Teikoku Restaurant Review

: The quiet rush of a falling water wall and the shine of natural river rocks mark the entrance to Teikoku, where owners Win and Sutida Somboonsong (Thai Peppers, Mikado) have created a showcase for their native Thai cuisine as well as traditional Japanese food and sushi. Have a drink in the lively bar, which offers hand-crafted cocktails along with an array of high-end sakés. Appetizer standouts include nicely stuffed ginger chicken dumplings in a pool of soy and rice wine vinegar, and tender beef satay with a dipping sauce of nam pla, ground peanuts and coconut milk. Sushi is first-rate, from rich buttery toro to the house special maki roll, a contrast of barbecued eel, crunchy cucumber and brilliant green, creamy avocado. Thai curries, grilled teriyakis and Thai marinated duck are a few of the entrée options. Or try the omakase: eight courses for $90, six for $70. Desserts are a mixture of East and West---we suggest the fruity fondue bento box and the tropical sorbets.
