Lovely dinner on a Friday night. Small, intimate venue. The chef and staff all spoke English which was very helpful. Food and atmosphere was wonderful. Staff were very warm and friendly.

We visited this tempura restaurant on a quiet Monday evening and had the counter to ourselves for most of the meal! A really fun experience, with each tempura item being cooked fresh right in front of us and placed on our plates by the chef himself, with a description of what was being served each time.
Would recommend one of the set menus, each of which feature a great variety of items, we particularly enjoyed the shrimp and blowfish but everything we sampled was oishi.
The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. It is a small place though so at busy times be prepared to wait.

Cosy little place with 8 counter seats, freshly fried on the spot tempura by a friendly chef

Do yourself a favour and please go and check this restaurant out. The older gentleman chef did a wonderful job and you can tell that he’s perfected his craft. A beautiful family business with wonderful food! Best tempura I’ve had and very reasonably priced.

Ab absolute experience. A master at work and most delicious tempura I’ve ever had. Everything about this place is A+. Not only we’re the main dishes very tasty, but you can tell the chef puts his heart into all the other details as well, like the perfectly cooked rice and delicious miso soup.

Make sure you get a reservation. If the first seating is full, you can try and get into the second one (~7: 30).

Life changingly delicious tempura dinner at Ebihachi. The chef is charming and clearly a master, and his hostess was so responsive and sweet. Both were able to help us enjoy this meal even more with their English. Absolutely delicious!

So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. Delicious tempura served by a fantastic and friendly chef. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Top recommendations are the eel and the asparagus tempura. Do not overlook this gem!

Small cozy diner that serves fry-on-demand tempura.
Reserve in advance so that you won't be disappointed.

This restaurant is a hidden little gem! It’s quite small but the food quality is nothing but the best. I went with my friend and we both ordered the Yuki set menu. It’s Tempura at the next level! The chef is very friendly and can speak a bit of English. He introduced every dish to us when serving them. It’s the best tempura I have ever had

A small restaurant that serves great tempura, the chef is very friendly and speaks fluent English. We ordered different sets on the menu and they were all really good.recommended if you're visiting Takayama.

Celebrated my birthday here and loved every bit of it — cozy, super friendly staff and Chef and most importantly, great food! This is tempura done well with its crisp, light batter enveloping all the fresh seafood and vegetables served. We loved the side dishes that came with the set — rice, pickled vegetables and miso soup! 100% recommend for your visit to Takayama.
