    The moment I arrived to the moment I left the service was impeccable. Juan went above and beyond!!! While sitting and observing I noticed he went the extra mile and made every customer feel important and welcomed! I can’t recall the other bartenders name but he was amazing as well!! He wore glasses! Very polite and such an awesome team! Honestly the entire staff was outstanding. Juan was very knowledgeable about the food items on the menu, I was very indecisive and he helped me make a decision. He brought a roll that wasn’t on the menu and it was absolutely delicious!! It was called the “Golden Dragon”. I also tried the “Rock Shrimp” it was insanely good! Lastly, for dessert Juan brought out an Ube Cheesecake with a happy birthday message on the plate! I felt so special and the cheesecake was to die for!!! TEN is such an amazing place! The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back thank you TEN Sushi staff!!! You guys are awesome!!!!
