Consistently tasty sushi. Great lunch specials. I especially like the spicy salmon and yellowtail scallion. Avoid peanut avocado roll, though - it's sugary and overly sweet!

Tenzan sister restaurant of Guzan in 86th and 3rd ave. The taste is very similar to Guzan. Chicken Yakiudon was cooked perfectly. The price of salmon teriyaki is cheaper than beef teriyaki. Weird.

Amazing lunch special. The nabe yaki udon is a dream. Nice, clean uncomplicated sushi. Also a good place to watch sports at the bar.

Tenzan has one of the better ambiences for a sushi spot. Affordable three roll lunch special. At night this place is quite vibrant.

Healthy roll with mango on top and seaweed on top is unique and very tasty. I usually get it together with sake roll, which is spicy crunchy salmon.

Sushi sooo good! Wait was a bit long but worth it!

Great place, great value! The sushi pieces are super fresh and plentiful! Sit upstairs by the window.

Try the Double Taste Roll - Chopped white tuna, tempura flakes, scallions wrapped with salmon, tuna and ikura

Sake & sushi @ the bar while watching sports on their 3 huge plasma screens is the way to go!

Some of the best sushi in the UWS. Get a Dragon Roll, it's amazing!

I usually get the unagi-don. Delicious!
Juyeon LeeJune 2, 2012
All dishes are solid. I love how this place doesn't pack the sushi rolls with rice. Definitely key.

Sweet potato tempura and peanut avocado rolls are excellent and I'm not even vegetarian.

The Sauvignon Blanc they have by the glass is perfect with all the delicious sushi!
Roger SchonfeldApril 20, 2013
Food is great. But make sure they've refilled the soap dispenser before washing your hands - that seems to be where they cut corners. Service mediocre.
Rob W.October 16, 2010
The rolls come in massive pieces, so filling, and all the employees have kinda funny and entertaining voices.
Lou DFebruary 15, 2011
Some amazing sushi/sashimi. Their unique peanut/avocado roll is a must-try
SandrarellaSeptember 6, 2014
Thick slices of salmon!
Mrs LDecember 8, 2010
So far, the roll that comes with the fried banana inside is my fave.
Jeremy Le VanApril 12, 2012
Pork gyoza and one roll are a great combo.

Shumai is good! Rolls just ok. Teriaki beef way too sweet. Prices are HIGH! Ambience is bad. Service ok.
carolyn bosFebruary 23, 2012
The tuna cucumber avocado roll is great.
C PAugust 3, 2015
Having read reviews I wanted to give it a try. Was disappointed. Service not focused and food mediocre. I'd give less than 7.8 rating as shown on 4square. Sorry can't recommend

Renata is the best bartender here.
Billy KimJune 28, 2012
This place is terrible. They were not sure if they wanted to honor our living social deal so we had to wait 20 minutes with food in front of us before we could eat it. And he was impolite.
Eric TangJune 12, 2017
The rolls are pretty good

Sashimi regular and ask for a bowl of sushi rice on the side. Cheaper and more fish than Chirashi.
Chelsea BalkanMay 29, 2012
Crunchy spicy rolls are great!
Hugo LeungOctober 25, 2010
The chirashi is beautiful and tasty. Loving the layout.

The sea bass rolls are great
LizJanuary 9, 2010
don't get the pink house cocktail on the menu. it tastes like flowery air freshener. also, the cherry on the seaweed salad is an odd touch.

The spicy like roll is my favorite, so far.
