About

Tenmasa, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur at Unit 3.3 (Annexe), Level 2, Tower 1, Platinum Park, 11 Persiaran KLCC, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, is a renowned Japanese restaurant specializing in authentic tempura. As the first in the city to focus exclusively on this culinary art, Tenmasa combines Edomae traditions with modern touches to create a dining experience that is both sophisticated and unforgettable.


The restaurant's dedication to freshness is evident in its carefully selected ingredients, with produce air-flown from Japan twice a week and supplemented by sustainably sourced local farm offerings. This commitment ensures the menu reflects the best of Japan's seasonal ingredients, delivering dishes that are always fresh and perfectly crafted.


A standout feature of Tenmasa is its 10-seater counter, offering diners an up-close view of the chef's meticulous techniques. For those seeking privacy, semi-private dining tables for up to eight guests provide a more secluded experience. Signature dishes include classic tempura options such as ebi (shrimp), anago (sea eel), and sweet potato, as well as innovative creations like wagyu beef with comte cheese, shiso leaf with uni (sea urchin), and shirako with caviar.


Although Tenmasa does not hold a Michelin star, it has earned recognition for its authenticity and commitment to the art of tempura. Its minimalist and serene ambiance makes it a perfect setting for personal celebrations or business gatherings. Guests can also work with the chef to design custom menus for special occasions, ensuring a truly personalized and memorable experience.
