Discover Twin Tails at The Shops at Columbus Circle

Quality Branded, the restaurant group behind neighborhood favorite Bad Roman, has unveiled its latest venture: Twin Tails, a Southeast Asian-inspired restaurant located on the third floor of The Shops at Columbus Circle (10 Columbus Circle). Joining the group’s impressive lineup, Twin Tails brings the vibrant flavors and rich culinary traditions of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos to Lincoln Square.

Chef Craig Koketsu, who has been named one of NYC’s top up-and-coming chefs by both New York Magazine and Esquire Magazine, has curated a menu that celebrates Thai and Vietnamese flavors with signature dishes that spotlight regional ingredients. Menu highlights include a papaya and kumquat salad that waitstaff prepares tableside - grinding garlic and chili in a mortar and pestle, lemongrass ribs glazed with black pepper caramel, and a variety of seafood offerings that pay homage to Southeast Asia’s coastlines. Twin Tails’ unique cocktail menu also incorporates flavors from across the region. Signature drinks include salted lychee martinis, sambal margaritas, and Bangkok screwdrivers made with vodka, calamansi, galangal, Thai basil, and chili.

The spacious restaurant interior, designed by AvroKo, displays custom lighting, wicker-backed chairs, and floor-to-ceiling windows, blending contemporary elegance with a tropical ambiance. A hidden speakeasy-style bar space, accessed through a door off of the entryway, offers an ideal location for pre-or post-dinner drinks.

With Twin Tails joining Bad Roman in The Shops at Columbus Circle, Quality Branded continues to enhance the dining options in Lincoln Square, one of Manhattan’s premier shopping and dining destinations. Twin Tails is now open for dinner service, with hours from 5:00pm to 10:30pm Sunday through Thursday, and from 5:00pm to 11:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays. You can make a reservation on OpenTable, or call Twin Tails at (212) 970-8828.
