Food was decent but overall not worth the price. The place looks dated and not overly spacious. The most egregious is the service, dishes were not explained and the bill was brought to us before we even finished eating the last course. Would not come back.

Best omakase tempura experience everything was amazing. 100/10 would go again.

Decor should keep it up today, atmosphere can be improved, Certain between kitchen is very dirty. Not like traditional Japanese in Japan,

A symphony of flavors and textures served with quintessential Japanese care. It's like being in Kyoto.
Tempura Endo is an entirely Japanese - and entirely Japanese - presentation of tempura, which Americans know as the kind of chewy mix of shrimp and vegetables that you might order at any Japanese restaurants. Tempura Endo isn't that. Instead, it's a celebration of a very precise and delicate art of cooking, with a whole variety of fish, shrimp, and vegetables served fresh and hot with a light, crispy exterior. Mixed in with the highest quality sashimi and other Japanese delicacies, Tempura Endo gives a dining experience that you simply can't find in many places in the US (I've been to Tempura Endo in Kyoto, as well - it's hard to say which one is better). It's not inexpensive, but it's worth saving up for a fantastic experience.

Best tempura I’ve had in my life. Note that this is a Michelin grade restaurant so the price is quite high but it’s worth every penny for the experience.
Food was very good but be very prepared for the most expensive meal of your life! We weren't offered cocktails so, we all drank green tea, which was fine. Bill for 5 people ended up being over $1,100. I will say each course was very tasty and they were wonderful about allergies.

The tempura here is amazing. This is the only tempura restaurant on the entire West coast. I believe that the only other tempura restaurant in America of similar quality is the only tempura restaurant in New York (Tempura Matsui). Other than these 2 places, tempura of this standard can only be found at the best tempura restaurants in Japan. The batter is perfect. The oil is pure and just the right temperature. The cooking time is just right. The result is the thinnest layer of crispiness, nothing at all like most Americans are used to. The underlying ingredients (whether vegetables, shrimp, scallops, uni) are top quality and perfectly fresh. True, the restaurant is expensive, but to see how perfect (and greaseless) tempura can be, Temura Endo is the place.

Amazing dempura selection. One and only. Service was awesome. Value is lacking given the price of $240. Little bit old interior and vibe now. But chef's food was great with excellent service throughout the course.
