“ UPDATE TenYen delivers a truly exceptional experience with much of the fresh sushi sourced directly from Japan that is ordered each day at 4am. Chef Michael sets a very high standard for kitchen cleanliness and preparation that is rarely matched. Sit at the sushi bar to enjoy! Great unique addition to downtown Orleans. Chef Michael pays great personal attention to everything he makes while juggling conversations in the open kitchen. Get a reservation when u can! ”
“ We had a great dinner at 10 YenThree Monkeys Sushi. They have a great cocktail list and the sushi was delicious! The rolls are a bit expensive but the portion size was good. With two of us we got an appetizer and two sushi rolls and it was perfect. Theyve got a nice outdoor patio set up and the service was excellent. Id highly recommend! ”
“ Wow! Chef Michael and his team are the best on the Cape. We were eagerly awaiting the reopening of Ten Ten this season, and it did not disappoint. Delicious fish and seafood, impeccable service, and fun drinks. A perfect meal from start to finish thank you, Ten Yen! ”
“ Yes, Virginia, there is awesome sushi on the Outer Cape! Chef Michael moved his impressive worldclass sushi restaurant to Orleans after several strong years in Hyannis Port. Just met this impressive young chefowner tonight in our first venture to 10Yen, and it wont be our last! He said he plans to stay open yearround, except for a break in January and February. His passion for the absolute highest quality and freshest fish is immediately evident from the first bite. We started with a few very interesting and very tasty and well prepared appetizersedamame and cabbage dumplings, and a crab guiosa. Moving on to sashimi and nigeri, we were blown away by the exquisite fish cuts, on par with all of the finest sushi restaurants weve visited across the U.S. Living on Cape Cod, we have been spoiled by the abundance of fresh fish, but this is above and beyond. Michael, who prepares the sushi behind the open bar area, and delivers it personally to your table along with a full culinary review of the dish, told us that he flys in the freshest top fish from select spots around the world. We finished up with several maki rolls also expertly prepared with some innovative twists on old favorites. The only roll that somewhat disappointed was the Real California roll, which although is made with real crab thus the name, it was really a crab salad approach that I did not feel worked as wellalthough others at our table enjoyed it. However, a minor point in a completely awesome experience. Make your reservations at least a week in advance, as Chef Michael only has two tables plus 6 seats at the bar, and says he does not plan to expand, but rather focus on an intimate experience with the highest quality possible. ”
“ Chef Michael is the best in the business. Ive been to many of the top restaurants in the country and let me say this is the best dining experience you can have. The pride they take in what they do reminds me of someone whos only goal is to see peoples mouths drop. Well Im a fishermen. I eat fish all the time. I constantly think how did you get this to taste so damn good. ”
“ Ten Yen... what can I say but detail the best night of my trip on the cape and recommend that you seek the same. I lucked into this gem walking the block while down for a conference, and sat right at the bar. Michael, Kelly and the rest of his staff were absolutely wonderful Thoughtful recommendations on both the food and drink helped me have a perfect meal it was genuinely the best sushi Ive ever had. Now let me tell you a smidge about the clientele this place attracts these standouts made for the best Tuesday Ive had in recent memory. If youre in the area, come check it out, and if youre not, get into the area sometime. ”
