Wasshoi!
Izakaya Tenkichi (2334 S. King St. Ste. C) is known for its crispy tempura, but the eatery recently launched a seasonal menu with dishes like spicy drunken chicken ($11.90) and inari sushi stuffed with negitoro ($7.90).
No dining experience is complete without the eatery’s wasshoi ikura bowl ($45 regular, $59 large). Both sizes feature an exciting tableside presentation, but the large is ideal for sharing among a group.
