Tenjou is located in the high rent district a few doors down from the Flat Iron Eataly. If one were to think of all of the Instagram-worthy Japanese/Asian foods in your feed, you can probably find them on this menu. Unfortunately, at least from what we sampled, none of them are worth returning for. I went with the curry ramen, and Mrs Enthusiast tried the miso ramen, and the best way to describe them both is mechanical. You can see from the pictures, asides from different proteins, the toppings were exactly the same - even in the same place, despite the very different ramen bowls. The curry broth lacked punch, the miso broth lacked umami. It was all just “meh”. We also tried the spicy tuna gyoza, as I have never seen this on a menu before. It was a complete mess - spicy tuna in a fried gyoza wrapper with two random pieces of raw kale, guacamole, fish eggs and Thai sweet chili sauce. Lots of colors for a photo, but the flavors did not work at all. Unless you are feeding the camera instead of yourself I would skip this place.
