The teapot has been my favorite restaurant for years. They have great, filling food and it's served family style with portions large enough for several to try. If you are just a small group, ordering one dish each would be plenty to share and you would surely have enough to take home. I love their Mushroom Yaki Udon, Mandarin Crispy Tofu and Smoked Salmon (very authentic).
Pros: The food, the adorable koi pond, the quiet atmosphere
Cons: The staff could be a little more Northern and put on a more friendly appearance, but they are not rude.
