Tenno – tested at Deliveroo.de – After my last two restaurant reviews via Deliveroo, where I had already tried fresh soups, fish and meat dishes, and risotto (Urban Soup and Das Glockenbach), I was in the mood for Asian food this time. I clicked through the numerous restaurants on the Deliveroo website – by now quite routinely 😉 – and discovered the Japanese restaurant Tenno. Since I love Japanese food, I'd been wanting to try Tenno for a long time. So why not order directly from Deliveroo and enjoy a delicious meal from the comfort of my own couch? That's how I chose Tenno for my third restaurant review on Deliveroo.

Restaurant choice: The Japanese restaurant Tenno
Restaurant Tenno is located on Buttermelcherstraße and is known for its relatively expensive Japanese dishes. I've had the restaurant recommended to me several times by acquaintances and also by some of you, dear readers – sometimes because of the good food, sometimes because the prices seemed too high for what was served. So, I finally had the opportunity to try it myself and chose a few different dishes from the menu. My companion and I ultimately decided on the Thai Seafood Curry with salmon, white fish, shrimp, vegetables, and Thai jasmine rice (for €18). Yakiniku – that is Fried beef slices with Japanese sauce (€19.50) and finally, two different kinds of sushi rolls (6 Alaska rolls for €9 and 6 avocado maki rolls for €4.50). The yakiniku didn't come with rice, so we had to order two portions of Thai rice (€2 each) on the side.

The food review from the Tenno restaurant
Once the food arrived, I'd taken the pictures for you, and we'd plated it, it was time to try it. The sushi we ordered was rolled a bit "unevenly" and fell apart quite easily. I ended up using my fingers instead of chopsticks to eat the last two rolls and dipping them in the soy sauce. Nevertheless, the sushi tasted good, was definitely freshly made, and at €13.50, the price was reasonable. The Thai seafood curry was incredibly spicy, and unfortunately, this wasn't mentioned on the menu. I'm not a big fan of spicy food myself, so I immediately passed this information on to Deliveroo. They'll add the note to the menu and, as always, were grateful for the feedback. 🙂 That said, the portion of curry and rice was adequate and filling. Considering the fish and shrimp, the price of €18 was acceptable. The yakiniku was a bit of an outlier. The dish – as you can see in the photos – would have cost almost €20 without the rice we ordered separately (for €4), which was far too expensive for the "little bit of beef" (as my dining companion bluntly put it) without sauce or side dishes. There was nothing wrong with the quality of the meat or the other dishes. However, the price-to-quantity ratio wasn't ideal. While sitting down together, we recalculated the prices: we had effectively eaten three dishes for almost €60 in total, one consisting of 12 sushi rolls, one of just two lettuce leaves and a small to medium portion of beef, and the Thai curry. Even after deducting the delivery fee and the optional tip, and factoring in the "high-class" reputation of the Japanese restaurant – it was definitely overpriced.

I definitely don't want to discourage you from trying Tenno. The variety of dishes is fantastic, and there's a huge selection of Japanese food. The prices are the same as in the restaurant – as is the case with almost everything you can order through Deliveroo. You can choose from Japanese appetizers, salads, soups, main courses with fish and meat, side dishes, and of course, sushi in all its variations. As it happens, some good friends of mine ate there just the day after my review and came back absolutely thrilled. In my last post about ordering through Deliveroo, I received several comments saying that you'd prefer to order from the restaurant or – even better – cook yourselves. Of course… then you're in the wrong place. But if you don't feel like going out, I'd really appreciate it – also for my own feedback – if you ordered through Deliveroo, chose a restaurant, and told me what you thought. I'm sure you'll be impressed with the Deliveroo service itself.
The sushi (€13.50)
Deliveroo did a fantastic job again: punctual to the minute (for the third time ever, literally to the minute!), friendly, and reliable. No exaggeration: I have to admit that I'm enjoying using Deliveroo more and more, and – as some of my readers and friends may have noticed 😉 – I'm pretty much hooked on ordering and receiving Deliveroo deliveries. Despite my love for Munich and its restaurants, I also enjoy lazy evenings at home. Especially during the cold winter months, I find it a great alternative to going to a restaurant. So, once again, I urge even the most ardent delivery service advocates: please give it a try. You're not ordering some limp pizza from a box, but food from your favorite restaurants, delivered straight to your living room. And if you like Japanese food, Tenno is a great choice. Otherwise, there are countless other options (depending on your postal code).
If you're now tempted to order, why not give Deliveroo a try: With the voucher code "BIANCASTIPP" you'll receive a €10 discount on your first order at deliveroo.de.
