Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the incredibly delicious, freshly fried tempura with a light, crispy batter. The charming presence of friendly cats and the option to enjoy the meal by the beach with a sunset view are frequently highlighted as major positives. While parking can be tricky and some tempura may contain unexpected ingredients, the overall experience is overwhelmingly praised as worth the visit.
"Very cute side-of-the-road tempura spot. Lots of options, a very light batter on the tempura and a bonus treat of lots of cats! We’re flexitarians so found it fine, but a warning: the green bean tempura includes ham (or ours did anyway) and we think the seaweed one may have had katsuoboshi. Still delicious though! And very very worth a visit."

"Absolutely delicious tempura, I tried the fish, calamari, both types of seaweed and potato. They were all delicious, impossible to pick a favourite.
The staff were very helpful, and friendly.
You can sit under the shaded area, with a fan - perfect for a hot day!"

"Best tempura ever and totally deserving of the high rating on Google review. It was so good that we went back to order more.
Faves were the squid and somewhat surprisingly for me since I love meat, the veggie tempura.
They only serve tempura. No noodles or anything else. And they seem to be making it to order because it came out HOT. I bought the sauce but in the end, liked it better with just the free seasonings which you add yourself. Plenty of salt on top of the crispy tempura = YUM.
There was a crowd but it’s really worth the wait. Mix of tourists and locals so it isn’t just some random tourist trap."
