I visited for the first time in a year since lunch on August 13, 2022. I had planned to go to the sushi restaurant on the same floor, but despite empty seats, I was not being seated after waiting with my name on the list, so I decided to switch to this restaurant. With the scorching heat continuing today, I had no intention of walking outside and headed to PARCO, where I could access the restaurant floor directly from the indoor parking lot. The clean and modern Japanese-style interior has tables in the front, a tempura counter in the back, and a semi-private raised seating area in the back right. You can enjoy set meals, bento boxes, tempura set meals, tempura rice bowls, eel rice bowls, eel on rice, tempura a la carte dishes, recommended daily specials, and 4-course meals ranging from 3,700 to 8,400 yen. Today's lunch order included the following: ■ Summer Easy Set Meal 2,200 Grilled eggplant and okra in broth Red fish and fried summer vegetables Tuna sashimi Small shrimp and edamame tempura Tomato and tofu salad Cold soup noodles Plum and dried young sardine rice, pickles Shiratama Zenyai ■ Special Tempura Set Meal 1,980 2 shrimp, 2 types of fish, 3 types of vegetables, assorted tempura The Summer Easy Set Meal had a variety of dishes and was enjoyable with a good amount of volume. The tempura was crispy, and the large tempura had quite a satisfying texture. The rice was cooked to perfection and delicious. Although it is on the higher end in terms of price for everyday dining, it can be used for business meals and offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes, which is great.

I was amazed to find authentic tempura at Tenhamma Chofu inside Parco. The tempura was crispy and delicious, truly living up to its reputation as a long-standing establishment! For under 2000 yen, you can enjoy such a delicious set meal, which is really a great deal. During the ladies' morning special, there were various small dishes to enjoy, and the dessert of shiratama zenzai was the perfect finish. I also tried the tempura and sashimi combo, and the chutoro and sea bream sashimi were fresh and delicious.

Japanese cuisine restaurant "Ami Chofu PARCO Store" in Chofu City, Tokyo. Located on the 7th floor of Chofu PARCO, this restaurant offers traditional Japanese dishes such as kaiseki, bento, and set meals featuring tempura and eel. I visited this place for the first time in about 6 years since October 10, 2016. Despite the turnover on the restaurant floor, this establishment has been a longstanding presence. Today, with the unstable weather due to the approach of Typhoon No. 8, I decided to visit PARCO, which allows direct access from the indoor parking lot to the restaurant floor. The clean and modern Japanese-style interior features tables in the front, a tempura counter in the back, and a semi-private raised tatami area further to the right. The menu includes set meals, bento boxes, tempura set meals, tempura rice bowls, eel rice bowls, tempura on its own, daily recommendations, and course meals ranging from 3,700 to 8,400 yen. For today's lunch, I ordered the following: Colorful Bento (1,780 yen) and Anago Tempura Rice Bowl (1,700 yen). The Anago Tempura Rice Bowl came with two large pieces of eel and four types of vegetables, making for a generously portioned dish. The tempura was crispy and delicious. The Colorful Bento included sashimi, tempura, grilled dish, simmered dish, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), and a sweet dessert. The sashimi was tuna, the simmered dish was kinpira gobou (burdock root), and the grilled dish was Spanish mackerel. The tempura consisted of shrimp and eggplant, among other vegetables. The dessert was a cold shiratama zenzai (sweet red bean soup with rice cakes). Both dishes were quite delicious and offered ample portions. The rice was cooked to perfection. While this restaurant may be on the pricier side for everyday dining, it is suitable for business meals and offers a wide variety of Japanese cuisine. The service has improved since my last visit, with better handling of delays in food preparation and overall good customer service. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

In late November 2021, I visited "Amahama" on the 7th floor of Chofu Parco for the first time! It was a little after 2 pm on a Saturday, and all the shops were crowded. I had to wait for about 30 minutes after writing my name on the board at the entrance before I could enter! I chose the ★ Seasonal Ladies' Meal Set for 1480 yen (tax included) and a medium draft beer for 700 yen (tax included) from the menu. I ordered a beer first and made a toast (*´︶`*)ﾉ The meal set included vegetable tempura (crispy and delicious), salad, simmered dish, 3 seasonal side dishes, rice, miso soup, pickles, and dessert (it's nice to be able to enjoy a variety of dishes in small portions). I was hungry, so I enjoyed every dish (*´艸`). It's a restaurant where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine in a calm atmosphere. Thank you for the delicious meal (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

I arrived at the restaurant a little after 1 pm and was able to enter without waiting, although it seemed to be quite busy. I ordered the special tempura set meal, which came with 2 shrimp tempura, fish, and vegetable tempura. Additionally, they also served freshly fried mixed vegetable tempura that was not shown in the photo, adding to the satisfying volume of the meal. The mixed vegetable tempura was generously filled with ingredients such as shrimp. The tempura could be enjoyed with salt or matcha salt, and it was crispy enough to eat even the shrimp tails. (I usually don't eat the tails, but they were delicious this time.) I sat at a table this time, but the counter seats also looked nice.

I went to the restaurant in the dining terrace on the 7th floor of the Parco store in Chofu after exiting the central ticket gate at Keio Line Chofu Station. I had the mixed tempura rice bowl. It was a generous portion of fresh shrimp, squid, scallops, vegetables, and other ingredients deep-fried and served with a special sauce. It's a must-try for tempura rice bowl lovers. In addition to the mixed tempura rice bowl, they also offer tempura rice bowl, large shrimp tempura rice bowl, conger eel tempura rice bowl, tempura set meal, and mixed tempura set meal. When paying, I received a 5% discount coupon for my next visit (it may have been a limited-time offer). A great restaurant for tempura lovers.

Today, I decided to have lunch in Chofu. I had some errands at Parco and decided to have lunch at Tenhamasan on the 7th floor. It's a tempura restaurant with a calm atmosphere and mostly older customers. The staff also had a similar vibe. I visited around noon and it was quite busy. I ordered the Oyakodon set (tempura bowl, Inaniwa udon hot). The food arrived in about 5-6 minutes. There were various lunch menu options, but I wanted to have both a bowl and noodles together, so I chose the Oyakodon set. The Inaniwa udon was thin and the soup was a bit light, so I added some shichimi to adjust the flavor. The toppings were kamaboko, green onions, and seaweed, simple but good. The tempura bowl had shrimp, eggplant, bell pepper, sweet potato, and kisu fish, although the pieces were a bit small. Overall, the frying was well done. Since it's on the 7th floor of Parco, the prices were a bit higher.

I went to Chofu to visit a DoCoMo shop, and decided to have lunch at the restaurant floor of Parco while I was there. The restaurant floor of Parco will be closing on the 18th of this month for renovations, and will reopen in November. So, I wanted to visit before it closes. I went to "Tenhama" yesterday, which I hadn't visited in about 20 years. I chose the tempura set over the tempura bowl, as the set had 2 shrimp instead of 1. The tempura set came with shrimp, mixed tempura, sweet potato, bell pepper, eggplant, and fish. The fish seemed to be tuna. The tempura was delicious, but the sweet potato tempura didn't pair well with rice. The rice in the tempura set was moist and sticky. Overall, I left feeling satisfied.

The day after Ugly Day, I came here and ordered eel rice bowl. It was made with eel from Mikawa. I had made a reservation, so the bowl arrived in about 10 minutes. The eel had a nice balance of firmness and fluffiness, with a light sauce and sweet rice. It was very delicious.

The food is delicious, as expected given the price, but there are not many other good points to mention. The restaurant is crowded and hard to get into, and once inside, many tables are filled with people chatting or on their phones long after finishing their meals. Being located in Parco, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the food reflects that. However, I feel like there could be more effort from the staff to improve the overall dining experience in the restaurant's floor area.

I prefer izakayas over adult-oriented restaurants, but I went along with my senpai's preference to avoid crowds due to fear of the 6th wave of COVID-19. We had sashimi made from freshly caught horse mackerel swimming in a tank, as well as shirako, ankimo, and the standout, deliciously tender tuna red meat. We washed it all down with beer and lemon sour, and finished with an eel rice bowl... it was a sophisticated drinking experience until the end. It's not a place I would have chosen myself, but maybe it's good to try something different once in a while. Thank you for the meal. I'm sorry there are no photos, and the price is unknown.

It was average but a bit expensive.

I visited for work and ordered some appetizers a la carte, and had a beer. The small, elegant tempura was delicious. The mini tendon at the end was also delicious. I would like to come back next time with my wife.

The children ordered the kids' meal, the adults ordered the healthy meal, and the seasonal meal. The presentation was beautiful with a variety of dishes that harmonized well together. It was great that the dishes were low in salt. The staff were all very friendly and provided excellent service. I would like to try the daily lunch set or daily course meal next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!!

I arrived at the restaurant well past lunch time and decided to order the tempura set meal, although I was considering the tempura bowl. Hmm, I felt like the tempura dipping sauce was a bit weak. I mainly used the matcha salt instead. The texture was not crispy, but not soggy either, it was more on the crunchy side. I felt like the portion was a bit small, but I guess that's how it is. Overall, it was just an average tempura set meal.

Japanese Cuisine Tenhami Chofu PARCO Store @ Chofu Station, Tokyo Recommended Rating: ★★★★☆ (Would be ★5 if the service improves) Located on the 7th floor of PARCO at Chofu Station on the Keio Line, this restaurant offers Japanese cuisine, tempura, and eel dishes. The modern and clean interior has tables in the front, a tempura counter in the back, and a semi-private raised tatami area in the far right. They serve set meals, bento boxes, tempura set meals, tempura rice bowls, eel rice bowls, eel on rice, tempura a la carte, daily recommended dishes, and 4-course meal options ranging from 3,700 to 8,400 yen. Tonight's order included: - Autumn Easy Set Meal for 1,780 yen - Grilled Pacific Saury Set Meal for 1,800 yen The Autumn Easy Set Meal consisted of 3 side dishes, tuna sashimi, mushroom and autumn vegetable tempura, simmered turnip, salmon and salmon roe rice, and dessert. It was quite delicious and offered a satisfying portion. The Grilled Pacific Saury Set Meal included grilled Pacific saury, tuna sashimi, side dish, rice, miso soup, and dessert. Although the service was slow, the Pacific saury was flavorful and well-cooked with good fat content, making it a tasty choice. The rice was also of high quality. While the prices are on the higher side for casual dining, this restaurant is suitable for business meetings and offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes. However, improvements are needed in terms of service, especially in addressing delays in food preparation.

I felt like having tempura for lunch, so I went to "Tenhama" in Chofu Parco nearby. Even during lunchtime, if you sit at the counter, it's usually not crowded, so I was able to get in quickly by myself. There are various types of tempura bowls to choose from, but I ended up ordering the tempura set meal for 980 yen. The tempura is fried in front of the counter, but they don't serve each piece individually, instead, all the dishes are brought on a tray. Well, it's lunchtime, and the set meal is reasonably priced, so I guess it's not reasonable to expect that. The tempura set meal includes 2 shrimp tempura, kisu fish, green pepper, sweet potato, eggplant, carrot tempura, along with rice, miso soup, salad, pickles, and a drink after the meal, which is quite a satisfying meal. The tempura is freshly fried, so it's quite warm. The eggplant and carrot seemed a bit oily, but the sweet potato was very fluffy and sweet, which was delicious. The salad had whitebait on top, which added a nice touch. You can have unlimited rice refills, and when I tried to call a floor staff for a refill, the chef at the counter called out to me, asking if I wanted more rice. It left a good impression. The drink after the meal is either iced or hot coffee by default, but for those who don't like it, they can choose oolong tea or a sweet drink.

Keio Line's Chofu Station. There is a tempura restaurant called "Tempura Hamaya" on the 6th floor of the food court at the north exit of the station's shopping center "PARCO". My husband and I sometimes visit for lunch. We often go shopping in Fuchu or Chofu, but when we go to Chofu, we always come here. The food court at "PARCO" has been renovated, but this restaurant has been in the same location since before, with a traditional tempura restaurant image. Now it has a modern Japanese restaurant look. Both the taste and the restaurant's atmosphere are good, with a sense of cleanliness. The lunch menu is varied, from tempura and sashimi, tempura and soba set, to tempura bowl or negitoro bowl with soba set, and even a luxurious set meal. The tempura is carefully fried by the chef, crispy and skillfully made. The tempura is delicious, with a generous portion. Especially the tempura. The shrimp and vegetables are crispy and delicious. The kakiage is also an elegant dish. The frying technique is excellent, resulting in a crispy texture. The ingredients are plentiful and tasty. The prices are very reasonable, with many options under 1000 yen, providing great value for money. I have not visited for dinner, so I do not know the details of the evening menu. When I visit here, it's a day when I can skip some housework and have a little afternoon party with my husband. We enjoy some sashimi, tempura, soba, and beer while having a small daytime banquet without our son. These moments with my husband are precious. Afternoon alcohol always hits me hard, even if I don't drink much. I end up getting completely drunk... I should take a nap when I get home. We always enjoy our meals here. We will visit again soon.
