M Tempura

Used to be my favorite place for lunch specials before Covid. Their pork katsu and curry were phenomenal and I really liked how they used thick pork loin for their katsus. However, when I recently tried their katsu for takeout, I was hugely disappointed to find out that they changed everything - they don't use the same pork and now it's much thinner and not tender and juicy as it used to be. Hopefully they can come back to where they used to be, but don't expect the same quality as before.

unique and interesting courses that flowed logically into each other. worth a visit.

Great experience. Wonderfully authentic Tempora. Colorful presentation, with delightful staff. Warm homey atmosphere with downtown Durham coolness. I was only disappointed with their soft drink selection, but plenty of wine and sake to make up for it. A great place for an evening out.

Wish I took a picture!! The food was amazing!!! Small courses Served a little at a time. But you get full!!! There's plenty of food by the time you're done!! Amazing flavors!!

This was a unique dining experience for me and I enjoyed it so much!
You select a set and the staff will bring you your courses at the pace you are eating. My husband and I are foodies and we absolutely loved how each piece of our appetizer/tempura/dessert/pallet cleanser was different and tasty.
We were so impressed with this place! I highly recommend!
