Tien

My partner and I tried out Tien for the first time recently. We had read some positive reviews and are attempting to try out every restaurant along the coast. First, the ambiance and design of the interior is very well done. The food is also very beautifully presented and plated. Unfortunately, that’s where the majority of the compliments end. The sushi and rolls themselves were lackluster. The fish itself wasn’t that fresh and the rice was dry, making the rolls and nigiri less than appetizing. We also ordered the lobster dumplings, which were tasty, and the miso scallops which were over cooked. It’s possible they were just having an off night but I won’t be racing back to try this spot again when there are other sushi and Asian fusion restaurants executing at a much higher level for the same price point.

First, we were sat in a dirty booth. It was sticky and I told them so we sat on the other side. We had the crab rangoon and they were good. He ordered sushi and said it wasn't that good but ate it. I ordered the steak chicken shrimp hibachi. The rice was white and HARD. I thought I ate plastic. The steak was so chewy I spit it out and to top it off it was all cold. I told the waitress all my concerns and to take it off our ticket. She didn't care at all. Overall its way overpriced and dirty. Wont be back.

The food was actually really good. We were surprised because casino food can often times be overpriced and not very good. This, however, was very flavorful. The spring rolls were just ok, we won’t get them again. The Singapore dumplings had good flavor and the calamari was crispy with a dipping sauce that was to die for. Pad Thai was good, bulgogi was decent but we’ve had better. The drinks were good, with their version of an old fashioned made with a Japanese whiskey being surprisedly delicious. The service was a little slow, but we understand in today’s world that is just how it is. The kitchen and staff all did an amazing job and deserve every praise, especially being short staffed. Great job!!! We enjoyed ourselves and our waitress was so nice. We will return!

Brittney was our chef at the hibachi grill. It was my cousin’s first time experiencing the hibachi dinner and she really enjoyed it! It was our first time eating at Tien and it was phenomenal! The servers were always attentive with the drinks and the steak hibachi was excellent! Definitely have to make reservations ahead of time for the hibachi, but def check it out...you’ll love it! ;) Update: 9/28/19 Brittney was our chef again and excellent as always! Came for my son’s bday and had an awesome experience once again! Hands down the BEST hibachi around! 😋

The decor here is sexy and romantic. Sat at the sushi bar but ordered a chicken dish instead. There was plenty of food but I had to add a descent amount of Soy sauce, twice. The gravy or sauce was not thick enough or flavorful in my view. I will come back and try something else. I saw people with fried rice but I didn’t see that on the menu. Maybe I had the menu for sushi bar.
