I have been going to Tei-An for many years. And knew something was off. I should hv known when the motorcycle no longer greeted me and the mask which hung by our regular table was missing . The menu was not as exciting as it usually is and a few of our regular orders were not on par, including the soba noodles, the mushrooms and the tempura corn was blah. It is a shame bc the former restaurant chef and owner really made all the difference. A restaurant group that owns Hudson house is not meant to own as special of a restaurant as Tei an. I wish I had kinder words. The service however was very good.

Service was very slow and it was loud inside the restaurant. Not a good environment for a romantic evening.
Shaun
Overall, this was a great experience. The food quality was very good and the ambience and service was better than average also. I would definitely go back.

The restaurant felt overrated. Food was expensive and was OK. Not too great for the money you spend. You could definitely get same level food at other places for better/lower price.
Justin
The food quality is great, but overpriced IMO. The soba is interesting with 4 different dipping sauces, but nothing to write home about.

From the moment we entered the front door, my daughter and I recognized this was going to be special. And it was! We snagged an early dinner reservation on a Saturday to celebrate her 12th birthday. She has been a a student of Japanese language and culture for years after we hosted Japanese high school students in our home through Rotary. We ordered the housemade pickles and pork skewers and both decided they were 10/10. The pork skewers were our favorite, because they were so tender and juicy. But we did not expect to be further blown away by the wagyu curry soba noodles. My daughter literally stopped to close her eyes and savor each bite. She exclaimed, "I have heard people say that really good beef is like butter that melts in your mouth, and now I understand why they say that." The atmosphere is calm and beautiful. We enjoyed the careful maneuvering of the flow of service around the Japanese-inspired art piece. And at some point, our playfulness emerged, and we were treated with a special dessert. Everyone was so kind and respectful. My daughter felt so fancy and so special to enjoy such a beautifully authentic dinner. Thank you for giving us this special experience. We will be back!

Truly a remarkable experience. Every detail is clearly thought out and executed perfectly. I don't even need to mention how perfect the food was. I don't think I can eat tempura anywhere else, the seaweed salad I'm still thinking about, and the Matsutake ramen was perfection. The ambiance was amazing. The hospitality was next level, from the hosts to our server Rona, and everyone else who attended to us. Every item was described perfectly, every plate cleared the moment it was ready to be. Everything was quick but never rushed. Really an experience and I cannot recommend this place enough, in EVERY aspect.

Amazing! Hands down the best dinner I've had so far. Food so fresh and so delicious it will forever stand out in my memory. Service was spot on with the army of wait staff supporting and cross covering for each other seamlessly, each one knowing all about the menu and what they were serving

Restroom for Men is bad, a level that I couldn't expect for a restaurant that charged top dollar. This is a give away that the restaurant is not worth my time and money and consideration.
Alexis
What a lovely dinner. Everything was just right and the food was delicious. We especially appreciated the excellent service from V and his team.
The food was good the prices were reasonable on first glance but there were 2 items that we got overcharged without being informed
Alvaro
Great food, fantastic service. Great menu. Only complaint was the valet parking, he just wasn't there.

Worst meal I’ve had at this price point. We ordered the premium omakase at $250 a person and received next to nothing. About halfway through the meal our server forgot we existed and we saw new servers who were clearly annoyed that they had to be helping us. I’ve never ordered the “premium” chefs meal and watched the couple next to us going oh what’s that, that looks good. Really disappointing meal overall. Usually I’d we spend $1000 for 2 people we enjoy ourselves.

Very interesting menu but very confusing. Wine list is skewed to very high end, but selections are legitimately expensive wines. Sushi/sashimi options are very limited , maybe 10-12 options. Next time I will try a soup option at lunch.

I had an anniversary dinner at Tei-an, and it was right choice. The atmosphere was pretty good. Japanese designed restaurant and quiet mood makes me comfortable. Also service was best. Our server Mike was kind and made best recommendations. They own best cocktails and foods, too. If you have special occasion or looking for good place for the date, this is the place you must visit! Highly recommended.
