Tenzan 89 7.6
Upper East Side-Yorkville
Vibes: Family Friendly Favorites Quick Bites Champions Solo Dining Sanctuaries
Tenzan 89 is a high-volume neighborhood sushi shop where rolls, tempura bento boxes, and sashimi move quickly for dine-in and delivery. It’s used less as a destination omakase and more as a reliable, fish-forward workhorse when you want sushi without leaving the Upper East Side.
Must-Try Dishes: Godzilla Roll, Tempura bento box, Salmon belly sashimi à la carte
