Ten is a modern Japanese tapas style restaurant, centrally located on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall.

Since 2006, Ten has served a variety of both traditional and original cuisine.

Chef Pei Jen Chang sources ingredients from the finest local, regional, and international sea and farm purveyors, and strives to offer fare that will appeal to the gamut of culinary palates.

Our bar menu boasts an extensive wine list, an assortment of imported and local craft beers, as well as one of the largest collections of sake in Virginia. In addition, we offer a unique selection of libations, such as hand-crafted Asian inspired cocktails, assembled using inventive, authentic ingredients, or a 'Sake Flight', which allows for the subtle, intricate flavors of three selected varietals to be experienced.

    We had a great experience at Ten on Saturday. The restaurant was busy, but not too loud. The food was incredible and the drinks were amazing. Our waitress was amazing and so knowledgeable about the menu and had some incredible recommendations. Service was a little slow to start (getting our drinks the first time), but after that it was great.

    Outstanding! Food and service were top notch. I have never had such fresh scallops, the chirashi bowl was killer and the craft cocktails amazing. Great place, definitely worth it and will go back.

    We had Jack as our server and he was absolutely phenomenal! Can’t say enough nice words about him! Very high level of knowledge of the entire menu, drinks and overall Japanese culture! 10 out of 10 on everything!

    My wife and I had a dinner on a Saturday night - we showed up an hour early because our night was a little more fluid than expected. We were able to get a seat at the bar (which we love), and it wasn't an issue, even though they were quite busy. We started with Edamame, each had a cocktail and a glass of wine - the ginger gimlet was delicious. I had two rolls and my wife had 1, and each was amazing. The Spicy toro and dragon roll have never disappointed - and the spicy toro has become one of my favorites. It was the night of Tony Bennett being honored at the UVA men's Basketball game, and 30 minutes after we arrived, a handful of former players, including two current NBA players came in to enjoy Ten, a sign that the restaurant is remembered well by those who have been in Cville, and quality enough for men that can afford the best a town has to offer!

    The food was outstanding. Everything was so full of flavors. Avocado tempura, sea bass, out of this world with flavor. Even the case was a surprising taste experience. For a special occasion, there is no place better that I've experienced. Stephen is a wonderful server, and very helpful with suggestions when we got stuck

    The food was amazing, the service impeccable, and the ambiance was spectacular. We had the harami garlic skewers, ten hamachi, rainbow roll, dragon roll and sake roll, all while sitting in the window with awesome drinks and a great view of the street. The dinner could not have been better. This was my first time there and Ten immediately became one of my favorite restaurants for date night.
