It has become hot, hasn't it? One night, I decided to have a solo drink. I went to "Tempura Suzuki" located at 7-64-1 Nishikamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo for their "Choi-nomi set" (1200 yen). I chose a Sapporo Lager beer (red star) in a medium bottle. The Choi-nomi set includes a drink of your choice and one selected appetizer. It also comes with 4 pieces of tempura (shrimp, megochi fish, eggplant, broccoli). The total was 1200 yen with the beer. Tempura Suzuki seems to have opened in May 2017. I saw their Choi-nomi set sign while strolling around JR Kamata Station West Exit and decided to go in. You can sit at the counter and enjoy freshly fried tempura. I was able to pay with PayPay. There is free-flowing chicken soboro and pickled mustard greens available on the table. For the selected appetizer, I chose the seared mackerel. It goes well with beer. As I enjoyed my beer and appetizer, the tempura dishes were served one by one. There is tempura dipping sauce and salt on the table to enjoy with the tempura. I observed how to enjoy Tempura Suzuki's dishes as I ate. First, I had the shrimp tempura, a classic choice. It was delicious when freshly fried. Next, I tried the megochi fish and eggplant tempura. I love eggplant. Lastly, I had the broccoli tempura. It was a delightful experience having freshly fried tempura with my drink. It was a delicious meal. Thank you.

I found a tempura restaurant where I could dine alone. There was one seat available so I was seated right away, but the restaurant was almost full. It seemed like most of the seats were reserved. I ordered about 10 tempura dishes because I had been craving tempura for a while. For drinks, I had one beer and three refills of Hoppy. The tempura had a slightly thick batter and felt a bit greasy. I think I will visit again when I really feel like having tempura, probably in Kamata next time.

I opened a restaurant and after a while, I realized that it was doing quite well. However, I was a bit skeptical because they also served sashimi, which I didn't think was anything special. It's a small tempura izakaya with only a counter. I hadn't been there in years, but decided to visit again. The counter was quickly filled up with young people and couples. I could see that the affordable prices and delicious tempura were popular among the younger crowd. I ordered a set of 6 tempura items and then kept ordering the recommended fish one after another. They were indeed delicious. The quality of the fish at this price point is thanks to the fish wholesaler who has been supplying them since the opening. Lastly, I had a half-cooked egg tempura on top of rice, creating a tasty egg over rice dish. It was well-received, but I think adding more white fish to make it creamy would be even better for sake drinkers. It was great to see the restaurant evolving since my last visit, but I hope it continues to evolve further. However, I am concerned because the restaurant is run by two siblings, and I wonder if one of them will eventually leave. Both of them are doing a great job!

I didn't know there was a place like this in Kamata. It's located just off Bourbon Road (a bar district near the west exit) and very close to the station. The restaurant has a simple style with a counter that goes all the way around. Since it was my first time, I decided to go with the cheap course menu for 2,500 yen! Here's what we got: - Two small dishes (you can choose from a selection for the number of people): we had marinated mackerel, whelk, conger eel, and marinated squid. It felt like a good deal with a nice lineup of seafood dishes, even though the portions were on the smaller side. There was also mentaiko (spicy cod roe). - Tempura: 6 different kinds, mostly vegetables. It was light and crispy, easy to enjoy. - Tamago kake gohan (egg over rice) with miso soup with clams: just the right amount. However, I felt like the course overall was a bit lacking. It's perfect if you're mainly focusing on drinking and planning to hop to other places afterwards! The tamago kake gohan had a delicious sauce soaked into it and was very tasty. I'd like to come back next time to try out more varieties of tempura.

I've always wanted to visit this place and finally made it! It's fun to watch them fry tempura right in front of you. I tried a few different kinds, but the scallop tempura was amazing, it was my first time trying it and I was impressed! For dessert, I had tempura egg over rice, and it was dangerously delicious. And when I added minced meat on top, it was a whole new level of tasty! It was the best!

I visited this restaurant only during the day, and because it was tempura, I thought it might be greasy and heavy. However, it was surprisingly light and crispy, not too oily, and easy to eat. I couldn't help but keep eating and ended up eating too much, haha. It was delicious, the interior of the restaurant was clean, and the staff's service was good. I would definitely like to go again!

Located about a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Kamata Station, this tempura restaurant has counter seats only. I was lucky to get in without waiting as it was early on a weekday. They offer a great deal called "Choi Nomiset" which includes one appetizer, four pieces of tempura, and one drink for 1000 yen. The tempura is freshly fried in front of you and served in the order it's cooked. The tempura was delicious and the cost performance was great. I ended up ordering more tempura like asparagus, pumpkin, and shiitake mushrooms, which were all tasty. The drink menu is also extensive, offering a variety of options like chu-hai, highball, hoppy, sake, and shochu. The restaurant also has a good selection of side dishes, making it a great place for casual drinking as well. Overall, it was a nice tempura restaurant with a good atmosphere.

I asked for a recommendation for a lunch spot in Kamata and was introduced to "Tempura Suzuki," so I went there before I forgot. After exiting the west exit of JR Kamata Station and walking straight down the covered arcade street, I found "Tempura Suzuki." The classy exterior of the restaurant was a pleasant surprise, and I was happy to find out that they also serve lunch here. Before taking a seat, make sure to purchase a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine. This time, I splurged on the "Seasonal Set Meal (1,500 yen)." It seems like you can enjoy 8 types of freshly fried tempura according to the season. I was guided to a seat at the counter in the shape of a "C" and waited for a few minutes while checking the blackboard on the wall for today's ingredients. First, rice, miso soup, tempura dipping sauce, and a half-boiled egg tempura were served. Starting with a half-boiled egg tempura with sauce was unexpected. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating the rice. Tempura was brought to the counter tray one after another. First, shrimp. It's well-known as the king of tempura. Though a bit small, it was sweet and tasty. Since salt was provided on the counter, I recommend using salt over the dipping sauce. The two green items were mackerel and horse mackerel wrapped in plum and large leaf. Come to think of it, it might be my first time having mackerel tempura. It was thick and had a good bite. The horse mackerel wrapped in plum and large leaf had a juicy texture with the right amount of fat and the refreshing taste of plum. Shiitake mushroom and shrimp tempura had a thick shiitake mushroom with fluffy shrimp tempura, offering a gentle umami flavor. The new potato cream cheese was a bit unusual, but it was a perfect match. The smooth and rich taste was delightful. Surprisingly, it went well with the dipping sauce. Lastly, two vegetable tempura. Mini tomato and shishito pepper both paired well with oil, making them suitable for tempura. Just be careful with the mini tomato as it can be hot. For 1,500 yen, being able to enjoy freshly fried tempura like this is cost-effective. It's a nice way to indulge in a luxurious lunch experience.

This was my second visit. I had made a reservation so I was able to get in right away. This time, I used it for a quick drink and snack. I ordered a few of my favorite tempura items and one side dish. The motsu tempura with ponzu sauce is my favorite, and it goes really well with beer.

After finishing telework, I headed to the area near Kamata Station West Exit just before 8 pm. I went to a tempura restaurant called Tempura Suzuki. The name of the shop is said to be the name of the person who supplies seafood to this restaurant. The place is usually almost full, but this time there were no other customers. According to the tempura chef, it tends to be relatively quiet on summer weekdays. I started with a bottle of beer and toasted to myself for a job well done. The tempura I ordered included shrimp, kisu (Japanese whiting), scallop, squid, enoki mushrooms, asparagus, half-boiled egg, and cream cheese wrapped in meat. The tempura was well-drained and the ingredients were fresh. The pace of serving was quick as there were only a few other customers. When I bit into the last piece of meat-wrapped cream cheese, the hot cheese inside melted beautifully. The total bill came to 2450 yen. Inside the counter, there was one young tempura chef, and later another one joined. And no, I didn't get to see the female staff I was hoping for.

This is a restaurant where the quality of tempura is extremely high, yet the prices are very reasonable. The batter is crispy, and the ingredients are delicious! The tempura here is just as good as the ones that cost tens of thousands of yen in Ginza. You can enjoy a variety of tempura, from the classics to seasonal recommendations. I regret not trying more varieties because I went here as my second stop. There is a set menu where you can get 5 pieces of tempura and a drink for around 1000 yen, so it's a good deal if you're hungry. You can eat the tempura with either the dipping sauce or salt. Surprisingly, the bamboo shoots tempura is popular, and everyone around me was ordering it. They serve one piece cut in half, so if you want to try different kinds, you can order one piece and share. I wanted to try the tempura rice bowl as my last dish, but I was too full to order it. Instead, I ordered a rice set and topped it with the pickled vegetables on the table, which turned out to be delicious. The total bill for two people was around 7000 yen. I would like to visit this restaurant as my first stop next time.

I visited on a weekend during lunchtime, and surprisingly I was seated right away, maybe because it was raining. I ordered the Tempura Set Meal for 1200 yen, and I felt so happy to be able to enjoy such delicious tempura. The set included half-boiled egg, shrimp, squid, chicken, eggplant, conger eel, sillago fish, and sweet potato, which was more than enough. It also came with rice and miso soup with clams. I recommend putting the half-boiled egg on the rice! Thank you for the delicious meal.

From the moment I made a reservation over the phone, the service was very polite. The staff were courteous from the moment I entered until I left, making it a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant only has counter seats, and the tempura is fried right in front of you after you order. Everything was delicious, but personally, I especially liked the lotus root and motsu tempura with ponzu sauce. I was shocked that such delicious tempura could be enjoyed at this price!

I went to Kamata with my husband, who was eager to go there. He seemed to have a specific reason for wanting to come here, and I later found out that reason was Bourbon Street in Kamata. He walked briskly to a counter-only restaurant on that street. It was a place where you could order tempura dishes one by one, similar to an izakaya. I tried the tempura of shiso leaf, which my husband recommended. The soft shiso leaf had a delicious aroma and flavor from the tempura oil, and I was truly impressed by how tasty it was. I paired the nori tempura with a highball, and the seaweed flavor sealed in the tempura was delightful. The combination of whiskey and tempura was perfect, enhancing the flavors. The chicken tempura was also delicious, with a gentle chicken flavor that stood out when eaten with salt. The meat-wrapped cheese had a junky flavor, but the sophisticated taste was irresistible. This tempura restaurant was truly wonderful, offering a great dining experience for both locals and visitors in Kamata.

I climbed the ladder to Tempura Suzuki. I was tempted by the casual drinking set, but decided to order a la carte instead! The interior of the restaurant is stylish. I started with a set of 3 appetizers and a bottle of beer for a toast. There was pickled vegetables on the table, which seemed like it could be a meal in itself. However, I decided to also order tempura since I was there. The timing of the frying was perfect and the staff were very attentive even though they were busy! After the beer, I enjoyed comparing different types of sake and had a great time. Thank you for the meal!

The tempura, fried one by one by the chef, was delicious, and I couldn't help but order more. Even with the 2500 yen course, you get a drink, two small side dishes, and finish with egg tempura over rice. It was such a happy meal time! The counter fills up quickly after opening, so it's best to go early!

This was my first visit. I went on a weekday night and chose the ¥3000 course. For the appetizers, I could choose two items, and I picked the eggplant with grated daikon and ponzu sauce, and the chicken cartilage with plum dressing. The tempura was served fresh and hot, with different items coming out one by one. I also ordered avocado and broccoli tempura as extras, both of which were delicious. The egg tempura rice bowl at the end was also tasty. I would like to try their lunch menu next time!

After taking a morning bath at a nearby public bath, I stopped by for a drink. I bought a ridiculously cheap meal ticket and ordered a beer at the counter. The beer was paid for separately. However, enjoying freshly fried dishes one by one at the counter while drinking beer was fantastic. And all this without hurting my wallet too much. I was recommended a great restaurant. I will definitely come back.

I bought a meal ticket, was guided to my seat, and immediately served with a large portion of rice and miso soup with clam flavor. The tempura was placed in front of me in a freshly fried order. The tempura was generally crispy and had a light texture, very delicious. The egg tempura on the lotus root was also delicious, with a good sauce and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. On the table, there were pickled mustard greens with spicy cod roe and minced chicken, which were all-you-can-eat and served as a nice palate cleanser.

Around 8:00 pm, we went to the second restaurant of the night haha. It's a place where you can eat freshly fried food right in front of you, and it always seems crowded, but today it was a bit empty so the four of us lined up at the counter and were seated. We ordered a seasonal tempura set and some sake. The freshly fried tempura was delicious♪ There were also two types of toppings on the table that you could eat as you like. I think it was pickled vegetables and minced chicken. I'd like to go again.

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon after checking the reviews on Tabelog. Luckily, I was able to be seated without waiting. The restaurant seemed to only have counter seats and it looked promising. However, there were many people drinking since noon, so I'm not sure about the atmosphere. I ordered the tempura set meal for 1000 yen (including tax). Soon after, I was served rice, miso soup with clams, grated daikon radish, and tempura dipping sauce. The freshly fried tempura was served promptly. There were pickled vegetables and minced chicken in a jar on the counter, as well as black seven spice! I got so caught up in eating that I forgot to take photos. But it only cost 1000 yen! I didn't have high expectations, but the freshly fried tempura was delicious. Shrimp, smelt fish, squid, sweet potato, egg, and more kept coming out one after another. The oil also seemed decent. I usually feel heavy after eating tempura at Kame Seimen, but I didn't feel that way here. Have you tried tempura rolled in rice paper? It's about half the price, but I might like it better. For the price of a bowl of ramen, you can enjoy a freshly fried tempura set meal here. If you have any business in Kamata, give it a try without hesitation.
