Teak House — Restaurant in Normandy Park

My family and I had a very strange experience. We will never go back there again. I apologize for such a long review. I hope you never need to experience what we went through.

We’ve been eating at Teak House for 5 years and really liked the food and service. It’s been 5 month since we last ate there. It used to be almost impossible to show up on a Friday at 6:30 pm and get a table. We walked into a completely empty restaurant. The food has always been better than most Thai restaurants, and slightly more expensive too. 4 out of 5 dishes tasted bad beyond repair. The tom kha and crispy garlic chicken were very sour, almost inedible. The Panang and Phad Thai were completely bland. The only normal dish was deep fried shrimp. The soup lacked its main ingredients and signature flavor - galnga, lemongrass, lime leaves, and coconut milk/cream and was watery. It was chuck full of white button mushroom. The phad thai barely had anything but noodles and tasted like mild ketchup. We decided to say something since most of the food was not appetizing at all. The server, a warm elderly woman, insisted on fixing the dishes. One “fixed” dish after another was bad. It tasted like the chef dumped a bunch of sugar into some dishes and salt into the others, making things worse, not better. We asked for a box for the shrimp and left the rest, feeling bad about so much food going to waste. The server wanted close to full price (over $100) and balked at our dismay. A man, who seemed like he might be the owner, approached us and wanted to argue about the taste of the food. By that time there were a few more people in the restaurant and it felt like he was trying to shame us. What a dumpster fire. We settled the bill and will...

If you have other options or are on the fence, I'd say avoid. I've been going for a little over a year now. I don't know what's been going on but the quality has dropped.

The last 3 times in a row my order has come with semi-large mistakes. First time it was missing food, which, ok, that happens. Second time the spice levels on all the dishes were way off. I order for an office so all of the meals had different levels, but when I got them they were all 4 star. We had to return and reorder because food that hot just isn't an option for some.

Then most recent time was today. I ordered a large side of rice to split (Along with 3 entree's) because the meals don't come with it (also be aware that most dishes don't naturally come with rice). The rice was dropped from the order because as I was told "Well, you ordered lunch portions, and one of those comes with rice so I didn't think you needed it".

I order for an office, we're not exactly sharing, let alone even eating together. Another quick aside, one order came as chicken, instead of tofu because I was never asked and I guess they assumed again (be VERY specific when ordering on the phone).

The food is fine, as well as the prices. Nothing stellar or horrible but the experiences have finally driven me away. Maybe sometime down the road I'll try it again but for now, I wouldn't recommend it and I...

I was very disappointed with this place. I was excited to try it because of all the positive reviews. I'll start off by saying that the food is way overpriced even for lunch. I got an order of chicken satay and pad thai and paid $40 before tip. This was a lunch price.

I thought the food was ok but not worth the money. What made the food worse was the fact that I had leftovers and the next day, when I tried reheating the food, it had already gone bad. This tells me that the quality of the food is poor or they served me food that was pushing the limit for the "sell date."

I hate to be that person but if you want good Thai Food, got to See Fah Thai in Renton! I was very impressed eating there before I tried this place.

After trying this place, I sadly will not return because it's overpriced, poor quality, and because the fact it went badly the day after I purchased it! And yes, I did let the food cool completely before putting it away in the fridge. The next day it spoiled. I can't say I've experienced anything like this with any other kind of take out orders in the past. This was a first and a little...
