Twin Tails

Twin Tails exceeded all expectations! We arrived early at 5 PM and didn’t leave until 10, yet at no point did we feel rushed—the service was impeccable. From start to finish, everything was top-notch—the food, the drinks, the ambiance, and the overall vibe. The wine selection was fantastic, and the raw fish dishes were simply outstanding. Every bite was a delight, and even the desserts were exceptional. We truly had a blast enjoying an unforgettable five-hour dining experience. Can’t wait to return!

Our server and food was fabulous. Beautiful inside the restaurant. However the bathroom is gender neutral...so we could not find a single toilet that was not covered in urine. Not to call out men but l've never been in a women's restroom with urine on every toilet seat with urine on the floor. Luckily this restaurant is in a mall so we were able to use the mall restroom. Highly recommend making the bathrooms separate by gender.

Twin Tails is advertised as Thai and Vietnamese fusion, which I didnt get it from the food itself. but I dont mind because the food is amazing. I would say it's just an Asian fusion with a lot of different elements combined. The space is dark and cozy but elegant. the service are excellent the host is super nice, coat check right away upon arrival. even you have reservation they require you to have at least half party to be seated. you can get a drink at the bar while waiting, they can bill straight to your table. we are a table of 6 the table is a bit too small for all the food we ordered but we managed. highly recommend to come at a group of 4 so you can try more different dishes and also at a more comfortable seating. let's talk about the drinks. - Salty lychee martini is SO delicious. i was a bit hesitate to order, doubting a sweet lychee will taste weird if it's salty but i was completely blown away. it's a little bit like a dirty martini but has sweet and thai basil flavor. their martini glass is also very large. good portion for the drink. - Bangkok screwdriver : not my favorite. i think it's premixed , it came out really fast just poured into the ice. nothing spectacular but there's a lot of ice in the highball. not worthy - if you are whisky drinker, theres no price on the menu, will have to ask the bartender for the price, but the pour is generous. All food are excellent , the highlights are - Whole Dorade Sashimi: very fresh fish and good presentation, if you are the person dont like to see the fish head, please skip this dish. - Green Curry escargot : best twist of the escargot we had , green curry is so tasty , it comes with toasted bread, in the end we just use bread to clean the plate because it is that good. - Crying Tiger Steak: we ordered medium rare , the steak was perfectly cooked, thick cut very juicy and pink on the inside. very good portion best to share. - twin lobster noodle: there are two salty fried lobster on top of glass noodle. noodle is very flavorful, and lobsters are fresh and juicy even it's deep fried. - Cho Lon Duck : it's very delicious crispy duck served like the Peking duck style. the skin is not as crispy as pecking duck style it's more like deep fried instead of roasted. the kumquat and pineapple is a good southeast Asian touch. - King Crab and Uni bun : very small portion but very delicious. flavor is a bit like lobster roll topped with Uni. - Crispy pork roll and netted chicken rolls are good, but the maine lobster roll is a bit let down. - lemongrass ribs are probably the weakest of the dishes, it's more like the shanghainese sweet and sour pork ribs.

Opening in 2024. The small plates are delicious and flavorsome. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, but if you get one of the booths, it allows for some intimate gathering for your table. The service-top notch. Our server was attentive, informative and had a great personality allowing for fun with our two sons. A definite place to go and experience some new flavors which we haven’t tasted elsewhere.

We had a great time. The duck tower is absolutely worth the hype and would strongly recommend the crab fried rice! It’s my new favorite fried rice plus had big chunks of crab!

Got lucky enough to snag a reservation here at Twin Tails and went in for dinner last night. Good Lord, the food here was ridiculously delicious from start to finish. We had the chicken and beef satay for appetizer, and we just looove how tender the meat was and seasoning on point! We so appreciate that they have mocktails and we were obsessed with their Thai tea swizzle so ordered multiple of those. They serve their duck in 3 tier platter so they get points for presentation but its dark meat portion (placed on middle platter) could be more tender; I tried different bites but they were too chewy for my taste. The other 2 entrees though were absolute perfection: the grilled fish, Dorade, and the steak (filet au poivre). They serve the Dorade like a whole but don’t fret bec it’s completely boneless; no clue how they did that but I’m a huge fan. The seasoning on Dorade was simple which allowed the fish to just shine and its dipping sauce complemented it very well. The Dorade dish is shareable bec it’s on the larger size, but I practically finished it all by myself bec it’s that good. The filet au poivre was served in peppercorn like sauce topped with honey butter; my husband could not stop raving over this one and most importantly, the meat was melt in your mouth tender (insert drool emoji lol). For desserts: we’re a huge fan of ube so was really looking forward to having some of their ube creme caramel but unfortunately they ran out. We ended up trying 3 of their desserts: the pistachio pandan pudding, the thai iced coffee affogato, and the rainbow sherbet cake and all were yummm! Love the vibe of this place as soon as you walk in; our only complaint was that we wished our 2 person table weren’t so close to other 2 person tables bec it made it hard for my husband and I to have our own conversation at times. Our waitress was very good, fun, and attentive. She was able to give us helpful info on any of the food on the menu that we were curious on which made ordering seamless. Kudos to whoever is the main chef here bec the food were soooo good and authentic with quality ingredients and elevated taste. My husband and I travel and eat out A LOT and this restaurant has just made it to our top 3 restaurants in New York. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Loved the restaurant space - great spot for a girls night dinner or a date. Food was good, some big hits but a few things were just OK. My favorites were the crab fried rice with lemongrass which was super fragrant, and the ube creme caramel. We loved how the duck was presented, and the dorade was also great. I also enjoyed the lipstick palm cocktail. Service was a bit off. Overall, I'd come back for a nice night out.

Tucked away on the 3rd floor, Twin Tails is a gem of a restaurant that feels like an escape from the everyday. Through its unassuming doors is an elegant dining room that's both grand yet intimate. When it comes to the food and drinks, great attention was put into the details to make these Southeast Asian dishes expertly crafted blends of already known items with a touch of innovated execution. Even simple sides are done well from plating and presentation to flavor. Altogether a meal where each bite finds you hungry for the next. As a dessert-lover, the Ube Crème Caramel was custard flan-like and my favorite! Can't wait to be back to try the Coconut Red Curry Soufflé. A special shout out to Jeree and Anthony who had great understanding of the menu's nuances because each dish they recommended was wonderful. They're also undeniably skilled servers with a knack for attention and building a comfortable atmosphere.

I had a great time at Twin Tails! Food was amazing. We had an 8:30 reservation, and unfortunately they were sold out of the dorade sashmi and king crab/uni buns. We ended up ordering fluke, mushroom rice rolls, grilled branzino, duck, crab fried rice and pistachio pandan souffle. I'd definitely recommend the rice rolls, duck, and souffle!!! I'd skip the fluke. They also told me that we got the last duck and souffle of the night. I would've been pretty disappointed if those were sold out as well -- so don't go too late! Food was still delicious, and I definitely want to go back to try the other dishes!!

A long hallway leads you into an Asian inspired paradise. It is a dimly lit restaurant with pop music. The restaurant emulates Vietnamese and Thai street food. There are sticky rices, noodles and an emerald salad. There are Asian cocktails, a special duck, steak, fish, and various style of food. The desserts are good with a selection of Asian flavored soufflés. It is busy on weekends as it is new and is located Shops at Columbus Shops. The prices are high, but it is a good experience.

Twin Tails, NYC (in Columbus Circle). Went pre-Opera and it was delicious. This is the sister restaurant to Bad Roman in the Quality group and has a SouthEast Asian menu. We had: Mushroom rice rolls (not pictured) absolutely stunning- served in a light broth with fresh herbs and lettuces to wrap and a spicy dressing Steamed Sea Bass with lemongrass broth, ginger & scallion (not pictures) was lovely and very light ChoLon Duck (pictured on tower) is their speciality and apparently it takes 2 days to prepare and sells out nightly- was amazing and served with a trio of sauces, crepes, and vegetables Peeky Toe crab fried rice (pictured) served in a fun crab bowl- very good Pistachio Souffle (you need to order this when you're ordering your main meal) And a Creme Caramel- very very good (for my gluten free guest). Total with tip for 3 of us (only 1 was drinking) was $380. Entire staff was attentive- vibe was on point.

The stunning decor of Twin Tails, coupled with the nearly flawless service and delicious cuisine, provides for a pleasurable dining experience. We were warmly greeted by the host upon arrival, before making our way over to the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail. Let me just say; the bartenders are dressed to the T's, and they conjured up some exquisitely crafted cocktails throughout the evening. The Salted Lychee Martini was unique, with a hint of olive juice providing the saltiness to an otherwise sweet cocktail. For dinner, our party of four tried the Netted Chicken Spring Rolls (delicious, but only 3 to an order,) The Shaking Beef, Glass Noodles, Crabmeat Fried Rice, Coconut Rice, Crispy Garlic Shrimp, the Cho Lon Duck, and Long Beans. All dishes were scrumptious, but the standouts to me were the Beef, Duck, and Crab Fried Rice. The Coconut Rice was very good too, but a very creamy/milky version, which differs from other versions I've tried. For dessert (I don't know how we found the room for it, but we did,) we tried the Pistachio-Pandan and Passionfruit Soufflés, and the Ube Creme Caramel (Flan.) The Ube Flan and Pistachio Soufflé are not to be missed! Twin Tails is a nice space for a special occasion dining experience, and worth every penny, which you will be spending a lot of!

Last nights dinner at Twin Tails was amazing! This gorgeous new Southeast Asian restaurant located on the 3rd floor in Columbus Circle is such a great find. Lovely decor and ambiance, everything was flavorful and filling. My friend and I had the green curry escargot, shaking beef, and the peekytoe crab fried rice. The cho lon duck is a must have. The pistachio-pandan soufflé was good but the ube crème caramel was my favorite. For cocktails, I had the salted lychee martini and my friend had the Manhattan sling, drinks were strong and tasty. The hostess and service were warm and welcoming. Perfect place for date night and large groups. I definitely will be back!

From the people behind Zou Zou's and Bad Roman, Twin Tails is the newest restaurant from Quality Branded, offering a menu that celebrates the flavors, ingredients, and techniques found throughout Southeast Asia with strong influences from Thailand and Vietnam and nods to Cambodia and Laos. Cocktails include a new take on the lychee martini and other fun riffs that will soon become signatures, and the wine list has strong French influence with entire sections dedicated to Sancerre, demi-secs, and vintage Bordeauxs. Let's not forget about the sweet and warm hospitality. The service was phenomenal and worth blushing over. With only 6 weeks open they are running like a well oiled machine. Cheers

Twins Tails is a new, grand, dazzling restaurant in Columbus Circle that is bringing some real excitement to the dining in this area. Our experience here was a bit inconsistent but overall fun and exciting, and it was one that left us eager to come back and try more of the vast food menu. Dining in Columbus Circle has always been a strange experience for me, because during the day it is an overwhelming touristy, highly-trafficked mall, yet the restaurants try their best to make you forget that you could essentially roll over and find yourself in a Sephora or J.Crew. And yes, the food is slightly pricier than your average NYC restaurant, which is expected for the area, but the food is good enough that you won't leave feeling like you paid for location rather than execution. We came here at 8:45 on a Saturday night. When I said our experience here was inconsistent, I was primarily referring to the service, which was evidenced early on when we weren't seated for almost 45 minutes after our reservation time. Luckily, there are some high-top tables near the bar that are fair game as you wait for your table, so we ended up getting a cocktail and taking in the scene, which is quite impressive. The space itself is massive and sprawling, which makes the wait that much more puzzling. In any case, the vibe strikes a great balance between buzzy and classy, refined but not pretentious. It is also excellent for people watching, or, in my case, getting ideas for what designer bag I can fantasize about. Drink-wise, I started with the Salted Lychee Martini (ketel one, lychee, lime leaf), which is a unique, kind of salty kind of sweet kind of fruity situation which is hard to categorize. It was sold to me as more like a dirty martini than something like a gimlet, but I would not agree with that. Even so, I really liked the drink and it seemed most folks here did too, because I saw one on pretty much every table I look at. I then got the Tamarind Negroni (guilder's canton dry gin, blanc vermouth, tamarind aperol), which, similar to my first drink, is a spin on a classic using Southeast Asian ingredients. Really delicious and I was sad when I finished it way too quickly. Food-wise, the menu, like the space itself, is massive and overwhelming in the best way. It was quite hard to deliberate because of the sheer number of enticing options. I'd probably want to return with a larger group to try more dishes, as there's only so much that can be accomplished with two people. Interestingly, the dishes we liked the most were not the ones sold to us as being crowd favorites, so I was happy to have consulted Google reviews to help inform our decisions. Eats, below: Yellowtail crudo w/ water nuoc cham and and shiso: A- A beautiful, vibrant presentation. The fish was fresh and delicate, the flavors were elegant and thoughtful. Not the most exciting dish of the night for us but still good if you're looking for a raw dish. Black Pepper Sirloin Satay: A I seem to have failed to take a picture of this dish so apologies for that, but perhaps it's a good indication of how excited we were to dig into this. These were really yummy, seasoned nicely, and came with a dipping sauce that was also excellent. Mushroom Bahn Cuon Rice Rolls: A+ Definitely the surprise standout of the night. Not an intuitive order but I read enough rave reviews that I knew we had to try it. Everything was fantastic - the sauce, the seasoning, the flavors. The winner of the meal, no questions. Emerald Goddess Salad w/ chrysanthemum and honeydew: A Fun and creative preparation, another dish I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. I could've probably eaten three of these by myself. Grilled Royal Dorade w/ Serrano-Ginger Dipping Sauce: A- I was really feeling one of the other seafood mains but our server was adamant that this was the world's most favorite thing on the menu, so we paid $55 (most of the other fish entrees weren't this expensive) to see what the excitement was about. It was good but I can't say it lived up to the hype. Flavors were really nice, the fish itself was solid but nothing special. The sauces were delicious. If you're feeling it go ahead, but with a menu this vast there's plenty more to get excited about.

Had a weekend dinner reservation for two people. Overall, I think this place is worth checking out - the ambiance is spectacular & the food was good. It is a bit pricey, but portions are actually pretty big & the ambiance is aligns with the pricing. My only qualm is the pacing of the food was very off and we felt super rushed. Ambiance: they nailed it with the decor. Gorgeous expansive layout and ambiance. It feels trendy and elevated and reminds me of some of the chic places in Singapore. Restaurant is very large and would be good for groups. There's a big bar area and what appears to be a separate lounge in the front that looked really cool. This place would be good for a date night, business dinner, a place to take visitors, or just a nice dinner with friends. Service: Our waitress was friendly, but messed up the pacing of food. All our apps came at the same time and there was barely room on the table. After ~15 minutes (with more than half of the apps still UNEATEN) our waitress told us the entrees were ready and asked if she could clear our apps even though we were still actively enjoying them. Very odd and made us feel rushed. Food: portions are actually pretty big. Definitely recommend family style. And would be a good place for 4+ people because of the portions sizes. Ordered the below for 2 people and it was too much food: -Cured Atlantic Fluke: recommend. Light & refreshing. -Crispy Pork Rolls: recommend. nothing crazy, but exactly what I wanted. Salty, crunchy, and flavorful. Comes with 8 smalls rolls. -King Crab & Uni Buns: good flavor! The buns are really dense and seemed a bit too heavy for the dip, but still enjoyed. -Emerald Goddess: recommend. Never had a salad like this. Very flavorful. -Cho Lon Duck: HIGHLY recommend. Gorgeous presentation. Pricey, but the portion is very generous & would be great to share. Loved all the little toppings and sauces. -Twin Lobster Noodle: I would choose the duck over this all day. Nothing wrong with this dish, but the flavor was the most underwhelming for me and a bit one dimensional (didn't get any of the "garlic chive"). But I will say, the portion is generous and good to share. It's pricey, but you literally get an entire lobster.

All 10s across the board. This place was better than I expected. The bar was set low for me seeing as I'm not a fan of Bad Roman. This restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of the mall. Upon entry, the hostess was very friendly and allowed me to wait at the bar while I waited for the rest of my party to arrive. We were able to make a reservation in advance and still be seated a little later due to train delays. The bartenders were amazing. Special shout out to the Jamaica bartender whose name escapes me. Cocktails: pom pom spritz has a great flavor profile. Not too bitter, and not too sweet due to the Pamela and pomegranate. Phuket swizzle was my favorite. This is magic in a glass. My friends loved their cocktails as well. Our server Aaliyah was a delight. She walked us through the menu and gave great descriptions of everything alongside recommendations. Raw: Yellowfin tuna served on top of avocado with a sambal and ginger sauce. Does not come with chips or bread. You can request the same bread/ biscuit used for the banh khot. This was si yummy. The flavor of the sauce was amazing. Small Banh khot was also flavorful. Mushroom banh cuon rice rolls was really the hidden gem. I fell in love. I don't usually go for mushrooms, but the flavor on this was out of this world. This was truly the surprise dish. We also ordered pork shank which is served with fried rice that is so good, grilled branzino, and red curry sea bass. Both fish options were extremely flavorful. We were very satisfied.

Amazing upscale Thai spot on the third floor of the Columbus Circle mall. The food is delicious, the service great, and the interior is beautiful. The best dishes were the duck and the pandan pistachio soufflé but really everything was delicious - the lobster summer rolls, gai lan, and the peekytoe crab fried rice. Also enjoyed the margarita. They even gave us a free affogato for our anniversary along with a card. Such an amazing find. Can't wait to come back!

The food was excellent. The soufflé is a must try! Absolutely perfectly cooked and really interesting flavors. Shaking beef was tender and had a nice flavor. Pad Thai was delicious but would skip for steep price. Red curry sea bass was delicious. The inside Decor is art deco and very classy. Exactly what you would expect from quality branded restaurant

Dining at Twin Tails in New York City is an experience that will leave a lasting impression. The decor is marvelous, bordering on jaw-dropping. From the luxurious velvet banquettes to the expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows, the space exudes a sort of nightclub vibe, mixing sophistication with vibrant energy. The soundtrack of 80s hits is exceptional and perfectly complements the setting, although the volume could be turned down a notch--guests almost have to shout to be heard. We started with the King Crab & Uni Buns. They were decent, but nothing to rave about, especially considering the restaurant's reputation. The Betel Leaf Bò Lá Lốt and Crispy Pork Chả Giò Rolls were flavorful and well-executed, bringing bold tastes with just the right amount of crisp and zest. The Mushroom Bánh Cuốn Rice Rolls were delicate yet hearty, showcasing the chef's impressive ability to highlight simple ingredients. One standout was the Isaan Beef Meatballs--juicy, tender, and packed with an addictive, savory spice. As a side, the Bamboo Sweet Sticky Rice was an enjoyable dish with its fragrant, almost floral undertones that paired well with the more decadent main courses. The Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice was also a winner, with its rich flavors and perfect texture, adding depth to the meal. For mains, the Cho Lon Duck was the epitome of indulgence, with its tender meat served alongside thin, steamed crepes and vibrant sauces made for a delightful DIY experience. To close the evening, the Coconut Red Curry Soufflé was unique and delicious, balancing sweetness with an unexpected hint of spice. The Ube Crème Caramel was a smooth and delightful finale, bringing a touch of sweetness that wasn't overwhelming. Service was on point, with many staff ensuring tables were cleaned and water glasses were always full. While attentive, the sheer number of staff bustling around added to the chaotic vibe. This brings me to one notable downside--the noise level. The place is loud, so be prepared to raise your voice to be heard. It's extremely expensive, but that should come as no surprise given the prime location and luxurious atmosphere. While not without flaws, Twin Tails offers a dining experience that blends bold Southeast Asian flavors with an unforgettable ambiance.

Opening in 2024. The small plates are delicious and flavorsome. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, but if you get one of the booths, it allows for some intimate gathering for your table. The service-top notch. Our server was attentive, informative and had a great personality allowing for fun with our two sons. A definite place to go and experience some new flavors which we haven't tasted elsewhere.

Twin Tails is captivating. From the moment you walk through the sultry entry hallway you feel that you're already buckled in for a night of pure splendor. Everything about this restaurant is sensational- From the service to the decorum and the genius food. Our charming, hilarious & attentive server, Denisa: helped us navigate the menu with ease and pick the perfect amount of food. Everything was mind blowingly delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite dish when every bite of food was better than the last. If there is one thing not to miss- it is the COCONUT SOUFFLÉ! First off the texture is 10/10, it's accompanied by a red curry crème anglaise - which does pack a spicy punch, but the coconut cools for a harmonious/delectable bite. At the end of it all, I can't help but smile and think about what I'm gonna try next when I come back again! 10/10.

Twin Tails exceeded our expectations! I'm always hesitant about South east asian food because I could never find a restaurant that has it all. Safe to say that Twin Tails fulfills every aspect I'm looking for. From the ambiance to the service, it was amazing! The food itself is spectacular. We got the sashimi fish, gai lan, duck, papaya salad and the coconut red curry souffle. We came here as a last minute reservation to continue our anniversary celebration and cannot wait to come back!

I'd call this a 3.5 The food and cocktails are solid, but not mind blowing (and expensive). They have done a great job of decorating to make you forget that you are in a shopping mall, but overall the vibe is a bit corporate which matches the prices. Menu works best for groups where you can try a lot of dishes. They were unfortunately out of the signature duck, but we enjoyed the ribs, crispy pork rolls, pad thai and soufflé (soufflé was probably the best dish of the night). The shaking beef and sea bass were passable. Service was fine - but they sent out a free dish that we'd already ordered (so we ended up with two) and were quick to suggest only the most expensive dishes on the menu.

Great new restaurant. The food is pretty expensive, but good. I ordered the Yellowfin Tuna, Peanut-Ginger Chicken Satay, Maine Lobster Summer Rolls, Mushroom Banh Cuon Rice Rolls, King Crab & Uni Buns (very tiny), Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice and Soufflé for dessert. My favorite dish was the Peanut-Ginger Chicken Satay. I also enjoyed the complimentary Rainbow Sherbet dessert. The passionfruit hot sauce is amazing as well.

Twin Tails far exceeded our high expectations. It was a wonderful experience on so many levels. The service is excellent and the room is beautiful. The view is stellar. But you don't go out to eat at a restaurant (just) for the atmosphere and the service, you are there for the food and at Twin Tails it is great. Some of the best Southeast Asian food we have eaten, outside of Southeast Asia. The menu is extensive so we will be back for more, particularly the amazing duck. The cocktails are great too! The only difficulty will be getting reservations.

I went to this excellent new Vietnamese place from the same group as Bad Roman and others a couple days ago with a small group. Outside of a few minor mishaps which definitely can result from a new restaurant, the service was otherwise excellent refilling waters when necessary and giving recommendations regarding food or drinks. The space is large and very nice though the lighting unfortunately dimmed a whole lot around 30 minutes into the meal so it was a bit difficult to take good photos. I honestly don't think it was even necessary as the lighting was already pleasantly dim to begin with. The prices are a bit high here but outside of one of the small plates, I would say the food is definitely worth it. For a drink, I asked the waitress between the Tamarind Negroni and the Manhattan Sling (both $18) and the sling sounded better from her description. It had Michter's rye, clarified pineapple, and Singapore bitters and had a good balance between sight sweetness, a bit of heat from the rye, and a tiny bit of spice presumably from the bitters and it was tasty. Best of the small plates was the Isaan (or really Isan) Beef Meatballs for $19 with makrut lime leaf and peanuts. I believe they came with 7 mini meatballs which were tender and delicious with a bit of sourness from the lime. I would recommend these heavily. Probably the least worth it dish was the other appetizer; the Bánh Khọt with peekytoe crab and champagne mango for $24. The crab was good and the mango added a bit of sweetness and it was a fun to spit to have a DIY version of these Vietnamese mini pancakes but the portion wasn't as worth it as some other dishes. Another person tried the Peanut-Ginger Chicken Satay for $19 which they thought was OK which came with three sticks. The first main dish that arrived was surprisingly the one that they said would take the longest to make which was also most expensive dish; the Cholon Duck for $90 listed on the menu with jalapeño nam jim, coconut-red curry aioli, & silver dollar crepes. Outside of what was listed, there was also hoisin, salsa verde, and a plate of accoutrements consisting of some greens along with kumquat surprisingly and sliced pineapple and the dish was served on multiple tiers almost looking more like a seafood platter. While expensive, you can kind of think of this as their fun spin on Chinese roast duck and they served all the meat with slices on the bottom area along with the sauces and a mix of legs, wings, and thighs in the middle. While it is not my favorite Chinese style duck (that belongs to Golden Wu-ish,) it was tasty with a mix of fattiness and tenderness. The middle part was my favorite bit with a lot of crispy skin. The sauces were a bit atypical with some nice fruity sweetness and spice and I think two people could split this and maybe the meatballs and have a good meal. Possibly my other favorite of the dishes was the Shaking Beef/Bò Lúc Lắc listed as filet mignon recipe circa 1902 for $47. The beef was super tender as expected for it being filet regardless of how big the chunks were and it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned with a slight hint of sourness. There were also some sauteed onions as well as expected. Similarly priced with another big portion was the Pork Shank for $50 listed as crispy khao and chili vinegar with a curry sauce poured on top at the table. You can kind of think of this as their version of crispy pata in Filipino spots with very crunchy skin and tender meat. I presume the khao refers to the crispy rice salad on the bottom which added a fun texture. Said chili vinegar was on the side in a big container and it was nice and spicy with some sourness which helped to balance the richness of the pork. From the sides, we got the Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice for $29. I'm usually not the biggest fan of crab fried rice but this was very solid with a nice amount of crab and the rice had a good wok hei. We also got a side of Grilled Gai Lan for $16 which was a basic but tasty vegetable side which had a bit of chili on it. The staff had informed us while we were eating our main dishes about some of the desserts including that they have souffles listing the flavors saying that it would take an extra 15 or 20 minutes and they asked if we wanted to order some now so we wouldn't have to wait as much with the waitress also saying that her other favorite dessert is the Ube Crème Caramel. We went with the Pistachio-Pandan Souffle while someone else got the Vietnamese Mocha (both $24.) At the table, they make a small hole and pour some of the sauce in while leaving the rest on the plate. The pandan one was excellent with good pistachio flavor and some light herbal sweetness from the pandan with the sauce not being cloyingly sweet and the chocolate one I tried was pretty tasty but more generic with the coffee cream being excellent. In general, both souffles had good textures. Out of review space. In short, the food is pricey but well worth it. Mid 4.

Every single item was incredibly delicious. We started off with the banh khot. The crab was perfectly creamy and sweet. The mango added a nice bit of tanginess that paired quite well with the hot sauce it comes with. The pancakes it came with was very interesting - dense but fluffy. Just be careful because they come piping hot! The crying tiger steak was perfectly cooked. We got it medium and it really just melts in your mouth. I would get this again. The chicken kra pal was very, very flavorful. I do wish it came with white rice to tone some of the flavor down because on its own, it was quite salty. We did get a side of black rice, but 1) it was $12, and 2) it was slightly sweet (relative to the other rice options which seemed even sweeter) so it didn't pair well with the chicken. I definitely wouldn't get the rice again, but would the chicken! The gai lan helped with some of the greasiness of the other things we ate, though they were covered in chili oil so it wasn't quite what we were hoping for, but was not disappointing. Our waitress was incredibly attentive - offered the soufflé ahead of time since it takes a while to make and happily cancelled it when we communicated that we were quite full. The ambiance is also very romantic. It's dark and very red, it's the perfect date spot or an intimate dinner setting.

what a nice restaurant with delicious food! our server was friendly and cheerful, and the space itself was large and lavish. very similar interior to bad roman (italian restaurant across the mall floor, same owner). the highlight of our meal was the very expensive (but worth it) duck. it came with 3 sauces that each complimented the duck incredibly well in different ways. we wrapped the meat in thin crepes, and stuffed in cucumber/pineapple/peppers. we also loved the chrysanthemum salad with crispy rice on top. very unique and refreshing, kind of citrusy dressing. the soufflés were expensive but also worth it. the coconut red curry was savory yet sweet on top--such a fun souffle flavor. the pistachio pandan was so yummy (i typically don't enjoy pistachio). the mushroom rolled in rice noodles were very yummy but didn't stand out as much as our other items. great portion for three people.

Bring a few people, order a variety of dishes, and share them. The "not to be missed" dishes in our dinner were the Peking duck tower and the crispy spring rolls, but everything was delicious. Best desserts were the chocolate soufflé and the rainbow sherbet cake, which is basically a layered ice cream cake that's made, as you might guess, with several flavors of sherbet. Service was very good. Not particularly loud. Child and vegetarian friendly. Very expensive, but that's to be expected from a brand new, lavishly appointed property in the Time Warner building, one floor below Per Se. From the same group that owns Bad Roman on the other side of the same building, as well as other upscale restaurants in town. Reservations are a must; we came early on a Thursday evening and the place was packed.

Stunningly decorated, at only week 6 of operation, Twin Tails shone when it came to quality and taste of food as well service when it came to making something right. I never expect a comp, but to my surprise after a drink wait snafu, we were treated with a sincere apology and apps. We ordered from almost every category on the menu. Favorites of mine included the mushroom roll, the beef grape leaves, Dover sole, curry soufflé, lobster noodles.

Really creative and tasty dishes: tuna avocado crudo, meatballs were awesome, beef rice roll were great, crispy garlic shrimp was good, long beans were so long, they had their own special dish. And a passion fruit soufflé to punctuate the night. Great ambiance, vibe and service. We'll be back for sure!

Mixed experience but overall positive and I'd love to return to try more menu items. My 4 stars would be an easy 5 if it weren't for the wait we encountered. We arrived to our 7:45 reservation 10 minutes early with no expectation to be seated early however we did finally get seated around 8:20 with the host/ hostess providing no timing update or sense of urgency each time we asked for an update on when we would be seated... Definitely kicked us off on the wrong note. The bar area was also packed with people waiting for their reservations so I am sure that we weren't the only ones in this situation. Not to mention the manager/ host/ waitress didn't apologize or offer to comp anything on the menu, even a dessert would've made us feel better about the situation! We also noticed a group who was finished eating got kicked out of their table to seat us and got offered free drinks at the bar for the inconvenience, however that wasn't offered to us. We immediately ordered food and the appetizers came out super quickly, honestly they wouldn't stop coming and we had to ask to course them out. Despite this start, our waitress was phenomenal and the food was incredible. The duck entree was definitely my favorite as it was cooked perfectly. Yellowtail sashimi had a pungent watermelon sauce that was unique and incredible. Dover sole was sweet and creamy, a must get! Next time, I'd probably skip the lobster spring rolls (nothing special) and crab pancakes (not that flavorful) but everything else was definitely worth writing home about. I thought the Dorade Sashimi was going to be a gimmick/ just for the photo op but it was actually super fresh and the sauces were delicious. Dont skip out on the desserts!!! We got the passion fruit and mocha soufflés and they were incredible. Overall the food was delicious and the ambiance was dark, intimate, and classy. I'd love to return for the beef shank as they ran out by the time we were ordering. But if you do pay a visit, expect to wait a while until you'll be seated.

Went for drinks in their speakeasy. Got a reservation for our larger party. Excellent service in a beautiful setting. Very attentive staff in a convenient location. Delicious appetizer (chicken spring rolls). Can't wait to go back and try more food.

This place is expensive! I ordered a side of rice and the bill showed it for $12! The ambiance is nice but the portions and price of food is not worth the premium

This place is gorgeous and everything hit the mark- food, service, stunning interior. Will definitely come back with my husband, it would make a great date spot. Enjoyed it as much as Bad Roman. Cocktails were so yummy- the Manhattan Sling was my favorite. Meatballs, yellowtail, beef and sole were all delicious. loved the sorbet cake! Service was also perfect (thanks Hugh)!

Great food, service and ambiance! Get over the fact that it is in a mall, it will be soo worth it once you get inside!

Place is beautiful, Service was impeccable, and the food was so flavorful. Super unique flavors and all dishes were very unique. Some highlights: yellowtail tuna was delicate and delicious, salmon crudo was a triumph, mushroom roll was great, and their dover sole deserves a standing O. Classic with a twist. While they were out of most soufflé flavors, the mocha flavored one was yummy and their ube flavored flan was delicious. Will be back. Very soon.

Overall great experience. Food was great with many great flavors. Good cocktails. Even better service! The ambiance and vibes are great for date night or large parties. Would def go back. The house made passionfruit hot sauce was an amazing touch. Def going back

Beautiful dining room that offers a unique take on southeast Asian flavors - specifically Thai with some element of Vietnamese. The dining room is elegant, modern and inviting. The pomelo salad with crispy price was great. A mix of slight sweetness of the fruit combined with the savoriness of the rice. The Manila clam toast as well. The toast is the star as it soaks up all that clam juice. The laab meatballs were good but a little on the sweet side. Laab is known for its spice typically. The Dover sole was presented on a buttery creamy sauce with Asian spices. It was a unique take on a classic and was enjoyable. There are a ton of other items on the menu we would like to try, next time!

We visited during the grand opening week. Note, most restaurants are at their peak performance when they first open. Service was amazing, food was delicious and the ambiance was very cool. The price is about what you would expect for the area, if not a little cheaper than similar offerings. Would highly recommend the oysters!

I have been here twice, and I enjoyed everything that I had here. My personal favorites have been theroasted duck, shrimp pad Thai, curried red snapper and mango sticky rice. I also love the chicken satay. The ambience is amazing with views of Central Park. It's a great place to have date or to celebrate a special occasion. The service was great as well.

To start, service was great and extremely attentive. The restaurant feels luxe and opulent. Was this the most authentic Thai food? No. But it was tasty. I would say some dishes were a little hit or miss. Loved the yellowtail crudo, crispy rice salad, and the clay pot salmon. The isaan meatballs were very dry and salty; the coconut rice was soupy and underwhelming in flavor and texture; the mushroom rice rolls tasted really good, but the rice roll fell apart too easily making it hard to eat. Don't skip dessert--mango sticky rice and souffle was yum!

Great good. Great drinks. Great service. Highly recommend for everybody. Different then other Thai restaurants.

Definitely a crowd pleaser restaurant good for groups or anyone who's looking for a scene. The duck was great but ours came out a little cold. Crab fried rice was basic not much flavor there. The mushroom appetizer was really good. The salads were just fine. Overall expecting it to be another over hyped restaurant to come from this group.

Sleek, moody and swanky, with creative high end southeast Asian cuisine. It's a great new addition to the UWS.

Had an amazing dinner. The views were great. The service was wonderful. Wait staff and management are always circulating to ensure needs are met. Make sure to make a reservation.

Beautiful interior design. Food was a major cut above ordinary. Outstanding duck. Grilled Shrimp on the pad Thai were excelled. Servers recommendations were dead on.

Bravo to the entire staff at Twin Tails. GM, Chad Kendall, has put together an incredible team of chefs, servers, and hosts. Every dish was so delicious we couldn't choose a favorite- although we did order a second Chicken Eggroll Wrap! The wait staff was friendly and attentive- never allowing a crumb or drop of water to remain on our table without cleaning it up immediately. It's obvious a lot of thought went into creating the perfect combination of stunning and upscale without being pretentious or stuffy. Can't wait to go back on our next trip! Shout out to our server, Hernan, and his two table assistants.

Mary Jane was a fabulous server... so helpful and knowledgeable. The head of guest relations, Nancy, was so accommodating and gave us a tour of the whole facility. Every staff member including Wilson, the server assistant, was professional and welcoming. They had obviously experienced all items on the menu and were well-versed in the dishes... from appetizer through to dessert... and made wonderful suggestions. I can't say enough about this staff. And the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful... Food is spectacular. This is a special place. Not to be missed.
