Shitamachi Tendon Akimitsu - Adelaide

Cute spot for dining with friends! Came to Akimitsu about a month ago to try the highly acclaimed deep-fried tempura restaurant in Australia. I don't really know why, or how, a restaurant can be famous or a self-acclaimed tempura specialist when it's such a popular dish... But anyways, tempura was great, and so were the donburi bowls, so I ain't complaining

Restaurant is clean with a strong Japanese Ramen shop feel and polite friendly staff.<br/ <br/ Ordered the ebi tempura, oyako don and chashu don. The tempura was crispy, delicious and came with plenty of dashi to dip in. Really enjoyed our donburi bowls although i can never finish all the rice. <br/ <br/ Things came out quickly during a quiet dinner service without issues and would go back again.

: Aburi Salmon Don, Asakusa Tendon, Zaru Soba, Agadeshi tofu<br/ <br/ : Known for their tempura and they do it damn well! Come for deep fried goodness<br/ : honey mustard sauce on the aburi salmon isn 't my thing, agedashi tofu batter was a bit thick<br/ : this place has earned the 'King of Tempura Bowl ' gold award before

I stopped in for a bowl of noodles and ordered the salmon miso soba. They were happy to exchange the runny egg for a more cooked egg. When it arrived it was smaller than I expected for $15 however, it had good quality salmon in it and, hopefully, the soba noodles were made in house which would account for the serving size price issue. The staff were really friendly, the service was quick and attentive. I will go back to try their tempura.

The aburi salmon donburi is to die for! I really recommend it. After I had it, I went back again the same week to eat it again. They include a poached egg although the yolk is more softboiled rather than runny the two times I had it. I like the texture though<br/ <br/ The karaage donburi is also great, with big juicy pieces of chicken, mayo and a generous serve of pickled ginger and seaweed. I'm looking forward to try some of their other dishes.<br/ The vegetable tempura was nice with perfectly crisp batter. They don't have eggplant tempura included sadly, which is my favourite kind, but I'm interested in the other types of tempura they have.<br/ <br/ The fitout is nice looking. Tables are quite close together although there are some booths which are great for date night.<br/ <br/ Staff were friendly and very attentive without being pushy, as soon as I had decided what to order they were there. Also easy to flag down. I'll definitely return!
