Tempura Endo in Beverly Hills, to me, they say Kyoto style; I found it to be much more Beverly Hills style, not Kyoto. The restaurant itself has a very Japanese design with private rooms and a counter. However, the bar was empty and quiet, creating long stretches of awkward silence. This was probably the first red flag, on Valentine’s Day dinner. Dishes appeared from the back rather than being served directly, which broke the rhythm and felt strangely impersonal. Service from the waitresses was warm but casual, closer to diner hospitality than fine dining. The chef was present for maybe 30 minutes of a two and a half hour meal, an odd absence for a Valentine’s experience. Food was fried in batches, plated out of sight, and delivered by servers running around a corner. The only time the experience felt direct was during the brief stretch when the chef served tempura directly over the counter to us.
The second red flag was simply how the restaurant staff presents itself. Tons of Americanization, likely for the sake of the common customer base around Beverly Hills, for example, mozzarella appeared in both salad and tempura. Not terrible, but clearly not traditional. The standout dish was the corn, served early and genuinely excellent. After that, it was all very inconsistent. The shrimp and head were very good. Sashimi was solid. Uni itself tasted good. However, the ikura tasted off. Lobster was chewy. The scallop was mostly sweet, but the caviar tasted old and flavorless. The potato was well cooked, but the truffle sauce overwhelmed it with a sweaty note rather than anything earthy. Maitake mushrooms were wet and slightly musty instead of light and crisp. Matcha was extremely watery with almost no flavor. Desserts tasted store bought and freezer burned.

Overall, maybe 3. For the price — 2.

This is my family’s favorite restaurant. It offer the best Kyoto-style omakase tempura in LA.
It uses premium ingredients imported from Japan and a menu that changes seasonally

Service is very good and the cooking technique is superb.

The only tempura I do not enjoy is the squid which is flavorless and the fermented yellowish thing on top tastes very fishy and stinky.

Other than that, all tempera are very well made. The coating is thin and crispy and The ingredients are fresh. I admire the chef’s skill!!!

I also love that they used seasonal ingredients such as matsutake.

After I finished the meal, I feel full but do not feel overwhelmed by greasiness because the food were properly fried.

I wish they had more sake options.

To eat here was a culinary experience, esp if one loves tempura. Decor is quiet elegance with clean aesthetic. Service is stellar where your sake glass is never empty. The menu is carefully prepared by 2 chefs served one piece at a time. The amalgamation is flavors slowly wakens the palate from salad, corn, slowly graduating to sashimi, beef cooked on hot stone. All items are served with specific instructions ie no salt, white salt, green salt, or tempura sauce (w shredded daikon). Certainly worth a trip esp for special occasions ie my friends birthday!

Tempura were all excellent. My favorites are corn, snow crab leg, shrimp, scallop w/ caviar and curry anago. Ootoro in the sashimi was a bit chewy, but after telling the waitress, chef was nice enough to give me a torched one which was much better. It’s on the expensive side but both service and taste were superb. I would recommend it 😉

A legit taste of tempura to tie me over until my next visit back to Japan. Super courteous staff. Very intimate. Every dish was delicious (the corn and wagyu were my favorite). Worth the price and will definitely be back.

Other reviews mentioning lack of wifi and similar complaints seemed silly to me. They clearly don’t understand what this experience is supposed to be about.

Great omakase. Went for their first seating while they were still setting up and was cool to see. Service was five stars. My favorite was the corn actually . So unique and tasty. They did a nice cake for my husband for his birthday. Great meal, will be back.

We booked a reservation for Valentine’s Day and were seated promptly only to be informed that the only pre-fixed menu option for the evening was a $250pp Valentine’s Day menu. Nothing else was available, not even the a la carte menu. It would have been nice to have been notified of this change in the menu prior to confirming the booking. I asked what was included as part of the pre-fix and the server had difficulty explaining what was included.  While her handwritten note was written completely in Japanese, she had difficulty translating to English and no printed menu was made available.

All in all, the meal plus two bottles of $50 sake came to a whopping $780 including tax and tip for two people. While the food was delicious and quality of ingredients was high, the chocolate berry tart dessert that concluded the meal was worse than store bought and definitely an afterthought. The berries on top were still frozen and the crust was dry. The servers kept bumping into us when busing the tables and on more than one occasion had difficulty explaining what the dishes actually were. For the steep steep price, there are definitely better fine dining experiences out there. Would not recommend.
