Chikuwa Tei is a new restaurant opened by the former master chef of the wildly popular Wasabi Tei. Many will be glad to learn that it offers a familiar (or rather identical) menu to its past incarnation, now in the comfort of a family restaurant setting.
The brighter ambiance is definitely a welcome change. Compared to the cramped 16 counter seats at Far East Plaza, Chikuwa Tei is huge. The seating area alone is 4 times the size of the older shop. There’s also a kitchen as large as the the restaurant itself up back and a waiting area even.
