" Truly a delightful discovery! Our evening at Tensho was exceptional. The attention to detail is reflected in both the food and ambiance. I have never tasted seafood this fresh! Staff were attentive and maintained a welcoming attitude throughout our meal. Prices are high, but for the quality offered, it is worth it! I’ll be coming back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tensho recently and was very impressed with the freshness of ingredients used. The attention to detail in presentation was seen throughout the multi-course meal. It wasn’t crowded, which made our dining experience even more pleasant. I enjoyed each dish but felt that some aspects could use a bit more flavor. Overall, I would consider returning for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall! This restaurant truly excels at authentic Japanese Shabu Shabu. The portions were generous, especially considering the high quality of ingredients used. The service was warm and welcoming; our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. I also loved the ambiance; it felt very homey. I will absolutely return and would recommend this place to any friends visiting from out of town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tensho based on the reviews, and while the Shabu Shabu was good, I found it didn’t stand out as much as I anticipated. The service was solid, yet I felt the staff was a bit too busy during peak times. With all said, the fusion of flavors was delightful and I was satisfied overall, though not astounded. Perhaps I’ll try a different selection next time to see how it differs. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tensho is an experience rather than just a meal. The multi-course offerings delight all the senses and provide true insight into Japanese cuisine. Each plate comes out timely, allowing you to savor every bite without feeling rushed. While my partner wasn’t keen on the price, I found it justifiable with the quality on offer. Make sure to try their dessert; it rivals the main courses and leaves you wanting more. I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Tensho was a rollercoaster! The atmosphere was welcoming, yet the service was inconsistent. I found myself waiting a while for our server to check on us despite the place being only half-full. That said, the quality of the food is outstanding. Every dish we ordered was fresh and well-prepared, particularly the Wagyu. I'd still recommend trying this place, just be prepared for potential wait times during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and great prices! My partner and I were blown away by the quality of the seafood; every item felt so fresh! The service was welcomed and friendly, making us feel at home from the start. If you're looking for outstanding shabu shabu and don't want to compromise on authenticity, Definitely try here. We will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
