Tensho serves Edomae-style sushi from a counter in Downtown Los Angeles, at 418 E 2nd St. The restaurant is classified as hard to book and counter only, a format that typically means a single seating area built around the chef's preparation rather than separate dining tables.
The kitchen operates nightly from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with Monday as the sole closed day. Tensho sits in the luxury price tier, the highest bracket tracked here, though a specific menu price has not been published. Reservations are handled by phone through (213) 617-1016; there is no listed online booking system, and the restaurant's primary public presence is an Instagram account rather than a standalone website.
Because seating is limited to a counter and the restaurant is marked hard to book, calling ahead with flexibility on dates is advisable. Details such as the number of counter seats, the chef's name, and exact pricing are not published and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant before planning a visit.
