i was looking for somewhere to treat my girlfriend for our anniversary and this place did not disappoint. we were seated immediately and the server accommodated all of our requests. my girlfriend and i are both introverts but it was really helpful how our server was able to give us food recommendations right off the bat without us having to ask. i had the black dragon and black widow, my girlfriend had the salmon and we enjoyed it alot. if we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stop by for the quality food and service. major thank you to our server, we forgot her name but she had blonde hair and was very helpful!

Cajun seared albacore is amazing, our server Emily was super intuitive and asked us for refills/other orders right when we needed them. I’m super impressed and excited to come back.

Absolutely delicious. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. We attended as a group of non food a business meeting and the staff was very responsive, attentive, kind and accommodating. I needed gluten free soy sauce and they easily provided and also alerted me to the gluten containing dishes.We didn’t wait long on food as soon as we ordered and sampled a variety of dishes: both a dressed (red pepper flakes and soy sauce glaze) and salted edamame (delicious); we had several types of sushimi, all fresh and delicious with my favorite being the yellow tail with a pink peppercorn (one of my favorite dishes of the experience.The sushi rolls were all delicious - but my favorites had thin slices of citrus on top (genius, bright and fresh) - I don’t remember the name of the roll but my favorite had a thin slice of lime, lime zest and lime juice on top - delightful. We went around lunch time and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. We also got to sample the unfiltered saki and - if you like saki - that was also a nice compliment to the meal.All and all, if you love sushi I’d highly recommend

Great food, highly recommend the rock shrimp but unfortunately we never seem to have a good experience with “host” who greets us at door. Last night we had a really rude girl treating the restaurant like a club and was the most unwelcoming person. Thank goodness for our waiter who did make up for it but not a great way to start a dinner. Left a bad taste in mouth and unsure if I would go back. There is a lot of other places around that have both great service and food. Really unfortunate.

Is Ten Sushi Cocktail Bar a 10/10 (or a 5/5 on Yelp)? Close, but no cigar!I found the food to be pretty good and the cocktails OK, but one thing that was a little lacking was the service. From the moment you walk in the door you're in a staring contest with the host, who didn't say anything until I said "For 2.". We arrived closer to 4PM on Saturday and there were only 2 parties there.We got seated then our not-so-happy looking server came and awkwardly introduced himself and somewhat explained the menu. He made some suggestions, but we went ahead and order a Crispy Rice Sushi and cocktails (Eastern Medicine & Kyoto Muke) to start. When he came back later, we ordered a Bluefin Jalapano Handroll, Spicy Domo Roll, and a Golden Dragon.The food was good:- Crispy Rice Sushi ($16): This was the best I've had so far compared to other sushi restaurants. I have to order this wherever I go. The sriracha mayo on top is pretty good and the smushed crispy rice on the bottom is good too. It's oddly satisfying getting the rice stuck in my teeth.- Bluefin Jalapeno Handroll ($11): It was OK, honestly for hand rolls I would stick with the specialty places like ROL.- Spicy Domo Roll ($20): This tasted really good, and was super refreshing. The lightly applied tempura flakes on the outside made it.- Golden Dragon Roll ($21): This roll came out nice and warm. The baked salmon was good, as well as the roll. There are thin slices of lemon between the roll, which gives the taste a little "twist", but honestly it's better without it.- Eastern Medicine ($16): I normally enjoy my whiskey cocktails but I wasn't a fan of this one. It had a Japanese whiskey, honey, lemon, and ginger.- Kyoto Mule ($14): This was to taste like a traditional mule, but I feel like it was lacking enough ginger beer.Overall, the food was good. The ambiance is nice as the interior has a nice aesthetic touch.There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There are a few seats at the bar as well with two TV's for your viewing pleasure.Parking is no issue with the multi-level parking structure located nearby.Service could see some improvement as mentioned earlier in this review. It would have been nice to see a few happy faces to make the experience a little bit better. Maybe it was just one of those days, I don't know.Prices are a bit steep and I feel like you can get a better experience elsewhere. They have a happy hour but I'm not sure when it is, (I didn't ask and the hours aren't listed online) but I'd think that would be worth checking out since the food is pretty good.

I had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. My friend and I decided to move to bar, after finishing our dinner. The hostess approached me to ask if we had settled our bill with the server. I've never been asked that before. Why didn't she check with the server instead of asking me?
