Editorial Review for Tei Tei Robata Bar – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
A handful of tight tables and a few seats at the sushi bar make up this sophisticated, low-lit Japanese hot spot, whose Asian-chic decor features small display cases that hold museum-worthy artifacts and also serve as windows onto the street. A mixed crowd of seafood lovers hustles in early to get tables; in the sexy adjacent bar, low black-leather couches and concrete floors attract a sake-sipping, see-and-be-seen crowd.
The Food
The sushi is excellent--of high quality and with lovely presentations--and there's plenty of it, with about 20 different sashimi options (yellowtail, mackerel, sea urchin) along with a handful of maki, like spicy tuna, soft-shell crab and the Feed Me Roll, a mystery creation that changes with every order. The real treasures, though, are the charcoal-grilled sharing dishes (a northern Japanese tradition), like deliciously flaky, miso-marinated sea bass and fatty, rich salmon collar served on the bone.

Loved the food, service was good, and ambiance was good too. Made reservations for a large group weeks in advance, however, our reservation was lost. After arguing with the manager, which was a good guy, and yelling at him made me feel bad (sorry), I got the reservation. Waited but 15 minutes to be seated. I recommend their lobster in some sake/juice. GREAT!!!
Pros: Food, Ambience, Service
Cons: popularity has made reservations a must

So I had this long review written out with great description then my computer messed up and deleted it. All I can say is that Tei Tei Robata Bar is the best sushi restaurant in Dallas and I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to drop a few dimes for some tasty, fresh sushi and delicious sake.
Pros: It's just amazing
Cons: my stomach isn't big enough
