Tenya Tempura Tendon - Muntinlupa

Maybe it's what I ordered, but my expectations of the place was somehow not meant. The Spicy Salmon Salad could have had more greens because the breaded Salmon was overwhelmingly heavy. And to make it worse, I also had the Spicy Salmon Sandwich, it's like having bread on bread. Good thing they had free tea, I had 3 servings which somehow lessened the guilt of having too much carbs. And I read on the wall that they use Canola Oil. I wish they didn't.

Actually tried this twice, first time was in sm south mall, probably last year and just tried last night in their new branch in festival mall.  ordered the one with prawn tempura with cold noodle.  Maybe it could have been better if the head of the prawn was fried more to make it crispier and after eating 3 prawn tempura, shrimps in tempura batter as well and two string beans, then there was this vegetable tempura and by that time it was getting too oily already so didn't finish it.  It tasted ok not that much different from other tempura I have tired in other resto, not much better nor worse.  Just gets oily after some.

Tenya opened last week and they are continuing the celebration by offering a Buy One Get One Promo on their Tendons (mechanics are on their social media accounts) until May 12, 2017. This offer is exclusive to their Festival Mall branch. We decided to avail of this promo and it is definitely a promo worth catching! This branch is secluded and hard to find if you are not familar with the mall. With the recent expansion, even the locals are having difficulties locating this branch. If you are familiar with the Shopwise wing, you can exit from the X-Site entry way (along Civic Drive) and look for the new cluster of restaurants on your right. There should be a huge Tenya tarp signage. We were greeted warmly and when we inquired about the promo, they quickly acknowledged. We ordered the All Star Tendon and the Three pieces Ebi Tempura Tendon. It came with a small bowl of miso soup. Cold service tea was also served, it was refreshing and perfect for the hot weather outside. We all enjoyed our bowls. The ebi though was rather soggy. But everything else was cooked perfectly. The squid was so soft to the bite. The french beans was crunchy and the salmon paired well with the dizzled tentsuyu. The 200g rice may be too little for me. Must have the heavy fare on my next visit. Four tendon bowls for the price of two! Sulit. Overall, service was fast, friendly and very accomodating. Interiors had clean, simple lines that reflected the good food they serve. Recommended.

Maybe that's what I ordered, but somehow my expectations of the place were not meant. The tangy salmon salad could have been more green because the breaded salmon was overwhelmingly heavy. And to make matters worse, I also had the Spicy Salmon Sandwich, it's like bread on bread. Good thing they had free tea, I had 3 servings which kind of reduced the guilt of having too much carbs. And I read on the wall that they use rapeseed oil. I wish they hadn't.
