10Best Says

This sleek, moodily lit Dallas Arts District haunt has long been lauded as one of the city's best Japanese restaurants. Helmed by renowned chef Teiichi Sakurai, the extensive menu features an array of sushi and sashimi (flown in fresh from Kyushu, Japan) along with a variety of both raw and cooked dishes. Sakurai's specialty is hand-crafted soba noodles, which can be ordered cold or warm and come with an assortment of rich broths and sauces. The omakase (tasting menu), while not easy on the wallet, is the best way to experience all Tei-An has to offer. Don't skip dessert, the soba ice cream with black honey is worth saving space for. Did we mention the rooftop terrace?
