Tenmonkan Wakana — Restaurant in Kagoshima

To be fair, the quality of food was average. There are three problems with this restaurant, hence, it is NOT recommended to go. 1. I read some other reviews of this restaurant on google that they would charge you a hidden ‘table fee’ so I kind of knew it was coming, even though they never mention this verbally or written anywhere on the menu. 2. Not sure if it was a honest mistake or they charged drinks / food that we never ordered or consumed on purpose. When we wanted to pay, the cashier only told us the total payment amount, without giving us the receipt. We wanted to check if the ‘table fee’ did exist so we asked for a receipt, only then we found out we were charged for extra drinks. Please CHECK YOUR BILL before you pay at this restaurant. 3. After we finished our main courses, the waitress asked if she could send dessert to our table. We waited for 10+ mins and nothing came. We then asked the waitress about the dessert and she said no dessert. We were quite confused.. if there’s no dessert then why asked us at the first place? Or she could have told us it was a mistake after she found out so we didn’t have to wait...

Dined at this renowned spot known for its traditional Kagoshima cuisine, and it's easy to see why it's a local favorite. A heads-up for anyone planning to visit: reservations are a must. I learned the hard way and ended up waiting for 1.5 hours, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

I went for the set menu, which featured the region's celebrated chicken sashimi - a delicacy you'd be hard-pressed to find as safely prepared anywhere else. Also had the pleasure of trying kibinago sashimi, a local small fish specialty, along with pork tonkotsu and pork Shabu shabu. Kagoshima's warmer climate lends itself to perfecting poultry and pork dishes, and this meal was a testament to that.

The chicken sashimi was a standout, surprisingly more reminiscent of fish in its taste and texture. It was an exceptional dining experience that justified every minute of the wait. A 5-star meal that truly showcased the best of Kagoshima's...

I just visited Kagoshima Chuo Station's shop before I tried Tenmonkan' shop. ( Chuo Station's one is good except Tenmonkan.)

When we have placed an order about 10 minutes, there're no beverages for us. Two of the Japanese local who were seated next to us and ordered later than us, and they had drinks and meals first. It's quite awkward. (We ordered the same oden. )

When the food started to be served, there were no plates on the table, and we rang the bell four times but there was no staff to help.

The food quality is bad which compare with Chuo Station, no matter sashimi or BBQ skewers. The chicken liver skewer is raw at middle. It's not worth if you...
