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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Teiichi Sakurai

From the OpenTable editors: Tokyo-born chef Teiichi Sakurai helped introduce Japanese food and culture to Dallas starting in the '90s before opening this celebrated soba house in 2008. The intimate omakase counter surrounds a rock garden at the center, creating a shrine-like, very-Tokyo atmosphere for wagyu, sashimi, and other traditional Japanese fare. One thing's for sure: every meal from this six-time James Beard semifinalist must end with soba.

Took my boyfriend here for his 40th. We loved it. Our server, Ben was extremely knowledgable and patient and helped us through our decision paralysis! Such a great time.

We had the pre concert tasting menu and there was no dessert course. Almost 300 for a tasting and no dessert and the main dish is a chicken yakisoba. It was also a special celebration so extremely disappointed that we spent over 600 dollars total and the kitchen team couldnt even include an ice cream in the tasting.

Had a wonderful dinner with my son last night! The standouts were baby yellowtail, Japanese snapper and the toro. We had all as sushi and each was the most delicate, flavorful, perfect bites! The tuna tartare with caviar was sublime and the beef on the rock was perfect- nice touch that they cook it for you.😉I also recommend the lychee martini-chef’s kiss!😘

If you love Japan and its cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant. Their small dishes are exceptional, showcasing a fine quality that comes through in every bite. Additionally, they offer some of the best quality fish you'll find in the DFW area. It all comes together when you learn about Chef Teichi's background-he has over 30 years of experience, and the restaurant has been opening for 16 years! Hands down to the best service, with attention to every detail, and the ambiance is so inviting that you won't want to leave. DEFINITELY WOULD GO BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN

Tei-An is one of the finest hidden gems in Dallas. The menu can be intimidating but our server Thien was told that it was out first time in from the host that warmly asked us, so he patiently and thoroughly guided us through the menu. Food was fantastic and the sake recommendations paired perfectly with everything we ordered. A big thank you to the team for making our regular weekday dinner feel like a warm yet sophisticated celebration!
