We came to Ten Ichi last year but never made it inside the dining area.
Reason: we had no reservation and the restaurant was packed. We passed by this restaurant while we were driving around the area and decided to try it out. But unfortunately, we tried to wait to be seated but we got tired of waiting. We eventually left and did not come back until now.
Since it was a bit of a drive from where we live, we made sure to check the reviews regarding this restaurant... and of course, made the reservation:))
Food: We started with the sashimi. Everything was amazing and fresh. I never had so much scallops before and no one from the staff said i cannot have anymore.. unlike at Spring Rolls:(..they'd stop giving you scallops if they think you ordered too much.. poor way to establish customer satisfaction in my opinion. Ten Ichi has new items in their dinner menu which we tried. We were really satisfied. ( I usually would take photos of the food and post them here but I got excited to eat and forgot ).
Service: We were worried at first because they dont use the IPAD ordering system. Based on some reviews, some food tend to not be served because the staff either forgets to give your order to the kitchen or they mix up people's orders. However, none of these happened to us. We were taken good care of, food came to our table in the right temperature as it should be. We did not notice any sour- faced staff and all of them were courteous.
Price: Paid around $70 for two for the regular weekday dinner buffet. This included the 12% tip. Not bad for some really nice items i had been craving for esp. the scallops and the takoyaki.
We will go back and try the weekend dinner buffet.. they should have the sweet shrimp then.
