Exceptional experience.....we struggled some with the language barrier but we and they slowed down and slowly began to understand the course of the menu. Sake start was wonderful as we dove into some of the best light battered tempura of the freshest quality. I had each serving and slowly tasted and dipped, no salt needed. The standouts were the puffer fish / asparagus/ lotus root / shrimp and rice soup / scallop. Clearly i enjoyed each course and the chef / server were pleasant and very helpful. The environment was clean and warm as we just took out the time in our day for a Aplus mid day meal. We will be back and will send friends. Arrigato!!!

I had the most delicious tempura I’ve ever tasted at Tempura Ono. Every piece is crafted to maximize the natural flavors of the ingredients, allowing you to truly savor their essence. My absolute favorite was the tempura mochi with fried small shrimp. Wrapped in fragrant shiso and crispy dried seaweed, it’s meant to be eaten by hand, creating a perfect combination of textures and flavors.
