Imanas Tei Restaurant

Came here and found out the happy hour was still going on. We ordered from both the HH and regular menu. Everything was so good! I really liked the fried burdock/seafood dish! It goes so well with beer/alcohol hehe. I also tried the sushi and soba combo, which was delicious. Other key items - tempura, agedashi tofu, monkfish liver. The service was awesome and love this authentic Japanese restaurant. Super fun atmosphere and parking is limited if you come during prime dinner time.

Really nice spot, great service and huge variety of delicious eats

The service and atmosphere were okay. Food was THE WORST I've ever had in my life. Had the tako wasabi, which was nothing like what I would expect for this classic appetizer - I just got some chopped fresh tako legs and a dollop of wasabi squezzed on top. Had the chicken karaage, which was tasteless and overfried. Had the beef tongue - it was served warm and right after we made our order, which makes me wonder if they were precooked and reheated. Had the teriyaki chicken, the meat was tasteless and the sauce was disgusting. Had the beef shabushabu, the meat, the soup and the dipping sauces were all freakkng sour and I gave up more than half of the food. Perhaps the sushi and sashimi were better(I didn't try), but everything I've had are sooo awful. Oh, and I paied a total of 180 for these.

I have eaten at Imanas Tei twice recently. My experiences both times were about the same. The food is pretty good, but not amazing. In particular the "happy hour" specials are disappointing. And, for a place with relatively little atmosphere and what appears to be a low-rent location, the prices are pretty high. I spent over $120 for me and my wife with no alcohol. I think that if you want the really good food you have to really know Japanese food and you have to order off the non-happy hour menu. For example, my companions (one of whom is Japanese) ordered the Monkfish liver--not something I would have ever thought of ordering--and it was excellent. So, a mixed bag.

A very good variety of Japanese food. We enjoyed everything we had.

久々にウーロンハイが飲めてホッ lol 日本の居酒屋さんだからおしぼり欲しかったなって メニューもたくさんで選びきれない‼️ 頂いたものは美味しかったです。

Pricy but delicious!
