Tendon Kohaku - Bellevue (WA)

4 /5 Linda Nguyen: Great place to go with friends. Soem dishes were amazing, slightly disappointed by the salmcrispy. (Mostly texture). Wish I had gotten the uni special. Got one piece of uni that was melt in your mouth. Shared plates with friends the beef dish was amazing and the tempura was super light and cripsy. Fabulous service. The sweet potato creme brulee was not too sweet but surprisingly addictive.

5 /5 Charlie Te: We were lucky that we caught the tail end of lunch and were able to get a table without making reservations. This place deficient lives up to the hype. We came here twice while up here in town. We ordered the Beef Steak Aimori Tendon set and Kurobuta Pork Katsu Curry Rice with the omurice added for lunch. The beef steak dish was beautifully presented and excellent. The katsu did was executed well and full of flavor. Its one of the best katsu dishes Ive had. We got the Choclat Mont Blac and the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee for desserts. Both were well worth it! On our second visit, we ordered the Black Truffle Grilled Steak Don (with uni on side) and a Carbonara Udon. Again, both of these dishes are well prepared. I just ordered the matcha swirl soft serve for dessert. I cant wait to come back here again.

3 /5 Christine Delgado: Came on a Saturday night at 5:30pm, got added to the waitlist, it was a 2 hour and 45 min wait. The food was really good. The mentaiko udon was delicious. The tempura bowl with skirt steak was pretty good too. Unfortunately there was a hair intertwined in the rice of the wagyu entree… my partner and I lost our appetites, but at least we were nearly done with our food when we found it. They made up for it with giving us a free dessert, the crème brûlée sweet potato was amazing. I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back to Tendon KoHAIRku but if I’m being honest. The food tasted really good! Minus the nasty hair. The staff was also really nice… just check your food if it has hair

5 /5 Vien Leung: The Japanese restaurant has a simple exterior design, with subtle Japanese-inspired elements. The environment is clean and well-maintained. The food is unique and full of character, and it tastes great. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, providing excellent service. However, the wait time for a table can be around 40 minutes.

5 /5 Andrew Chen: My final review of 2025 is reserved for the absolute best experience. Easily the closest thing to Japanese food in Japan in America. If theres one restaurant I would recommend in the Seattle area, this would undoubtedly be the one. The experience first started about a week before as one of the hosts was kind enough to accommodate a reservation for Tuesday night at opening. Upon entering, we were greeted with the traditional Japanese welcome of "Irasshaimase!". The service was top-notch. Our waiter welcomed us, answered any questions we had, and consistently checked in throughout the entire process. We ordered the Akiaji Tendon Set with Tencha Set, Black Truffle Grilled Steak Don, and Creamy Hokkaido Uni Udon. The portions here are very generous. For two people, this would be a lot of food, but despite "feeling full", we kept eating because the food was just that good. There were many other items on the menu that we wanted to order, but couldnt. More to return for during the next visit!
