| - I've tried virtually every Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurant I've encountered. I love Japanese food. It's unique, it's pretty and it's delicious. When someone says, "Hey you can eat all you want of it!" a bell goes off in my head and I become Pavlov's dog.
My expectations were high before I even set foot in the place. It was already 9 pm and it was still full. The first thing I noticed was the food. It is above average for AYCE. The rolls were satisfying, and everything tasted like it was freshly cooked. I didn't get that heavy, disgusting feeling right away, like I just ate a pound of fried dough covered in salmon.
Then I realized why: the food took a long time to reach our table. It took so long that we were forgetting what we had ordered. We were even worried about going over the time limit. We made a strong push at the end and just ordered four of everything anyone wanted. Then, I was in a bad place.
I managed to squeeze in some room for dessert, which seems to be the main attraction. They have yogurt and stuff like tiramisu in little shot glasses. While it's not the most efficient way to prepare and/or eat dessert (why not use a bigger glass?), it's fun to eat. Also you find yourself saying things like, "Yes we would like to order 30 glasses of tiramisu please."
I would give Ten-Ichi a 3.5 out of 5. The extra 0.5 star is for the quality of the food. I was really disappointed with how slow the service was, although our waitress was very polite and accommodating (30 glasses of tiramisu!).
I would definitely try this place again, but I'm sure there's a good chance I'll be waiting for a table in my next visit, and that the service will be just as slow.
