Tenori

We had the:
- Honey prawn = 5 stars, flavors we on point, I would order this again as a small bite
- KBBQ = 3 stars, flavors were good
- Pork belly = 3 stars, flavors were good
- Spicy salmon = 1 star, not Spicy at all, a lot of mayo, and the salmon was hot temperature wise
- Spicy tuna = 0 stars, you can taste that the tuna is from a can
- Over all I would go back for the honey prawn for a snack but that's all I would order

This place is great cute little spot been dying to eat these. Now I can drive somewhere to pick these babies up when I’m too lazy to make it myself. The price is decent and there are tons of flavor to choose from

Food: 3/5
Service and Setting: 3/5
Value: 3/5

I really wanted to like this more than I did, but maybe my expectations were too high. I love rice balls and expect them to be super packed with flavor and fillings. While the food was not bad, for the price, I hoped for better to be very honest. If you are looking for something that is a little easier to digest, Tenori is your place when navigating the food jungle that is Rodeo 39.

Honey Walnut Prawn: 4/5
This definitely was my favorite of all of the rice balls that I tried. There was a good amount of filling and it was definitely honey walnut prawn. The most pronounced flavor to me was the walnut. The crispy shrimp and nuts were a good contrast to the soft rice and savory furikake coating.

Mentai: 4/5
This was also very good and they packed a good amount of mentaiko into the rice ball. Mentaiko, or myeong-ran in Korean, is spicy fermented pollack roe and is extremely delicious. It is spicy, savory, rich, has a strong-ocean essence, and slightly bitter/fermented. If you are not a fan of seafood this is not for you, but if you do want to try something different, I would say that Tenori offers a very good mentaiko rice ball.

Pork Belly: 2/5
I really did not like this one, to be frank. The meat was very sweet and tasted strongly of soy sauce. The bonito flakes on the outside helped a bit but yeah still not a fan. I felt that the flavors were very underwhelming and the intense sweetness was off putting.

Lychee Lemonade: 4/5
Their lychee lemonade is pretty good and a lot better than a lot of places that I have had similar drinks at. Lemonade is always pretty sweet so I won’t ding them there. The lychee flavor does not taste artificial and there is not that thick sort of syrup taste that you get when restaurants use a lychee syrup. I would not say that this drink matches their food, but it is refreshing nonetheless and I would pick one up even if I was not eating here.

I love eating here. The food has never disappointed me and it has one of the best if not the best Lychee lemonade I've ever had.
