To my knowledge, this is the best shabu shabu place in Los Angeles. A little pricey but really high quality. The tables are great but the counter is fun too.

We recently embarked on a three-week west coast “foodie” vacation, spanning five states and six major cities. Along the way, we dined at everything from Michelin-starred establishments to small mom-and-pop restaurants. By the end of our trip, everyone in our group unanimously agreed that our experience at Tensho was one of the absolute highlights.

From the warm hospitality and the evident pride in food preparation to the impeccable service and outstanding flavors, everything about our visit was memorable. We left the restaurant on a true “food high,” feeling as though if the entire world could experience what we just had, it might inspire world peace.

Be sure to order the wagyu—it’s an absolute must and a true indulgence!

Everything was amazing! I definitely want to go back to this restaurant.

The best shabu shabu outside of Japan. Beautifully delicate, balanced, and delicious appetizers, the highest quality sourced vegetables, Japanese wagyu and the best angus prime, and delectable and u forgettable desserts. Did I mention they have Premium Malts?

One of the best restaurants my friends and I went to during our LA trip. Agumi, our server, was bright and attentive despite us coming in near closing time. We are so thankful for the wonderful experience and DELICIOUS food. The apps that were part of the hot-pot course meal were filled with so much flavor. Next time I come to LA, I’m definitely going to try their nigiris because the wagyu nigiri we ordered was mind-blowing!!

My wife and I wandered into this restaurant at 9pm, and were greeted with a friendly reception that persisted throughout the meal. We tried the A5 wagyu special, and it was truly special! The appetizers (duck and sea-bass) delighted, and the Shabu Shabu experience was so fun - the hosts even humored us with our beginner-level questions. Next time I will dine with family, because it is unique in the area in its quality of service and relaxed atmosphere! 5/5

I recently dined at Tensho with my husband, anticipating a delightful culinary experience. Unfortunately, our visit turned out to be quite alarming.We ordered the fresh crab set for my husband and the beef set for myself. While the presentation of the dishes was impressive, the quality of the seafood was concerning. Within three hours of our dinner, my husband experienced severe diarrhea, which persisted throughout the night. We strongly suspect the raw oyster from the seafood set was the culprit, as I did not consume any raw items and remained unaffected.This incident has left us deeply disheartened and wary of dining at Tensho again. Food safety should be a paramount concern for any restaurant, especially one that specializes in fine dining. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that such issues are addressed to prevent future occurrences.
