Sushi Ten

Worth Booking? The Quick Verdict

If you've already visited Sushi Ten on Old Henderson Rd and are wondering whether to go back, the short answer is yes — provided your expectations are set for a neighborhood sushi spot rather than an omakase-forward destination like you'd find in Manhattan or Chicago. For Columbus, the options for sit-down sushi are limited enough that Sushi Ten holds a meaningful place in the rotation. The more relevant question is whether it earns a repeat visit over driving to Akai Hana, which serves a similar audience on the northwest side of the city.

The Room and the Experience

Sushi Ten sits in a low-key strip plaza on Old Henderson Road in the Upper Arlington corridor — a suburban setting that doesn't signal ambition, but that's part of the point. The visual experience here is quiet and functional: clean lines, modest lighting, no theatrical open kitchen or sake wall to photograph. If you've been once, you already know the room doesn't change. What should drive a return visit is whether the fish quality and the drinks program justify another trip over trying something new elsewhere in Columbus.

On the cocktail side, Columbus hasn't produced many sushi bars with a serious drinks program , this is still a city where the bar ambition at Japanese restaurants runs behind what you'd see at venues like Bar Leather Apron in Honolulu or Jewel of the South in New Orleans. What Sushi Ten offers in terms of drinks is leading verified on your next visit , the venue's current menu details aren't confirmed in our database, so we won't speculate on specific cocktails or sake selections. What's worth asking when you're there: whether they're rotating any seasonal cocktails or house-made infusions, which is the clearest signal of a bar that's paying attention.
