Our take: Ippoh Tempura Bar offers a high-end tempura experience, with many diners praising the fresh ingredients and the 'clean fried taste.' The service is consistently highlighted as excellent, with chefs and staff explaining each dish.
We note a significant difference in experience depending on seating: counter seats provide a piece-by-piece serving of tempura directly from the fryer, while regular tables receive dishes in batches.
This distinction is crucial for those seeking the traditional omakase tempura experience.
While some find the set menus, such as the $125 lunch set or the $250++ per pax dinner, to be good value for the quality, others feel the price point is steep for the overall experience, especially if seated away from the counter.
The handmade soba is also singled out as a standout dish.
We'd recommend this for a special occasion, specifically requesting counter seating to fully appreciate the chef's craft and the freshness of each tempura piece.

What customers say
Ippoh Tempura Bar generally receives high praise for its exceptional tempura, particularly the fresh ingredients and clean fried taste, with many highlighting the immersive counter seating experience where tempura is served piece by piece.
While service staff are consistently commended for their detailed explanations, some diners find the overall value for money lacking, especially for set lunches, and note that the open-concept ambience can be affected by noise from neighboring establishments.
The handmade soba also stands out as a memorable dish for some.

Have never had better experience of tempura’s . Had a private dinning room and chef explained everything so well. Food was great, yummy and amazing.
Not a big fan of Tempura so will unlikely return again. Kudos to the incredible team of service staff who explained every dish served clearly. The dish that I liked most was actually the handmade soba…

The tempura was decent, but not memorable enough to warrant a return visit. For $125 per set lunch, I expected much more. There are definitely better options out there for tempura at a far more reason…
Excellent tempura place. Took the biggest course for lunch, plenty of tempura, ends off with rice or noodles and some dessert. Overall, it's pretty nice, not heavily seasoned, with very fresh ingredi…
