I don't know how this place even has three stars or remains in business. First, I agree with another reviewer that the rolls seem premixed/prepared prior to the ordering. It's not made to order and, while I understand that a lot of people like spicy mayo, it's also a way to cover up not-so-fresh sushi. We each also ordered the $12 fruity sake cocktail which was WAY TOO SWEET. If I wanted to eat liquid candy, I'll just chug some sunny D. We went on a Tuesday and found out there was a rolls special. DO NOT GET THAT – unless you've starved for a week, you're really paying $20 or so for 2 rolls. Which is fine.. but it's a gimmick. You don't really want to order more than 2 rolls, or do you? It's a HELL LOT OF RICE. The rice to soosh ratio was RIDICULOUS. I'm half jap so I don't expect much from fusion places like these, but seriously? THAT IS A RIP OFF. It was a roll of rice with bits of fish to top off, making it somewhat presentable. But .. you might as well spare a couple bucks more and get rolls from the regular menu – because, I'm sure that has to have a better rice-soosh ratio. The decor/ambiance is fine, but I found the people there a bit pretentious. The one positive thing? hm… let's see. The bar area is cool, as it faces a giant wall aquarium. This place is SERIOUSLY OVERPRICED. For garbage food, I'd rather not eat, not pay, and PEACE. Ugh. #thanksbutnothanks
Oh, and on a Tuesday, of course I didn't think I needed reservations.. but the seats that were offered by the hostess were ridic. She offered two tables near her and near the door. WHAT? IT IS FREEZING OUTSIDE AND YOUR RESTAURANT IS HALF (if that) EMPTY. So we opted for the high top when she offered that in response to my wrinkled nose.
Service was spotty – I had to wave down the waiter a couple times. Shouldn't be happening when the place was pretty empty. I'd come here for some drinks if I'm dying of thirst when getting off the PATH, but NEVER will I eat here again.
Have dined at Teak and have also gone for drinks. Drinks are OK but food is always good. Nice portions, sushi is always fresh and tasty. Nice decor and crowd.
A must try if and when you are in the area. If you are seeking a quiet dinner, stay away weekend evenings. The dining areas are converted into dance floors.
Love this place. Here are the highlights from my last visit:
Great sushi
Good food
Good talent at the bar
Friendly service
Convenient location
Good for holiday party
This review is for the club/lounge only since we did not eat here and only came to hang out for a birthday party.
Be ready to wait outside, the bouncer makes people wait to attract more people to come despite the place not being busy. They charge a cover, luckily we said we were with a party and let us right in.
There are two floors for your dancing pleasure. Music ranges from pop, dance, and rap.
Drink range around $12 each for a 6 oz glass. There is a $40 minimum for credit cards so be ready to spend tonight and Gets crowded around one am!
Free parking on street after 9 pm- good luck with that one.
I've had two experiences here, one nightlife and one dining. Both were meh…
Nightclub:
If you're looking to go out and get SUPER RATCHET, this is the place for you. Teak turns its lights out at night to become a nightclub/lounge type of venue, and it gets prettttyy trashy. Drinks sloshing everywhere, gogo dancers on makeshift platforms, people pushing and shoving or makin' out – that kind of ratchet. I definitely did not have enough drinks in me to handle this environment. A couple of notes: drinks aren't cheap, and I know of some serious issues people have had with the bouncers here…
Restaurant:
We found out that they have a deal on Tuesdays for $20 all you can eat sushi, which we were excited about. Kind of disappointing though. I can be kind of picky with my sushi – the rice has to be the right texture, the proportion of rice to fish (and other ingredients) has to be correct, the rolls have to be prepared properly, etc. The sushi here did its just in satisfying a craving, but it was really nothing special. There are better sushi places in Hoboken, but you get what you pay for, amirite? Not terrible for the price. I'd say, if you're looking for quality, go elsewhere, but if you're just looking to get a good deal and satisfy a craving, come here.
Teak is one of a kind! So hard to find a place in the NYC area that's fancy, had beautiful decor, great drinks, and great prices! It's very classy and elegant with drapes, chandeliers, fish tanks, and beautiful welcoming string lights outside.
I love their sushi and drink specials throughout the week. AYCE sushi on tuesdays & 1/2 off sushi & drinks monday & thursday. The sushi here is pretty good and they have all the sushi you can think of and awesome special rolls also. My favorite rolls are the Teak Sunrise roll & Pink Cheetah roll. Also their seaweed salad is great.
I love how it's also across from the PATH & NJ Transit so you can get a quick bite while you're waiting for the train or don't feel like walking far in Hoboken with friends after you get off the train. That's how I first discovered Teak, i constantly passed it and it never really interested me to go until now.
There's also a club upstairs, I've never gone but the loud music makes it hard to talk over. I've heard the club is good, gets very crowded sometimes.
This is the perfect example of how most "asian fusion" places just don't cut it. But I guess that's what you get for expecting good food from a place that turns into a club on the wknds.
I went to a birthday dinner here last night. Happy hour is till 7pm and most foodz were half off. The bartender was helpful and her drinks were good but a lil weak. I loved the Tokyo Sundown. She recommended the sweet & spicy wings which was prob the best dish of the night.
Sushi is whatever but its cheap. pad thai was doused in fish sauce with mushy noodles, and the lobster mac was bland with maybe 3 lil slivers of lobster. Chicken lettuce wraps & lobster avocado spring rolls were good. Biggest disappointment was my duck. It was undercooked & the plum sauce was way too sweet. Wasabi mash was weird & confusing. My friend loved her duck so maybe I just got unlucky.
I wouldn't come here for an actual meal. Come for the swanky interior & happy hour!
Food was great! I came here for a Valentines Day brunch, we wanted to beat the rush of the 4pm pre fixed rush so we decided to come around 1:30pm. Pretty relaxed around this time. Again, the food was great!
Our waiter was a bit slow and it seemed like he was the only person in charge of all the guest during this time as well. So, he wasn't that attentive to our needs as we would've liked him to be. Other than that this place is good for a cute little date.
