A narrow alley inside the same building that houses Tambai Yakitori will lead you to Ebi 10, a place where you can enjoy deep-fried tempura goodness. Inside, you’ll see a quirky Japanese mural made by Frank Perez that’s a perfect addition to your Instagram feed.
Ebi 10 means shrimp tempura when directly translated into English. Owned by Celene Viray and her family, they wanted to bring authentic tempura in Makati without breaking our banks. Coming from food businesses such as Kampai and Joe’s Brew, which are also available inside the Ebi 10, they wanted to have a restaurant that offers great tasting food.

This furtive restaurant will surprise you with their tempura, all fried to perfection. Each shrimp is coated in tempura batter and deep-fried to perfection. The coating is not too thick nor is it too thin. It’s crispy on the outside and flavorful to the last bite.

Although tempura is the star at Ebi 10, they also offer different Japanese favorites like yakisoba, gyoza, chahan (Japanese fried rice), and rolls. One of their bestsellers is the Stuffed Mushroom. It’s stuffed with pork, is undeniably good, and goes straight to the top of our list. You can’t go wrong with their jumbo shrimp (Php 120 per piece); not only is each piece majestic, they’re also affordable.

For late night cravings, we recommend their Bacon Yakisoba. The soup is rich and flavorful so you won’t get too intimidated with the added vegetables. For something filling, get their Ebi 10 Chahan or Tori Chahan. Rolls and Sashimi lovers should try their Spicy Salmon Roll and Salmon Aburi.

Yet to be released is their Crab Claw Tempura. Crab claws may be meaty, but they’re surprisingly good when turned into a tempura.
You can mix and match tempuras as you please at Ebi 10. Invite your friends and have a tempura night out while pairing it with some Joe’s beer!
