Ten Yen

“This place is truly the best! I don't even eat fish, yet I still love coming here. The restaurant is always exceptionally clean, and the food is consistently fresh and high quality. You can really taste the difference in the ingredients, and I always leave feeling satisfied and energized rather than weighed down. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best sushi experiences we've had. The craftsmanship here is truly excellent. The rice is perfectly seasoned with great texture, a detail that so many restaurants overlook. The fish selection is outstanding, and the nigiri is where this chef really shines. While rolls are part of American sushi culture, we'd encourage anyone to build a meal around nigiri alone to fully appreciate the skill on display here. The balanced seasoning and attention to detail in both the preparation and service were two notches above the norm, and above nearly every restaurant we've visited in Boston. An incredible find in an unlikely location. If you're anywhere near Cape Cod, it's absolutely worth the drive.”

“5-Star Review for Ten Yen, Orleans, MA Ten Yen in Orleans, Massachusetts, is a gem of a sushi restaurant, easily accessible for many towns on the Cape. We had the pleasure of being introduced to Chef Michael, whose hospitality set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. He runs the counter with the precision of a seasoned expert, crafting sushi that is nothing short of delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff is clearly well-trained, attentive, and quick to ensure every guest feels welcomed and cared for. A highlight was savoring a glass of high-end Japanese whiskey, which Chef Michael paired with impressive knowledge, elevating the experience with his expertise. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, which adds to its charm but means reservations are a must, especially during the busy high season. Ten Yen is a standout for sushi lovers and anyone seeking a memorable meal in Orleans. Highly recommend!”

“The images I’ve added belies my review. Though the food was presented well and tasted decent, I am giving it 3 stars because the quality did not justify the cost. My baseline is potentially higher than most as I’ve tasted sushi from NYC to Hawaii. Service was very good as our waitress was very friendly and l attentive. The decor was dark Japanese modern with a fun twist. For the price, I had expected a lot more. I’m sad to say that in the end, I felt that it was just nicely presented run of the mill sushi.”

“KIND OF A RIP OFF- being a local I’ve heard several folks say that this place was overpriced and not worth it. I have a friend that is a big sushi fan and she really wanted to go, although hesitant, we all went and it was totally overpriced and not worth it. I must say that presentation and the food flavor itself was quite good. My main issue was with our server who gave us no space or time to Chat, get comfortable or enjoy a cocktail.. it was constant badgering to take our order.. And it was not even crowded- annoying- The apps/bites at $7 for 1 small piece was a joke. The online menu does not reflect the restaurant menu. The music was loud and old-school American rock. We could hardly hear each other across the table. Last, but not least our waitress screwed up the separate bills. Ya no never again. But if you like getting gypped, restaurants with chessy samurai warrior posters and horrible servers, this is the place for you”
