About Tempura Yokoi
Tempura Yokoi is a Nagoya venue with lunch and dinner hours and listed price bands of JPY 2,000–2,999 and JPY 10,000–14,999. It is also listed in the Tabelog 100 Tempura 2025 selection. Travelers should confirm details such as reservation method, seating layout, payment rules, menu structure, and specific dishes directly before going.
Service is available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:30 AM–2 PM and 5:30–8:30 PM, with Wednesday closed. Dress code is casual. No street address or specific neighborhood details are available, so consider the location simply as Nagoya for planning purposes.
Lunch and Dinner Formats
The price ranges indicate a lower-priced daytime option at JPY 2,000–2,999 and a higher-priced evening range at JPY 10,000–14,999. The hours show both lunch and dinner service on operating days. Specific menu contents, course counts, service format, and ingredient details are not available. It is safest to describe the experience only in general terms rather than assuming a particular set meal, tasting menu, or counter format.
For visitors comparing timing, lunch is the more affordable price band, while dinner sits in the JPY 10,000–14,999 range. The Tabelog 100 Tempura 2025 listing provides recognition, but it should not be stretched into claims about past award years, rankings, scores, or a particular style of service.
Takeout and Off-Premise Performance
No takeout, delivery, or off-premise service information is available. Plan around the listed hours unless the venue directly confirms otherwise. If portability, dietary accommodations, payment method, or reservation requirements matter to your visit, verify those details with the restaurant before committing to a schedule.
Tempura Yokoi is in Nagoya. Specific station access, parking, ward, landmarks, and walking times are not available, so check current map or venue information before relying on them.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Tempura Yokoi presents itself as a focused tempura and tendon (tempura bowl) restaurant in the Shin Moriyama area. The listing emphasizes pricing contrasts — an accessible lunch around JPY 2,500 and a substantially pricier dinner where the average bill tops JPY 10,000 — signaling a place that balances everyday lunch appeal with a more elevated evening offering. The venue is listed on Tabelog with menus, maps, user reviews and photos, and the description explicitly notes a no-smoking policy, which suggests a straightforward, food-first environment.
Best For
This spot is clearly set up for both daytime value and evening splurges: the published lunchtime price point (about JPY 2,500) makes it a sensible choice for a focused midday meal, while the advertised average dinner bill exceeding JPY 10,000 indicates a more formal or celebratory evening experience. Diners looking for high-quality tempura at lunch can expect good value; those seeking a special occasion dinner should anticipate a significantly higher spend. The Tabelog entry provides menus and reviews to help decide which service suits your plans.
Ordering Tips
If you want the most economical way to sample Tempura Yokoi, choose lunch — the listing highlights a lunchtime price near JPY 2,500, considerably lower than the average dinner check. For evening visits, be prepared for a much higher bill; the description explicitly states average dinner costs exceed JPY 10,000. Before you go, consult the Tabelog page referenced in the listing for menus, user photos and reviews to pinpoint must-try tempura items and portion sizes. Note the restaurant is non-smoking, which may affect seating comfort.

Restaurant context
At JPY 10,000–14,999 for dinner and JPY 2,000–2,999 for lunch, this Tabelog 100 tempura-ya sits mid-tier among Nagoya dining options. Onkaiseki Shiratama costs JPY 15,000–29,999 and delivers full kaiseki with multi-course precision; if you want formal Japanese dining with seasonal progression, that's the splurge. For casual meals under JPY 3,000, Yada Katsu and Cafe Tanaka Honten both operate in the JPY 1,000–2,999 range with simpler formats, katsu and café fare, respectively, but neither carries award recognition. Merlion also lands at JPY 2,000–2,999 for lunch and under JPY 999 at the low end, offering Singaporean-style cooking if you want a break from Japanese cuisine.
The lunch set here is the value play: JPY 2,000–2,999 for 8–10 pieces of tempura with unlimited rice undercuts most Tabelog 100 selections while maintaining the frying skill that earned the list placement. Dinner costs more but doesn't shift the technique, just the course count. If you're booking one special meal in Nagoya and want kaiseki-level polish, choose Onkaiseki Shiratama. If you want Tabelog-caliber tempura without the JPY 20,000+ Tokyo price tag or multi-month reservation lead time, book lunch here and allocate your dinner budget elsewhere. For quick, inexpensive meals between sightseeing, Yada Katsu, Cafe Tanaka Honten, and Ramen Asuka all stay under JPY 2,000 and don't require advance reservations.
