If you’re new to the joint, you might immediately fall in love with their All-Star Tendon, made of black tiger prawns, squid, salmon, kani sticks, green beans, and enoki mushrooms cooked in their classic tempura batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. For cheese lovers (and we know you’re a lot), you can opt for the Isobe Cheese, or gooey cheddar wrapped in roasted seaweed.
