Made a Friday night reservation for 2 and we were happily seated outside on a beautiful night. Lobster tempura & fondue: delicious. Skewers of lobster, shrimp, sweet potato, broccoli, and zucchini. My only gripe was that we could not eat either shrimp skewer as both were entirely translucent inside, indicating it was indeed raw. Served with a creamy gorgonzola fondue Godzilla roll & surf/turf roll: both excellent and very different from the norm Beef panang curry: pleasantly surprised by this! Did not realize this was going to be a WHOLE ribeye steak. The sauce was mild and flavorful. Steak served perfectly rare. My favorite dish of the night. Enough leftovers for two lunches! Teriyaki duck breast: absolutely delicious and quite confusing at the same time. Did not get a hint of teriyaki. The duck breast was cooked medium and extremely tender. Served over mushrooms and spinach. The sauce was savory, almost like a marsala or madeira sauce. It was fantastic regardless The kitchen sent out a delectable vanilla panna cotta to celebrate our anniversary. Ugh so good! There was one gentleman serving the outside area and every table was full. He was very attentive. The ambiance is great. Hubby and I can't wait to be back to try more of the menu! read more

We went there with a group and reserved one of their private rooms . The ambiance is great and has a good list of cocktails and drinks . Their speciality are sushi and sashimi and they really do a good job at at . The servers were polite and friendly and the service was prompt. In addition to the sushi rolls they also have an awesome duck appetizer which is really one of the best I have had in the area . Excellent restaurant with a lot of space for large groups and reasonably priced . Excellent outdoor seating area as well. read more

TKK is such a wonderful restaurant and I have enjoyed every one of my visits there over the years. If you're looking to have a casual weeknight dinner (or even takeout) or celebrating a special occasion, Teikoku can do the job with tasty food and great service (without breaking the bank too!). We were a table of four and worked our way through the menu, splitting everything and if you don't want your own platter I would definitely recommend doing this. Sushi was great, the gyozas were solid, the duck appetizer was a delight to eat and I could go on. The Teikoku sushi roll was different and I'm glad I tried that too! Cocktails were fun too! The servers are chill but very attentive without being overbearing and are nice to chat with whether it's about life or the menu. The food is a neat mix of Asian fusion with lots of special dishes and a few classic favorites. This is a fun restaurant that's a step up from typical suburban fare without having to drive into the city. As always, I can't wait to go back :) read more

This place may look a little off the beaten path and random on the pike but do not be fooled. It is very fine cuisine with fantastic service and food. I had gone here once years ago but my cousin was raving about it and we came together last night. It was sooo nice! We loved it. We highly suggest starting with the kobe beef hot rock. You legit cook your own kobe beef on a hot stone slab. it's so fun and cool. And good obviously. It was a one of a kind experience. If you're not coming here and getting the kobe beef hot rock you're doing everything wrong lol. They have Some of the best sushi around us. But I will say serving size was tiny. 6 little pieces for $13 for volcano roll. It was fine and on par with other places but still. Fried ice cream was so good too. We loved it. Waiters constantly checked on us and filled our waters ! Loved it. Our server was very kind. read more

Great ambiance and an interesting fusion menu, and felt like a fun date night place. Exotic mushroom appetizers: mushrooms were savory and perfectly sweet and salty, portion was more for a single person, and the mix had button mushrooms and shiitake, I think. Chef sampler sushi: fish was fresh and tender, 4 pieces, the rice didn't quite stick together though Thai basil lamb chops: succulent, cooked medium rare as requested, basil flavor came through, mashed potatoes were creamy but not overpowering Sesame crusted tuna: well cooked, portion was a little small, plenty of sauce but didn't really need so much, sweet potato mash and plantain were great compliments Honestly, I would give it more of a 3.5 but I think during these times there are some things that are just challenging and that's no ones fault! One of those is that the women's bathroom was a little unkempt (wet floor, 2 stalls without toilet paper) but I think they had a busy night and all the servers were attentive. It's a fun place to try if you're looking you dabble in some Asian flavors paired with more Western dishes. read more

If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would. Our service was really great and the sushi and rolls were really good. I highly recommend the wild mushrooms. We finished that in no time flat. We did try the surf and turf, but felt like it was not their specialty. Their souffle was more like a lava cake, but that is semantics. The cake was still quite delicious. We would definitely go again. read more

A day of drinking and cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan started at Teikoku. I was very excited because they have a Kobe Beef cheesesteak. This was a very good sandwich but not so much a cheesesteak. The roll was below average. The beef was buried under cheese, mushrooms and other flavorful stuff. The cheese and other stuff mixture was very very good. read more

Worst experience ever at a restaurant. We went to this restaurant because we heard this was a very nice fancy place with great food. When we got in the host very rudely sat us. A very overworked and stressed busser came over to give us water. The water was spilled and got over my wife. A very flamboyant bald server came over and took our order. Our server then disappeared for a while after our appetizers came out. i could see the busser getting yelled at by on of the servers which I thought was horrific because the busser was teenage looking and the server was a 40/50 year old who should know not to yell at someone like that. The food came out and it was not that great. I got the soy chicken and it was not good. The chicken looked and tasted fake. Overly the food was terrible and the service was very great. I saw many servers yelling and mistreating the poor busser. read more

Always great food in an upscale yet comfortable venue. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, especially their sushi!

Food tasted good. But very disappointed in the filet. Listed as an 8oz. filet, but only weighed in at 4.6 ounces. I know they cook down 20-25%, but not almost 50%. Probably started out as a 6oz. for the price of an 8oz. read more

Teikoku - 8 oz? - Japanese Near Me - Newtown Square, Pennsylvania

Haven't been during COVID. But their Sunday brunch used to be to die for. A combination of traditional breakfast (think pancakes, omelettes, bacon) and Asian (think pad Thai, Gyoza, sweet-and-sour chicken). If you want traditional sushi I would suggest here. It's over priced and you won't get the normal rolls you're looking for. Instead order a noodle or rice bowl. read more

Great ambiance and nice Japanese and Thai fusion. I don't eat seafood, so I did the NY strip. The sause had a nice Thai coconut flavor to it and I liked the salad that had a few dates sprinkled on it. Just went there for a quick dinner but will surely return for some more read more

An excellent evening that exceeded all expectations. The lobster tempura with melted cheese is rightfully mentioned in many reviews; don't miss it! I also enjoyed the various cocktails as well as the chef's sashimi platter (small, supplement with additional dishes). read more

We love the Sunday brunch. The food is quite varied and always well-prepared and presented. The kitchen staff is right there to answer questions about ingredients and I overheard several questions answered today. Everything is consumed and replenished in a timely manner. While the dominant theme is Asian, there are ample options for those with non-Asian preferences. We've gone a few times and will continue to. read more

Fantastic Japanese restaurant that is absolutely worth stopping at for a meal. The Tempura Fondue has a variety of ingredients including lobster, broccoli, shrimp, and a few others. The cheese has a nice sharp flavor that compliments the tempura batter very well. The wings didn't have a lot of sauce, but were quite flavorful and very crispy. The rolls were also very good. The vegetable Tempura isn't anything special but then it's just a normal style roll. The Teikoku is one of their specialty rolls and has a lot of flavors going on. The atmosphere of the place is very warm and inviting. The inside is nicely decorated and kind of fun to be in. The outside area looks really nice especially at night, I definitely want to try eating out there on my next stop. While they aren't required you can make reservations on their site to guarantee you have a table when you show up. read more

Hiiiiiii Yelpers, So....I went to Teikoku to show "my love" some love and appreciation. What's better than filling the belly and don't say money? Lol Anyways, let me get the 4-star rating out the way for your understanding. The food was insanely delicious, presentation was pleasing to the eyes and customer service was greatly recognized. However, the location has many windows to enjoy the scenery, but a few spiders made the corners into their homes. The Host was great and immediately moved us to the bar, per our request. The matter was handled expeditiously and I'm moving on from this topic to get to the good stuff; just like I did at the restaurant. okayyyyyyyyy!!!!! :-) NOW......to the food!!!!!!!!!!!! When (not if) you go, please try the Lobster Tempura Fondue. It comes with ten skewers (lobster, shrimp, broccoli, carrot, sweet potato and zucchini). They serve it with melted Gorgonzola that's to die for. Also, try the Kobe Beef Hot Rock appetizer. My love thought it was the coolest thing and I low-key was excited, because I think I always pick out the best places to feed the soul! I had to try the Chicken Basil Fried Rice that was garnished with Cucumbers, which really balanced the spice and made the taste so refreshing. I asked for a few more (cucumbers) on the side--don't judge me! Lol Please understand, I placed another order of the rice TO GO! The chicken was tender and in every bite. Next, was the main course "Panang Angus Rib Eye," which was awesome! The sauce is definitely sweet, but when/if you add soy sauce to the ribeye it balances the flavor.....Imagine the words, "Bon Appetit," rolling off my fingers while I type this review. Yelp, just like that...deliciously written lol Definitely try this place out! I'll be a returning customer. Just show up here every weekend, try the menu items and hopefully one day we see each other here lol I'll sign an autograph or two. Am I pushing it..!?!? Bwahahahahahahaha I'll answer that, "YES!!!" Furthermore, Add some TOZAI TYPHOON JUNMAI sake and Kirin Ichiban beer to your lunch/dinner if you drink. If not, they have "zero" alcohol choices which the bartender stated was just added to the menu. Run here fast cause' gas prices are taking all our cash!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience here tonight. Our waiter (Derek?) was superb - patient with our kids, informative on the menu, kind, timely, and just overall good energy to accompany our dinner.

It was refreshing to have a great dining experience that didn't feel like "Covid times" since everything was so exceptional. Thank you for having us. read more

Hub and I chose to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary at Teikoku Restaurant in Newtown Square last night. This was our first visit to this restaurant but certainly not our last! We started the night by sipping our drinks and sharing the Asian Tapas Spring Rolls with pineapple salsa. Sorry, we were too hungry to stop and take a picture! Hub then ordered the Seafood Toban Yaki and I ordered the Soy Sesame Chicken. Both entrées were delicious and hot! The restaurant was very busy, but had a very relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter, Larry, was attentive while giving us plenty of time to enjoy our meal. After we finished dinner, they brought us a sweet treat with a lit candle to make a wish to celebrate our anniversary! I would highly recommend Teikoko for a family celebration or an intimate meal with your better half. They also have a nice bar area for Happy Hour. read more

the food is just ok, it was good but honestly not worth it for the price. it was fine, but the reason why i dropped the stars so much was because the service was so bad!! our server took our plates and then when the food came, we never got plates and had to ask someone else to bring us plates. we just never felt taken care of and i saw our server talking to a table just joking with us while we had to call over other people to help us with our food/silverware. shoutout to the blonde curly haired girl, she was so nice and the only one helping read more

When I made the reservation I clearly told the person who took my reservation that I wanted a table for two people and a dog on their deck. I have taken my dog there before many times and had no problems. But this time after we were seated I was told that they don't allow dogs on the deck and they would make an exception this one time as long as the dog would be quiet. If their policy with regards to dogs had changed, I felt this should have been told when I was making the reservation. Since I was celebrating a birthday I decided to leave as didn't want to be at a place where I was not welcomed, even though there were only three tables occupied on the deck. I felt the guy was rude because when I reminded him that I mentioned my dog twice, once when made the reservation and once when I checked in at the front desk, his response was -no it wasn't mentioned. read more

I'd been wanting to try this restaurant for years, and finally went tonight with my hubby for our anniversary. Though we had indicated we were celebrating on our Open Table reservation, it wasn't acknowledged -- no big deal. It really didn't seem like the type of place to fuss over stuff like that. Also, it's easily a "casual sit-down" spot -- no need to dress up. Beautiful interior and exterior; tasteful Asian decor coupled with vaulted ceilings. Lots of parking and outdoor seating options. The young ladies up front greeted us when we arrived, but lacked personality and warmth -- kind of off-putting for hostesses. Anyway, we were promptly seated and tended to by waitstaff with water, etc. Our server was Monica, who was high energy and attentive. She made recommendations and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was served fresh, hot, and (surprisingly) super fast! The drinks were not very good, for their outrageous prices. He got the Lychee Mojito, which is oddly made with tequila. He said it was too dry; they should stick to rum! I got the Teikoku Cocktail, made with champagne and guava juice. Maybe it's intended to be subtle but I could barely taste the guava. Bummer. The food was awesome! We started with the Kobe Hot Rock, which was delicious and fun. He got the Spicy Noodles, which is their Drunken Noodle with chicken instead of seafood. I got the Tom Yam Koong soup (very flavorful, not too spicy) and Chay specialty sushi roll. The sushi was just OK, but certainly not bad! I enjoyed it, it just wasn't anything special. For dessert I got the Teikoku Soufflé. Hot and sweet, but I think if needs more ice cream; it melts too quickly to enjoy it. He got the Macadamia Nut Tarte, which was "very good." Overall, it was a positive experience. I would go back. read more

DO NOT plan a mixed group Happy hour at this venue. They cannot support the seating or division of checks. Only go here for Happy hour if you want to sit at the bar. It is the only way to enjoy Happy hour here despite the fact that the resteraunt is literally empty until Happy hour is over. THEY ALSO ADD A 3% SERVICE FEE FOR USE OF A CREDIT CARD WHICH NO ONE MENTIONS AT THE RESTERAUNT UNTIL YOU GET THE BILL. IN ADDITION TO AN ADDITIONAL AUTOMATIC 20% GRATUITY ADDED . Our group was only 9 people. read more

Though I have heard of Teikoku before, a recent meal here was my first. And judging by the food I was served, this is indeed a very fine restaurant. It is a very pretty restaurant with a spacious bar, dining room, sushi bar, and outdoor patio. The slowly dripping fountain at the entrance is very cool ... and perfect for setting the mood for what is to come. I began with a miso soup which was served piping hot and was totally wonderful...especially with a nice touch of wakame. An awesome seaweed salad followed laced with sesame seeds and sesame oil. Perfect! My main course was a Japanese bento box with each section of the box tastier than the previous one. The beef teriyaki was cooked just as I asked it to be and truly was one of the best I have eaten. The tempura was delicious - especially with the fusion gorgonzola dipping sauce. The California rolls were large, nicely wrapped, and flavorful while the greens topped with a ginger dressing were a great complement to all the different flavors. Matthew my server was both pleasant and efficient - making sure I had everything that I needed. Teikoku is a destination restaurant in the Philly burbs. I'm glad I made its acquaintance! read more

Food was very good and service was great as well. Definitely not a cheap place to eat out by any means but overall no complaints.

Comforting atmosphere. Delicious food. Interesting service. Pricier than your average meal. Beautiful presentation. My family and I have been patrons of Teikoku for years. Whenever I/we crave Japanese or Thai, it's Teikoku 100% of the time. Whether for dinner, or happy hour, we are there! We love sharing assortments of sushi and starters and sometimes even share entrees! We've never had a complaint about the food. If there's ANYTHING preventing me from giving Teikoku 5 stars, I would say it's the staff. We are kindly greeted at the front door, and the waiters and waitresses are kind and helpful. During happy hour Monica is one of our favorite people to see. However, during our last two visits, we had some bizarre experiences. For one, who seemed to be the manager or supervisor was checking in with only certain people. You know, people with fur coats and Louis V bags. This behavior surprised me, considering we are frequent patrons of Teikoku. It could be something, or nothing, but I felt it was bizarre. I know Teikoku appeals to higher-class tastebuds, but you can't favor one patron over another. In another instance, during happy hour, we came in and sat right down as we usually would. The bartender didn't even greet us, and he just demanded our IDs which we provided. I don't think he said another word to us besides "ok" when we ordered and eventually asked for the check. Just a bizarre guy in general, lacking people skills. As I had mentioned, we have great conversations with a majority of the workers there, but there are a few sour apples that probably shouldn't be in the positions they're in, haha. It won't prevent me from coming back. The food is too dang good! read more
