Whe I dined in the food was really great. When I ordered to take out the quality was a little bit compromised. But overall is a really great place with nice staff and very fare prices!

Great take out sushi but have never stayed there to eat. Their peanut avocado rolls are my favorite.

I would say this is a 3.5, but that's not an option. I got the lunch special: spicy tuna, spicy salmon, salmon rolls a a miso soup. I got takeout and it was made by the time stated. It was nice they placed a cardboard piece between the hot soup and sushi. Some of the sushi pieces were inconsistent, with not a lot of filling while others were appropriately full, and smashed. Miso soup was hot and did have a smooth flavor. The texture of the spicy tuna and salmon were a bit off kind of mushy, so curious as to the quality of the fish. The rice had a nice texture, it wasn't hard and not mushy.

This is a solid sushi place. The quality of the fish is nice and the size of the actual sushi trend on the bigger side. If you are looking for a casual and quick dinner near beacon theater this is a good option.

I can't say what it's like to eat in but I have always had super tasty rolls from Tenzan whenever I go there for take out. I recently went and ordered the rainbow roll and the green river roll. Both were yummy and were filled with tons of fish and flavor. They always give plenty of wasabi and ginger, soy sauce and chop sticks. This is my go to sushi place and I would go more often but sushi is a little expensive.

Had been craving sushi like crazy, and Tenzan was the answer to my prayers. The spicy salmon roll was perhaps the best I've ever had. It was silky and buttery and oh-so delicious. I couldn't get enough!! The beef yaki was also super yummy. Very flavorful and full of meat. The noodles were thick and chewy. The pork katsu was also so good. The breading on the outside was so crispy! I would say that the meat itself was a tad bit dry, but I feel like that could be a one-off thing. It was also such a generous portion -- I couldn't be too bothered. Overall a really solid spot for Japanese!

Ordered a few things to share and was happy overall with what we chose. Edamame - 5/5 Green Salad - 5/5 Yellowtail Sushi - 3/5 kind of a strange taste, maybe a little old? Dallas Roll - 3/5 strange texture of the tuna Mango Shrimp Roll - 4/5 Tempura Shrimp Roll - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Overall was happy, but it wasn't the best sushi I've had. Pricing seemed decent. Would come back but would try some different rolls.

If you're looking for fresh sushi, look no further than Tenzan. Sure, there are less expensive places but I like Tenzan. It's consistently good. Aside from the typical sushi offerings like spicy tuna, California roll, and salmon roll, Tenzan has some more unique options like the healthy roll and red lady. This time I ordered the healthy roll, peanut avocado roll, and spicy tuna roll. Healthy roll- $13.50- I found this roll to be on the expensive side but I love the flavors! It has mango on the outside, and apple, avocado and seaweed salad on the inside. Salty, sweet, creamy and crunchy. Peanut avocado roll- $6.25- instead of regular plain or salted peanuts, Tenzan uses honey roasted ones here. I liked this roll but it might not be your thing. Spicy tuna roll- $7.50- this roll just had spicy tuna in it, no cucumber or avocado. It wasn't very spicy but it was good nonetheless. Tenzan is consistently good and has been for many years.
