Teikoku Restaurant - Newtown Square, Pennsylvania

Went here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The wait staff are very nice and very attentive. Prices are on the higher end but portion sizes are well worth the price along with the quality of food so I highly recommend. If you go while they still have the Ube bread, I highly recommend that as an appetizer. It was so fluffy and paired with the brown sugar butter, it was quite delicious. I will say though.. the lobster dumplings were nothing special. I probably wouldn’t get them again along with their teikoku rock shrimp appetizers. But I highly recommend their sushi and Chilean sea bass

Great experience at this restaurant. Our server was friendly and attentive. Never had to wait for the drinks or the check. The food came out quickly and everything was tasty. The duck was delicious. Crab spring roll was also a treat. Curry chicken had great flavor. And the sushi rolls were awesome.

-------- Update:
Recently visited again, and again had an amazing experience! Here's our take on a few other dishes we tried.
- Ube Cloud: the softest, warmest and purple-est bread ever with a very unique butter honey butter to go with it. (8.5/10)
- Godzilla Roll: Was very curious about the strawberry, and combined with the other flavors of BBQ eel, tempura shrimp, etc, it was very unique for a sushi. (10/10)
- Chay roll: Simply (10/10)
- Wagyu Pho: The freshest ingredients whose fragrance wafted through the as the server brought the dish and was accentuated profusely after the server added the broth. So much balance! (11/10)
- Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: A great way to end the night. Even the size of the single scoop was just perfect! (10/10)

Will definitely make future trips whenever possible!

-------- Previous review:
Had dinner with wifey here and it was absolutely lovely! Usually with a lot of big restaurant groups that own several restaurant brands you see a decline in service and quality, but this was the first time I've noticed such a restaurant group actually maintain their standards. We had the following:

- Teikoku Rock Shrimp: Great texture and taste. Plentiful bowl to which was nice to pick at during appetizers. (9/10)

- Tapas Platter: Everything on there was extremely flavorful. The gyoza was my favorite as the ginger tasted like it was allowed to marinate for a while. Only wish there was a tad more. (8/10)

- Tom Yam Koong: Never tasted a broth like this before. The veggies it was made with also provided a light feel for the soup. (10/10)

- Divers Scallops: Melt in your mouth well-crusted scallops. (10/10)

- Thai Basil Lamb Chops: The Sauce, is all I have to say! But will also say, that the chops themselves were nicely done! While the mashed potatoes were great, wished it could have been paired with another side. (8/10)

- Japanese Sweet Potato Fries: Unique glaze. (8/10)

- Cheese'Z: Cheesecake. Interestingly airy texture, with same full flavor. Wish the portion was a tad larger, (but probably we were comfortably full after our dinner, so it was fine.) (9/10)

- Passion Fruit Mochi: Really packed a punch! Never tried mochi like this. (10/10)

- Low Key: A Zero-proof mocktail with a lovely citrus flavor! Always wish restaurants would use less ice so I can taste the drink fully for longer (9/10)
- Tea & Cappuccino: Nice! (8/10)

Overall we loved the atmosphere and layout of the restaurant. It does fill up even on a weekday. Also, portion sizes are respectable, so we appreciate it, like I said we were comfortably full after our dinner. Shout out to our great server Chris G!

We love teikoku. We go all the time. Tina is one of our favorite human beings. The entire staff is so kind. Don’t even get us started on how good the food is. You literally can’t go wrong with anything on their menu

Great birthday dinner for the wife this time around. Last visit I got the Omakase and was delighted! This visit I got the seasonal duck dish (pictured). Not my favorite but my wife’s drunken noodles were fantastic! (Spicy though FYI). I also highly recommend getting the seasonal bread appetizer. The seasonal dessert experience (4 courses) was also phenomenal. The first and last were the highlights, while the middle 2 were not really good at all. However, the first dessert was the best dessert I ever had in my life. So that made up for the next 2 and the last one was really good as well. Duck was ordered medium rare and came out medium well done. And the mochi potatoes were tasteless and disappointing so I could not recommend that dish (sauces were good though). The highlight of the dish was the onion and micro greens which were surprisingly very fragrant and flavorful. Service was on point as always too. So overall a good dinner and once again a great memory made.

Amazing food with fast service and extremely attentive wait staff. The fried shrimp appetizer was delicious along with the miso chicken cups. The sesame encrusted tuna entree was phenomenal. We also had dessert and very much enjoyed the creme brulee and fried ice cream. Our first time here, but not our last! The food came out so quickly and the same with our cocktails. Our server was great and we were well taken care of!

One of our go-to spots. Today is my birthday and everything was great.

Thanks, Tina, you always take great care of us!

Great experience, highly recommend! The peking duck appetizer was great and perfect share size. The pistachio green tea cake dessert(pictured) was delicious! Usually I never order dessert when I go out to eat because every other restaurant has the same basic options so I was excited to see unique dessert options! All the staff here were so kind and attentive ! Plates cleared as soon as we finished eating, table wiped before dessert, everything came quickly. Overall a wonderful experience, great food, and attentive kind staff. Looking forward to coming back!!
