OK Thai food – There are certain dishes here that are phenomenal and others that aren't. I have only had good service there once (last week), every other time not only is it painfully slow and they just don't care. one time, the sauces for our entrees came when we almost done with them and I had to ask for our two side dishes which ended up coming when we were done with our entrees. The Chicken Panang curry is the best I have ever had(except last week the chicken was dry), the Pad Thai is so good, Tom Yum Gai fabulous, Spicy... read more

Always look forward to Tuk Tuk! – I've been getting carry out and dining in at Tuk Tuk for over a year now. Their number has been on my cell phone for awhile, so I feel confident in saying that it's one of the best Thai restaurants that I've ever been to. When I moved into the area, I first tried Natalee Thai at both of their locations and was impressed until I found how much more food and a cheaper price you get at Tuk Tuk and the quality is the same! I recommend the Green and Panang Curry with Chicken, Papaya Salad and of ... read more

Very good Thai – I've been here a few times and they finished their renovations where now they have orange walls which is interesting. Their panang chicken curry is amazing and their pad thai is very good too. I come here for lunch just before noon and can find street parking but it fills up very quickly.

crab noodles and catfish and pork chop are great! – this place is great either as a place for dining in or take out. either way, the crab noodles are great -- if you like them spicy, try medium first; i tried the spicy once and boy, were they really spicy! one of my faves also is the catfish. the fried basil adds a nice touch. the pork chop is also great -- i think that the sauce makes all the difference. and, each entree is very very affordable. i keep coming back to this place...

Over Charge Left a Sour Taste! – Delighted first at the reasonable prices on the menu, we ordered a bit more than what we normally would. When we got the bill, the $6.95 lunch special became $8.95! This type of mistake has just happened too often to be an accident! Most of the time I would dispute and I would have no problem getting them corrected but I also don't want to be remembered and risk getting snott in my food next time. I admit the food for this experience was good albeit the best seller Sate chicken and Pad Thai a... read more

Horrible Restaurant!! – I was really excited to check out this restaurant based on all the great reviews I read, but was sadly dissapointed. The servers did not seem to know what ingredients were in certain entrees. They were also quite rude. The food was not good at all. I ordered the Pad Thai with vegetabes and tofu. There were maybe 4 pieces of brocolli and 2 small carrots. No tofu. No other vegetables. Overall the service was horrible and the food was not good. I also like to support small family-style restaurants, but t... read more

Wow.....what happened? – We used to go to Tuk Tuk every week, because it's just charming and quaint, plus the food was great. And they make one good lychee martini. Then the restaurant got way popular, and I guess this smaller, family-run business is just not built to handle all the guests. Last month, I took my mom to Tuk Tuk, we both noticed that they kept overcooking our meat, one dish after another. The beef and chicken in our stir fry and curries are just chewy, and hard to swallow. We thought it might have just happene... read more

Nice place – They don't take reservations for parties smaller than 4, so we had to wait about 20 minutes, but once we sat down our meal was very good. Don't go here to have a private meal or conversation - the place is very small and feels a little cramped. Everything we ate was good except the curry was a little "off". It's worth trying some of the many other things that looked good on the menu. Good prices for the large portions.
