" I found Tendon Kohaku to be merely okay. The aesthetic was lovely and the tempura crunched just right, but the wait was exhausting. I took a risk by going in without a reservation, and regrettably, my experience didn’t match the quality I was told to expect. The desserts seemed interesting, but I did not find them worth the hype. I’d give it another try but only with reservations and low expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Tendon Kohaku, I finally made it there and wow, it was worth it! The shrimp tempura had the perfect crunch and the accompanying sauces were delicious. I got to try the sweet potato crème brûlée, and it was truly a delightful end to the meal. The only downside was that we had to wait about an hour for a table, but it felt like a minor inconvenience for such an outstanding meal. Will definitely come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tendon Kohaku is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone who loves Japanese food. I was impressed by the authenticity of the flavors. Throughout my meal, it was evident that quality ingredients were used. However, service could be a bit more attentive, especially during busy hours. I would suggest reserving a table if you can. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Tendon Kohaku was an adventure! We braced ourselves for a long wait, but it paid off! The tempura is honestly the best I've had in the US. I got the beef tendon and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender. The atmosphere is delightful, more than I expected. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Tendon Kohaku after wandering around Bellevue. I was drawn in by the appealing decor. The service was quite friendly, but I wasn’t impressed with the food. I ordered a vegetarian dish, and it felt kind of trendy without the authentic flavors I had hoped for. The desserts, like the crème brûlée, were the highlight of the meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tendon Kohaku lived up to the hype for sure! The ambiance is lovely and feels genuine. The service was friendly but a bit slow since it was busy. The tendon set was amazing, but I found the curry a little too salty for my taste. Overall, I recommend going early to avoid the long wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a letdown. I had heard so many good things, but the wait was longer than they said, and the food was just okay. The tempura batter was thicker than I like, kind of soggy, and honestly, I expected a more authentic flavor. Service was friendly, but there was a lack of organization that made the wait feel even longer. " (*Curated Review*)
