   I ordered the Tuna, the portion was good but the plate tiny to contain the food, a bit uncomfortable to eat, also a bit too salty. Service was great and food was prepared quickly

   Tento is fantastic - so different from any other Japanese restaurant I’ve been to in Sydney. Really inventive food - always delicious and beautifully presented in quite a contemporary way. Excellent service and a good atmosphere all round.

   Excellent: ✨ - Prompt Seating: Arrived early, yet accommodated promptly despite the busy lunch rush. - Service: Staff was attentive and managed to set up a quieter spot for us right away. - Food Quality: Dishes arrived quickly and presentation was Instagram-worthy, exactly as advertised. - Standout Dish: Hotate tartan achazuke was delicious, particularly loved for its sweet notes. - Drinks: Peach oolong iced tea was nice and refreshing, hitting the right balance of sweetness. Could Be Better: 🤔 - Ambiance: Seated in a darker hallway section; missed the vibrant outdoor light and atmosphere. Next time I'd opt to sit outdoor. - Location: The seating area near the lift and next to a furniture store lacked the ideal dining environment. - Food Saltiness: Ramen with salmon and tonkotsu base was overly salty. - Portion vs. Price: Gobo chips were interesting but offered in a small quantity for the price. - Drink Variety: Strawberry hoji-cha was just okay, not particularly memorable. Overall, Tento impresses with its service and some dishes, but some aspects like ambiance and drink variety could enhance the dining experience further. Definitely will return one day, ideally with a smaller group.

   We did not know about this place as it has no street front and was until recently open for lunch only. The food was beautifully presented and generous. Although it advertises as izakaya it seems closer to a budget-friendly fine diner. The decor is simple but beautiful and the the service is excellent. We the sashimi large, homemade tofu and karaage. and followed with the sesame rolls for dessert. The drinks menu looked interesting but we had the happy hour drinks at the Beresford (6-8) so did not feel like more.

   A fantastic dinner. Lovely izakaya menu with a bit of an elevated presentation. Highlights were the smoked wings and homemade tofu but every dish was wonderful. Saké selection was also excellent.

   Lovely little place tucked away in Surry - food and cocktails were both fantastic, service was warm and friendly.
