Ten Restaurant
Incognito restaurant front with a very unique dining experience. Elevated vegetarian dishes that are very smart. No two dishes have the same side/main flavor combinations, and all flowed very cohesively.
The staff was fantastic. Very attentive. Thank you for having us at your table. The chef was great and came by for a hello before we left. Kudos for the creative menu ideas and not recycling ingredients over and over again on different plates. Vegetarian food is elevated to the next level. You are amazingly creative, and I really appreciate the thought and dining experience. Keep up the great work !!!
Definitely, the chef was not afraid to create with a different mindset. Example apple potatoe ( ie pomme de terre is potatoe has apple in the word in French .... soo creative!!!!)
Comment on this dish ... the apple was poached or soaked/baked in brine,I was not a fan because personally, I do not think something that has flavors or is fresh or delicious needs much salt and this was overly salty -- but I have at the same time never tasted something created this way..so smart!!!!! -- hot balanced with cold potato skin ice cream ( also a 1st for me) . Ice cream was great!!!
Another ice cream mention is the Porchini Mushroom ice cream. Who thinks of this!! I have never had Mushroom ice cream before. So amazing.
Common denominator was the tie in or unami flavors by seaweed or mushrooms (I get it...) very smart infusions of an acidic kick of citrus components but not sharp enough to over power. Well done!!
Will come back again to try a new menu. Hopefully, they are not afraid to flow through dishes that are stars vs. reinventing the menus the entire time with less appealing dishes.

Had to think about this before posting and settled with a 4/5.
Service was exceptional. We had the prem tasting menu and definitely did not leave hungry.
Very smart combinations of cheap ingredients into flavorbombs. Ie Sunchoke super elevated to taste amazing. Noodle soup with 90 day rib etc.
Personal opinion - 1 star was taken away because of the repeated flavours and ingredients in the at least 2 of the dishes and non resturant made component's that were integrated into the dishes. Ie the chinese donut stick and the eggroll. Also for the use of truffle to elevate simple dishes like mashed potato, that one didn't sit right with me. It smelled great but flavor wise, nothing.
Atmosphere was great. Decently spaced tables.
Service was fantastic, except any cocktail or draft beer will entail a nice waiting time. Dishes came out as we finished the previous, and we did not feel rushed. They were able to advise on each dish and the components.
Some misc notables;
Tom yum custard, very smart combo
Sunchoke dumplings = amazing, never had such a combination before, this level of creativity was fantastic
Koi soy noodles looks impressive, although noodles were homemade it was not fresh (dried). Very salty, thank you for not flavouring the rib that much because it would had definitely been too much.
Fried rice star was just the XO sauce, rice itself was nothing out of the norm. Neutral, but offended by the use of truffle when the soy sauce was so dominant.
Roasted duck- really smart and great flavor!
Dessert- aloe sake, very smart and freshing combo. Eggroll did not do much for it except for the colour breakup of the plate.
I would reccomend to try the tasting menu once to be immersed for a decent spread of the resturants offerings.
Overall some very smart dishes and combinations

Updated review - Thank you kindly for your reply. Please check your email. Reply was recieved more than a day later from your studio (I purchased sept 10, your reply sept 12. I did reply back after mentioned to check with my cc company (SEPT 12) when it was not my cc or my fault at all it did not go through and it turned out to be your studio app that caused the issue . There was very little apology for the difficulty of this.
I am removing 1 star for the poor CS response recieved back. Please check with your own platform before blaming user error.
Thanks

Can not seem to even get a package to join. Studio was really slow in getting back to me. I am sure once you join they are great. But rating is based on my experience so far with them.
