    Tucked away under a run-of-the-mill hair salon on Cote-des-Neiges road, Tuk Tuk is an unpretentious BYOB restaurant where you can tuck into hearty Thai & Cambodian grub. By a fluke, in the depths of winter, this restaurant's signage caught my eye. I specifically took notice of the logo: a cute three-weeled taxi, also known as a "tuk tuk" in Asia, likely the source of inspiration for the restaurant's name. This auto-rickshaw epitomizes Thailand, Cambodia, and other southern Asian nations: the hustle and bustle of urban life, the chaos of traffic, the aroma of curry, the ubiquity of cheap massages, etc. The sensual imagery evoked by this mere emblem was a compelling reason for me to give this place a shot. Whilst Tuk Tuk was desolate when I entered, I was received with pomp and circumstance. The sole waiter rolled out the red carpet for me, and ushered me to an intimate table. I sank into a snug chair, and leaned forward to peruse the structured menu. Boy was I spoiled for choice: they had everything, from soup to nuts! Although variety is indeed the spice of life, I opted for green curry beef. In two shakes of a lamb's tail, my dish was severed with good manners. I was all smiles as I gobbled down my supper. The beef was tender and full of flavour. The medley of vegetables produced a tang that was out of this world. Before you can say Jack Robinson, I was blissfully sated. All things considered, this informal setting is ideal for an indolent night with your consort when you don't feel like cooking. The prices are easy on the pocket, and the decor is easy on the eyes. Most importantly, the food is succulent and will leave you lost for words.

    Amok, similar to Thai penang curry dish

    One of very few cambodian restaurants in town. There may be others but in most you have one or two cambodian dishes and that's pretty much it. A lot of the dishes here are similar to thai dishes. The one pearl I found here is the mango salad. It is amazing. The mango is julienned and served with shrimp in a vinegary salad dressing, it is very light and fresh. there are bits of fried garlic as garnish and that really adds some nice flavor. It is a perfect dish. I've had other dishes her, but this is the only one I remember. They also have larb here which is a minced meat salad, although larb is also traditional in Laos and thai cuisine so don't know if this version is strictly cambodian style or not. I definitely recommend this place, it's not pricey and interesting if you are looking to find something new you haven't had before.

    Salt and chili fried calamari

    I came to Tuk Tuk with my friends after Hearing them say how delicious their pad thai was! I've always loved pad thai so since day one hearing them say that, I knew I have to come to Tuk Tuk and try their pad thai! We came for dinner (didn't make reservation but we got seated right after we arrived). It took us a little bit of time before deciding what we wanted (they have a big variety of Thai and Cambodian dishes on their menu). The waiter was extremely friendly and answered my friend's question patiently. We finally decided to share all the dishes and ordered the fried calamari as appetizer, the tofu pad thai, the beef pad si'eve and the chicken cha chou em. Their fried calamari didn't look or taste like what I've expected. I thought it would be the greek style calamari... But then I remember we were in a Thai and Cambodian restaurant! Their fried calamari tasted more "Chinese" because of the salt and pepper (you can find a lot of salt and pepper dishes in Chinese cuisine). The dish wasn't bad at all but it wasn't the kind of fried calamari I wanted to eat haha! The tofu pad thai was pretty good (I ordered it non-spicy), the portion was big enough to be split. Their so-called tofu was more like dried bean curd cake/dried tofu (豆乾), which I liked a lot. The dried tofu was stir-fried first, which made it tastier. I prefer this texture since it is harder and chewier than the soft and easy-to-break tofu texture. I would enjoyed this dish more if they have given more lemon, they only gave me one slice of lemon and it wasn't enough to bring the whole pad thai flavour to the max... The beef pad si'eve, which was pad sew (thick rice noodle stir-fried in soy sauce) tasted good but very "Chinese". This flavour was something you could easier get at any Asian restaurants. There wasn't any Thai or Cambodian touch to it... The chicken cha chou em was like a general tao but not quite it. Besides the sweet and sour sauce, there was a South-East asian taste because of the coconut milk and Thai basil. My friends didn't quite like it because there were too much vegetables they didn't like (celery, peppers, etc.) However, I enjoyed the vegetables because they were really fresh and crunchy, especially the celery! The only remark I have was, the rice they gave was definitely not enough for the amount of sauce there! Tuk Tuk is a bring your own wine restaurant and it gets busier at night (around 7-8 pm). It is a small restaurant so the seats fill up quickly. I recommend making reservations! The restaurant gets very very noisy/loud as well (it wouldn't be suitable for a romantic dinner or a date since you can hardly hear what the person seating in front of you is saying..)

    This cute little restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner of CDN - a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of location. However, this is def a go-to place if you're in the area. The conventional flavors of SE-Asian cuisine that us, non-SE-Asians are used to (from other restaurants) are all there but with some added kicks of flavor. We ordered the beef salad which was an interesting dish to say the least. The beef strips were flavorful and succulent but as a salad, it didn't really fit that name-tag. We also ordered the 'chicken and shrimp fried rice' which was very delicious. The best fried rice I've had in Montreal till now. The rice they use here is smaller and lighter so the flavors in the fried rice come through stronger. We also ordered the Amok (a chicken curry dish) but I was more impressed with the fried rice because I was expecting more heat and flavor in the Amok. Hence because two out of the three dishes didn't impress me too much, I'll give this place three stars for now but I'll go back and try more dishes there. The restaurant was a refreshing find and even the Ikea catalog-esque decor was charming. It was simple and served the purpose yet it was elegant. I loved the jazz music backdrop and the staff were friendly.

    I'm no expert in Thai food. I've never been to Thailand (but it's on my bucket list). Sure I've seen Anthony Bourdain's No reservations - Thailand and I enjoy North American aromatic-fragrant- spicy Thai food. However I'm only an amateur. So when checking out Tuk Tuk's reviews I was thoroughly intrigued. I was happy to see it was advertised as Cambodian-Thai. The owners are Cambodian and cook Thai food in their own special twist. I went ahead and ordered four dishes plus a Thai ice tea. The Thai iced tea was very good and similar in taste to many other places however much stronger and sweeter. I went and asked the guy working the counter if he could put some more ice in it to mellow out the strong flavour a bit. He did and it was good to go! Here's a run down of the dishes ordered for takeout: 1) Chicken Pad Thai - did not taste anywhere near Pad Thai I know and have experienced. The ones I prefer are in a sweet tamarind base sauce that are tangy/spicy as well. Flavour was okay a bit bland and not so much flavour with smaller pieces of chicken. Not exactly as we prefer. 2.75/5 2) Beef Pad Sew- From what I have experienced Pad Sew is typically in a soy sauce base. This pad sew was more like stir fry. It wasn't horrible but I would not consider the flavour and taste as memorable. 3/5 3) Cha Kneiy Chicken (Ginger Stir Fry)- similar to other Ginger based stir fry's I've had at other Cambodian restaurants. Both my wife and I found very bland. 2/5 4) Chicken Amok- creamy curry in coconut milk. - this was the best dish out of all of the ones ordered. Very fragrant creamy and lots of flavour. 5/5 I appreciate that these people do try to serve Thai food but For me it's slightly above average. If I return I'd look to enjoy some more traditional Cambodian dishes. This I'm certain they would excel at. I've still yet to find a Thai place better than my go to Bangkok Thai. The search continues.

    Dinner so other a special friemd

    Seriously good! It actually took a lot for me to say yes to going here. This superb spot was recommended to me by a friend. All they said was that it was a small Thai spot located in cote de neige. Not the closest spot to my home and I really didn't want to run the risk of getting bad Thai food... But I went and I was amazingly surprised. Tuk Tuk is a small spot seating about 32. Nothing about it visually really stands out and there are few indicators as to what the meals will be other than the menus. Our server was super nice and attentive and happy to answer our questions.... Anyways about the food. The menu has a number of Cambodian dishes and I think these are where the restaurant shines. The Ali's du Tuk Tuk was a great way to start. Fresh citrus, tender... Tennnnder chicken and yummy spicy peppers opened us up to what was coming next. The talapia amok was so flavourful and cooked to perfection. The blades lemongrass in this dish brought it to another level. The fresh springrolls ...were actually fresh. Celery in soup is not my thing but this Tom yum killllled it!the pad Thai was also really delicious but we found ourselves asking for extra fish sauce. Lastly borbor tnaot is my new favourite dessert. If you like fresh coconut cream, soft tapioca and a perfectly sweetens pudding I would recommend. I would check it out! One downside was that not everything on the menus was available.

    Thai tea
    Siu-Tin Y.

    A small restaurant located in Côte-des-Neiges area where they provide authentic cambodian and thai food. Staffs are super friendly and nice! I usually always order their pad thai, spring roll and thai tea. But recently I've tried a new plate called "Amok" and I've fallen in love with it. It's a Kroeung with coconut milk and cream, it basically tastes like curry but with some lime in it so it doesn't make you feel too heavy when eating it. It comes with rice and vegetables with a choice of chicken, tofu, shrimp or fish. This plate is one of their specialty and so I would recommend it :)

    This newly opened restaurant is family owned and serves a fusion of authentic Cambodian cuisine as well as Thai. The traditional spices allow each dish to vary from being spicy, savoury, tangy, rich, refreshing to sweet (desserts). Dishes can be made spicier or less spicy upon request. Dishes can also be modified in case of allergies. Drop by during the afternoon to take advantage of the lunch menu or arrive in the evening to enjoy an unrushed meal served by a loving family.

    Working in Montreal for the week and it's dinner time! I did my usual Yelp'ing and landed on Pamika…read moreThai! Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the street in downtown is this gem. It's got a small footprint on the outside, but inside is a different story! It's so beautiful and intimate in here. The floors and the ceilings are darker colors giving a more intimate vibe. The decor is AMAZING and transports you to an entirely different country. The vibes were very intimate, romantic and definitely a place you want to be. Service: Glenn was my bartender as I sat at the bar and he was awesome. He was funny, witty and made sure I had the best time possible. I also would like to shout out Benjamin as well. He's the director of the restaurant and also made sure I had a good time. Food/Drinks: I started off with the Le Vieux Cajou, which is Buffalo Trace whiskey infused with cashews, spicy coriander syrup then a few dashes of both Angostura and chocolate bitter. This drink sounds so out there, but it was so smooth, oaky, a bit nutty, mildly sweet, very tasty, robust, woody. I really liked it. I saw so many things on the menu that I wanted to try that I couldn't make up my mind so I opted for the tasting menu! Here's how it went! Out first was the Fried papaya salad which consists of deep-fried green papaya and carrots, fried shrimp, fresh chilies, tomatoes, long beans and peanuts. This was very tasty with that good spicy sauce on top. I loved the sweetness with the salt and the heaviness of the fried batter. Absolutely delicious. Never had anything like it before. My only complaint is that the shrimp didn't pull all the way out of their shells like I'm used to. Lol. Next up was the Khao Soi which is a dish comprised of egg noodles, chicken drumsticks, a quail egg, pickled choy, limes, coriander, red onions and khao soy sauce. This dish was a bit spicy, with flavors just all over the place in a great way. LOVED the rich curry flavor, super aromatic. Lastly was the Set Tum Thai which is That BBQ pork shoulder served with sticky rice and a papaya salad. It was SUPER flavorful pork and an amazing spicy sauce. Rice was nice and sticky to calm the flavors down. Well-balanced. Value: It's more upscale and "modern" Thai cusine so you have to pay for it. Lol. All prices are in $CAD. My first drink was $14.00. The tasting menu was $85.00. Absolutely worth it. In conclusion, I loved this place, what it represented and how everything was executed. I highly encourage you to check this place out! Thank you for reading.

    Unfortunantly it didnt quite scratch the itch we were hoping for but also wasnt too bad overall…read more In general I think they need two more servers to keep up with demand. The servers seemed busy but it took a while for every step of the way so I think they could use a bit more help. The other thing that was a bit unfortunant was the amount of fruit flies that were around. One or two isnt an issue but we were having to swipe away one pretty consistantly. That being said, the food itself was pretty decent overall. Ill go over the so-so stuff first. We were trying to get the vegiterian papaya salad but apparently there is fish sauce in it that cant be removed so I am not sure why they label it as vegiterian optional. (Thats a bit of a pet peeve of mine since people probably dont even ask if it is labeled as vegiterian). The phad thai was decent with strechy noodles and fried tofu which is something we look for but the peanuts were all clumpped together as if they had been stored for a while. Not nessasarily a bad thing but califlour was also one of the vegtables which is an interesting choice. On the good end, the bak egg roles were crisp and had good flavores especially when adding the sauce. They gave us the chicken one on accident at first but figured out their mistake before we had any. The drink was also very refreshing. The egg wash was smooth and sweet which complimented the tart and fruity drink. The atmosphere itself was interesting. The long marbel X shaped table that centered the room was something I hadnt seen anywhere else. It seemed a bit akward at first but the lights and bar made it work more. The lamps seemed like a nice touch that added depth and a warm lighting to the room. I always like when lights are hung together at a different hights to give that depth. Overall probably not one I would go back to.

It had a welcoming feel and a great cooking smell upon entry. I was seated promptly at a table near the front windows. The water had a metallic taste but was better with a squeeze of lime. After some debate and a few questions to my server Luig, I decided upon the vegan Pad Thai. While waiting for my meal I noticed a group being seated an explained the menu. Soon after my meal arrived well presented and served with thicker than average chopsticks which were easier to use than some. Interestingly, they eat pad thai with a fork in Thailand, so that was a bit of a faux pas in my opinion. The portion was reasonable, but not large by any stretch. The plate contained al dente broccoli and cauliflower, rectangle shaped fried tofu chunks, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, green onions and semi-wide noodles with good chew. Notably the dish was not too spicy which seems to be what proper Pad Thai should be. Also notable was the reasonable (for these crazy times) $14 menu price for my sit down meal. Nice to see there are Thai restaurants that give options for more authenticity than the quick serve ones.
