The tempura is served fresh and the prawn is a good size with a nice crispy texture. The vegetables are also fried to perfection, with the pumpkin being particularly delicious. The batter has a slightly rounded shape and pairs well with the sweet sauce. ▼Impressions▼ (August 2022) San-Ten is a fast-food chain of affordable tempura rice bowls operated by the Sato Group, based in Kansai and expanding to Chubu and Kanto regions. The Daiei branch located along Prefectural Route 8 leading to Hankai Road is my first visit to this location. I opted for the simple 39 Tempura Rice Bowl, and it was a satisfying meal at this price point. I look forward to trying their set meals next time, as I usually stick to rice bowl dishes.

(Shishiodoshi) Kon! I was able to compose it well. For Saturday lunch, I took a leisurely drive on the Hankyu Nara Road. I have reviewed other branches a few times before, so the taste is guaranteed. It is located near the Morofuku intersection along the Osaka Ikoma Line. - Chicken Karaage and Chicken Tempura Donburi with Miso Soup: The texture of the chicken tempura is very springy and delicious. Don't underestimate it. The fried chicken is also well seasoned, and the rice just keeps disappearing. The vegetables include pumpkin, okra, and lotus root. The miso soup with grilled pork and seaweed from Santen-san also has a nice seaside aroma, and it's quite tasty. As part of the New Year campaign, I was able to add this miso soup for an additional 10 yen. Being part of the Washoku Sato Group, it offers great value for money and a consistently delicious taste. Thank you for the meal.

"San Ten" and "Washoku Sato" are chain restaurants that offer affordable and delicious tempura rice bowls. In addition to these, they also have other chain brands such as Shabu Shabu Sukiyaki Nabeichi, Hozoji Fufu Zenkai, Katsu Gyudon Nagajiro, Conveyor Belt Sushi Chojiro, Kyoto Sushi Miyako, Delivery Sushi Chujiro, Meshiya Miyamoto Munashi, Attaka, Tonkatsu Katsuya, Karaage Specialty Store Karayama, and Deli and Bento Kitchen Sato. At these restaurants, you can find tempura sauce on the counter to add extra flavor to your tempura rice bowl. The "39 (Thank You) Tempura Rice Bowl" from San Ten costs 390 yen and comes with shrimp, fish, 3 types of vegetables (pumpkin, lotus root, okra), and 6 pieces of seaweed on top of rice. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of tempura you get. The freshly fried tempura is delicious, and the overall taste is typical of a chain restaurant. Enjoyable meal.

It was delicious!

I had a delicious shrimp tempura rice bowl yesterday, so I decided to visit Santen today. Although this place may have its own unique qualities, it definitely can't beat the price! It's not a high-end restaurant, but the food is really tasty. High-end places may use better ingredients and oils, and their soba soup may be superior, but is it really necessary to charge such high prices just because it's soba? Maybe high-end restaurants should try to compete with more reasonable prices, like the popular places do. Santen is the best, you should definitely try it out!

Half-cooked egg tempura and shrimp tempura were delicious! Great value for money at this tempura rice bowl chain restaurant! The shrimp tempura was delicious and only 390 yen. "Santen" is known for their grated daikon radish and furikake, but today I tried their Upper Tempura Rice Bowl and Zaru Soba set. The rice bowl had shrimp tempura, half-cooked egg tempura, and vegetable tempura, very satisfying! The Zaru Soba had a convenience store feel to it. Next time, I'll try the warm udon. This restaurant is all about quick and affordable tempura. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

After 3 PM, I couldn't decide between gyudon or tendon for lunch, but I ended up choosing tendon because I had a discount coupon. I ordered the shrimp tendon for 390 yen and used a service coupon to get a grilled pork belly seaweed miso soup. The tendon had two shrimp and was delicious. The miso soup had plenty of seaweed and was tasty. I received another service coupon to use next time. I think next time I'll try getting a large size with the service coupon. They also offer takeout, so if you're interested, give it a try!

I visited a "San Ten" restaurant that I often see along major roads such as the outer ring road, Abiko-suji, Sakai-suji, and Chuo-dori. This time, I visited the Daito store located along the Tsurumi Ikoma Line. The restaurant has a parking lot, which is convenient, and both the exterior and interior are clean and new. There are two touch panel ticket machines, making it easy to order even for first-time visitors. I ordered the Ebi and Chicken Tendon for 490 yen and the Bara Nori Miso Soup for 100 yen. The tendon was served in about 5 minutes, and although the tempura batter was soft and the sauce was a bit salty like store-bought tsuyu, the dish contained 2 shrimp, 2 chicken pieces, and vegetables for 490 yen, which is a great deal. Overall, it felt like the tempura version of Yoshinoya, and this restaurant could easily expand its number of stores. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant because the service voucher I received last time expires at the end of May. You can choose one free item from chicken tempura, squid tempura, grilled pork with seaweed miso soup, or extra rice. It's worth 100 yen for free. It's a great deal, right? Instead of 490 yen, I only paid 390 yen with the voucher. I ordered the squid tempura, and it was delicious, freshly fried. Even though I used a service voucher, they gave me another voucher valid until the end of June when I left. Next time, I want to try the miso soup. If you're interested, please give it a try!!

At 3 pm, I had time to have lunch, so I visited Santen. I ordered Ebi-Ten and Tori-Ten Don. It was my first time trying them. The chicken and shrimp were freshly fried and delicious. The chicken was tender and tasty! It's a cheap and tasty restaurant. I think it's perfect for a meal for salarymen or families. If you're interested, you should give it a try!

Lunch options at convenience stores are expensive, so I decided to pass. Family restaurants take too long, so I passed on those as well. Curry can be pricey, so I passed on that too. Ramen is delicious but also a bit expensive, so I passed. In the end, I settled on either a pork bowl, beef bowl, tempura bowl, or Kyoto Ohsho. Among these options, the ¥390 pork bowl offers great value. It's a late lunch, so I can enjoy it leisurely. Give it a try!

I visited the restaurant again today for a late lunch. I decided to try a different menu item today, the 39 Tempura Rice Bowl. The ticket machine can be confusing for older people. The Tempura Rice Bowl with shrimp seems like a better deal. The crispy tempura adds a touch of luxury. The price including tax is amazing. If you're looking for a cheap meal, the convenience store bento for 390 yen is a better option. The portion of rice is not very large. The parking lot is spacious and easy to park in. The traffic light makes entering and exiting safe. Give it a try once!!

Today, I decided to have lunch at a nearby tempura rice bowl chain restaurant called "Santen" (^_^) - Shrimp Tempura Rice Bowl 390 yen - 2 shrimp tempura, white fish tempura, lotus root tempura, okra tempura, seaweed tempura The tempura is freshly fried and served crispy and hot, making it a great value for the price. Compared to the tempura rice bowl chain restaurant "Tenya" in Tokyo, I think "Santen" is definitely superior in terms of price and flavor. It's great to have such restaurants around. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for a late lunch. They offer a delicious tempura bowl starting from 390 yen including tax. Although the portion of rice may seem small, it is tasty. The shrimp tempura bowl is priced at 390 yen including tax, with two crispy fried shrimp that give a luxurious feeling. The menu is diverse, making it a great place for families to enjoy. The interior is clean and well-maintained. I have not used the restroom so I cannot comment on that. If you are interested in trying a casual tempura bowl, I recommend giving this place a try!

The restaurant is called "Santen" and it is located along the outer loop line. At first, I underestimated it, thinking that the price for a tempura rice bowl was too low to be any good. But when I finally tried it, I found it to be delicious. The tempura was freshly fried and the sauce soaked into the rice just right. The prices are very reasonable, with a regular shrimp tempura bowl costing only 390 yen. Since then, I have been using this restaurant frequently when dining alone. Tomorrow's dinner might just be from "Santen" again.

Hello April! At this shop, I always eat the exact same menu! Looking at old photos, I can't help but smile! Are you a tempura rice bowl person? Tempura set meal person? Katsudon person? Katsudon rice bowl person? I go with my mood! But here, I feel like the set meal is more cost-effective! The Upper Tempura Set Meal is 650 yen, with 3 shrimp tempura, smelt fish, okra, seaweed, and pumpkin! It comes with miso soup, rice, and unlimited furikake and pickles! It's pretty cheap, right? The taste is not bad either, perfect for lunch! It's a convenient tempura restaurant!

A certain off day in spring ~, dasu (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ In my town, Daiei City, the long-awaited "Santen" has finally arrived. On a certain day in February 2017, it opened~(^○^) Clap clap clap clap 8888888888888888~(^｡^) Actually, there is already a "Santen" in Daiei City, right? It's like there is one in the east and one in the west of the small Daiei City. Did they do market research? (*_*) Well, this new store is much closer to my house, so I will be using it more often from now on. I have already visited about 3 times (laughs). The operation has become smoother with each visit, and the handling of customers at tables and counters has become more flexible. Of course, the store has parking, but it is located at a corner of an intersection. Cars coming from Ikoma to Osaka can turn right at the signal in front of the store and enter the store parking lot from the side street. Now, let's go in. Clang (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ There are two touch panel ticket machines at the entrance. I touched "Ebi Tendon (shrimp tempura rice bowl) regular. Miso soup." and handed it to the staff, then waited for a while. The tempura rice bowl arrived in 7-8 minutes! (^○^) It's the usual "Santen" shrimp tempura rice bowl (laughs). The miso soup is the usual miso soup with scattered seaweed. Now, let's eat (^｡^)(￣〜￣)…(￣〜￣)…(￣〜￣)………Hmm! It's good, good enough. Delicious (^○^) The tempura rice bowl from Santen has shrimp tempura, white fish, lotus root, okra, and the seaweed tempura is square-shaped with batter on one side. Many places serve seaweed tempura that is already soggy with sauce or crumbles easily when touched with chopsticks, but this one was crispy, crunchy, fragrant, and quite tasty seaweed tempura. The shrimp tempura has 2 shrimp, white fish, lotus root, and okra, the usual "shrimp tempura rice bowl". I would like a bit more dipping sauce. The tempura quality is crispy, crunchy, and fluffy, quite delicious (^｡^) Please maintain this quality and cost performance forever (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ Takeout tempura is also available, so I can stop by on my way back from work for a drink's snack... that's also possible now. (^｡^) The newly opened "Santen Daiei Store" was delicious as always (^｡^) I will be coming here more often in the future. Thank you for the meal~(^-^)
