I went to this restaurant recently with friends after finding out that a friend of mine who worked at another establishment became a manager here. I had been to Tengu in Westwood and although Tengu Westwood is good, Santa Monica is better. The location is excellent, the decor is beautiful, the quality of food is amazing (especially the tuna tostada, and the rolls with the dried carrots and ginger on top; I can't remember the name). Our server Michelle was great, very helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back - especially since I found out they have Sake Sundays!!
