Restaurant Review - Tenzan

It was about this time last year that I had a family feast after finishing up a year in Korea. This time around I miss it because of traveling but I'm still excited to blog about of of the tasty and private Japanese restaurants in New York. 

Tenzan is one of the very few restaurants that allow a special kind of seating for guests who are looking to enjoy their meal in private. This is extremely popular for a group gathering which can involve family and a group of friends who are simply looking to enjoy conversation in private. With individual rooms that can accompany up to 20 guests at once, Tenzan is the one restaurant that tries to maintain Japanese culture. Upon entering these rooms, you must remove your shoes and sit in a bamboo like seating. They provide cushion for guests and try to modernize the seating with actual leg rests so you are not actually sitting on the floor. 

In addition to a private setting, the food at Tenzan is absolutely amazing. They provide the traditional Japanese sashimi and a la carts, but they break away from having only traditional rolls. Tenzan combines the popular rolls with a new twist in taste. Many restaurants lack the creativity behind their foods so if you are looking to sample a new kind of roll, Tenzan is the place to go. 

Furthermore, they specialize in a handful of special dishes. Depending on the season, they provide other kinds of raw fish and dishes which are worth ordering. They cater to the special season of each raw dish and bring out the best in taste. Tenzan is definitely the place to go to break away from the limited menu of popular fishes. The one must order dish at Tenzan is the Kobe Beef Maki Maki which uses the top grade beef, battered and deep fried for your enjoyment. With a handful of restaurants around, it is definitely worth visiting. Be sure to call ahead of time for reservations if you are looking to enjoy your meal in a private room.
