Reviews
The atmosphere is humble and unpretentious, which adds to the charm. It’s a cozy, down-to-earth spot that doesn’t try to be flashy. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
Overall, Teppay offers a solid dining experience at a good value. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Rel authentic japanese restaurant design – beautiful. Attentive service and the food was perfect. Nigiri are prepared perfectly – very fresh fish, wasabi seasoning, small rice bed. Katsu Curry has great flavor depth and pork is crispy. Caramelized eggplant taste is on point. And even the dragon roll, although not authentic by nature, was delicious.
Can highly recommend this spot for true japanese restaurant experience
The decor was warm and inviting, which set a nice first impression. However, the service left a lot to be desired. Our server wasn’t very attentive, and we often found ourselves wondering where our food was. It seemed like a larger party in the back was getting most of the attention.
The agedashi tofu was a highlight—hot, crispy, and flavorful. But the sushi was, as the kids say these days, pretty “mid.” While the fish was sliced decently, the rice was poorly molded—thin and falling apart easily.
We also tried the beef tataki appetizer, which was supposed to be charbroiled. Instead, it seemed like it had been oven-seared and served cold, which was disappointing.
I don’t think I’ll be back, but at least now I can say I’ve tried it.
From the moment you walk in, there’s a quiet confidence about the place—no gimmicks, just a warm and genuine atmosphere that reflects its culinary roots. The service is exceptional: thoughtful without being intrusive, knowledgeable without pretension. The staff clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.
But the real star here is the food. Every dish is a celebration of tradition, executed with precision and soul. From the first bite to the last, the flavors are bold, layered, and beautifully balanced. It’s clear that quality ingredients and authentic techniques are at the heart of the kitchen’s philosophy.
Tappan isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience worth savoring. Highly recommended.
For appetizer we ordered the Ika Sugatayaki and the Hamachi Kama. I appreciated how the squid was cooked just right so it was soft and the soy sauce glaze on top was perfect. As for the Hamachi Kama, this is a must get! The fish was very light, moist, and tender and when you squeeze lemon juice on top and pair it with the daikon oroshi, it’s fantastic.
As for the main course, I had the Tempura and my boyfriend had the Tonkatsu. I loved how Teppay did the tempura batter right. Many places have a super thick/dense coating but Teppay does it very light which gave the tempura that airy crisp texture when you bite into it. I also loved how they put daikon oroshi in the dipping sauce! The portion is pretty big so I ended up taking some home- popped it in the air fryer the next day and it tasted just like when it was freshly served.
As for my boyfriend’s tonkatsu, he said it was just okay. If I recall correctly, I believe he said something along the lines of how the meat was a little too dry. But he really enjoyed the potato salad that came on the side.
Aside from the hot dishes, we also got nigiri’s. The star of the show was the ama ebi (sweet shrimp). Although it costs a little extra, it also comes with the shrimp’s fried head so it’s worth it!
We weren’t able to explore the interior since we were seated right near the door but from the pictures I saw online, there should be a traditional seating style in the back with the tatamis. As for our server, she was sweet but also a little all over the place. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will be coming back!
