Foodies Alert: Tennyuu Grand - Premium Japanese Restaurant


If you love Japanese food and have a soft spot for sashimi, Tenyuu Grand is definitely the place to go.  Their sashimi is the bomb! Very fresh.

The atmosphere outside is lovely.  They tried to mimic sakura (cherry blossom) trees and a Japanese garden.    Once inside on the 1st floor, the basic ambiance is just like any restaurant.  For private rooms, they are located on the 2nd floor which definitely gives more of an authentic Japanese feel.  Would have loved it they did this throughout the entire restaurant.   Each room was decorated differently with elaborate designs from Japanese wallpaper.

They also have the typical Japanese style dinning set-up available where you sit on tatami mats on the floor.

Their menu also has a diagram explaining all the different parts of tuna fish >> Meat of Maguro
On a side note, 1 piece of maguro here starts at 500THB (USD17)



Sashimi Set - Yummy but also very pricey! 


Sushi Rolls - There are lots of variety and again, very pricey.  The most expensive one is 1,200THB (USD40) for a roll.  Meanwhile the cheapest one is the eel roll below which is 390THB (USD13). 


If you don't want to pay the expensive prices of a la carte, they do have lunch sets.  Forgot to check whether it is also applicable during the weekends as I went during a weekday.

Here are just examples of what their lunch sets includes:

  • Steamed Egg (there are pieces of meat inside as well)



  •  Japanese Salad with Potato salad on the side


  • For mains, there were several choices.  Three of them are below: 
Snow Fish grilled with soy sauce
(it looks like chicken from the picture doesn't it)


I don't know the names of this sashimi dishes but it is sashimi topped over rice.
One is assorted, while the other is only salmon sashimi.



There wasn't a lot of selection for dessert.  However, they did have complimentary Japanese melons for everyone.  If you never had Japanese melons before, they are the best.  Very sweet. :)

I actually ordered mochi ice cream and this daifuku.  Only managed to get a pic of the daifuku.
Daifuku is a Japanese sweet where there is mochi or glutinous rice cake with a sweet filling.  The most popular is red bean paste.  At Tenyuu Grand, their daifuku has both red bean paste and a whole strawberry inside.
