In terms of taste, Teak Thai House was very disappointing despite the excitement of seeing & speaking w/ Thai's, which does not guarentee quality Thai tasing food. It all really depends on ownership. We ordered steamed muscles w/ nam jim (a lime, chili sauce) which was delicious & tasted Thai. (This dish is easy if U get the sauce correct.) It was more than a $1 per muscle which was expesive for such a simple dish. Next was the stir fried pork & gren beans. The taste was correct but at $15 bucks- OUTRAGEOUS! Better to go to Thai Express, as this is a simple Thai street food dish. Next up, drum roll please... Pla Neung Manow (Wallyeye fish in spciy sour soup). We were excited to see this basic but classic Thai dish. Had not seen it anywhere else in Cincinnati yet. This entre is supposed to be spicy and sour, never sweet! It was a bit sweet. The broth which appeaed to have most of the ingredents tasted canned, not fresh. (Meaning we could taste metal.) This dish is supposed to be a WHOLE FISH resting in a long soup dish, perched above flame. THERE WAS ONLY HALF A FISH! That's right. They cut the fish down the middle & served only one side! Never is this entree served like that. And at $35 bucks- a total rip off of the customer. WE were shocked. Not very good and shorted on the meal. Total BS & Crapy taste! They also mixed the fresh cut chilies with oil, instead of vinegar, lime or fish sauce. That is European, not Thai. We suspect the good reviews you have read are from people who do not have experience eating real Thai food. If you are interested, try Green Papapya in Hyde Park for a more authentic meal. More reviews in the works.\r
