" I can't praise Tensho enough. The meal is so meticulously put together that it feels like a performance as much as a meal. I've tried their A5 Wagyu and other dishes numerous times and the consistency in quality is impressive. The servers are professional and attentive without hovering, which allows for a relaxed dining experience. Though it is on the pricier side, I consider it a worthwhile splurge for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just love the uniqueness of Tensho's shabu shabu. Each visit brings a twist on staples and the seasonal dishes never fail to surprise me. While it is one of the pricier options around, you truly get what you pay for. The ambiance is cozy and perfect for conversations while enjoying delightful food. Would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very much looking forward to dining at Tensho based on all the good reviews, however my experience was a mixed bag. The food was alright, but I was disappointed by the crab which was not as fresh as I hoped, and the service felt a bit lacking. However, I really liked the vibe of the place and the dessert was outstanding! I might consider giving it another try, based on the other reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is incredible! The wagyu beef was out of this world, and the fresh seafood was delicious. The ambience was intimate and made for a romantic dinner date. I must say the price is steep, but I felt every penny was worth it. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring our glasses were always full. I recommend making reservations because the place fills up quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, Tensho is awesome! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth. We decided on the full shabu-shabu set, including the seafood options. Everything was fresh and beautifully prepared. The best part was definitely the desserts at the end, which were surprising and delightful. It's pricey, but given the quality and service, it feels worth every penny! We will be back very soon! " (*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*)
