Editorial Review for Ten Asian Bistro – by Ken Langdon
The Scene
While waiting for a table, grab a seat in the chic candlelit lounge area, offering great people-watching and cocktails. Deep-red walls, Asian-inspired art and a 16-foot-tall Buddha statue greet guests entering the spacious dining area. Two large sushi bars line the back wall and a full-service bar with dramatic lighting, a waterfall and two plasma TV screens is set to the side. Smartly dressed waitstaff provide friendly and attentive service.
The Food
Start with fresh sushi and sashimi, including the salmon carpaccio and bluefin tuna. Dim sum offerings, such as lobster and spinach dumplings, or scallops shu mai are made to share. A wide array of entrees including Cantonese scallops, grilled lamb chops and kung pao chicken are creatively presented and generously portioned. Finish the meal with decadent chocolate souffle cake or creamy creme brulee.

We planned a big night out and there were aprx. 10 of us. We made the reservations a couple of days in advance. We showed up at the door only to be told they were closed for a private party..they said they called us but we checked our messages and missed calls but there were no calls. They obviously dumped their regular customers for an opportunity to make money for that night. I loved going here and went here often. Dont think I will be returning anytime soon due to this night and the way they handled the whole thing. A simple call (actual call not the one they made up when were there) would have been good. We went to the club which I'm sorry to say was fun but is now played out. The bouncers are so cool and nice but the crowd is very strange..drinks are terrible too. Dont think we will be returning.
Pros: Good food, ambience
Cons: management, service, drinks
