About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Healthy

Chef Teiichi Sakurai, well-known as the founder of Teppo (1995) and Tei Tei (1998), opened Tei-An in 2008 at One Arts Plaza. Chef Sakurai continues the pursuit of introducing authentic Japanese culinary culture to Dallas through ancient techniques and years of mastering the fragile and sophisticated soba noodle.
Called "The crown jewel of Japanese dining in Dallas" by former Dallas Morning News restaurant critic Leslie Brenner, Tei-An continues to induct diners into the art of dining at a traditional, yet modern, Japanese soba noodle house.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Teiichi Sakurai

From the OpenTable editors: Tokyo-born chef Teiichi Sakurai helped introduce Japanese food and culture to Dallas starting in the '90s before opening this celebrated soba house in 2008. The intimate omakase counter surrounds a rock garden at the center, creating a shrine-like, very-Tokyo atmosphere for wagyu, sashimi, and other traditional Japanese fare. One thing's for sure: every meal from this six-time James Beard semifinalist must end with soba.

Had the premium omakase. Food was good, though I am not convinced that it is different enough from the classic version to be worth the price mark up. Service was slow and it took nearly 30 minutes to get the first course out. Waiter was constantly apologizing for “discrepancies” in the kitchen. With the new change in ownership, we can’t help but wonder if the restaurant is short staffed to meet demand.

Incredible food and truly exceptional service! Our favorite bites: - Tempura figs - Japanese eggplant - Salmon belly with pickled wasabi - Tiramisu - The fresh soba noodles! But honestly… everything was exceptional.

Our first time at Tei-An and it was a great experience. Our server, TJ, made our dinner experience enjoyable. He made wonderful suggestions for our menu selections and was attentive throughout our dinner. We tried a variety of the small plates from the tempura section, the grilled collar, hot stone wagyu, a variety of sashimi, and of course saved room for the soba. My daughter loved the Zaru soba and the curry soba was perfect. We look forward to coming back again.

We really enjoyed ourselves. This was our first time at Japanese restaurant of this caliber. Our waiter was very helpful and made great recommendations. For the quality of the food, the value is fantastic in our opinion.

Definitely worth trying out at least once in your life. The food is absolutely fantastic (duh) and the service is great. Like other reviews say, if you get the omakase, it is a bit slow, but my husband and I were expecting that based on the reviews and we were enjoying ourselves and the experience so had no issue. The pace definitely felt purposeful so you could fully enjoy your meal (we had a 6:30pm reservation and left close to 9pm). We are definitely going back to experience some of the other foods they have to offer.
