Tenka Sushi is targeting an October or November opening at Avenir in Palm Beach Gardens, according to the operator's Instagram. The 4,000-square-foot restaurant is built around a 14-seat sushi counter, a 270-degree open kitchen, and a 50-seat patio — a layout that keeps the cooking process visible from most of the room while giving the venue substantial outdoor capacity alongside its intimate counter format.
Three operators with long careers in New York hospitality are behind the concept, per the announcement, though their names and prior venues weren't identified. Their stated aim is to blend sushi, cocktails, and modern Asian dining under one roof — a format with stronger precedent in New York's restaurant market than in suburban Palm Beach County. A 12-seat full bar supports a cocktail program alongside the kitchen.
The menu draws from five culinary traditions: Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. That breadth positions Tenka closer to a pan-Asian kitchen than a house focused on a single tradition, with the sushi counter as anchor rather than the restaurant's sole offering. No specific dishes or price points were included in the announcement.
The breakdown across Tenka's three zones — 14 seats at the sushi counter, 12 at the bar, and 50 on the patio — gives a restaurant that leads with an intimate format the capacity to handle meaningful volume. The 270-degree kitchen wraps around the room, making preparation visible from multiple sightlines rather than relegating cooking to a back-of-house position. At 4,000 square feet, the footprint is large enough for those zones to function as distinct environments.
Avenir is a mixed-use development in Palm Beach Gardens. The operator's Instagram didn't identify a prior tenant at the specific location or name a design team behind the space. Watch for confirmed operator names, a street address, and menu specifics to surface as the October-November target window approaches.
