Nice for hungry people

There are 2 tempura specialty restaurants in 立川 where you can enjoy a quiet meal, and 天ぷら岡本 is one of them. The other day, our family of 4 had dinner here. At the counter, they fry the tempura right in front of you, so you can enjoy it freshly cooked. Both the restaurant and staff looked clean and tidy, and the interior was quiet, so we could comfortably enjoy our meal and conversation. The tempura itself was delicious, and they also had a wide selection of alcoholic drinks, making it a thoroughly satisfying meal, drinks included. We'll come again.

It's been hard to find a tempura restaurant nearby lately, but here they use seasonal ingredients, fry them right in front of you, and explain each one, making for a delicious meal. The counter was full that day too. I was surprised that the people next to us knew about this place—２ Chinese🇨🇳 women had come together! All the fried dishes were delicious, and they even serve dessert, which is great! I think I'll come again.

This is the place for delicious tempura! About a 5-minute walk from the north exit of 立川 Station. It's on the 2nd floor in a quiet back alley near 伊勢丹 and 高島屋. Both the service and cooking are refined, and everything tastes delicious. The interior is clean and comfortable too! With seasonal vegetables and fish, you can really feel the care they put into everything, and with salt, tempura dipping sauce, or lemon, you can enjoy each ingredient with a flavor that suits it! A restaurant I'd like to visit regularly, and one I'd recommend. The chef has a wonderful personality too!! That's important in a counter-style business.
