Tei Tei Robata Bar

This Henderson Avenue Japanese joint, tucked in behind a Zen garden, has a reputation larger than its compact-sized digs. Which makes scoring a table difficult without a booking. But if you're lucky there may be a spare stool at the bar where you can watch the robata masters grilling up everything from the whole branzino to Washu steak and Iwashi sardines. Along with charcoal and hot rock cooking, Tei Tei serves up a slew of raw options, most of which is shipped in daily from Japan. Be sure to give the saké list a proper look too, there are around 20 well-curated options to choose from.
