For my bff’s 26th birthday, a group of us went down for some dinner at Teak Thai in Mt. Adams. Mt. Adams is like the college/young adult/cool place to go in Cincinnati. I really like the area whenever I am down there (both day and night). It’s up on a big hill in Cincinnati, so fairly close to whatever’s going on downtown. It’s also a mishmash of residential condos/apartments/homes and small businesses with a bunch of restaurants and bars – yes, the bars are what really makes Mt. Adams. The only one I’ve gone into down there is The Blind Lemon, which I love! And I only ever get a virgin something or other, usually a piña colada, or when I’m really adventurous – a coffee. Yep. I know, I know. I’m one wild child. They also have some fun live music each night.
But this is not a review on The Blind Lemon, or Mt Adams, no matter how fabulous I think they are! This review is on Teak -yummy, spicy, lovely Teak. Despite much discussion and debate, this WAS my first time at Teak. I enjoy Thai food, although it isn’t my favorite East Asian cuisine. I believe I only got one picture of my food, but I’ll go right into it.
Matt and Lanna (birthday girl!) of BeardedLadyPics, got an appetizer of Gyoza, er, Dumplings, which were delicious. As were the crab puffs (rangoon) that Amy got. My lovely dish to your right is Yellow Pork Curry, with a spicy level of 4. The levels here are 3-10 (I know, I was a chicken that night) and I have no idea what happened to 1 and 2. I feel kind of sad for them.
My food was very good. The rice came with the meal and they even gave me chop sticks to eat with, so I was happy.
The food: excellent (all around, people said they loved their food)
The help: Our waitress had an accent, but she was very understandable, if that’s a turn-off for you. She was very helpful and remembered what we ordered even if we didn’t.
The parking: They have a parking lot across the street and down the hill a little. There isn’t a ton of parking that I could see, so we parked on the street as usual. You may have to drive up and down the hill a couple of times to find a spot if you’re not into parking garages (which there is one nearby).
The accommodations: Lots of tables inside. There are two stories and I think the downstairs is more of a bar area. There’s also outdoor seating which is open during the warm seasons.
The price: Average. I think my meal (and water) came to about $15 with tip. I can’t eat sushi, so I can’t account for the cost there. Sorry.
Returnability: Again, Thai’s not my favorite East Asian food, but if I’m basing it just on service, comfort, cost and quality, I would give it an 80% rate. (It’s also a bit of a drive for me (~ 30 minutes) so that’s a factor as well.)
