Reviews of Teak (Restaurant)

Great overall!

Ahmed Elzayat

Classy nice place. Club was fun and it had really good music

I tried to go here the other week, made a reservation for 2 at 6 P.M.. After a long and arduous search for parking in the adjacent municipal lot, I had seen a minimum of 12+ tables not seated. Upon entering I gave our host my name. I have to admit he was quit rude, never looking up from his pad and never acknowledging us with a simple pleasantry. He then told me my reservation was for 2 hours later, sorry but i’m not senile yet and still maintain a great mental stability. I told him I made my reservation at 6 P.M. via Open Table. Based upon my observation of 12 vacant tables I inquired if he could seat us. Responding, yet again with any form of eye contact I was told “no”. I’m sorry but the restaurants that I have owned previously I had always sat my open tables, turned them over and re-sat them again and again through out the time we were opened. Call me crazy but having an open table without it generating income is surely inane. We left. Any meal that we decided to have hear was already tainted by the host’ horrific personality. I’d suggest leaving this restaurant alone.

Waited almost 2 hours, sat down for the rude waitress with short black hair to come and tell us an hour wait for food. We were trying to find out what we all wanted to eat and she was rushing us; then cursed at us because we asked her to be patient; that we had just waited almost 2 hours to eat, not to rush us. She is this Way everytime we come here & idk why she still has her job. She is miserable and rude and should not be in customer service.

Don’t not go to there on Monday. They do have a Stupid Rule that if your party does not arrive together, they will not give you a table to eat. You have to go to the second floor and get a small table. You can only eat salads and sushi on the second floor. Our third person was running about 30 minutes so we even offered to start ordering and eating but we were told it was the “Monday night rule” to only seat complete parties. This is the most stupid restaurant rule I have never seen before. I think their boss may not be worried about losing business though. We will definitely never be returning.

Excellent!!! We had a lovely time! Service was great! Loved our waitress! Food was sooo good...the edamame dumplings were really good. 1 entree was late but the waitress gave us a free dessert to compensate. They brought out a delicious chocolate cake with ice cream with a candle for friend's birthday. We had the roti and nutella ice cream, too. It was heavenly!!! All of our server's suggestions were spot on amd delicious! Highly recommend this place and to make it even better Mondays are half price on food!!

Andrew Kaplan

Food is excellent but they clear table quickly even if you still have food on your plate

kenneth lewandowski

Teak is the best restaurant in Red Bank for Asia food.They have freshest and best prepared dishes you can find.When the weather is nice all the large windows are open and it feels like outdoor dinning.The staff are friendly and most helpful to please the customer.I highly recommend this establishment.

Kathleen Rayson

Wonderful food and service. Only flaw is the noise level inside was too much. Sitting outside was much better especially in the nice weather.

Taylor D

Too crowded, everyone on top of each other. There was nowhere to put your coat even though it was hot inside and cold outside. Had to carry it the entire time.Security are rude.

Ryan Moore

Great food! Good deal on Mondays. Obnoxiously loud club upstairs if you're into it.

Edward Brady

Amazing food and fun atmosphere. We were offered happy hour drinks on the great outdoor patio. We ordered sushi and some various Thai dishes. All the food was delicious. After dinner we stayed for the band. This restaurant is fun and reliable. Would return.

Vick Patel

Mixed crowd Well Drinks Safe Secure truly hospitable

Michael Porte

Creative, beautiful restaurant. Such clean flavors. Excellent recommendation from me.

OREN LINDER

We came we have been told wait is 1 hours we waited over one and half hour and then when we set the waitress was with bad attitude and nasty Hurdle service by service we got up and left place even we waited over an hour and half and then waitress not only was Rushing but cursed at us. Used the “f word” to be exact.

Chris Pinner

Great place for late night drinks. Awesome band playing in the upstairs patio. Great service and delicious drinks.

Laurence

Perfect experience. Amazing sushi and hot food, excellent service, great drink menu (beer, wine, cocktails, sake) and dessert. Also very nice atmosphere. This is the best Japanese (fusion) restaurant in Central NJ.

Shulom Ben Ruban

I’ve been coming here for years but unlike similar establishments the quality doesn’t wane. The upstairs vibe is open and cool. The service is unwavering and the food is consistently of a high quality and taste. I would still highly recommend this place after all these years. I have also reserved several rooms upstairs and downstairs over the years and I have never been let down. The food served at these events are of the same quality as that served in the restaurant.

Tricia Iscaro

Really fresh & tasty Sushi... really nice decor inside as well..

Mary Moscarello Gutierrez

Stopped here for a bite and beverage before heading to the nearby Count Basie Theatre for a concert. Decent vegan options - this Asian inspired restaurant has a local vibe and bartenders who aim to please.

Jennifer Moore

Good music. Great drinks. Just a little too crowded for me... the interior design could use some help.

jason witkowski

Way overpriced and the thai is simply Ok. At night turns into weird night club

Christian Richards

Good food and cocktails and a nice variety to their menu. The sushi and drunken man noodles are choice ✅. You might catch Snooki on the weekend nights...

Jessica Aleman

Pricey but DELICIOUS! Great selection of fresh sushi and the staff is nice! I have only been there once and I think it’s my favorite sushi restaurant

SHERI Miranda

If your looking for a place you can hear what your date is saying this is a no Go

Damon Weiss

Everything is always stellar from start to finish. Great folks , stellar food and great atmosphere.

Jonathan Vinokur

Food was outstanding. Great flavor and nice options on the menu. Had the shirt rib tacos for appetizer (only come set 2), Asian ceasar salad, which was delicious and I normally dont like salads, naruto roll which was cucumber wrapped sushi roll and was outstanding, and then schezuan NY strip to top it off. I took my wife so we split all of this and it was enough food for both. Again, flavors are amazing and we enjoyed everything. For dessert we got some kind of Asian pancake with nutella ice cream. The pancake was delicious ice cream was a bit bland. Food cooked to perfection. The reason not 5 stars was the weight staff was either tired or just didn't care. Took a while to get anyone's attention and our waitress, even though she did not do anything specific to be bad, was just plain bland. I do not usually expect anything from the staff but a smile from time to time would not be a bad idea. Maybe she had a bad evening. Not sure. Would be willing to go back to see if atmosphere is different.

Alyssa Ippolito

I have come here so many times and last night was the last time I will EVER return. Went with a few friends for a birthday and had a man accuse my boyfriend who is black that he had stole $100 from him. The bartender at first accused my boyfriend as well. The man continued to go on about my boyfriend stealing the money and used racial profanity. Management did not apologize nor did they address the situation properly, all they did was try and kick us out the entire time. It was extremely disappointing and I will not be giving them any business further on.

Irene Arielle

Wonderful food and atmosphere, well within a theater. What a find!

Tuduetso Masire

Literally top 5 restaurants I’ve been to in the United States.

Denise Egan

Trendy and delicious. Creative sushi rolls and amazing full courses. Great ambiance and service.

Curtis Frederick

The food was very good but it was very loud there.

Susan Petrizzo

Excellent food and excellent service. We got there later than we wanted, but called to let them know we were stuck. They held our table, made excellent food recommendations, and got us out in time for our show. Never a dirty dish or napkin left on the table for more than a minute. We had Korean fried wings, dumplings, shrimp, and poke salad on the small plates. Everything was delicious! We'll be back.

Daniel Brennan

After the security guard at the door asked for my ID as they always do, I continued through the doors with my girlfriend. Not more then 5 steps through the door, another security guard picked me out of a group of people and asked to see my ID again even though he just saw it get checked at the door. I'm 31 and I don't look young. I understand there's policy but asking someone twice in a 10 second period is a little much.

paul gallagher

It was ok. Very expensive for ok. Arrived at 510. Finally had order at 525. Appetizer finally came at 545. Very slow for empty room. Rice was very good. But overall just ok. Rather spend a meal next time some place different.

Asaf Yishai

Very nice place. Service was good, food was great.

William A.

Perfect ethnic Red Bank eatery, refined environment with polite, efficient staff, highly recommended for a romantic rendezvous, family dinner or with that special group of friends.

Darlene Locorriere

Mondays half price sushi menu good food

Derek Owen

The food is fairly average but the atmosphere can be great.

Theresa Kamm

Place was crowded as expected on a Monday. Atmosphere was great, but every course we ordered came out cold.

Albi Retired Policemen Trenton NJ

Great fun place for food and music

Wesley Rucker

Great food to dine. Attractive nightlife to the local area.

lynne clemons

Food was delicious. Went there on an evening when the weather was perfect to sit outdoors. I wonder if the restaurants have a professional spray to repel mosquitoes because the mosquitoes were dining also. I was bit a couple of times. Great friendly service though. Definitely would go back I have been there before. Teak was my out of town guest choice in which they wanted to revisit.

Faccas117 .

Superb experience! The pad Thai was so great!! It was sweet (not spicy) and had so many flavors. Service was excellent also!

Kevin Daly

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was delicious and the combination of flavors was creative and fit together nicely. The open air dining area was really nice to sit in on a summer day.

Mollie Feldman

Teak has the best Asian fusion I have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully. Their drink list was impressive, I would recommend the pineapple jalapeno margarita. Great service. The next time I am in NJ I will definitely be going back!

marisa kos

Mondays half price. Food was delicious.

Kathryn Rossi

The sushi is good here. Atmosphere is pretty calm on a Thursday night. My server was very nice. They have Pepsi not Coke though. I got the spicy tuna roll, cucumber, salmon, and spider roll. They were all good but I didn’t care much for the spider roll.

Patrick Amato

The best Good times

William Miller

Ordered a shrimp appetizer, shrimp was fine but it was served on a small handful of mixed greens some of which was wilted and brown.

Tom Varner

Very good food and service.

Lisa Hunt

Great happy hour and excellent dinner and service as well great spot for a pre show dinner

Matthew Sebolt

Great club and restaurant. Downstairs shuts down around 11. By that time, up top is really snappin! Great DJ, usually a good looking crowd. Drinks are great! No other local place that can compete with the scene they have going on! Definitely worth checking out. Bartenders are also amazing. Anthony and Ryan, hats off!

geraldine flay

best sushi spot with best drinks especially in the summer you can sit in the patio

Jo-Ann McAvoy

The food is divine

bobby singh

There’s always a feeling of being rushed here. Do not tell me about how busy or backed up your kitchen is , that you need all orders taken all at once . I don’t blame the servers , let management take stock of how you make your guests feel. I’m here to spend not just while away time. As a backdrop it was my Birthday celebration and our family of 8 left there feeling regret as to why we ever bothered going in . It’s happened once before on a dinner date with my wife and I let that pass . Listen to your Guests on a legitimate concern .

Hope

Horrible waitress horrible security. They took my Friends ID saying it wasn’t her when it was. Horrible will never go back. Absolutely hate this place.

Cheryl Glover

Well it's weird. Some of their food is amazing :the sweet potato sushi rolls and rock shrimp. Other dishes come with dry chicken. Hard to do for stir fry. Once we had their goya and it was amazing. Then it wasn't weeks after that. There's also the cheapen of dishes :the shrimp roll had so little shrimp in it. It was like a rice roll instead. So while the presentation and atmosphere and drinks make this a pop spot, it's not exactly the food depth I would like.

Cheryl Bacigalupi

Great service. I loved the atmosphere. The bar was lively but not overfilled early on a Friday evening. The food was fresh and delicious. The wait staff friendly and helpful.

Houses With OG

The food was good but pricy for the service and atmosphere. The drinks were terrible. We called to make reservations they said we do not need to and when we got there we had to wait because they said we did not make a reservation. We ate and ended up in a different sushi restaurant.

Fred Lesto

Great food good atmosphere

Alli Dowling

The food here is great, they have a very unique selection of sushi available. I love the ambiance and decor. The vibe is great and this place is awesome when it's warm out to sit outside or upstairs!

Kevin Broomell

We came here to eat in the wine cellar for a larger party and it was outstanding! The waitress was on point and very friendly. The food was amazing: edamame dumplings were amazing! The rock shrimp was delicious, as were the lettuce cups. I am going to dream about the drunken man shrimp noodles - so good! Definitely recommend this place!

mickey glover

Had a great time the security there is

Jerry Thomas

Nice atmosphere. Good food.

Michael C

Great atmosphere, good food. Fair price for Red Bank, edamame dumplings

Diane Keller

First time there. Great food. Good prices. Very attentive staff. Will definitely go again.

Jacque Porterfield

Upscale and fun atmosphere.

Great food, excellent atmosphere and fine service

Krista Anderson

Excellent sushi, Excellent saki, beautiful waiter, and overall impeccable experience. They have some of the best food I have ever eaten. I went there with a friend before a show, and I was blown away by the atmosphere and the food. I called only 3 days before New Years Eve trying to make reservations for my guest and I. I knew full well this was one of the best, most sought after dining experiences in the area and I was probably not going to get a table so late in the game - however I was very cordial and explained that this was really important to me, and that it was my gift to a friend, that I wanted to give this experience to her on New Years Eve.. and he was super cool and said he’d make room for us as long as I agreed to have the table ready by a certain time. It just so happens, that time was exactly when we needed to leave anyway. Everything was really perfect that night. I couldn’t have been more grateful. You have a beautiful establishment, your food is excellent, and your staff are truly amazing!

Ketel One happy hour!! 7$

Karolyn Wray

I love this place, Great staff, great food, great specials . We went there tonight and were surprised to hear they had a half priced menu. Would have gone there anyway but wow. Everything we ordered was great and our server Megan was sweet fun, knowledgeable and prompt. Highly recommend on any night.

tom meany

Roof-top bar was so nice! Atmosphere is wonderful. I would highly recommend this place. Nice professional crowd, you're able to have a conversation without yelling. Bartenders are great. Food was good. Looking forward to returning.

Shmuel Goodman

High-quality Asian-inspired fare, great cocktail menu, and rotating selection of local craft brew gems, paired with upscale, modern decor and the ability to dine al fresco make Teak a top restaurant in Red Bank. The signature sushi rolls are pricey but extremely high-quality, rivaling next-door neighbors Sogo Sushi. Avoiding raw fish? You can't go wrong with the Drunken Man Noodles or Pineapple Fried Rice.

Bob Borowski

Top Notch Food and Service

Janeane Savino

Awesome restaurant. Great fusion type food

Nadine Fuller

The atmosphere in this place is nice. It is a perfect place to get a few appetizers and listen to some live music. However the food, especially the rolls are just average and overpriced. The service is just average too. I have walked in several time to order take out and I was standing at the front desk for some time before anyone came over to take my order...annoying. I have seen some great talent performances here. They have a nice area upstairs where you can relax and listen to music. I now go to the sushi place across the street from this place (better quality food...authentic taste...fresh ingrediants...about the same prices), then I head back to Teak to listen to whatever is going on. I would eat here if the place across the street was closed.

Daniel Bisheit

Delicious! #pokebowl

Joseph Fusco

Cold in there bug food is great

Alyssa Enny

The food here is always incredible. Conveniently if you go on Monday or Wednesday it doesn't have to break the bank! Will always return to Teak !

Jason O

Deeeelocious!! Everything on the menu is amazing! Gets a bit noisy when it's busy, especially with the windows closed.

Tina Loftus

I was not sure if I wanted to give this place a 3 or 4 start but I think 4 is accurate. What I liked: the French onion soup dumplings, the rock shrimp and the pineapple fried rice As entrees we got the short rib and the burger. The short rib had great flavor but was dry. The burger was not bad but it was nothing special considering the price. The service was great which is also why I gave 4 stars.

Natalie Albright

While waiting out in line in the cold and showing my active duty military ID I was told I was “not active duty because I was not serving overseas” and that the “Navy was barely the military”. I have served two tours overseas and my husband is currently deployed. It is Veteran’s weekend to top it off and this disrespect is never warranted. I never needed any special treatment which I assure you I did not get, but I also didn’t deserve the disrespect by the bouncers while waiting to enter your establishment. Wonder if I would have been treated differently as a male. Disgusting.

Alyssa Mika

Great choices, drunken noodles are so unique and delicious. Nice atmosphere. Service varies . Loved the roll rolled in cucumber.

Mario Toro

KFC wings are always a guaranteed win. Iove the upstairs and the service is always phenomenal. Can't wait for warmer weather to take advantage of the upstairs outer seating area!

Laura Justice

Anthony Maisonette is awesome and one of the best bartenders there are. He will never forget a face, or what you drink!!

Alex Thed

Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Clean establishment. Great staff. The night life upstairs is a blast. The balcony is a nice touch as well.

Charlie Abruzzo

It was a great experience Food done right Staff friendly

Bill Kuntz

My experience was a great menu plus friendly and courteous servers!

Sharon Moyer

Small rooftop venue with great music.

Daniela Young

I enjoyed the food and it had a nice ambiance.

Martin Schlager

Lovely place. Great dishes.

Angelika Bournias

Great ambience .. modern vibe.. amazing food

Stefan Besterman

Very good Asian fusion. Good service, nice specialty drinks and the food is well-prepared and delicious. Definitely try some of the small plates, great for sharing. Will go back.

Jillian Finn

My boyfriend and I went out to dinner and we didn't have reservations but they sat us right away. Our waiter approached us and didn't introduce himself...just asked "do you know what you want?" and we were both like what? as in drinks...food?" and he was so rude and he replied back "both" So we both said we wanted two of the cocktails from the menu. Ten minutes goes by and we still haven't seen the waiter or received our drinks. Then we find him at another table all happy and chatty and bringing their drinks;etc. My boyfriend asked where our drinks are and the waiter replied, "Oh I forgot" Now we are waiting at least 25/30 minutes for drinks. Basically the waiter never came back and we just left. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is because I like the bar and club upstairs. Besides the fact that the bouncers act like it's a high class over the top club they ask you insane life questions about your ID then request other forms on top of that.
