Such a great sushi spot! A wonderful portion of fish to rice. Fresh flavors and attention to detail! The rolls I had were balanced with flavor, excellent rice and fresh fish. I had takeout but would definitely dine in next time. Attentive staff and a warm atmosphere were evident.

We came with a large group of 15 people. They were able to accommodate us fairly quickly and they gave a private room. Large parties get 18% gratuity automatically. In private room it is up to 20%. Food was good. Miso soup has more scallions than usual but still good. Some order mistakes were made but we took it.

Even though the food is good…I have to give it a1 star because I asked for Gluten Free and it was NOT. I was horribly sick for 2 days and had to miss work. If you need GF, I would NOT go here. This was one of the worse attacks ever. I now changed my review to 4star because the owner, Freddy reached out and politely wanted to “make it right” and figure out what happened. I value that . I appreciate that. I frequent this restaurant often and would like to keep it that way. No hard feelings. A good restaurant owner would WANT to know this and Freddy did! So that is a good and responsible restaurant owner to me! I will go there again!

Another great sushi place to add into the rotation. The decor is full of Old world charm that you wouldn’t expect from the outside. A lot of appetizers that you don’t normally see in other restaurants in the area. The Miso soup was excellent and very filling and the couple rolls I had were just as good.

We moved to a town nearby and stopped in here for sushi. It’s such a great place. Everyone is very nice and the food is delicious. The servers even have child chopsticks. We’ve come a few times and always leave stuffed. Stop in and treat yourself.

discovered Sushi Tei randomly last year, and it’s now my favorite place to get sushi; and I drive from an hour away.

Found this place after I was overwhelmed by the Christmas crowds at Cross Gates Mall, it’s just down the road from the mall. It was the perfect retreat and it was not too packed. They have a fantastic menu and the selections that I’ve tried so far have all been really well done and super fresh. I’ve been a half a dozen times and haven’t even scratched the surface of what they have to offer. The draft beer selection of Japanese domestic brews is top notch, and the sushi bar is professional as they come. They have a cool back room that I think you can rent out for an authentic Japanese dinner party. 10/10 so far. Goin back(thirty min drive) to get another lunch special and a brew! Cheers y’all!
