Overpriced and mediocre food at best. Sushi was very cold, texture off… seemed semi frozen still, not what to expect for a Japanese fine dining experience. Be careful, they charge $6 for a small cup of tea that should be complimentary. The fried chicken was actually okay, maybe the best item along with the soba (both fairly priced as well) The wagyu slices highly disappointing, served basically raw and didn’t even feel like wagyu. Service was poor, expect to wait for a reservation and have your waitress rush around. Unfortunately the experience is not worth the cost
Had a lovely experience at Tei-An The food and service went beyond my expectations Vegetable tempura : perfectly cooked veggies and potatoes, with a lovely tempura sauce Cold soba sampler : really well made, served over a bamboo plate with 4 different sauces, each of them with their own unique and very tasteful flavor Yaki Soba : Well cooked and flavorful noodles, we added fried tofu to the dish and it was one of the best decisions made for the night, highly recommend, they even pre divided it into two perfect shares ! Soba ice cream : the highlight of the night, it's on their menu by a different name but if you ask your server they should be able to help out, very well balanced flavor of buckwheat, vanilla ice cream and black honey
Thank you Tei-An for a lovely lunch. To our server, thank you for your patience and knowledge you shared with us about the menu. We were very happy with our selections and the pickled veggies were a great starter. We enjoyed a sweet finish thanks to you and both were delicious. Make a reservation ahead of time for this lovely arts district restaurant. We wanted a walk so we walked from city center and it took about 20-25 minutes and their were many museums and galleries on the walk that would be great for those exploring the city.
My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Tei-An last night, it was such an amazing experience. We decided to do the 7-course “Classic Omakase” ($145) and I was initially worried that we wouldn’t be full in the end, but I was definitely wrong about that. We normally celebrate at places with the typical omakase in which it involves sashimi, nigiri, and sometimes an app/soup so we didn’t really know what to expect with this kind of omakase. We added on the toro, uni, freshly grated & pickled stem wasabi to our meal and it was a must get! Our drink of choice was a bottle of cold “Yuzu Omoi” sake and it was smooth & refreshing. After every course I was blown away by the quality and creativity of each course. I kept repeating “how can it get better each time?!”, we have already talked about coming back in the future since our experience was so amazing!
A splendid evening with Omar and his team, who went above and beyond for my first experience at Tei-An. Each course was presented with a description of historical relevance and customs in the Japanese culture. Dietary restrictions were followed with even an accommodation to one of the courses I had ordered! Friendly, courteous and attentive staff made the experience unforgettable till my departure. Will definitely be visiting in the future.
