It now operates three locations island-wide, including one at Taipei Main Station. The restaurant offers three types of tempura: edomae (Tokyo-style), evening, and regular tempura. The main differences lie in the ingredients such as shrimp, fish, and mushrooms, which are the primary components. All three types feature fried shrimp on display, with prices set at NT$420, NT$380, and NT$350 respectively. It's not just satisfying to eat but also pairs well with sake; you can add extra fried shrimp for NT$90 per two pieces.

Tianjiyu specializes in rice bowls topped with an abundance of prawn tempura, vegetables, and other deep-fried delights like tempura. One portion for 360 Yen includes tempura shrimp, white fish, eggplant, melon, green pepper, a hot spring egg, and shrimp patties. A single meal comes with unlimited steamed rice, salad, miso soup, and pickles, making it quite filling even for Osaka’s big eaters. The shop’s unique three different ways to eat let you enjoy one portion of tempura in three distinct flavors — you can dip it in grated radish sauce or tempura dipping sauce, then mix it together with a hot spring egg, or pour it into a secret premium broth to make it into a tea-soaked rice. These multiple eating styles have won over a host of tempura-loving fans.
