Owned by Teppo Sushi proprietor Teiichi Sakurai, Tei Tei may well join Ferraris and long sabbaticals in Fiji as a slice of exotica vigorously lusted after. The "specials" chalkboard regularly features rare varieties of sashimi such as trigger fish and cristal fish, plus grilled baby barracuda and sea snail. And Tei Tei has Kobe beef steaks, an exclusive and rare grade of meat from Kobe, Japan, known for its extraordinarily melting tenderness, full flavor and marbled richness. Virtually everything here is fresh and meticulously prepared.

2010 | Best Interactive Dining Experience

Normally, a big part of why we're out to eat in the first place is that we want someone else to do the work, but Tei Tei's beef on the rock is a do-it-yourself experience that can't be beat. Tei Tei provides six strips of Washu beef—a crossbreed... More >
2004 | Best Sushi

God knows how many times we found ourselves on Lower Greenville on a Saturday night in the mid-'90s with a woozy tummy in need of filling. Happened every weekend, it seemed, and always we'd sprint (or wobble, whatever) over to chef Teiichi... More >
2000 | Best exotic restaurant

There are a many things to love about this tiny room with an open kitchen and an ice pit where live lobsters twitch and quiver. First, there's the cozy bar with odd, sloped couches and great martinis made with sake. Then there's the chalkboard... More >

Bottle Tops

By Dave Faries | Thu, September 22, 2005

Each year when we reexamine the people mixing cocktails around the city, a certain, shall we say, insecurity creeps into our minds. Thousands of bartenders work in Dallas and its surrounding 'burbs and most pour a decent drink. By the time the fif... More >
Turning Japanese

By Dave Faries | Thu, June 12, 2003

Imagine a film set in the badlands of Japanese cattle country. Our movie follows a bunch of tough hombres--John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Randolph Scott--fending off Mothra and the occasional kamikaze, massaging the herd after a few beers and gathering... More >
Chilled Venus

By Mark Stuertz | Thu, April 26, 2001

After more than a year of chasing investors around Dallas with fresh fish ideas, lauded ex-Fish chef Chris Svalesen has finally landed. On Venus. Svalesen plans to dramatically transform Shelly Dowdy's "swank" Venus Steak House and Supper Club on... More >
I ate what?

By Mark Stuertz | Thu, September 10, 1998

Tei Tei Robata bar drives home the point that virtually anything constructed from the building blocks of life can be used as food. It's squeamishness that prevents many worthy nutritious forms of biochemistry from becoming staples on the TV dinner... More >

The waiters can be a little pushy with the nightly specials, but the sushi is amazing!

So delicious! Try the "feed Me" roll, which is different every time according to chef selection. The one I ordered had scallop, avocado and salmon. Yum. The red miso with seafood is heavenly, too - everything is so fresh here!

The restaurant is tiny, and it's always crowded. Get there early or be prepared to wait 1 hour plus.
