Teak Sushi & Thai Loveland

"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."

"Great! Our server was delightful and our food came fast and presented really well. I love presentation. The feel of the restaurant is very comfortable but like a moderate upscale vibe. Food was amazing. Thank you for serving me and my Girlfriend !"

"Food was amazing! I was just there on 11/26/23 I got the spicy California roll and it was so fresh. I also got the pad Thai and flavors were great and the portion was huge! Really enjoyed the atmosphere as well! I really hope this place sticks around! I can’t wait to try the other menu items they offer, soooo many good choices!"

"Exceptional service from John Mitchell (Hoping I got it right it was at 6:00 PM on 10/10/23 hopefully the owner knows who I'm speaking on) provided friendly, professional and quick service. He provided great explanations of the spice level as my fiancé and I prefer lower end on the spice scale. I had the Yellow Curry which was PERFECT and my fiancé had the Thai Sweet and Sour Stir Fry. Excited to have left overs for the next two days. Looking forward to bringing back family and friends. The place was clean, everyone was smiling, the food came out quick and had TONS of flavor. See you soon, Teak!"

"Great experience for our first visit. We stopped in for a late lunch on Sunday. The dragon balls appetizer was my favorite! We tried the bengal (or who-day, can’t remember the name) and the Sunday morning roll. I loved the salad that was served with one of the rolls. We were seated quickly, the server was attentive and all the food was delicious."
