Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan｜あつあつ揚立てっちゃん 南岩国店

Excellent tempura! They have English menus, and make the food fresh in front of you. Bar style seating, pay at the machine in front and hand the staff your ticket. Prices are great, very reasonable. Excellent location with fast, quality service. Two restrooms available, very clean. Parking is free with plenty of space. Great option for Great tempura - highly recommend and will definitely come again!!! Can’t wait!

1. Food quality, 2. Price. Normally, tempura is high-protein, expensive food, but this place cut all middlemen and all extra cost. We eat here at least once a month. When you enter the restaurant, there is a menu on the wall on your left. Shrimp, Chicken, Assorted seafood are the big sellers. Oysters are wonderful, but only available fall/winter. Then you put money in the machine and buy the ticket. Then enter the main part of the restaurant, and give the ticket to the ladies over the counter, and they will bring you the dipping sauce, rice, miso soup, and everything else. They will ask how much rice you want (large, medium, small). This may not be the place for your anniversary dinner (you eat at the counter), but very family friendly, and food quality/$ is the highest in the entire Iwakuni! My recommendation is assorted seafood, which comes with two white fish, chicken, pork, pumpkin, lotus root, and shrimp.

You use the vending machine once you come inside and you give the tickets to the staff. The prawn tempura was good. Good amount of parking. Bring cash.
