"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." - Nick Rallo
"This restaurant by chef Teiichi “Teach” Sakurai has long been a Dallas go-to for sushi, as well as soba noodle dishes, and the chef serves as mentor to many of Dallas’s young sushi chefs. In addition to top-notch Japanese food, it is known for it’s sake and Japanese whiskey lists. This sophisticated restaurant in Uptown is a place to get dressed up and celebrate special events." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
"Tei-An is a classic sushi spot in Dallas that is the most likely answer when you ask almost anyone in town where to go for sushi, or where to take your parents, or where to go for a business meeting with out-of-town guests. It earns its reputation through delivering consistent service, premium sushi and sashimi plates, and dishes like hot soba in fusion preparations, like soba bolognese; tonkotsu ramen; and tempura (try the potato chip-crusted shrimp tempura that comes with spicy ikura mayo)." - Courtney E. Smith
"Ask anyone in Dallas for a recommendation on where to eat sushi, and they’ll likely say Tei-An. But it specializes in soba noodle dishes, as well as omakase. Whether opting for an intimate table for two and glasses of Japanese whiskey or seats at the sushi bar and letting the chefs select bites for you, an evening here will feel very special." - Courtney E. Smith
"This restaurant by Teiichi Sakurai has long been a Dallas go-to for sushi, as well as soba noodle dishes. Splurge on omakase service here, which requires a three-day advance booking, with two different price tiers. In addition to top-notch Japanese food, it is known for it’s sake and Japanese whiskey lists." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
