I always worry a bit when I see a menu stuffed with selections. For Teak, they have two menus stuffed with selection. My worry is, at some point, quality breaks down. Large menu selections have thankfully started to be trimmed back in order to concentrate on better dishes and control.
I will state that the staff here is very pleasant without being overly attentive. The first issue was having a menu with some rice on it, which stuck to my finger. Check, check, check them. We started with Coconut Shrimp and Spicy Fried Calamari served with a sweet sauce. Both were cooked perfectly. Good crunch on the shrimp and a thin coating on the Calamari, although I did not find Chili Peppers and only a couple of green onion pieces.
For our main course, we ordered the Crispy Duck and Teak Trio. Unfortunately, the meals came out before the appetizers were done. Here is where loss of control takes place. Never rush an order out to get to the next one. It's about the customer enjoying a meal, not woofing it down. The Teak Trio can be ordered for a range of spice levels starting at 3, which was ordered. It was much higher. We've had food that left lips and tongue numb, but the trio was far higher than 3 and could not be eaten or enjoyed. This happens when you rush food out with numerous variations and control and quality checks breakdown. A spice level of 3 would have been half the paste used and mixed better. I also noted that the trio came out with that drying look as it sat too long waiting for the duck.
The right thing was done as the trio was replaced with a Broccoli Stir Fry, which was very good. The trio was removed from the bill. The duck was crispy but overcooked, leaving the meat a tad dry. The vegetables were done well, and the sauce is quite good. The sticky rice was done to perfection.
We may try here again, but there are other local establishments where these issues have not existed.

While visiting my girlfriend from college, we enjoyed an evening out at Teak and had the best time! We Loved the sautéed mussels and crab 🦀 puffs! The Bartender- Chris took such good care of us and kept us VERY entertained throughout the evening! This is a great place with good vibes… we will definitely return for more!

Never a negative thing to say about any of the Teak restaurants through the years. This one does not disappoint. Atmosphere is fantastic, and food is always on point.

Salmon and Izumi-Dai entrees were delicious as was the lettuce wrap app. Handmaid cocktails were also a treat! Service was great and the server did a good job balancing the number of tables. The open dining room was to capacity on a Tuesday night; the open room lends itself to a "lively" volume. I look forward to trying something else on the diverse menu.
