Tei-An named one of Dallas' Seven Best Lunches


Thank you to the Dallas Observer for naming Tei-An as one of the seven best lunch spots in Dallas in the article "Seven of Dallas' Best Lunches That Are More Than Worth Your Hard-Earned Dough" by Scott Reitz. Reitz said of Tei-An, "I've written about Tei-An's ramen dish a ton, but there are many menu items that won't break the bank for lunch. This Matsutake Soba costs $19 because the mushrooms it uses are so expensive. If it's too pricey try any of the other soba dishes (all of which are cheaper) or the jewelry box lunch, which is only $14."

I think we know where we'll be going tomorrow!  Read the full article here.

The Greek - menu

 

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of dining at The Greek (our newest restaurant at One Arts Plaza) for lunch.  We started our meal with the Artichoke Dip and the Drunken Mushrooms.  Let's just say you can't go wrong with either of those options and you DEFINITELY might be requesting a second round of the unreal grilled pita bread.  

For lunch, a friend ordered the Athens City Chicken Salad which she said was the perfect amount of fresh and filling.  I went for the Chicken on the Plaka which was equally delicious.  The chicken is moist and savory with just the right amount of flavor.  Next time - we plan on saving room for dessert! We can't wait to return .... tonight maybe?

Soy braised Kabocha pumpkin at Tei-An (photo by Carol Shih)

 Tei-An on D Side Dish:
It was wonderful to see Tei-An noted in "Four Fall Favories: The Pumpkin Roundup" for their Soy braised Kabocha pumpkin. Carol Shih wrote on DSide Dish, "Tei-An holds a special place in my heart. Everything that comes out of Teiichi’s kitchen should be preserved in a special food museum so future generations can get a taste of this Japanese food art that’s happening in One Arts Plaza. Kabocha pumpkins, which I spotted at Tian Tian Supermarket in Richardson this weekend, are Japanese pumpkins that are a pain in the assassin to cut open. It requires a special knife and a very strong arm. But once you figure out a way to open this ugly, green, squat-looking pumpkin, the juicy insides are worth all that work.But once you figure out a way to open this ugly, green, squat-looking pumpkin, the juicy insides are worth all that work. Teiichi serves a slice of seaweed over his braised kakobcha pumpkin slices ($4.00), which sit in a bed of savory soy broth." 

The Greek on CultureMap Dallas:  
We're excited to see The Greek noted on CultureMap Dallas as one of the "New on the Dallas restaurant scene: A crazy spate of fall openings."  Teresa Gubbins wrote,"New concept from folks behind Ziziki's takes over the space previously occupied by The Commissary."  The Greek is on track to open October 19th.
