Nippon Tei Japanese Restaurant

No. Just no. Went here once and never again. Soon as I walked in there was already a wait, which didn't bother me. The host told me it was going to be a 10 minute wait. During that wait time a party of 8 came in, no reservations. They were told 15 min to be seated. After 20 minutes of waiting the host decided to sit them before us, knowing we were there before. Once we finally got seated after 35 minutes, it took another 45 minutes to get our food, or even get anyone to check on my table. Also keep in mind this place already adds the tip when you place your order with the host. That's probably why the service is so terrible because they're getting tips regardless.

I would agree that walking into this establishment the 20% tip is pretty bad. You pay first and then get seated and this takes a longer time when it's cold and there are people waiting in line. The only thing that was good was the filter water in these large glass bottles. The broth was super salty making me drink so much water that I was full from it. Service well there is not much of any since you already paid and got charge and just get up and walk out the door. We have been eating a lot of noodles for almost 30+ years and this was one of the worst experience we have had in a long time. We were very disappointed.

Delicious!! Noodles were chewy, broth is flavorful, nice variety of items in the bowl. Perfectly cooked egg. Tried both the shoyu and tonkatsu. Great service, received food pretty fast. The price was a little high at $14 for the bowl of ramen and was not super filling.Would visit this place again for a bowl of hot ramen.Edit: visited again in Sept. 2019Still amazing. Love it!! Price increase to $15.Update: Oct 2022Place has gone downhill, not the same. Ordered online and waited to pickup in line for 20 mins as I saw my order in front of me. Mandatory tip for waiting that long when they could have accomadated pickup order separate from restaurant line. Not even the same quality. Sad.

I call or order food for friend today 9/15 but My primary complaint is their mandatory 20% “gratuity” added to every order.f you going to change 20% like this you should tell the customer while they call order food. Just tell are you okay if we change you 20% trip for carry out. If the customers might say YEs or No that up to them. But you guys not say anything about it let customer fix it out by the time to pay the bill. I think it not fairI never see restaurant change 20% for carry out. That too much for pay if you do carry out.

I used to be a regular customer at this restaurant years ago. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with barstools, small booths, and a television. However, the current setup features low lights and large round tables, with patrons constantly bumping into your chair as they move around. The food quality has declined and is no longer worth the wait, so now I prefer going to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant instead.
