    Mimosa and Bellini
    Reggie M.

    We came here for a Sunday brunch. Upon check-in, I suggested being seated by the window with a high table since the weather was nice. The brunch menu is simple. The front is the food section, and the back is the drink section. We started with our favorite cocktails. My partner chose a Lychee Bellini, while I went for a Mimosa. The cocktail serving was generous. We then proceeded with our brunch entrees. I selected a crispy chicken sandwich with chili kohlrabi slaw and Sambal sauce served with potato hash, while my partner chose 2 over-easy eggs with chicken sausage. The dishes are freshly made and presented beautifully. Our server was genuinely helpful, checking on us once in a while. We enjoyed our brunch here and will come back here with our friends to try it.

    We made reservations for a party of 14. It's a pretty small location and it was busy this night (sat) but our server did a great job attending to us. He took our orders in 2 groups as to not bombarded the kitchen staff which was fine for us. I ordered the chili garlic noodles with shrimp and the egg rolls. I also ordered their lychee martini. For me, everything was great. The grilled shrimp in the noodle dish had a good char to it. The rolls were spicy and had good flavor. My sister however couldn't eat it because they were too spicy for her. I heard this location was closing. Would have loved to come back if ever in the area again. But there are a couple other locations as well.

    Came here on a Wednesday night in a group of 3 and everything was amazing and gluten free! We sat inside and it was super cutely decorated and they also have some outdoor dining. The servers are super friendly and attentive. I ordered the Barbie to drink and it was super refreshing and not too sweet. To start, we had the crispy tuna rice cake special and it was incredible! We also shared the crispy shrimp and the radish underneath was absolutely delicious as well! The kale salad and spring rolls were also really tasty but the crispy shrimp was my absolute favorite. For the larger dishes we got the peanut street noodles with just vegetables and it was incredible! We also got the green coconut salmon and would definitely get a side of coconut rice as they pair very nicely together! This was not a green curry but more of a green sauce and I thoroughly enjoyed. We ended with the chai cookies and chocolate lava cake. The cookies were a bit grainy and not my favorite but the chocolate cake is an absolute must get! One of the best desserts I have ever had. Would definitely recommend and return!

    Roasted half chicken -- great color, yummy sauce and veggies.

    I wanted to love this place so badly -- amazing reviews and great vibes all around... or so it seemed. Overall, yes I liked my experience, but I didn't love it. The ambiance is wonderful--super low-light, intimate, interesting. It's nice that they have a coat check, but my friend had all her valuables and things in her pockets and had to tell the hostess three times (politely, of course) that she wanted to keep her coat with her, to which the hostess was a bit upset with... I suppose to preserve the aesthetic of the place they want to get rid of coats and things? Or because the tables are close together and it may impact other diners? Unsure. It wasn't a tight fit even with the coat there, but my friend felt a little unnerved by the pushiness of the interaction. Our server was overall kind and helpful, but later seemed a tad disappointed that we weren't going to order more than 2 entrees/larger plates. I understand this is a spot to share plates, but the price points make it a bit hard to do so and eat a good amount without racking up a hefty bill for two people. They usually recommend ordering 2-3 small plates (approx $17-20 each and then 1-2 large plates ($17-29 each). It's not the end of the world price-wise, but I didn't get the chance to try the spring rolls because something in me felt strange paying $17 for them? I would have loved to try more. I ordered the peanut street noodles which were a little underwhelming in my opinion. I'm a big fan of pad thai and our server had mentioned it's their version of one with extra peanut flavor, but I found it somewhat bland and less interesting flavor-wise than a pad thai. They weren't bad by any means, and I enjoyed it all enough to finish the plate, I just wasn't wow-ed, if that makes sense. My friend ordered the roasted half chicken, which was pretty good. The sauce and the sweet potatoes were to die for!! She wasn't blown away, but it was certainly tasty! I was celebrating a belated birthday and noted it in the reservation, but they did not do anything "special" or fun for birthdays, which was kinda meh. But hey, I get that not every place does that. I just think it's a nice gesture. All in all, not a favorite spot for me, but definitely solid. I may return if I'm in the area.

    Food at this popup was amazing we had the fried chicken & pickled vegetables, brussel sprouts, and peanut noodles. Surprisingly the brussel sprout appetizer stole the show! Cocktails were an 11/10, the gin cucumber cocktail was our favorite. Location is understated, as a popup you're dining at tables in what looks like it could be a first floor apartment kitchen, we sat at the bar which was a kitchen counter and also functioned as the bartender's bar. So while ambience was somewhat underwhelming, we thoroughly enjoyed the food & drinks!

    Came here for Winter 2024 Restaurant Week and overall enjoyed the experience! First, it's nice that they have a coat check next to the hostess. Super convenient. I also like that they fit a bar into the space so you could get drinks before eating dinner. It's neat that they offer discounts if you buy more cocktails (ex: buying four of the Tiki Loves Kompany Vol. 2 means you only pay $10 each). The glass that particular cocktail comes in is very fun and on theme. Our table was a bit tight (small) but we made it work. We had a very friendly server (I think named Dylan). From the restaurant week menu, I ordered the Asian Pear and Baby Kale Salad, the Ho Fun noodles with tofu (no surcharge), and the ice cream with caramel and peanuts. The food was pretty good although nothing in particular stood out. I did really love the crispy tofu bites (stole some from someone else who ordered that as an appetizer). They were a bit spicy but soooo tasty. The Ho Fun entree was also a nice portion size. I ended up getting that wrapped up so I could finish it the next day (side note: love the paper bags they give out for leftovers). They also use Toast as the POS terminal for payments which is very convenient, although I will say having the minimum tip % start at 20% is a bit high (but maybe that's just me).

    I came here for restaurant week. I had a reservation at 8 pm on a Friday. My friend was running a little late, so I waited at the bar. This restaurant is smaller than I thought (as all NYC restaurants are). But it's super cute and cozy inside. What we ordered: 2 of the $45 for 3 courses Appetizers: - Crispy tofu bites - it was very bland, the sauce it came with didn't really help. - Japanese eggplant - I loved this!!! Main: - Red curry chicken - I am obsessed with this sauce. The chicken was tender. - Spicy garlic ho fun noodles (we added shrimp because adding a protein was complimentary!) Dessert: - Raspberry sorbet - vanilla ice cream Service was great and food was delicious. I also had no idea that the entire restaurant was gluten free! I have a peanut allergy and they took it very seriously, which was much appreciated.

    $25: Braised Malaysian Style Chicken
    Ashlyn K.

    My friend and I made a reservation for TLK on a Saturday at 6:30. When we arrived, it was still pretty empty, but when we left around 7:45, it got busier. The space is small and nicely decorated and matches the menu's price point. We got the crispy tofu bites ($15), braised Malaysian style chicken ($25), and market fish ($27). All the dishes severely lacked in flavor. To be fair, all the dishes we ordered were not things that are naturally flavorful. However, I personally task any restaurant to transform the ingredients to make them taste better. One thing that the restaurant did really well was cooking the meats. The chicken was especially well done and was extremely moist. The curry that came with both the fish and the chicken was basic. There is nothing wrong with the food, but for the high price point, taste should be more impactful. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with TLK because of the high Google reviews. There are many other places that deliver on flavor in the city, so I do not think I will return here again.

    Chinese broccoli
    Morlene C.

    I don't usually like chalking up a tepid response to a restaurant's food to me ordering the wrong dishes. I think every dish should demonstrate the quality of a restaurant's kitchen, but that is kind of how I feel coming away from my meal at TLK. I understand this started as a pandemic pop-up with a gluten-free menu and has since expanded to include non gluten-free items with a veggie focused menu, but everything tasted like they compromised flavor in pursuit of making the dishes light and clean. I also really felt the effects of inflation here, as I had some sticker shock looking at the bill after a light meal. The crispy szechuan shrimp had just 4 small pieces of shrimp, served on what looked like a decorative salad. The protein appeared dissonant from the greens in a way that made the dish feel like it could be gobbled up in two bites. At entree pricing (this is listed under small plates) I wouldn't value the dish as the price they charged for it. I felt similarly about the crispy and spicy vegetable fried rice and chinese broccoli. Price aside, I wasn't satisfied with the flavors of these dishes, but taking a look at photos of other things they have on their menu, like the banana leaf fish or braised Malaysian style chicken does make me feel like I would have enjoyed their richer dishes more. In this case I would have appreciated an overview of the menu from our server, with some guidance on what to get. In lieu of that, I might've steered myself wrong this meal.

    Tiger fries
    Liz B.

    5/5 service and being an entirely GF location, but super hard to hear anyone you're with. I sat at the bar and my spice tolerance is pretty low so definitely wasn't the place for me! I shared the tiger fries (9/10 I didn't have any of the dips lol) and then got the cold noodle salad with tuna (8/10 a little spicy for me) and my friend had the chicken curry (6/10 way too spicy for me). We also had the santo shiso (7/10 tasted good upfront but then I didn't like the end flavor and was a little too sweet) and the French blonde (8/10 better!) overall not a bad experience, just not my favorite!

    Market fish
    Spencer S.

    Great food, great value, great service. Would 9/10 recommend this spot to someone looking for great Thai food. In a buzzy part of union square/east village. One drawback is that the main dining area got very loud toward the end of dinner (around 9:30/10). To compensate for the loud people, they turned up the music. Maybe this was a one off occurrence, but I had a very hard time hearing the other person at the table by the time I left. Didn't care for it. Server was very nice and helped us pick dishes. We ordered the following: Lemongrass grilled wings: amazing flavor with like a spicy Mayo on the side Spicy eggplant - the spice sneaks up on you. Eggplant is a bit firmer than normal preparation Market fish - in a buttery curry sauce that was to die for. Came with a side of coconut rice Peanut street noodles - excellent. This is what everyone said to get. Added crispy tofu, which was a nice balance. Mezcal margarita - OK. Not my thing, but was still good. Yuzu ginger cider - pretty good

    Came here on a date with the wife since I'm allergic to gluten and I got to say this place didn't disappoint! We made a reservation and the environment feels cozy and great for dinner dates. The staff were super nice as well. The food was fantastic from drinks to appetizers. The coconut shrimp was one of the best appetizer I ever had, highly recommend trying them! The Korean Fried Chicken was good and the peanut noodles, overall everything was amazing and you won't go wrong with any choices. Best tasting pop-up restaurant I ever been too.

    2 eggs your way, tofu scramble substitute
    Richard T.

    Came to TLK on New Years after seeing many other restaurants shut down and was able to get seated for the brunch menu! Ordered 2 dishes: 2 eggs your way : was very curious how the tofu scramble was going to taste as the egg substitute, and I was pleasantly surprised ! The scramble was drizzled with a light savory sauce, had a texture similar to scrambled eggs, and the sausage and potato hash was well cooked. Peanut street noodles: liked TLK's version of peanut noodles, specifically the use of chilies to bring a bit of spice to the dish. Only thing I was upset about was how unjustified the pricing seemed to add meat/tofu to the noodles -- adding $6 for 5 tofu blocks on top of my noodles did not seem like it was worth it. (I also think $7 extra to add chicken is high too) Overall solid food, if not a bit expensive.

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.
