Easy to order take out on a Saturday night. Was offered (and accepted) delicious green tea while I waited!

We have eaten at Tenkyu a couple times now and have had a great experience and delicious sushi every time! Highly suggest sitting at the bar area and enjoying watching your rolls be made. The ingredients are fresh and rolls are full of flavor!

I have never had a bad dish. Everything there is delicious. It is run by a couple who take pride in their food and service.. So we are supporting a local business when we eat there. I highly recommend them

Have used Tenkyu (chef Chuck) several times to cater an event (pick up). He aims to please and can provide virtually anything Japanese. Especially good with sushi and sashimi. Hes very creative and open to prepare rolls and sashimi variation. High quality and very reasonably priced.

The fish is incredibly fresh. We went in on Saturday night at 830pm. The service was very quick. Friendly unusual staff. The sushi boat was not operating. Im guessing since more customers are currently eating out then dining in.

Ive been going here for decades. The rolls and the family that make them are amazing. Best sushi in Marin. Always has been.Glad to see theyve survived the pandemic.

I love Tenkyu! I always end up overeating maybe a bit when I get here, but there are just so many good choices! Everything Ive gotten here has been wonderful. Its a treat, and all reasonably priced. They have a great assortment of rolls, and I love checking out the special rolls they happen to have.The service is good too, Ive never had a problem, and everyone has always been very friendly. Honestly Im surprised this place isnt just constantly packed!

By far my favorite sushi place of all time. They have the freshest sushi and really creative rolls. You can pretty much get any type of sushi the way you want it if you cant find it floating by on a boat or on the menu. I usually ask Chuck what is good that day and have him make up some roll with that on or in it. Always great, all the time.

Beef Teriyaki portion was small. About 5-6 small pieces of meat with a heap of rice, two gyoza and 3 California rolls. For the price theyre charging, put at least 10 pieces.

The Restaurant is very relaxing and clean. It is also a family run restaurant too. So, people that work there are super friendly. My husband and I love getting dinner there. They also have a great take out menu too. The prices are very good too.The service is great and the food is definitely delicious!!! I highly recommend it!!!

Wonderful Japanese restaurant, comfortable and relaxed, yet feels authentic. Other reviewers have commented on their excellent sushi, but they also do the simple things right...good miso soup, tea made properly, etc. Excellent overall experience.

I really liked the sushi here, and the prices were fair. Everyone was very friendly and helpful as well! They were out of some of the mochi ice cream flavors but it was still delicious.

Chuck is always friendly and the Sushi is great. He is a master of custom rolls, or rolls he makes up on the spot. One if our favorite family dining places!

1st time there and not impressed. Tuna sashimi felt frozen and had no flavor. Rolls were pretty basic/standard. Nothing really too creative. Spicy hamachi hand roll had big wedges of cucumber that overwhelmed the other flavors and textures.

Food is still good. Decor could use freshening up and the glass door would probably draw more customers if it were kept spotless. Probably cant do anything a out the glass windows.
