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.

The meaning of the Japanese word 'Ten' is 'heaven' or 'celebration', and our highest goal is to create an elevated, adventurous, and intimate dining experie

    Our waiters were phenomenal. They were attentive, knowledgeable, quick, and collaborative with each other to ensure all guests were being attended. We got a mixture of sushi, sashimi, rolls , and appetizers all of which were delicious. They even had fresh Uni , which is always a treat.

    Great experience once again at Ten. It's a hopping place, even on a Tuesday night near 9 pm. The vibe is energetic but not loud and the food and service are fantastic. Ten is truly a top-level dining experience for Charlottesville!

    Ten is a very wonderful, yet pricey place to eat. But when you’re there, it doesn’t matter because the food is amazing and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone looking for fresh, good quality food.

    Fab! We had a helpful and experienced waitperson; excellent food we shared; relaxing space; tables far enough apart it is not noisy. All added up to a fun dinner. We will return.

    Took my brand new fiance here, it was really nice to try quality Japanese cuisine and the waiter was super nice and helpful even though we didn't know much about the food. Not someplace I'd come frequently due to the price but definitely worth it for the special occasion.

    Great find! Upstairs on the downtown mall. Lovely atmosphere if a bit loud. Also quite dark so we had to use our phones to see the menu! Good guidance by our waitperson —the blue crab roll was terrific! Good gyoza—really crispy but a little salty. The sushi is outstanding —sake and hamachi in particular. We will be back!
