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

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.

    Excellent sushi with some twists on typical rolls; fresh and delicious. Very attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. Restaurant is quite busy with lots going on, so our little table didn't feel as private as I would have liked; next time I will request a booth or sit at the sushi bar. We will continue to return to Ten when we are in Charlottesville.

    Great fresh sushi. Nice wine by the glass selection. We sat in Back section with tables very close together and it was extremely noisy. Hard to hear each other talk across the table. Our server was great. Overall it would be five star if it wasn’t for the noise and the crowding of the back room.
