Q:
I'd love to visit this place when I'm in town! How does the Ayce work?
A:
Each person must pay for ayce. No sharing with people who haven't paid for ayce. Kids ayce are cheaper. Lunch ayce is cheaper than dinner ayce, but dinner has a few more items that you can choose from than lunch. Enjoy.

One of my go to sushi places. I work at a clinic nearby so sometimes I try to drop in for their ayce lunch special. Their sushi is delicious and I love that they offer half rolls and I always crave the oreo crunch dessert.
Their service is always kind and attentive!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Fe A.Las Vegas, NV8722637Feb 5, 2024
What a nice little gem! Very attentive service with great quality ingredients. I was very happy with the sashimi and the yakisoba.
Ambiance is cozy, very clean and quirky !Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 5, 2023
Tengoku has been on my list of places to try. I am glad I finally made it here! The customer service alone will get them 5/5 stars. And that is hard to do nowadays!
I do appreciate that they offer half rolls on all of their rolls. I appreciate that more than anything!!! I want to try new rolls but most places will not do a half roll.
The sushi was fresh and sashimi was delicious! I am so glad I finally made it here and will definitely be back!!
Thank you again for an outstanding experience!!Helpful 12Thanks 4Love this 11Oh no 0 - Feb 23, 2024Updated review2 check-ins
This is our old neighborhood go to! You know why? Because it's consistently pretty darn good, and it's a quiet spot that is comfortable! The menu selections are always good and the service is above average too!

It was okay- very needed remodel later-new owners and WOW! what a great turn! the Menu has been reorganized and streamlined as far as the rolls, but expanded appetizers and beer selections. Nice! the Staff is more personal. The unnecessary clutter has been removed and the overall ambiance has been improved. The Quality of the Food is extremely Improved!

I'm a huge sushi fanatic. This place left me a little bit scratching my head. The first time I came everything was amazing! Super fresh, I especially loved their poke. All the nigiri everything tasted amazing! I thought I had found my spot. The second time I came everything just kind of tasted subpar at best, some of the fish was way too fishy, slimy or the texture just felt off. I may give this place one last shot.

This place is located in a small shopping plaza . Not only that it is good but a lot of mangga cartoon drawing in the wall to keep you entertain to look around. sushi is excellent. I have been back a few times. I live small mom and pop sushi places as it is so authentic. Plan your time coming here it does get pack during dinner .

So let me start off by saying, the service was amazing. Our server was always a few steps away with anything we needed and was so nice to us. It's a small place with about 8 - 10 tables which makes it nice and cozy and it was pretty decently busy when we got there. We didn't have to wait long for our rolls at all. They were delicious. The coconut one was my favorite. We also tried the hot cheeto one but I didn't get a picture of it. That one was really good. They do half orders on rolls which is amazing cuz you get to try more rolls! The only downside to this place is that the rolls are soooo big that I should've slowed down my ordering because I could only eat half of what I normally eat at other sushi restaurants. But regardless they were very tasty.

From stretching the time limit to stretching my waistline, all-you-can-eat sushi is always a good time. That said, I'm on the borderline about recommending this one.
Tengoku is one of the smallest, if not the smallest of the sushi restaurants which I've seen. Fortunately, they seem to be on Yelp Waitlist, so you can pretty much reserve ahead of time and just drive over. More importantly, it was the opposite of busy when I showed up on what you might call Independence Eve for an early dinner. They offer a la carte as well as AYCE; if you know me, then you know that I tend to pick the latter when it's an option. AYCE prices are $25.99 for lunch, $30.99 for dinner, and $15.99 for kids under 45 inches (in height, I presume). They do charge a 3% fee on all "non-cash" transactions (i.e. cards), so I'm glad that I had cash on hand.
I always order a variety, starting with apps and such. The sashimi set (1 per person) arrived first, and although I did like the large rectangular hunks of salmon, the cajun albacore and pepper tuna came in odd baby carrot-esque shapes that didn't really hit the right visual or mouthfeel. The screaming o salad (also 1 pp) had three thinly sliced, peppered, and seared tuna slices which I would have preferred in the sashimi set despite their thinness. The texture was much better this time. Also, it did have the typical sauce for that salad.
The more-cooked apps were better overall. The baked green mussels were topped with a tasty blend of creamy sauce and what I think was an eel sauce. The dynamite had a great creamy sauce with tender baby scallops, onions, and mushrooms. The creamy spicy salmon kama (1 pp) was immaculately cooked and worked well with a mildly spicy sauce that ironically wasn't all that creamy. The deep fried soft shell crab (1 pp) was tender and crispy, although it was probably left on a counter somewhere and didn't get to my table until it was more lukewarm.
Other than apps, I usually try to stick to nigiri. The nigiri here are a mixed bag. I do wanna note that the portions are pretty much "normal" nigiri size, which means that fish and rice are both 1.5-2x what I expect to get from most AYCE places. This can take away from the variety which you'll be able to handle, and variety is usually a strong feature of this type of restaurant. They don't offer any daily special nigiri currently (just a sake 2-for-1 and maybe some apps), so I guess I didn't lose that much opportunity at all, but it's sad not to have the specials at all.
Anyway, I thought the amaebi / sweet shrimp (1 pp) were fresh although more textured like traditional shrimp. The mirugai / giant clam (1 pp) were crunchy enough but seemed a bit skimpy and less-than-fresh. The escolar and seared escolar were roughly the same and tasted good enough, and they thankfully did not come sauced. The salmon nigiri was better than the salmon sashimi but not the best salmon I've had at AYCE. The yuzu salmon and yellowtail were the stars thanks to the light citrus kick.
They don't say anything about half-rolls on the menu, but they do do them, so I ordered one. I went with the namesake Tengoku roll, which is crab salad and cucumber topped with seared beef, potato crunch, eel sauce, and scallion. The cucumber is crunchy, the potato bits are as crispy as you expect, and the scallion is fresh. However, the beef is slightly too tough to chew and makes it more of a chore to eat this than if I'd gone with something with fish on top. Given that I usually order rolls when I approach nauseating levels of fullness, that's especially not great for me.
Unfortunately, dessert is only 1 per person too, no matter which dessert you choose. They have a standard selection of ice creams and mochi ice creams, but I homed in on the extra fancy Oreo options. After I got the server to explain that the Deep Fried Oreo was more traditionally battered and fried, while the Oreo Crunch was the same thing but with corn flake exterior, I went with the latter. Sadly, the corn flakes ended up a bit tough-crunchy rather than remaining as crispy as they would be in cereal form. At least the Oreo, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup came out as expected.
I would be remiss not to mention a couple of menu concerns. They don't offer uni (sea urchin) at all. Maybe it'd be better than sourcing inferior uni, but I think I'd err on the side of gambling on bad uni than not having the option. Aside from maybe some apps, they also don't offer rice-less rolls or similar concepts, which I do see at newer AYCE places.
In the AYCE sushi realm, I'll say that Tengoku is about a 3.5 (which I should darn well be able to give as an actual rating if Yelp would just code it please and thank you). It's just fine if it's your neighborhood AYCE sushi joint or if you order only the hits rather than the misses, but I would have them in my 3rd tier of sushi at best. I certainly have had better, yet sadly I have also experienced worse in town.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 4Oh no 0
