This Henderson Avenue Japanese joint, tucked in behind a zen garden, has a reputation larger than its compact-sized digs. And understandably so. Tei Tei has been serving some of the best Japanese fare in Dallas since 1998. 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 delectable offerings, most of which is shipped in daily from Japan. Hits include everything from grilled whole branzino and Washu steak to daily specials ranging from baby yellowtail collar to Iwashi sardines. Along with charcoal and hot rock cooking, Tei Tei serves up a slew of raw options and exotic Japanese specialties. Be sure to give the saké list a proper look too, there are around 20 well-curated options to choose from.
