| - Ten-Ichi was the location my group of 4 decided on for dinner one Friday night. I was previously reluctant to try it as the high price tag for AYCE was a little off-putting. I never have my fill in AYCE places and with tax and tip at Ten-Ichi, a meal could easily run to $30+, which just didn't seem worth it for the little amount I would eat. One friend of mine was continuously hyping this place up and I finally gave in and decided to see what the big deal was.
We arrived maybe a little more than two hours before closing (our mistake, but damn this place closes early). After fast deliberation, we ordered a lengthy list from the menu. After quite a long wait, the food finally arrived. We ordered the steak cubes cooked in sake and butter, chicken skewers, mango sushi, spicy salmon sushi and other assorted sushi. I liked the skewers and the spicy salmon sushi the most.
Some parts of our order never came and the same thing happened when we ordered a second round. Service wasn't good at all and the waitress was basically invisible. I was quite disappointed but after the second round, no one was especially enthusiastic about the food so we asked for dessert. Apparently, their freezer was having problems and one flavour of ice cream was unavailable because it was all melted (lol ok). The only available flavours were ones that my dining companions did not like so we only went for one round of dessert. The "waffle and ice cream" on the menu was deceiving as the accompanying waffle was more cookie-esque.
Overall, this dining experience was a let down and I'm definitely disappointed.
