Arts District

About the restaurant

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.

We had a wonderful experience at Tei-An for my wife’s birthday. We ordered the Premium Omakase and had some of the best sashimi, beef, tempura, etc… that we’ve ever tasted. We accompanied it with a sake pairing as well. The sake sommelier, in particular, really made the evening extra special.

This place is a standout! The wagyu roll was rich and packed with flavor — an absolute must-try. The avocado roll was perfect, with creamy avocado and lobster mix created just the right texture. Every dish was fresh and beautifully plated. Service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was relaxed yet refined. Can’t wait to come back!

Our waiter Austin was amazing. He took care of 14 of us. He made sure we had fun. He presented the menu to everyone and helped us place orders. He was extremely helpful and attentive. We had 2 chefs - Jace was very energic, funny and made it an amazing experience for all the ppl in our group that had never been to Benihana. If you want the best experience request Jace as your chef. He will not disappoint you. Overall, we had a great experience, enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

This was. my first time visiting and the overall experience was just ok. Good but not great. Our server was very cool...loved her energy but she forgot our drink order and part of our order. The edamame was a bit too salty. The spicy friend rice was good...but also salty. Worth a second visit but may need to try something different.
