The service was friendly. Everything was good. Nothing changed my life. Tei Tei firmly remains our favorite Japanese food/experience in DFW, but glad we have now tried Tei-An. The one disappointment was the lychee martini; it had almost zero flavor. I think if we went again it'd just be best to do the tasting menu. Several servers were "helping" us but each explained the menu slightly differently; everyone had a specific opinion of what order we should eat in... but couldn't help us order; just made it feel like we didn't know what we were doing since the menu is actually huge!

This is definitely a special occasion place. I wanted to try it since it ended up being close to the ballet. This place was dimly lit and where we were seated was mostly couples. Got a reservation right when they opened and it was nice. The place definitely gets loud as it starts to fill up. They gave me a basket to place my purse in so it wasn't hanging from my seat. TLDR: It's good but seriously for special occasions. I wouldn't say it's entirely unique or mind blowing. Most dishes are shareable and we left full without spending more than $300 after tip. Our server explained how the traditional course order went and was readily available with questions. They're fancy with the water here and it's like $8 a bottle. Started off with sushi which was very fresh and delicious. We ended up ordering it twice. The white seaweed salad was light and refreshing, for sure unique if you're not Asian I should've known lol but it was still nice to see how a restaurant prepared it versus my family. We also got the washu beef hot rock which ended up being one of my favorites. The main star and thing they're known for is the house made soba noodles, which I admit we're really good. I could eat double the portion the gave. The dipping broth that came with it was the perfect level of salty and they give you the soba liquid after to turn it into a sipping broth. The duck was overcooked to me :( miyazaki beef soba noodles with broth was also delicious and warming but nothing special. The beef was super tender. The soba ice cream was not what I expected. It was good and most of the sweetness came from the black honey but I think my favorite part was the toasted powder they had on top. It added a whole different profile to the dessert. All in all, it's a good restaurant but now that I've had it, I can cross it off the list and keep it that way.

Service is always great! This shrimp tho..... amazing. I hope this is not too weird but the bathroom "system" is a whole vibe lol. I love it here

Tei-An is exactly the contemporary zen Japanese it claims to be. An aroma of woody incense is pleasingly present as soon as you walk in. The decor and stone arrangements also make the earthy vibe a comfortable dining environment. Our server, Janie was very kind and went out of her way to provide exceptional service. She introduced the menu and explained how the sequence on how the food is served. The house made pickles were a refreshingly excellent start to open our taste pallet. They were a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and tart. Highly recommended. The soba sampler is a great way to taste different flavor pairing for the soba. The bolognese is an interesting take on westernizing soba. It has the light texture of soba noodles combined with the richness of mushrooms and cheese. The chicken karaage was disappointing to me as it tasted pre-packaged and out of the freezer. I know it's not the what they specialize in, but they could improve the karaage recipe to taste more traditionally Japanese. Other than that, I enjoyed my experience at Tei-An because everyone was super hospitable. Other servers stopped by our table to exchange our dirty plates and wipe the water off our table. I can tell there's a lot of effort put into the details of service. I hope others can have the same positive experience as I did.

As soon as you walk into this place, you feel like you've been transported to a super-authentic Japanese dinner experience, fit with nice decorations and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. They have a daily special menu which changes everyday, as well as a separate menu which doesn't change. We ordered the omakase ($140 pp), which turned out to be such an amazing experience. The courses range from sashimi platters, to fried oysters, scallops, and my favorite items I tried: the A5 Japanese Wagyu beef, Duck Soba, and Soba Buckwheat ice cream. The beef quality and texture was very high, and practically melts in your mouth. The soba was very flavorful and the buckwheat ice cream was surprisingly one of my favorite ice cream flavors I've ever tried, it reminded me a bit of tiramisu. The service here was also great, they constantly refilled our drinks, and gave us new sets of plates and utensils for each course of the omakase. This place is definitely on the pricier end, but IMO worth if you want to treat yourself or for a special occasion! 10/10 amazing dinner experience.

A Rolls parked outside.... Who the hell is in here!? Got the omekase. Perfection. Sake pairings. Superb. Service was impeccable. Definitely a must try in Dallas.

We had an excellent lunch at Tei-An yesterday. Soba noodles were definitely a unique experience. These are cold noodles serviced without broth and accompanied by a variety of tasty dipping sauces. Each mouthful of noodles are dipped into a different sauce and then slurped up to be enjoyed. We also had a variety of sushi and sashimi dishes but I don't remember the names of the fish as I went with a variety of recommendations from our server. They were pretty good choices for the most part. The restaurant decor is upscale and modern, and there is a classy quiet vibe. Tei-an is a small but cozy restaurant without a ton of seating. Service was very good and our server did a great job of explaining the menu. Tei-an is a very nice dining experience and we enjoyed our meal and visit to this well known Japanese restaurant!
