Tei-An is a serene, Japanese soba restaurant inside One Arts Plaza where chef Teiichi Sakurai hand-makes buckwheat noodles daily — a rarity in the US. The cold zaru soba and the duck soba are benchmarks, and the sake list is exceptional. It's a quiet, meditative experience that feels completely out of place in Dallas in the best possible way.
