First time going here and the sesame chicken, pad kee mow, jungle rice, and Thai tea were great. The crispy squid was interesting with a tasty sauce. The stuffed shrimp was okay for me and I wouldn't order them again. Great that most items you can choose the spicy level from 0-5. The staff were friendly and helpful. Gave a 4 star for service as they were only open for take out but the food didn't take long and we would go again.
SPECTACULAR!!! My husband and I travel coast to coast for work and my being Korean, I'm drawn to Asian restaurants 90% of any and all meals. This place is one of the best Asian restaurants in the 40+ states I've been to. Please come and try it, you won't be disappointed. You'll probably run into my husband and me! And the staff... FIVE THOUSAND STARS Tasty Tuk Tuk Tip: Don't forget the extra side items! Ask to add tofu or veggies to ANY of your soups. Flavor explosion
I always have a great experience at TukTuk! I usually get the summer rolls and grilled honey lemongrass vermicelli with chicken. My husband gets the sesame chicken. We typically order it to go. The food tastes so good and fresh. The owners are very friendly. Definitely recommend!
Best Thai on the East side! I love this secret little Thai gem FOOD> From the fresh shrimp spring rolls with bright lemon grass and a side of crunchy peanut sauce The green curry with chicken was packed with FRESH vegetables and the Pad Thai (2 spicy because I'm a total lightweight) was STELLAR and rich with flavor - it was perfectly complimented by the green curry btw. I have also tried their massamam before and it's a favorite!!!! ENJOY an authentic taste of Thailand at Tuk Tuk VALUE> fair price for tons of food TIP! ALWAYS CALL to check dining room and take out only hours as they are a locally owned and operated restaurant but trust me it's totally worth it!!!! PARKING> plenty and right by the door Handicapped friendly as are the tables and seating ATMOSPHERE> beautiful and serene
Very friendly staff as soon as we walked in the door. The food came out quickly, was hot and the dumplings and crab Rangoon were very, very tasty. The Boba was good. The menu had an authentic selection. The staff was very attentive. We will definitely come again.
Tuk tuk is a small, family owned business. The owners clearly take pride in their establishment as well as in the food. The pho had distinct depth of flavor that is hard to match (easily in the top three pho I’ve ever hard). Bill, the owner, was friendly and took time to get to know his customers. Highly recommend, definitely a hidden gem for those looking for authentic viet-Thai food.
Not your typical Thai/Vietnamese style restaurant. Had the Phở, compared to others I've tried. It had hints of sweetness to the broth. Menu has plenty to offer for different mood. As appetizers had the fried calamari & the chicken wings. Calamari was good & not chewy like other restaurants that butcher this simple dish. I would definitely recommend it, if you like calamari. Chicken wing isn't anything outstanding, you can definitely do without. For my main entree had the pork chops, it comes with 2 good sized portions of chops.
Tried Tuk Tuk today at lunch today. Wow! So glad we did. This will be our new go to place for Thai/Vietnamese food. Ordered dumplings and rice rolls for our appetizer. Soooo yummy! Lunch also came with choice of veggie or chicken spring roll. Loved the veggie one more. For mains we ordered drunken noodles, pad Thai, and basil chicken. We ordered level 3 and 4 spice. 4 was hot....like light sweat. 3 was perfect for a bit of spice, but not killing you. All the entrees had great sauces that were well balanced, not to sweet and not too salty. Vegetables were well cooked and not soggy with just the right crispness. Service was perfect. Appetizers and entrees were well timed. The waitress checked on us enough to make sure our needs were met, but not enough to be intrusive. Beverages were refilled quickly without asking. Thank you for the great lunch experience! We will be returning soon!
