Garrick: Just Another Self-Appointed Critic

Great sushi at a fair price
Our first 'visit' to Tengu Asian Bistro was actually in the form of a home delivery and were extremely pleased with our dinner. Not only do we feel it was a fair price, but the food was also fresh, had great flavor, looked impressive, and got to our house in record time.
We ordered fried dumplings, three different basic rolls and two specialty rolls. Our total came to around $80 which, again, we felt was a fair price especially when you consider the overall experience: taste, presentation, and packaging.
The sushi was so good that this was the first time in a long time that we ate everything that we ordered. There are many reviews raving about their specialty rolls, and we can definitely understand why; they were delicious!
The packaging was amazing is amazing as well. The sushi was so perfectly packed that no matter how bad a delivery person might be, the rolls would be safe. I thought they might end up being a mess once I started opening the containers, but you can see in the pictures that the rolls came out perfectly. Finally, the rolls were rolled tight, so they stayed together when you picked them up.
If you like good sushi, give Tengu a try. You won't be disappointed.
This was my first order from Tengu. The online order form is easy to use, no bells and whistles, pick up was easy, the dining area is lovely, and I got 15% for paying with cash. I haven't had sushi in several months and the volcano roll hit the spot! Will definitely return.
Though they have an advisory sign up stating that they have recently had to raise their prices, their prices are so very reasonable for what you get.
Their beautifully designed interior is gorgeous and sets the mood for the food. There is plenty of seating and it's very comfortable.
The waitstaff are very polite and fast, they gave an appropriate amount of time for us to decide on food and properly took our order down.
It felt like just a few minutes later, we had our food. I was just getting done with the starter salad and the main dishes arrived.
Though it was quick, the order was also correct, and very delicious!
We ordered the Shanghai noodles and the yellow curry.
Both were excellent.
Highly recommended.
The outside appearance leaves you wondering what it even is but inside is so pretty, quant and comfortable. We were seated immediately the place was empty and I have no idea why. The food was INCREDIBLE!! The mongolian beef is so tender and so perfectly seasoned. The best gyoza ive ever eaten. My husband had a fantastic roll and he absolutely LOVED IT. We will be back again and again. Thanks tengu!
So my first couple of times eating food from this place was good. I ordered online for my lunch break and I got the rainbow roll (pictured) and the next day an Alaska roll and California roll. The rainbow roll had big ole chunks of fish which was appreciated. Spicy Mayo was good.
The only problem I had, which is kind of big, is the pieces were way to big. So every time I ate a piece, my whole mouth was full and I was literally stuffing my face and had to open my mouth as much as I could in order to get it in. Make your jokes lol. Other than that, it was a good tasting roll.
The Alaska and California roll were a good normal size and tastes very good. The wasabi was not spicy at all in my opinion. I had to really load it on a piece in order to taste it. One thing I LOVE is that they use very little rice. That's a big deal for me. And the miso soup is very good. Good sushi place
Great sushi, service, and ambiance. The wonton soup was tasty and the rolls were fresh and beautifully made. Prices were quite reasonable. We will definitely be back!
Courteous and attentive staff, clean dining room, lovely faux cherry blossom tree, and tasty food!
So far only ordered a salad, it was the best crisp lettuce I had. The avocado was completely fresh too. Just forgot to have them cook the meat but that was my fault for not telling them. I completely recommend. Quick service too.
