Celebrated a birthday and the staff went out of their way to make it special. The garlic edamame is outstanding and the yakisoba noodles are top tier!

Everything was delicious. Our server Sam was great, kind and attentive but didn't hover or rush us. Very relaxing dinner. Had the Hotate scallops, kara-age chicken and Ribs with Bento box. All so good but best bite was the scallops. Corn pudding for dessert. Delicious but wish there was more of the corn. The pecan topping overwhelmed it a bit. But don't get me wrong it was still amazing.

Amazing staff (Tim, Son, and Aiden) and incredible food from the sushi bar. This place is serving world class sushi with world class service in a fun environment. I go with my two year old that loves sushi and we have a blast.

They were full but we were sat as soon as we arrived. Food and drinks were brought to us fast and the food was fresh and tasty. Everything is always so good. This is a highly recommended vegan restaurant.

TenTen delivers an exceptional dining experience! The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, showcasing the high quality of the ingredients. The wagyu was perfectly cooked, rich, and absolutely mouthwatering. To top it off, the drinks were well-crafted and added to the overall vibe. I’ll definitely be returning for another round—highly recommend this spot!

Their craft cocktails are delicious and fresh tasting as well.James our waiter was quiet but nice. Service was a little slow as the kitchen was backed up. It they offered a free app as a thank you to us for being patient which was appreciated highly recommend

Overall very good! Service was a bit slow especially for it just being raw meat, but won’t take much away for that. It’s pricey, but a nice treat for Christmas Eve!
