Handmade soba noodles, sashimi, and omakase in a serene setting
"Tei-An’s retro-glam dining room is full of natural woods and warm lights, so it feels good in here. Even better, it’s one of the best soba makers in the country, so be smart and get a bowl of these nutty, chewy buckwheat noodles. Once that’s sorted, start on the sushi, including classics like tuna and hamachi that are cured and sliced just right, and a rotating selection of straight-from-Japan sashimi. The buckwheat ice cream topped with black honey is just sweet enough and the perfect end to your meal. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - kevin gray
"Tei-An is a portal to an era that never really existed—half ‘50s and half Y2K—with its dark wood, low ceilings, and tangerine lights. The Japanese food here, however, is timeless: monkfish pate, tuna tartare, beautifully plated nigiri sushi, grilled salmon collar, all of it flown in from Tokyo daily and so fresh, you can almost taste the Pacific Ocean on it. But soba is the real reason to come, whether you’re dipping the handmade buckwheat noodles into sauces like sparkling dashi and Texas pecan, or slurping soba carbonara made with Japanese mushrooms. If you’re feeling extra special, there's a $250 omakase option that's well worth it, but the a la carte menu is big enough to take you wherever you want to go.

"Described in reporting as one of Dallas’s premiere sushi restaurants, this establishment was noted as having recently received investment from the CEO of a local hospitality group mentioned elsewhere in the coverage." - Courtney E. Smith
"At downtown Tei-An, the Japanese soba noodle house, I sampled hot and cold noodles with dipping sauces and also enjoyed sushi and yakitori." - AFAR
