After 3 days of tapas we needed some Asian food. Tuk tuk was nearby so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived at 8pm the restaurant was a bit empty however we were told a reservation is needed. The lady working there kindly let us sit anyways saying we have an hour before the reservations will come in. That was enough time for us to satisfy our cravings. I ordered the pad Thai with prawns and my boyfriend ordered the Indonesian fried rice with the fried egg on top. Both were tasty and a tad too sweet for my liking. The pad Thai is pretty authentic and it came with additional items to give it more flavor such as raw bean sprouts and onions. I really enjoyed the noodles and the fried rice was delicious. Highly recommend coming here for an Asian fix and to also make a reservation. The menu items were quite interesting and would come back to try other items if I had more time. But I'm glad we got to stop by during our short stay in Madrid. Also the price is very reasonable about 9 euros per meal. read more

We walked into this place close to their closing time but the hostess did not give us a hard time and welcomed us. Being vegetarian we are skeptical of fishy taste in asian food but this place accommodated us and the food was spectacular. We had the fried rice noodles and thai red curry and all were exceptionally executed. We were so impressed that we wanted to pack this food for our flight back as well read more

If you find yourself in Madrid with a craving for Thai, this place might do the trick but it's not worth a trip otherwise. Or maybe it was just me and what I ordered. Many people seem to like it because it was super packed on my first attempt to visit for lunch. It seemed like a spot where I could go and eat alone without too much judgement (and the location was very convenient to my hotel) so I decided to try again for dinner on another night. Even though the restaurant was almost empty, the host seemed unsure about seating me as he said they had a lot of reservations coming. They allowed me to sit if I promised to be out of there by 10. For the record, it was 8:45 when I arrived and I was out of there by 9:15. So either make a reservation or arrive close to opening to secure a table. My Nathan Road noodles came out very quickly but were drowning in sauce, mushy, and the tiny pieces of chicken were few and far between. It needed more chicken, more textures, and more acid. I added some hot sauce which helped a little. The price was reasonable and service was friendly but I left very unimpressed with the food. English speaking service and menu available for those who need it. read more

Tuk Tuk - Nathan Road noodles: Disappointing. Would not recommend. - Pan Asian Near Me - Madrid, M

Mind blowing Asian food? NAH. Good service? Yes. Overall, it was a nice experience but I wouldn't say: "when in Madrid, must go". I would rather say: "in the neighbourhood? Well, why not. It's OK." We tried 5 different dishes between the four of us and none of it really stood out as exceptional. It was nice, just nice food. Nothing wrong with that, let me not behave like a spoiled brat here. Amazing Asian food experience? NAH. read more

Tuk Tuk - Pan Asian Near Me - Madrid, M

One of our first meals here and it did not disappoint. I had the MALAY CURRY LAKSA which is Coconut curry soup with noodles, prawns, chicken and tofu, all one and the broth is thick, rich, and amazing. The Mrs had pad thai, which although very good, did not hold up the complex and unique flavors of my MALAY CURRY LAKSA. Go there, you will not be unsatisfied! read more

If you're specially looking/craving Thai food in Madrid, I highly recommend TukTuk. I come from Hawaii which is highly influenced by Asian food and I must say it was like eating at home. They didn't change the food at all to cater towards the Spanish tongue. They kept the spice and rich flavor in the dishes I tried, which is key in Thai cuisine. For dinner, we had 3 dishes: Pad Thai, Gaeng Keaw Wan, and Tom Ka Gai. The Pad Thai wasn't my favorite of the three, but it was full of veggies. It was plain for the Pad Thai that I'm used to, there was no spice. Gaeng Keaw Wan was my FAVORITE!! It's a green curry which was on the spicy side. Very authentic taste. I could taste the coconut milk then all spices and leaves cooked into it. Lastly was the soup, Tom Ka Gai. The soup was rich and creamy. That had the most flavor of the three dishes. You could really taste the lemon grass and lime leaves soaked into the soup. Again, I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Thai food! ENJOY!!! read more

The food is extremely delicious. We ate everything on our plates. We went for the Sunday brunch. Amazing ambiance, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go back for some tasty food. It was so great that I decided to order more food. I wanted to have stir fried rice, and I wanted chicken as well but that dish was not on the menu, so the owner who was present told the staff to prepare the dish for me. Highly recommended for all. read more

I've been twice to Tuk Tuk and had a good experience both times. It is not a Thai restaurant, though, as some have implied. It's run by Americans and includes (probably westernized) dishes inspired by food from throughout Southeast Asia. Everything tastes good, as you would expect when eating a meal full of sugar, spices, butter and/or cream. Nearly everything on the menu seems to be high in calories, except maybe for the Vietnamese Pho. So it's good for a splurge, but definitely not every day food! It's a nice, casual atmosphere good for meeting up with friends. The servers are friendly and attentive. The clientele is largely made up of international people, especially Americans. To comment specifically on what I tried in order of preference: Pad thai: On both visits, my less adventurous companions ordered this Thai standby. I don't know if it's the most authentic, but I have to say it's one of the better Pad Thai dishes I've tried! It has lots of flavor and nice textures. You can't go wrong with this dish. Of course, like everything else, it's a large quantity and likely packed with calories! Gai Pad (Stir fried chicken dish with rice and egg): I ordered this by recommendation of a friend. The food was well seasoned, although a bit sweet for my taste. It's also quite a heavy dish, so come hungry! Tom Ka Gai (chicken soup with coconut milk): The first few bites were delicious, but after that it was too dense for me. It would be good to share as an appetizer, rather than as your main dish. It's quite sweet and has LOTs of coconut milk. read more

The food was alright but some dishes were too salty and not authentic. Street food is usually very flavourful which the dishes lacked; the dishes were definitely on the salty side for the broths. The pad thai was too saucy. read more

My friend and I both are here working as Au Pairs, I'm from the U.S. And she is from Malaysia. We came to this place 2x within 5 days, traveling an hour each way by train and metro from Alcalá de Henares. This is the only place we have found in the last 2 months with great flavored Asian food! The staff also were very helpful both times we dined here as well. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Tuk Tuk - Main course. Rice bowl - Pan Asian Near Me - Madrid, M

Not as good as I hoped it would be. We ordered a variety of the menu, most of them taste almost the same, sweet. The staff were friendly and some of them speak good English, so that's a plus. read more

The cooks know what they're doing. It is street food admittedly but it is very reasonably priced. The place is small and quaint and the service was more than decent. Oh and that thai noodle soup really killed off my hangover! read more

Great Thai food! The ones with the rice were the best. I remember having one with marinated beef that was so delicious. Also, one day we went there they had a special mojito cocktail that was so excellent. This place stands out to me as being better than any of the tapas places we tried. I guess I just really love Thai food. read more

Very yummy curry! And very filling. The noodle dishes are good but they aren't very large portions. To those who love spicy food: ignore the three flaming red peppers next to dishes that are supposed to be muy picante. It wasn't spicy at all unfortunately. read more

they were kin enough to get us a table even though teir reservations were full up. It is kind of an asian blend of food, ccoked fresh and not too spicey for the Spanish palate. My wife and I enjoyed the food, great service and also English speaking wait staff. It was a great break from Tapas as regular diet. read more

The food here is a mix of Thai and Indonesian cuisine. The Tom Yum soup is pretty legit but the Gai Pad Kra Pow was not even close. Kra Pow means basil and there was no basil just green onions and a lot of black soy sauce. Pad Thai was good too. read more

Tasty food. I can recommend the pad thai. The waiter was kind of pushy to get more orders, but that behavior is easily ignored

Love this place! As someone who has traveled in Asia, and was spoiled by amazing Asian food in Los Angeles, California, I have always been struggling to find authentic cuisine in Madrid, especially food with REAL spiciness. I was surprised to hear about Tuk tuk which is inspired by Asian street food. I tried the Tom Kha Gai (amazing), the Indonesian lemon grass beef, and Malaysian satay skewers. I was not disappointed, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes! As an added bonus, I got to try taho, which is Filipino street food (silken tofu with tapioca and sweet syrup), which I actually tried on the streets of Manila in the past and it was a nice treat. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Being new in Madrid and not speaking the language fluently made me homesick. Familiar comfort food was what I needed. Enter "Tuk Tuk." I was elated to find this place in my neighborhood. The reviews on yelp were great and I decided to try it out. I decided to pass the ever famous Pad Thai and opt for the Nathan Road Noodles. Needless to say they were amazing. Very flavorful and balanced. Something I have not tasted in the US. read more

Fresh Asian food, good flavourful spices. Not sure how authentic but it was definitely very good food with fresh ingredients. We had the beef rendang: I missed the thin spicy red gravy but this creamy version was pretty delicious as well. read more
