Tei Tei Robata Bar cooks over charcoal. Robata grilling, sashimi alongside it, and a Japanese spirits list, in a Knox-Henderson room that has been running since 1998. It is dinner only, and it has rules.
The Booking Rules, Which Are Stricter Than Most
Tei Tei protects its covers more carefully than almost any Dallas restaurant of its size. Worth knowing before you plan a group.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Parties of five or more | Must book by phone, not online |
| Changes and no-shows | $25 per person inside 24 hours |
| Service | Dinner only, Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday 5:30pm to 10pm |
| Weekends | Friday and Saturday, 5:30pm to 11pm |
That cancellation policy is not unusual for a restaurant with a fixed grill station and limited seats, but it does mean a tentative group booking has a price. We hold and confirm rather than guess.
The restaurant was founded by Teiichi Sakurai, who also opened Teppo in 1995 and later Tei-An, and who sold Tei Tei to his head chef in 2001. The lineage explains the seriousness of the grill.
Robata versus sushi, for the same group
We make the phone booking, absorb the timing, and keep the group inside the 24-hour window. Tell us the date: ask the concierge or request a reservation.

No private dining room or seated capacity is published. We confirm space for larger parties by phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you book a large party at Tei Tei Robata Bar?
Parties of five or more must book by phone rather than online. There is no published private room, so we confirm the space directly before committing a group.
Does Tei Tei charge for cancellations?
Yes. Changes or no-shows inside 24 hours carry a $25 per person charge. It is a small room with a fixed grill station, so tentative bookings are not free.
What is robata?
Charcoal grilling over an open hearth, with skewers cooked to order in front of you. Tei Tei has been doing it on Henderson Avenue since 1998, alongside sashimi and a Japanese spirits list.
