| - I recently went to Ten-Ichi for the first this past Friday and I was kind of curious to see myself if it was the best Japanese AYCE restaurant in Scarborough/Markham as many others have mentioned.
We called and made reservations for four at 7:30 pm. Once we arrived, we were quickly seated, it was quite busy, so if your planning to go on a weekend, make sure you make reservations. It was $25.95 per person for dinner (Fri - Sun price) which is on par price wise relative to it's competitors.
The menu at Ten-Ichi is not very extensive but for the items they do offer on their menu, they do a reasonably good job.
Sashimi/Sushi:
The Sashimi offered is small and simple (Salmon, Red Snapper, Surf Clam, White Tuna, Herbed Salmon and Sweet Shrimp). The Sashimi is pretty fresh for a Japanese AYCE, nothing spectacular.
The only issue I had with the food is the maki rolls specifically the rice, we ordered the spicy salmon rolls and the tuna maki rolls and the rice was too thick and rolled too tight making the maki rolls too heavy and not as easy to digest.
Grilled Foods:
The grilled food is really good, specifically the Korean kalbi, sizzling sirloin steak and the salt and pepper chicken wings.
The Korean Kalbi had a fair amount of meat and had a really nice char to it, the sizzling sirloin steak was very flavourful because of the garlic cloves and seasoning and they probably do the best chicken wings for any Japanese AYCE, they were perfectly seasoned and grilled.
Desserts:
Ten-Ichi has a fair size dessert menu and some of the items that really stood out on the dessert menu was the mango yogurt and the ginger creme brulee. The fried banana was not too good and some of the other items like the tiramisu, ice cream, chocolate mousse and custard cream were pretty standard for a Japanese AYCE restaurant.
The service was pretty average like any other Japanese AYCE restaurant, the food came out in a reasonable time and a few items that we ordered, we had to follow up on but it's somewhat common at any busy Japanese AYCE restaurant when you order a lot of food items. When I think of bad service at a Japanese AYCE restaurant, nothing compares to Yang's on Highway 7 in Markham.
