I saw some mixed reviews for Teak before we went, and after reading through quite a few of them, my best guess was that most of the complaints were tied to a nightclub-type vibe on a possible rooftop bar rather than the restaurant itself. We showed up hoping to snag bar seats, but it was busy and honestly a little warm for my liking. I know, I know, after the winter we've had, I have absolutely no right to complain. Either way, we ended up in an outside room with all the windows open to the patio and it was genuinely perfect. Our server Julie was fantastic. Attentive in all the right ways, including the kind of attentive where she noticed us glancing around and came over to check on us. We weren't actually looking for anything; we were just scoping out the space. Still, I appreciated the hustle. My partner ordered a gin martini, extra dirty; I went with a prosecco. Both came out cold and fast. We ordered edamame, lotus buns, the pear and crispy goat cheese salad, and the aburi roll. The edamame were solid. Nice pop of lime, though I could have used a heavier hand with the salt. The lotus buns were a revelation. Two pillowy bao buns, each stuffed with a generous slab of slow roasted pork belly glazed in hoisin, with a pickled cucumber tucked in alongside it. I'd never had anything quite like them, and the balance was what got me: the brine and snap of the pickle cutting right through the sweetness of that glaze. Really well thought out. The aburi roll was tasty; nothing jumped out as the star moment, but everything played nicely together and it went down easy. And then there was the salad. Oh, the salad. I could eat that salad every single day of the week. Crispy fried goat cheese medallions on a salad is basically a guaranteed order for me, so that's what reeled me in initially. But once I actually started eating it, I forgot all about the goat cheese. Mixed greens, thin pear slices, halved grapes, spiced pecan halves, all dressed in a honey mustard vinaigrette that was genuinely outstanding. I've already started thinking about how to recreate it at home, which is the highest compliment I can give a salad. Teak delivered across the board. Don't let the rooftop reviews scare you off from the restaurant itself. read more

TEAK Restaurant & Bar presents its customers with a few surprises in Red Bank, NJ: fresh, high-quality seafood and a high-energy bar area upstairs featuring dancing on Thursdays through Saturdays. THE FOOD * Chef's Sashimi Bowl: Bright and tasty with slices of tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. It came professionally plated with vegetable garnishes and a few dried sweet potato and garlic chips for texture. * Oysters & Caviar: The ice-cold oysters topped with black caviar were incredibly fresh. The yuzu/ponzu sauce and sliced green onions added great flavor. Served at the perfect temperature. * Kale Caesar Salad: The surprise here was the spicy breadcrumbs, which made the dish when their spice and crunch came in alongside the creamy dressing and kale. * Tip: I would order the dressing on the side next time, and avoid pairing this with the French Onion Soup Dumplings (too many creamy/heavy components for one meal). * French Onion Dumplings: An okay dish with nice gooey cheese, but a fairly flat overall flavor profile. * Roasted Salmon: Served with a tasty, crisp crust, but it was a bit dry on the inside. It came with nice stir-fried vegetables and slightly underdone coconut rice. THE WINE * A nice selection of wines by the glass. We tried a spread of Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, and Pinot Noir. THE SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE * Special thanks to Rigo (the sushi chef). He served up amazing sashimi and clearly draws on his 20+ years of experience at TEAK. He was incredibly personable, clearly enjoys his craft, and his presentation was excellent! * Thank you to Olivia, a new bartender upstairs, for her attentive and professional service! Wishing you the best in picking up those great line dance routines. IMPORTANT LOGISTICS Ordering: Note that you must order all your dishes at one time. OVERALL A memorable Asian fusion restaurant with an extensive upstairs dance floor and a bar on each level. Great for a casual date night or a lively evening out on the town. read more

Our waitress was MIA most of the time we were there. This made a simple request for ice nearly impossible. The place was not as busy as we're used to seeing on a Saturday night so that was weird. My husband and I still had a great dinner. The food is always amazing. We had a great time overall and thanks to the other staff, we were able to get service eventually. The place itself is a great date night spot - cozy & warm. We entertained the idea of going upstairs for the Nightlife portion of the night but the crowd was really young. It seems like the perfect place to go if you're in your 20's so we passed. We'd love to find a place where the crowd is 35+. Any suggestions are welcome. read more

As we celebrated the closing of summer and headed toward fall, we wanted to go somewhere that had rooftop seating and small hot plates so we could taste everything. Since we were in Red Bank, we decided on Teak Restaurant, and I'm so glad we did. The entrance features a majestic sitting Buddha, and the interior is lively with music playing and drinks flowing at the bar. As we headed up the staircase, it led us to the rooftop, where you'll find another ginormous bar and tables both inside and leading to the outside, where you can dine or simply have some drinks. We ordered edamame dumplings, pork potstickers, michi, lotus buns, crispy rock shrimp, Korean BBQ tacos, fried oysters, and short rib empanadas, paired with a berry aperitivo spritz mocktail for me. My husband had a root beer old-fashioned and an IPA. My personal favorites were the edamame dumplings, fried oysters, lotus buns, and their berry spritz mocktail. My husband's favorites included edamame dumplings, Korean BBQ tacos, short rib empanadas, and the lotus buns. The service was on point as they constantly checked on us to see if we needed anything else or to refill our drinks. The music consistently had great songs playing, and thankfully, it was at a volume where I could have a conversation with my spouse. A wonderful experience all around. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. The restaurant was welcoming and clean. Service was attentive and knowledgeable.

A pleasant meal in downtown Red Bank The restaurant is surprisingly large and the seating is comfortable. The food is good. Fresh ingredients and good flavors. We had a variety of small plates. Nothing stood out as memorable but no plate was disappointing. The cocktails paired well either the food. The service was attentive. read more

'Fusion' food is a term that normally is something I avoid-I'm a bit of a purist in that regard. As a guest at Teak last night I'll concede I need to be a bit flexible. Our party of six had a great meal on a dreary, rain drenched night. Terrific service, tasty food, well timed delivery, fairly priced. The only 'iffy' fusion choice were the French onion soup dumplings, don't understand those at all. We'll go back, read more

This past weekend I hosted my daughter's 16th birthday party at Teak and I was more than impressed with the whole experience. To start after sending an online request for the group I received a call from Yessika the event coordinator with all of the details.; I was impressed that i got an actual call., actually the other places I contacted only emailed me back. Teak is where my daughter chose among other places and I was happy because I felt like their group dining prices were pretty fair. The day of the party all of the guests got to choose their main entree from four choices ., very nice.. all of the girls really enjoyed the dinner so much and I personally loved everything I had ., I sat at a close by table and also ordered sushi and oysters , so good! I would love to shout out the amazing server we had because she was super nice and accommodating, and patient ! I'm horrible with names ., but thank you so much for everything! read more

The food here was delicious and the service was extremely prompt despite the restaurant being packed. We got a bunch of things to share and everything was great. Really loved the crab Rangoon and crispy pear salad. It was also very cute and spacious and clean inside! read more

I recently visited Teak with a friend for their Thursday happy hour on the rooftop. Unfortunately, it was a bit rainy that day, so no one was on the outside part of the rooftop. The upstairs bar was packed! However, we found some seats. I ended up ordering the Cherry Smash as my drink and got the crab croquettes and cheesesteak bar buns. Both were delicious, especially the crab croquettes. I was still a bit hungry, so I ordered the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. My friend and I split it. We enjoyed it as well. I love Asian food, so Teak was definitely up my alley. This restaurant has been around for quite a while and this was my first time checking it out. I'll definitely return, whether that be for happy hour or dinner. read more

I liked the sushi but it was a bit spicy for my taste. They were out of one of the dishes we really wanted to get so that was a bit of a bummer.

We were seated promptly and started with a hefty pile of edamame. My roasted salmon was excellent and the accompanying quinoa with apples, butternut squash puree and pomegranate molasses were delicious. My wife's crab and vegetable egg rolls, however, unexpectedly had bell peppers, her personal anathema. Graciously, our server offered to take it back and bring her something else. He even helped her select a custom sushi roll. The room was relatively quiet though dimly lit .We will be back! read more

Service was good and relatively prompt, especially with providing a bottle of water. I was happily surprised with the number of creative Asian fusion dishes and really wanted to try a variety! We started off with the Edamame dumplings, which had a nice light sauce and was actually good although I would have preferred the pork dumplings, but my guest wanted to try it. Next, we moved on to the lobster and crab ceviche, which was just right and not too tangy. Just wish they had slightly more than a hint of cilantro, but nonetheless, there was ample portions of seafood and a bed of lettuce. We also had a couple of sushi rolls and definitely would recommend the sunshine roll. Good balance of fish to rice ratio. Finally, I originally thought that they had made a mistake since my seafood Ramen came as a noodle dish with no broth. I was wondering why the menu description explained that it came with the Tom Yum sauce, which I had asked to put on the side, but they instead made it a lighter portion which I appreciated. It actually had the texture of a pad Thai dish instead, which was also very good and came with large portions of shrimp and other seafood. I would have preferred a little bit more variety in the seafood, but it was a very tasty dish nonetheless. Definitely would recommend it and will be coming back again! read more

We came to teak to have some drinks because it was recommended by a friend. So I can't comment on the food but the drinks are very highly priced. we had 4 drinks and it was $65. That to me is NYC prices. Yes, the spicy margarita was a great drink but def not worth the $16. The bartenders were very nice. The place was very nice and lively so if you are okay with that price and want something more trendy I do recommend going here. read more

So disappointing. Been here several times and this time was my last. Food is still good but the staff was not attentive. Had to wait for drinks, water refills. Was rushed throughout the whole dinner. Tables were being moved during dessert. What a disappointment. read more

The French onion soup dumplings caught my eye and at that moment I knew I had to try this place out. They definitely had the flavor of French onion but was not a tradition soup dumpling I thought it would be. More a wonton with the flavors of French onion soup. Overall, the food and drinks here were yummy. My drink, the guava punch, had a nice subtle heat to it. The poke bowl was huge and came with substantial amount of fish. My friend got the pineapple fried rice and that too had a big portion. A note about the restaurant is happy hour is only at the bar and reservations are recommended if you go later at night. read more

This was my first time back to Teak since pre pandemic, since I moved out of NJ. Teak used to be my absolute favorite spot in Redbank, especially on Monday half priced sushi night. The moody ambiance is a vibe, and they have happy hour deals! The signature rolls have always been fantastic. This time around, my forbidden black and sunshine rolls were delicious (as expected). My friend ordered the pork lotus buns (which she loved) & the Redbank roll. The redbank roll was foul - something was definitely off in the sushi (I tried a piece myself). She didn't send the roll back, but when someone doesn't ask for a to go box for an almost whole $18 sushi roll something is wrong. read more

Terrible staff. The bouncers inside are nice and respectful to customers, however the staff outside are absolutely awful. They make you never want to come back.

Happy to have shared this roof top food gem with family & friends. Great Service. Bomb Food. Worth Your Money!!

I went to Teak expecting to order sushi like everyone else in my party, but decided to order the Teak Pad Thai instead. It was so good that I described it to my husband as "mind-blowing"! It was the best Pad Thai I've ever had, by far. I would eat it every day if I could. The others in my party loved their sushi, but I think I had the best meal. We ate outside on a warm June night, and it was a thoroughly lovely meal. I look forward to returning. read more

This place is cool and the food was great. The hostess was super kind and friendly. While the food was good, our service at the table was a little questionable. He acknowledged we needed utensils and app plates. We got our apps and we still didn't have plates and utensils. I finally after we were eating our apps from the main app plate, I had to get up and ask one of the managers that was walking by for them. They forgot to give us our drinks as well. Our server was distracted at the end of the bar just hanging out, while we were waiting. We ordered our drink before we got our meals, 3 rolls and Drunken Man Noodles. They finally gave our drinks but we were done with our meals already (which we paid for) so that was disappointing. The sushi was good though. read more

I was in the area for a YELP event and I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before I headed home. TEAK was recommended by a coworker so I decided to go sit at the bar and try them out. Apparently they have Happy Hour at the upstairs bar. I opt out since I wasn't drinking for the month of January so I just sat downstairs. I ordered the Pineapple Fried rice w/chicken and it was delicious. There's plenty other dishes on the menu that I would love to try so yes I will be returning in the future. Next time I think I may even go upstairs for Happy Hour. The restaurant was definitely giving me date night vibes so I can't wait to go back with babe. Service was great I was pleased on how fast my food came out. read more

Service was pretty good and fast upon our arrival, even without reservation. They found us a table pretty quick. Ambience was very adult and good, loud but not excessive. Beautiful people all around.

4.5 stars for the food (korean BBQ tacos and salmon entree). The restaurant itself is big and nicely decorated. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Our table tried the edamame (sprinkled with lime juice), korean BBQ tacos, spring rolls (very light and crispy), spicy kani salad and the double agent roll as starters. Everyone loved each and would definitely get them again. For entrees we ordered the chilean seabass, lo mein, short rib and salmon. Again everyone really enjoyed each dish. I had the salmon and loved it. It was such an incredible dish as everything on the plate was delicious and went well together. The salmon was cooked perfectly (crispy skin on the bottom) and served with an herb sauce over corn puree (not sweet which I appreciated), grilled vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and topped with arugula. My only extremely minor complaint is that the arugula was a bit too salty but honestly it did not detract at all from how much I enjoyed the dish. The portions were great and I think the prices are fair for the serving and quality. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and specifically the salmon! read more

I love Teak!! Beautiful, classy restaurant in the heart of downtown red Bank! Great atmosphere, vibe, bar, food and service! I'm not sure where to start but this restaurant is gorgeous inside! And they have a beautiful outdoor garden as well where you can eat. It's two stories you step inside on the ground floor and it's just simply huge inside! Extremely beautifully decorated! Upstairs is lots of fun too they have an incredibly gorgeous bar upstairs and more dinner tables! I like sitting upstairs near the bar but probably most people would rather sit downstairs. You can't lose here, the food is incredible! And they have a great selection of beers and wine. I highly recommend the pork dumpling appetizer it was delicious and just what you would hope for from this type of restaurant. We decided to order sushi that evening and it was a great idea! Delicious in every way, very fresh snd generous portions. It's also got lots of younger patrons snd it's located right across the street from Red Tank Brewing. So you can even grab some beers before coming over. A perfect night out!! Highly recommended for a fun, satisfying Red Bank experience! read more
