About this place
Some diners who came for the chashu egg say its tender pork made it easy to keep reaching for another bite; another enjoyed the generous, thick-cut serving as a drinking snack. The menu offers the standard Chashu Egg (770 yen), Chashu Eggs (880 yen) and premium versions, so the choice is between sticking with the classic or trying the variations.
Add the signature meat tofu or menchi katsu for an izakaya-style meal of small plates alongside drinks. One diner singled out the signature menchi katsu, listed at 638 yen. The fried chicken is available in portions of 3 pieces for 495 yen or 5 pieces for 825 yen, making it easy to choose a serving to suit the group or add another plate.
For a final, more substantial course, choose soupless dan dan noodles (968 yen) or Chinese-style noodles (990 yen). One reported meal paired the meat tofu and shumai with soupless dan dan noodles to finish, showing how a meal here can move from drinks and small plates to a bowl of noodles.
There is also a lunch menu, with options for a midday meal or a drink in the afternoon. Stand Sonoda Ura Tennoji-ten can suit solo dining in Ura-Tennoji, as well as an occasion for pairing beer or sour cocktails with small plates.
