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.

good food but the service is always poor – There are certain dishes here that are phenomenal and others that aren't. I might stick with delivery from now on because every single time I have eaten here the service is awful. not only are they painfully slow, they just don't care. this last time was the worst, the sauces for our entrees came when we almost done with them and I had to ask for our two side dishes which came when we were done with our entrees. The Chicken Panang curry is the best I have ever had, the Pad Thai is s... read more

Best Thai - Beats Natalee Thai! – I've had the Pad Thai, Siam Pork Chop, BBQ Chicken, Spicy Beef Salad, and Egg Rolls and they've all been excellent. The pork chop and beef salad deserves special mention because it's very flavorful, juicy, and not too tough. The only con is the lack of parking around the restaurant during lunch rush hour.

best thai food in LA! – Everything on this menu is amazing! and ever since their rennovations, the ambience has only gotten better! i recommend the lunch time specials (also on weekends!) where you can order for less than $10 and get the same portions are dinner time for cheaper! Park on the side streets (metered 2 hr parking.)

Tiny thai delight – I thought this miniature legend really lived up to its reputation. Flavorful dishes with lots of tofu and vegan options, simple but affortable wine list, and accomadating, personal service. A good deal and a good date spot, make a reservation.

too much to chose from... – I've been to tuk-tuk more times than I'd care to admit. I am a creature of habit, in that, I can't force myself to order anything but the Curry Dumplings, Beef Salad and Morning Glory. I'm sure there's other items worthy of trying but I just can't do it. Honestly, the best meal in Los Angeles.

Not exceptional in my one visit – I was hugely disappointed with the food mostly because of the rave reviews here on citysearch -- but there were some genuinely blah dishes and other complaints: the spicy duck salad was not spicy, and the duck was dry; the dumplings in green curry -- a nice idea -- were very bland; the tom kah gai was skimpy; the water spinach was overcooked. On the other hand, the spicy catfish was pretty good, as was the coconut flan. And the drink selection was very good. But I'm certain that this is not ... read more

I am simply hooked! – My favorite: The chicken satay, the panang shrimp, and the pad thai were out of this world! I went last night for the first time and I am going back tonight for more!

Always spot on – Ever since the remodel it's hard to get a seat. A new patio addition adds to the seating capacity as well as a new sit down bar. Service is hurried, maybe because it's a small staff and space and the gals a very busy. I always get a smile and that's sufficient for me. The main reason to head to tuk tuk is the food, always spot on. Pear salad, curry dumplings & Crying tige...mm mm good.
