Teakwood Thai Chophouse is a Thai restaurant in the TriBeCa 'hood, taking over the space that was once was Viet Cafe.
They offer a pretty extensive menu, including lunch, dinner, and drink options.
We stopped by for an early dinner, ordering the following starters to share within our group:
+Crabmeat Spring Roll - aka, Popia Pu Tod; filled with corn, glass noodles, cilantro, and carrots in a wrapper, served with chili plum sauce
+Grilled Chicken Satay Steamed Buns - aka, Gai Satay Mun Toa; filled with turmeric-marinated chicken and served with a peanut curry sauce and cucumber relish
+and, the Beef Cheek Steamed Buns - aka, Mun Toa Kam Wua; filled with slow-cooked beef cheeks, and served with cucumbers and a Sriracha chili sauce
For our mains, we tried:
+Shrimp & Crabmeat Fried Rice - prepared with jasmine rice, egg, broccoli, scallions, onions, soy sauce, and chili fish sauce
+Pad Thai with Shrimp - prepared with thin rice noodles, egg, bean sprouts, tofu croutons, garlic chives, peanuts, and a tamarind palm sugar sauce
+the Pad See Ew with Beef - prepared with flat rice noodles, egg, collard greens, broccoli, and yellow bean soy sauce
+Yellow Curry with Shrimp - aka, Kang Karee; with fingerling potatoes, cippolini onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and a turmeric coconut milk curry broth
+and, the Pan Roasted Filet Halibut - aka, Kang Kha Kati Pla; with crabmeat, galangal, and a coconut and curry sauce; this came with a choice of a side dish, so went for one of their specials, the Coconut Milk Baked Potato Gratin, prepared with potatoes, scallions, and coconut milk
We ordered each of the desserts for our group - the Black Sesame-Sea Salt Panna Cotta, the Coconut Milk Mousse Mango Parfait with Basil Seeds and Graham Crackers, the Roasted Pineapple Clafoutis, and the Gelato with Thai Fruit Jam.
You can request the spice level, in which we stuck to the 'medium spicy' range.
Our friends indulged in some of their beverages, in which they enjoyed.
Staff are friendly and attentive, and checked upon us throughout our dining experience; the space is super cute and modern with comfortable seating arrangements.
Note that an automatic gratuity is added to your bill if you have a party of 6 or more.
A nice place for a group get-together, as the staff handled our party well.
