About this place
If you want to try a range of tempura, the first choice is between a rice bowl and an assortment. The regular tendon comes with shrimp, squid, chicken and vegetables, making it a good option if you want several kinds of tempura in one bowl. The listed price is ¥1,100. Also on the menu for ¥1,100, the one-piece anago tempura bowl is described as a hearty serving with a whole eel fried as it is. The regular tendon offers a broader mix of toppings, while the anago bowl puts the eel centre stage; each makes for a distinct choice.
For a meal to enjoy one piece at a time, there is also the premium tempura assortment. It combines shrimp and squid with items such as scallops and anago, and is listed at ¥1,980. One reviewer described ordering a range of seafood and vegetable tempura and enjoying the texture of the batter with the dipping sauce. Another visitor noted that the batter on the tempura and fried dishes was crisp, and enjoyed the side dishes too. Rather than keeping the meal to a rice bowl, you could also pair an assortment with a few smaller dishes.
Reviews also mention a choice between tempura and cutlets made with the same ingredients, as well as oden. One visitor reported having ice cream and fruit after the meal, a detail worth noting if you would like something sweet after a meal centred on fried food. The tempura is the starting point, with side dishes, other fried options and dessert offering ways to shape the meal around your appetite.
Tempura MOMO in Hanazonominami, Nishinari-ku, Osaka, offers dine-in service as well as takeaway and collection at the shopfront. One diner noted that service can take a little longer because a single person handles the cooking, so it may suit a meal when you have time to spare. Choose between a tendon with varied toppings and an assortment that includes seafood, depending on what and how much you feel like eating.
