Tempura Rice Bowls Get A Tokyo Sauce Finish In Seattle

Turn a Seattle meal break into a small neighborhood ritual at Tendon Kohaku. This restaurant specializes in Japanese tendon, serving expertly fried tempura over rice. It is an invitation to give one bowl the attention usually spent negotiating an entire afternoon of food stops. For a neighborhood outing, starting with a particular craving feels more manageable than assembling a committee to settle lunch.

Then there is the sauce. Its signature umami character comes from a secret recipe developed in Tokyo, a specific thread connecting the kitchen to Japan. The savory drizzle gives the specialty its own reason to stay on the agenda, beyond the appeal of something crisp.

Find the restaurant at 504 5th Ave S, suite 119. Service runs daily from 11 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM. The afternoon break leaves a clear choice between lunch and dinner, rather than an open ended grazing plan.
