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.

    There is a reason people fight to the top of a waitlist to be able to pay $25,000.00 just to be able to have unlimited access to reservations at Tei-An. We pulled up to the beautiful One Arts Plaza and were greeted by seamless service from valet to seat. I want to preface this review by stating that our server David J did an incredible job and made this one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. We started out with a bottle of KATSUYAMA Sake which was to die for, and coursed-out our meal (David helped us make decisions and determine if we ordered too much / too little and actually helped portion some of the courses to make it so we could try everything, what an incredible touch) of Fried Shishito Peppers, Today’s Sashimi (do not skip, they fly their fish in daily and it was a treat just like when in Japan) Crispy Tei-An Shrimp, Asparagus Tempura, Hot Rock Washu-Beef, Chicken Katsu, Black Pork Skewers, Miyazaki Beef Fried Rice, Yaki Soba, and for dessert T-time Tiramisu & Black Sesame Mousse (don’t skip the black honey, it was an experience like no other - thank you David for including it and the sesame mousse when we couldn’t choose between the two!) this was arguably the best meal I’ve had in Dallas, every single thing we tried was a call-out so make sure to show up hungry. The decor in the restaurant felt like a traditional experience that was elegant and quiet with just the right amount of natural texture and stone. I felt like I was back in a Kyoto teppanyaki house and I could not get over it the entire time. The space is so comfortable and elegant I cannot wait to return. Everything from the wooden coat check plank to the boulder fountain in the center of the sushi bar draws you in. This was some of the best service we’ve had anywhere and we want to thank David J and the entire Tei-An team for an incredible experience.

    We did the Omakasu special and it was delicious. The meal experience consists of seven courses, our favorites were the sashimi and the Wagyu.

    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.
