How we calculate this
We combine ratings from independent platforms and weight each source by how many ratings back its score.
- Google Maps4.51,485 ratingsCounted
- Yelp4.21,954 reviewsCounted
= 4.3 / 5 · 2 independent sources, each weighted by how many ratings back it.
Our own Taster score is never mixed in.
Public platform ratings, shown as of when we last checked, kept separate from our own Taster score.
In the press
What critics and reporters have written, attributed summaries, not our own review.
In the limited visible review sample: Repeated praise for food, setting and friendly service. Lunch value attracts praise, while two diners question price versus quantity/quality. One notes occasional difficulty reaching staff. Small portions or price concern two reviewers.
10 visible review entries. Ten current review entries in default order; two different Tiffany L. profiles have distinct locations and profile statistics. None establishes a tempura-specific trend. Default-order visible sample, not random, exhaustive or representative. Updated reviews count once; owner replies excluded. Broader sushi, service or value themes must not be marketed as tempura-specific.
ContextThe Infatuation’s review of the hidden Midtown East basement izakaya highlights its deep sake list and affordable small plates; it is an izakaya assessment, not a tempura one.
Historical (2018) review of the Midtown East (211 E 43rd St) location; izakaya/sake focus.

How ratings work
Diner ratings. We show each platform's public rating as of the date we recorded it, on a 5-point scale, with a link to the current rating. Our tempura rating is our own firsthand tempura score, always kept separate and never blended in.
Diner consensus. We combine independent platforms into one score, weighting each by how many ratings back it. Platforms that share the same reviews are counted once, and the consensus only appears with two or more independent sources.
Independence. How we rate and recommend is never affected by any advertising, partnership or sponsorship. Ratings and reviews remain the property of the platforms they come from.
