I am familiar with the area, but live out of town. I popped into a nearby bookshop and saw Tenya. I needed a healthier lunch after a week of travels, and I didn’t want fast food sitting in my stomach as I headed to the airport. I asked the staff at the bookshop if they’d ever tried Tenya. They recommended the rice bowls, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for! Tenya had a quiet, welcoming vibe, reflective of the staff. I ordered the Gingeryaki bowl with grilled chicken (tofu also available). The portion was larger than expected (what a gift in this economy!), but it was so delish that I ate the whole thing! I’m ready to continue my adventures.

the food was good i ordered the chashu bowl it had some sauce on it that had a bit of a bbq flavor and was a little gelatinous. also had the fried tofu which was in my opinion amazing the consistency was so great. it was nice and crispy outside with nice soft inside. the sauce was sort of peanut curry sauce honestly it was good. then before we left me and my friend split a sando it was quite delicious i even enjoyed the “slaw” that was in it. only thing i would say is if they used like a katsu pork cutlet insted of a chicken cutlet it would be again in my opinion a 10/10. overall though a very nice place to est with good food.

My daughter and I popped in Tenya yesterday (11/11/2025) for a quick lunch after our eye appointments, which were (W)right nextdoor
This cozy Japanese eatery is nestled in a quaint little shopping center just off N Decatur Rd. at the intersection of Clarimont Rd.
The parking lot is tight, but there always seem to be spots available when we patron the area.
Upon entry, we were immediately greeted by a sweet lady behind the counter, and she gave us a moment to order.
We ended up getting:
1️⃣ Tenya Karamiso w/ Udon and Pork Chasyu—I had a last minute change to my order (udon instead of ramen) and she was attentive, efficient, and friendly!
The portion size of the dish is well worth the price (I got 2 bowls out of it), but the flavors really add value! It was hot, hearty, and delicious…perfect for the cold and blustery day!
2️⃣ 12pc Tenya Chicken w/ Tenya Sauce—the chicken was hot and crispy and the Tenya sauce is SO good…like honey mustard’s slightly sweeter, zestier cousin
3️⃣ Tenya Fries w/ Furikate—fries were also hot and crispy and really good dipped in the Tenya sauce as well!
If you’re looking for a quiet, quick, and affordable spot for lunch while you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by!
We will definitely be back soon when it’s time to pick up our specs

I wanted to try something and I tried Tenya for the first time. Not bad at all. The area was small, but the atmosphere was friendly and comforting and so was the service too. The food is great too! I tried one of the bowls and they had a pretty healthy serving that was arranged well. I would definitely return to try their other dishes!

Excellent!! The ambience was very calm and relaxing, and the food was delicious. I had the chicken sando and the fried tofu appetizer and they were both tasty, good portions too. Nice selection of Japanese sodas and sweets. And most of all the service was excellent! She was efficient and very kind to everyone.

I really enjoyed my experience here as a black man. The owners were respectful and the food was made fresh to order (very good also). The parking was a little challenging but it is worth the effort. I tried a few different things here for the first time and it was very satisfying. I recommend a google search to learn what food here is being served and the owner educated me very well on the Japanese food culture.

In a shopping center that doesn’t look too nice on the outside. But the restaurant itself on the inside is really beautiful and clean. Driving past this would not prompt me to stop. But, if you want something different that is delicious please visit this Japanese restaurant. Customer service is amazing and the food is absolutely the best!!! Very big portions of food, so come hungry. I wish this place was closer to us.
We got a Sando curry sauce chicken with fries that also comes with a small soup ($12.00). As well as a gingeryaki rice bowl with the sauce on the side ($12.00). This meal also came with a small soup. The drinks are a bit pricey. $2.00 for a can of Coke and $4.00 for a Japanese glass soda.

Excellent lunch and service. Nice, unfussy atmosphere. I had the curry bowl and my wife had the 6 piece pork dumplings. Fine delicate spices and fresh vegetables. Parking can be challenging but worth the effort.
