My roommate and I were super excited about finally having a Thai restaurant downtown. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. When trying to order, the person on the phone had a super tough time hearing and we had to repeat the order about 5 times. When she attempted to order 1 item directly off the menu, they didn't know what it was. I ordered the Thai Safari Noodles that was supposed to have chicken, shrimp and pork belly. It had 2 shrimp and 3 pieces of pork belly. It was great flavor but I'd expect more for $19. My roommate ordered the seafood delight but was given the shrimp vegetable meal instead and they didn't provide the side of rice. We'll probably stick with somewhere else next time. read more

Food was breathtaking, absolutely delicious. Amazing customer service, the place is nice and calming. Thank you for having me

I wasn't able to grab any pictures ! But the Philly Roll and Sweet potato roll was great -very fresh . I also split the Basil fried rice with a friend and that was good too. My friend had the Sunday morning roll (fried in panko) and the vegetable roll. Overall , very fresh sushi and food . I wasn't sure what to expect . I normally stick with my normal sushi spot , but I will definitely be back ! read more

The "hot and sour seafood soup" aka Tom Kha Kai was WAY too sweet. I only had this, but I consider this dish a benchmark for Thai restaurants I visit, so I will not be back. Bleh! read more

so the atmosphere and service are SUBLIME but the food is.... so-so? had some great flavor but overall we've had better Thai food

Really love that Teak is in OtR now! They have the best sushi I've ever had. Great location! The Service is always phenomenal and the owner is super friendly and comes out and talks to us. read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots in mount adams, so I had to try the OTR re-opening. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps, dim sum, and crunch munch roll to start. The roll was super fresh and I loved the dim sum. The lettuce wraps I could do without (not a ton of flavor & don't compare to PF changs). For entrees, we ordered chicken pad Thai and red curry chicken. The pad Thai lacked flavor and didn't even compare to the original Teak. We told the waiter and he agreed that something has changed and it's not their best dish anymore. The red curry was delicious with lots of veggies and perfect amount of heat. We will go back but there are some things that need to be worked on here read more

We were there 7 people. Disappointed with the quality of food and the service. Pad thai had no flavor, I asked for 4 spicy had no spice at all. Greencurry with chicken was bad taste. Papaya salad had no flavor. Cocktails had no alcohol. There are many small thai restaurants in Cincinnati has better food for sure. read more

Great place to grab a menu point and pick whatever you land on. From the sushi to the pad Thai it's always good. The value is also fantastic with some of the most inexpensive drinks in OTR teak is a cant m read more

Had a great girls night date at Teak OTR! The restaurant is in a perfect spot for a night of dinner and drinks - walking distance to many OTR bars and eateries. We ordered a calamari appetizer to start and it was unbeatable. The fish was tender and seasoned well and paired perfectly with the delicious chili sauce it was served with. We also shared an order of pork fried rice which quite literally melted in my mouth. It was amazing. For myself I ordered a chicken pad thai at a spice level 5 (out of 10) to be safe. While it was similar to other pad thais I did think it lacked some flavor. However, I'd be willing to go back and up the spice level to see if it changed anything. All around, great dinner experience. I can't wait to return and try more menu items! read more

Thank god Teak is back! I used to love this place when it was in Mt Adams, it was my to go Thai place and ever since I haven't found another one like it. I was driving by the places a few days back and noticed it was open so I had to check It out. I'm glad I can say that they were just what I was expecting! We came in and were seated right away, the waiter was very friendly and attentive, so awesome service as soon as you come in. The atmosphere is great along with the decor, very simple yet up to date ( and following healthy standards). We went ahead and ordered two Thai teas, which we didn't drink because they were too sweet, and I can't blame them because I should of asked what the tea had, I didn't know it had milk and sugar so that was my fault. Moving to the important part, we ordered a tuna roll, I believe it was the Spicy Duo Roll, and it was extremely yummy, I loved it because the tuna was so well prepared and fresh I would deft go back for sushi! Moreover, as entrees we had the Vegetable Thai spicy and the Seared Salmon, both dishes were the best, so full of flavor, and the amount was just right. This is no doubt the best Thai place I have tried in Cincy, I will go back, and is worth trying it. read more

I'm so excited to have sushi and thai in OTR; it's definitely filling a gap that was missing in the food scene. I went a few nights ago and tried a number of dishes. Wonton soup, the heart attack, a few sushi rolls, green curry, and noodles. Everything was delicious and the service was great, very friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely be back! read more

I ate in restaurant last year and though it was pretty good. I got take out tonight and it is AWFUL! I got curry (which is typically soupy at the restaurant). It is so dry and tasteless. So disappointed read more

Great establishment, they are social distancing. Very good food and great margaritas.

Teak was wonderful. The sushi was good, and the salmon dish with sauce was delicious, too. The service was great. I wish I had Teak OTR where I live. read more

For Valentine's Day weekend, I surprised my husband and we went to Cincinnati, OH. We're from Indiana. With Covid still going on, the people were very kind and very attentive at Teak. Walking in, we were warmly greeted and seated very quickly. The waitress was very nice and talked to us. After we informed her we weren't from there she welcomed us to Cincinnati and asked us if we had any questions. We got the lettuce wraps for starters. I then got a curry and my husband got a dish. Everything was delicious! Thanks for making our last meal in Cinci a great one! read more

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. It is quickly becoming a special Dad Daughter place in Ohio for us. Last time I had the Panang Curry, which was amazing. This time I tried the Teak Trio and it was excellent. The staff are caring and attentive. We love Teak OTR. Can't wait for next visit. read more

Three of us had a 6 pm dinner here before a concert at Music Hall. We had reservations but we did not comment to our servers on how much time we had for dinner. We shared a huge bowl of mussels and a plate of 8 pieces of sashimi, as appetizers. The muscles were spiced with basil and fresh ginger. The sashimi had spiral daikon radish and cucumber served with the fish. All of the mains were served on long, narrow ceramic plates, that looked as much like a tray as a plate, with the food nicely arranged. The portions were large. One of us had Crispy duck which was served with an assortment of vegetables and had sauce in a pitcher. One had Crispy pork belly served with mixed Asian vegetables, and garnished with kimchee and anise glaze. Both of these came with a large bowl of pain, white rice. The third had seared Scottish salmon with Thai black soy glaze which was served with ginger coconut rice and mixed vegetables. This diner also had the seaweed salad, which he liked. The food was excellent and so generous in portions that there was more than we could eat. The restaurant was full by the time we got our drinks but service was quick and attentive so we had no trouble getting to our 7:30 concert. This was our first time here but we want to go back! read more

This used to be a good restaurant. My recent and final visit was dismal. Ordered a salmon plate called Jungle Fish(?). Yuck. My Manhattan was so watery I ordered a strait shot to bolster it. But here's the kicker. We paid the check and were finishing drinks and a bus boy asked us to vacate our table, (because there was a line), and finish our drinks at the bar, where there was no room. We did not oblige. As for ambiance's, not bad This is a great building and location for a restaurant. But not Teak OTR. RUN THE OTHER WAY! read more

Food was great as always! My only complaint is that the lettuce wraps were a bit wilted (the reason for -1 star) Our server, Kasunpa was GREAT. Right when we walked in, she greeted us and asked if we had reservations (and she isn't even the host!) It was busy tonight, due to the FC Cincinnati game but she was on top of everything!! So fast, and so warm and welcoming. read more

the food was awful, we ordered two different dishes, but they looked and tasted exactly the same except that one had sea food and the other one had chicken. All ingredients were precooked, including the chicken, which tasted like rubber with no taste. the service and the ambiance are ok. I will not recommend this place And will not go back. read more

This is the best sushi downtown in my opinion! I love to sit at the bar, as the service is very friendly and great! I've also had drinks and Pad Thai, which were good, but the sushi is the highlight for sure! read more

Owner and General Manager Chanaka Delanerolle previously owned Teak in Mt Adams, along with Fish House, The Celestial, and Longworths. Over time , during approximately 2014-2017, the beautifully nestled, once popular quaint hillside community was left without restaurants to enjoy. All four were shut down due to non payment of taxes by Chanaka. According to neighborhood patrons, there were also issues with health code violations. Health codes were created to protect the public from the spread of foodborne illnesses. These rules are enforced by restaurant health inspections. Restaurants are fined for not adhering to the health code, and can even be shut down if they make egregious mistakes. Granted, that was in the past. I was looking forward to trying the new location because the restaurant itself, bar, and big windows are beautiful. When my pad Thai was served with lack of flavor at his new location, it took me by surprise. I also ordered the hot and sour shrimp soup. However, it had no shrimp. Not one piece of shrimp. It was rung in incorrectly or was served incorrectly. When I ordered the pad Thai with spice level of 5 of 10, it was served as 0 of 10. No flavor. Chanaka confronted me and said that it is how we serve it. read more

We really like this place! Jungle noodles were awesome. Menu has large selection that we'll try on other visits. Close to the theatre and other attractions. read more

I never, I mean never post reviews about restaurants. I understand places are struggling to find and keep good help under the pressure of covid, but what occurred last night was just not right. We came to celebrate my son's 24th birthday. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. First of all the place is crammed with tables, we could barely get in our seats. Not a good sign during these times. Our server greeted us and took our drink order which took her 3 times to confirm, it was 2 vodka cranberries and a water, hmm. We waited and waited and waited. In meantime she took our appetizer order, again she kept having to confirm the order. She literally scratched her head in confusion as she walked away. She then returns with 2 drinks that are not cranberry and vodkas and again looks confused like we were mistaken. We reminded her of our order and she walked away and wondered around looking for whomever ordered these drinks. She actually came back to us again but realized nope still not us. She finally put those down and brings our watered down drinks. At this point we get our appetizers along with someone else's. We're starting to feel like we're being punked. Where's the cameras? As we're eating, my husband comes in and orders a drink which takes forever, gets lost and she tells him someone took it and she's making another one on the house. Um what is going on? At this point we've decided we're going somewhere else. As our table is being cleared our waitress comes by and says our appetizers will be out shortly! Huh, we told her we just ate our appetizers! The food was marginal at best, the drinks were watered down and the service was the THE WORST SERVICE I've endured. We ended up going home to eat leftovers because we were starving and didn't want to wait for an hour to get in anywhere else. That's how bad Teak OTR is. read more

Teak OTR - Monkey Brains. Deep fried avocado with tuna and cream cheese. Unbelievably good! And the restaurant is great, with fantastic service!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Yikes. It wasn't great. And honestly I was SO excited I'd been wanting to go for awhile... but the food was really subpar and it took forever (literally 30+ m) to get to us. I got a few basic sushi rolls and pad Thai and the sushi had absolutely no flavor and the tofu pad Thai was completely over cooked. My sister got flat noodles and it arrived with a plate full of vegetables with literally 3 noodles. It was just really disappointing. I told our waitress but she really couldn't do much. I just feel like if you really want good Thai this is so not the place. read more

Pad Thai is flavorless and the noodles were very overcooked and mushy. I had some other items in the past so I just knew this was going to be good. I couldn't have been more wrong. I will never order this again! I really wanted my money back but, I would spend more in gas than I did the food. read more

I was excited to go to Teak this evening with my daughter. This was my first time there since their move from Mt Adams. What a disappointment! We both ordered pad Thai with tofu - mine was a level 2 and my daughter's a number 4. I ordered a coke but they were out and went with a sprite. When we got our food, it looked good but I thought there was a lot of tofu on the plate. The tofu was so hard and dry - it was just not good. My pad Thai was so sweet that I couldn't eat it. My daughter ate her noodles but felt the same about the tofu. We were asked if we wanted boxes but I said no and told her why. The server smiled and that was it. I paid and left. I seriously doubt that I will be back. read more

Absolutely delicious food, great drinks, and great service. They are accommodating to all parties and it was a great date night!

Just okay. Got a variety of (mostly vegetarian) dishes and shared with some friends. We got some curries, one of the fried rice dishes, and the spring rolls. Tofu was pretty rubbery, so I'd avoid that. Everything else was fine flavor wise, but nothing really stood out or blew us away. Vegetables were cooked well--not overdone. read more

Perfect place to get both sushi and Thai food! I had the sushi & sashimi dinner that came plated beautiful. Fish was very fresh and our service was great. The atmosphere is cozy, but it does get quiet loud. The unique martinis they had were great as well! Nothing too sweet. The couple we were with ordered Thai food & the portions were very large for the price of each dish. Looking forward to going back! read more

I'll start of with saying at first Teak OTR was the best Asian food I've found in the city, but seems they have progressively became not so good. I'm not sure if they've just got so popular and busy that they've stop ensuring the quality of their food or if they have new cooks, but they have been missing the mark lately to the point I think it's time for a break for me from ordering from there. read more

We were wandering around looking for brunch but gave up when we saw this place. We were hungry and brunch wasn't going to happen. This has been a very happy discovery. I had the Ginger salmon and my husband had the Jungle fish. Both were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. The flavors were not over powered by heat. Definitely coming back. read more

Good service and great ambience . Location is awesome because you can stuff yourself and then go for little walk. Food was ok though but it could be we went on Mother's Day and on special days the chefs could be overloaded so I think I will give it 1 more shot. Basil Thai at Cornell remains my #1 option so far read more
