilled very well, achieving an outer crisp without any char, while retaining their juiciness within. The mushroom was also grilled quite well, and came with a (mirin?) sauce that complemented it really well.

Their inclusive menu also includes a Veggie Dashi Ramen ($14.80++), which features wholegrain noodles in a dashi broth that’s made umami with porcini and shiitake mushrooms, and kelp.
I don't think I'd get it again though if it were to make a permanent appearance on the menu.
The quality and ambience of the place is better than the competition that are selling tendons at the $12-$15 range.
The ingredients were fresh, the batter was light, and the sauce was savoury and tasty, but there was not enough of the sauce. The tempura felt and tasted slightly greasy, so it got a bit queasy towards the end. Overall, I thought the tendon here didn’t quite pack a punch.
Tenjin is another new restaurant in Shaw Centre by the Les Amis Group. This new restaurant specialises in tempura donburi or tendon for short. In case the name “Les Amis” makes you imagine dollar signs flying out of your wallet, don’t worry. The tempura rice bowls at Tenjin are quite reasonably priced.

If it's something cold that you're after, the Green Tea Soba ($20) would be it. Icy cold and refreshing as heck, this was delicious.
Definitely would love to return, lunch is a cheaper alternative too!

招牌的柠檬牛排（Lemon Steak，$18.80)，说是牛排其实已经被刨成薄片，细嫩Q滑，油脂均匀，入口香气四溢，搭配煮熟的洋葱与咸香的酱汁，非常下饭。
