Tendon Akimitsu in Gateway Mall

Stepping into Tendon Akimitsu at the Upper Ground B of Gateway Mall 2 feels like a direct transport to the historic streets of Asakusa, Tokyo. This award-winning establishment brings a multi-generational legacy of tempura mastery to the heart of Araneta City, offering a refined yet cozy dining space for mall-goers. Its prime location makes it an ideal destination for those who appreciate the delicate art of traditional Japanese comfort food in a modern, accessible setting.

The hallmark of Tendon Akimitsu is their commitment to the "shokunin" spirit, where every piece of tempura is fried to golden, airy perfection. Unlike standard fried dishes, their secret lies in a proprietary batter that ensures a light, non-greasy crunch. Beyond their famous rice bowls, the menu offers a diverse range of Japanese favorites, including savory Udon bowls, fresh Sushi rolls, and refreshing Cold Somen, catering to every type of Japanese food craving.

A visit is incomplete without diving into their signature Mixed Tendon Set, a lavish bowl featuring prawn tempura, egg, and a medley of vegetables like shiitake and eggplant. For those seeking variety, the Mixed Fish Tendon Set offers a delicious combination of salmon, tuna, and white fish. Don't forget to pair your meal with their specialty Aburi Salmon Maki or the unique Smoked Tamago to experience the full breadth of Akimitsu’s culinary expertise.
