    I have visited several times at lunchtime in the past and always had good food and service. We brought family from out of town for dinner, and I was very disappointed. The music was very loud, the food was not that good and we all got our entrées at different times. I probably will not go back.

    Wonderful restaurant with delicious sushi and a large range of fish and shellfish to choose from (I would recommend the Kani maki, absolutely amazing). The employees are super inviting and never fail to accommodate your needs while you are dining. Definitely the best sushi joint in St. Louis.

    Outstanding! Everything from the service to the joy you can see in the Chef’s working. This place is something special. The food - the best garlic noodles ever. And the Hamachi appetizer is not to be missed. Those items were so good, I had to order the dynamite roll and an order of the garlic noodles to fly back to Nashville so my fiancé could taste them! I hope I’m in St. Louis again just to eat here. Go, if you haven’t been!

    The best sushi I've had in St. Louis. All the other food was excellent as well, along with the service. I will be going to this restaurant regularly and recommending it to friends and family.

    Hands down the best sushi in town. It's in a non-descript strip mall set well back from Manchester. You'll never bump into it accidentally. But that just means you have plenty of time free parking, unlike downtown or Clayton. The menu is broad and everything is of the highest quality. They fill up after 6 on weekdays, so that speaks for itself. It's not as cheap as a typical corner all you can eat dive, but you truly get what you pay for. Service is always superb. It can be a little noisy when full, but still very nice for a special date.

    Nippon Tei never disappoints! Their new décor is stunning, and the food is always incredibly delicious. We asked our server for some recommendations, and she was spot-on with what we were looking for. Simply amazing sushi!
