After having a bad experience at another restaurant, chose try Tuk Tuk Thai on 17th avenue SW. The food was wonderful! The flavors are clean and appealing. Had the chicken pad Thai- it had lots of chicken and was a joy to eat. The tukki sticks were enjoyable but the mango sticky rice, so good!! Thank you!! read more

I have gotten the beef masam curry over 20 times and it has always been delicious. However, the dish I got today was absolutely disgusting! When I got it home and opened the container there were 3 tiny pieces of potato, strings of grizzly meat and a slab of rice with watery sauce. The meat was impossible to chew and even my dog wasn't interested in it. I had to throw it out. In the end I paid over $15 for a mound of rice with watery sauce. Even though I am a regular I will NEVER order from this location again. read more

Ordered delivery. Was super fast and arrived warm! Presentation was also great (check out the pic). Giving 4/5 stars bc I've had better tasting Pad Thai before, but it was decently priced and a decent amount of food read more

The visible logo and bright, easy to follow menu brought me in. I absolutely loved the spring rolls so we tried more. Our family liked the chicken rice stix, soup, fried rice. The $3 tea (tastes kind of like chai, caramel, cinnamon) was a pleasant surprise too. The cute little lotus containers are a nice touch. Fantastic, different- we will be loyal customers now. read more

So disappointing. There's far too much rice and barely any vegetables and meat. I can fill up on rice at home for free I don't have to pay $30 to do it. You really should provide less rice and more meat and vegetables for your customers. My dishes were 90% rice and 10% everything else. And to top it off the rice was super mushy and almost like a paste. My spring rolls were over cooked. The ribs were more fat than meat. Terrible experience. read more

So you are on 17th ave and you want something not so pricy on this block. You don't want to spend too much so come to Tuk Tuk Thai. The price of an entrée is about $11. Not bad. Food was good. I really like the take out box. Its in a bow flower shape and it opens in to a plate. Cool. So I got the red curry chicken. Decent portion. Very flavorful. Tried their skewer. Not bad and comes in two. Great for sharing. Flavorful. I would say. Also tried the mango salad. This is my favorite. Its different than how other thai place makes it. It doesn't have mango strings but mango chunks. At first, we were like is this authentic. But who cares if its authentic or not. It tasted really good. My favorite. The mango was nice and sweet. Also they were very generous on the mango. Overall. Pretty good. The place is like a fast food style place. Seating is somewhat limited. I do recommend coming here. read more

Having spent some time in Bangkok, Ao Nang Krabi, and other areas of Thailand I'm quite familiar with their cuisine. While you won't find traditional Thai dishes such as Massaman gai or Khao kha mu, what you will find are variants/fusions of Thai inspired street foods and appetizers, along with Pad Thai, and other tasty rice/noodle based dishes. I've found their Chicken Satay (on a bamboo skewer) to be very good, and right up there with anything I've eaten in Thailand. Tuk Tuk Thai has never claimed to be 100% authentic, nor are they a sit-down dining establishment. Good thing, as I find most of those places in Calgary to be a major disappointment. Tuk Tuk Thai are a fast food wait 'n go type place which is fine by me. The staff are also very friendly. read more

I've had Tuk Tuk many times, tried the majority of the menu, and I'll start out by saying the Devils Chicken and Candied Cauliflower are both 5 star dishes. I'm also a fan of the Red Curry and Beef Masman Curry. The Pad Thai was a bit of a let down for me, I think you need to ask for more sauce on the dish. I also found the spring rolls just average. For the quality of food and the price point, you really can't go wrong with Tuk Tuk though. I'll continue being a customer as long as they're around and keep making delicious food at a good price point. Definitely a go-to for me when I'm looking for a quick Thai fix. read more

Fantastic flavour, food, and service at Tuk Tuk Thai on 17th Ave.SW. Will be back for the Drunken Basa and Pad Thai with chicken satay skewers! The fried banana is awesome as a sweet treat. read more

Tuk Tuk Thai - Thai Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

We ordered the green curry chicken and tamarind chicken for takeout . The green curry was tasty. The tamarind chicken however was dry. And the serving size was around three quarters of the green curry chicken. The place seems to have potential but we won't be back. read more

Ordered from their NW location through Skip. The food arrived cold. I order three chopsticks and got two plastic cutlery sets. The food is inauthentic: the crying tiger dish was sweet, as was the tamarind chicken. The candied cauliflower was smelly and boring. The chicken tenders were what a pub might serve. Same basic one dimensional flavour throughout all their dishes, with zero Asian nuances. Chili Club Thai House is vastly superior. I choked down what I could and tossed out most of my $50 order. Garbage! read more

I literly just walked in to get water with my friend and she gave us a additude and I just confirmed my order and she said I should mind my own business and I should stop talking. and she told us why we didn't get water before because I was holding a slurpee. after that I went to sit down and she have me disrespectful glare and side eye . another person walked in with candy I'm guessing from the dollarama nearby and she started to yell at them. SMH super bad this should be closed the service SUCKED read more

Tuk Tuk has been on my "must try" list for ages. Finally got my opportunity when we were looking for a place to have 1st dinner and pass a bit of time before 2nd dinner (I know I'm not the only one that does this lol) Although catered towards take out (entrees come in cute lotus flower shaped boxes!), we were able to share an order of the veggie springs rolls and tofu pad thai at the bench style tables they have set up. The pad thai was full-flavored, fresh and delish! At $10/entree, you're not breaking the bank and you're getting a great meal too! read more

Absolutely adored this place! We used skip the dishes and our order was fast, and hot- exactly as it should be! I didn't take pics since my fellow Yelpers have posted loads of pics of the cute takeout boxes. We had spring rolls, green chicken curry, ribs, beef and pad thai. All of it was flavourful and tasty. Really enjoyed everything! Will definitely be back again. read more

What's up foodie fam! I'm back again for another quick review. I stopped here for lunch on Friday it was my first time there so I wasn't sure what to expect. First off I'll say the restaurant is very clean and unique, girl behind the counter was cute and friendly. Now let's get to the important part the food... I got the Pad Thai with Chicken it was delicious and PACKED full of flavour. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Keep it up TUK TUK!! read more

What a fun little spot to go get your Thai fix for a great price. I'd only heard good things about this place, then following a late morning coffee just a few doors down, I decided to get some lunch. Before you knew it, I was walking in the door at Tuk Tuk Thai and pulling up a seat at the end of one of their tables. I sat by the door and was able to people watch while I had lunch (which I love to do). Decent amount of choices on the menu, but not overwhelming. It's a takeout place so there are only a few seats available but the seats are great based on the fact this is a take out place. I went simple today and ordered cashew chicken. It arrived in a super cute little flower shaped box. Good size, very flavourful. I'm looking forward to returning and making my way through the menu. The service was good, lots of seating, food was great and price spot on. read more

Unless you like rocks in your pad Thai?? I wouldn't recommend it. Broke my tooth. Why would they have stones in their pad Thai?? Food is very salty and the girl at the front counter really grumpy. I would think twice if you want authentic Thai, I would equate this to Mc Thainolds! read more

Tuk Tuk Thai - Thai Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Cheap and cute containers. Great location for inner-city residents. Pad Thai wasn't flavourful, wouldn't order again. Coconut rice was overcooked. Chicken curry a tad tough, but the price can't be beat for fast food Thai food. I like the soup - light, tangy and flavourful. read more

One would like it to be better, but we can trust your tastebuds, can we not? Went there to check it out, and won't return because nothing special here. Is almost good tasting, but not at all wonderful. Having been to Thailand and eaten Thai in many other venues in AB and abroad, this fast-food just doesn't deliver. Too bad, but won't return. read more

I've seen this place during my numerous passes up and down 17th Avenue over the months and always wondered about what the food tasted like. Well yesterday I had the chance to pop by for a quick pad Thai which was really good and a papaya salad. The papaya salad was fresh, crispy, and full of flavour. A little on the wet sauce side but hey we did finish it easily. The interior was quite mesmerizing where I caught myself staring at the giant Montage that you just don't see these days in food offerings around town. The decorative mini cab vehicles were a nice touch. Price was reasonable at $16ish for the two dishes total. The pad Thai came in their signature take out box that opened like a flower blossom into a dish, kinda cool. read more

A small place, that's beaming with bright colors (especially green). The addition of bright tuk tuk props adds character to the store. The service was friendly, fast and knowledgeable of the menu items. We ordered Thai ice tea, pad Thai and a sticky rice with mango for desert. The presentation was definitely nice especially the way the pad Thai was packaged (see my Instagram post). Although the pad Thai wasn't spicy even though the server told me it is. Regardless it has a nice balance of sweet, sour, and seasoning. The Thai ice tea was superb. Strong taste from the tea and the sweetness from the condense milk. As for the sticky rice with mango, the rice was consistent in soft texture with the right amount of coconut. The mango could be better if it was more ripen. Overall for the price, a little high for me even as a fast food. But food and service quality met expectations. read more

Tuk Tuk is one of my favourite lunch spots when I need something to go, the place is adorable with lots of Thai decorations. The menu prices seemed typical for Calgary and are consistent across most of the dishes. It's great for takeout as the dishes come in cute lotus flower containers and they have handy bags for transport. I've recommended Tuk Tuk to a few different people and they've all really enjoyed their experiences. read more

I tried the chicken Thai soup with beef. Unfortunately it was flavorless. Tasted life water. I have had some other dishes that were flavorful. The problem is it comes in a painted take away dish and that dish effects the taste of the dish. read more

Tuk Tuk Thai - a bowl of soup with noodles - Thai Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

After making my initial review the business owner contacted me and was very helpful to explain their process and offered me the suggesting of asking for more sauce next time. I did that the next time I visited and was blown away by how much more flavourful the pad thai was. It really boosted my taste experience and I've been back many times since (but always ask for more sauce). One of the ladies that works at the counter suggested I tried the Beef Masman Curry. OMG!! Now I have two favourites. The beef masman curry comes with: beef (of course), potatoes and onions, all slow cooked in Masman-style curry. It is delightful. It's soooo good that I crave it almost every day when I drive by the restaurant. I brought my dad here once and it was great because we split the pad thai and beef masman curry. Best of both worlds! I also like how it stays open late, while the rest of the places on that block close down early. read more

Super affordable. All of their entrees are priced at $10! I got the green curry - yummy, tiniest hint of spice, sweet and coconutty. My friends got the pad thai - if you ask for it spicy, it's kick-ass spicy haha. Solid place, huge portions, and so prettily packaged! read more

So Happy 17th Ave aka (the Red Mile) got a new Take Out Thai Place, Tuk Tuk Thai, my new favourite on 17th, I went by a couple days before they opened, even though it was not open to the public, the owners gave me a few samples to taste, everything was delicious and tasty, and they told me their website was up and running tuktukthai.com , I checked it out and made a plan on what I would order first when they opened, so today July 9,2015 I went and ordered Beef Masman Curry w/coconut rice $10 and Ginger Prawns $4 and Fried Bananas $4 and Thai Iced Tea $3, my favourite drink in the whole wide world,...also bought a friend a fresh orange juice, had a hint of ginger. So it was all amazing, and a great value, the decor is amazing as well, I posted some pics, I highly recommend this place! Remember only TAKE OUT, and everything is $10 or under!! Enjoy!! read more

This is a great little Thai place and I've been there a couple of times. The only reason they are only getting 4 stars is that the coconut rice is too mushy for me, I would give this place 4.5 stars out of 5. I prefer the jasmine rice. I overheard the girl at the counter explaining to new staff what coconut rice was and I think the rice is mushy because they cook jasmine rice and then pour coconut milk in to finish it off just before it finishes cooking, that sounds like too much liquid for the rice to me. So far I've had the tukky sticks, green curry chicken, and Kra Prao Beef (The Flames on the menu). The dishes come out freshly prepared and piping hot. The food has a nice spicy kick to it without being overpowering and if you like it really spicy they are happy to bring the heat up a couple of notches. This is definitely fast-food Thai as the tables and chars are large and meant to allow people to have somewhere to sit and eat and they seat between 8-10 people. There is one small table tucked in next to the tuk tuk. The chairs are more bar stools and the tables more like counters. The packaging is definitely eye catching and whether you stay or take-out your main dishes come packaged in cardboard containers that fold into a flower. The flavours are fresh and authentic and I could smell the basil gently wafting through the hole of my flower box. Fresh and fast is what Tuk Tuk Thai is about. Prices are reasonable. There is always some pre-made papaya and mango salads as well as the Thai version of salad rolls waiting in the cooler ready to go. It's a small menu but what they have they do well judging from the items I have had. I'm going to enjoy going through the menu and ordering something different each time I go there. read more

This is surprisingly a great place for food on 17th Avenue. Prices are decent, portions are large and the flavours are amazing. You can either pay twice the price by heading further down the street to Khao San Kitchen or just come here. It's also a bit nicer than Thai Fusion Delight so this place is on the top of my list for 17th Ave Thai food. White Elephant is in its own category so it's hard to compare. Granted, this isn't the full on restaurant setting but you're here for the food right? If you're looking for a bite on 17th Ave and want to try something new, I would highly reco coming by to Tuk Tuk Thai. In fact, I may even drop by after work today. We ordered the cashew chicken just to try something new - very flavourful and the green curry - absolutely delish. Best part is that you have an option of jasmine or coconut rice. The coconut rice comes at no extra charge. Win. Tuk Tuk, will see you tonight. read more

How can you be a restaurant on 17th Ave and charge the prices that Tuk Tuk Thai charges, and provide tasty food with generous portions? I don't know, but I'm glad they're there! My group and I came here for an early dinner and ordered a large amount of food. Hubs and I shared the satay chicken, chicken spring roll, papaya salad as appys and I thought everything was nicely flavorful and well executed. I had the drunken basa as my main and didn't realize there was a bit of heat to it so it was a bit challenging to eat (I am very sensitive to spice) but it was very tasty. My brother's masman beef curry had tender cubes of beef brisket, and the pad Thai's were a huge, generous portion with hints of tamarind sauce. My brother's gf didn't enjoy her Moo Moo Lemon as the citrus taste was too overpowering for her. Overall I think we enjoyed our meals and wouldn't hesitate to come back! read more

Located on the red Solid spot for Thai Food located on the red mile (17th Ave SW).

Walked by this place at first and thought it was an art gallery haha. Tuk Tuk Thai is extremely nice and cozy. Decided to give it a try and was blown away by the flavours. I ordered cashew chicken with jasmine rice and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Thai. The chicken was amazing and so was the pad thai- extremely worth the $10 for sure. The one downside to my visit was the girl who served us at the counter. She was nice but a little too nosy on the personal level which made me feel quite uncomfortable. She asked us many questions about our relationship like where we met, how we met, etc and made unnecessary comments. Other than this awkward situation, I'll be definitely returning to try out some other menu items! read more

Tuk Tuk Thai's price ($10 for an entree) is comparable to the food court's popular pick of Thai Express by being a dollar or two more expensive. While the portions may be smaller, Tuk Tuk Thai makes up for it in quality. I ordered the Beef Masman Curry and definitely agree that it's worth the $10. The curry was flavourful and the beef and potatoes were tender. The only thing that could have been improved was more curry sauce! I would've had no complaints if I could've drench my coconut rice with more curry. Along with that, my friends and I ordered the ginger prawns (2 in an order), chicken satay (2 in an order), and fried tofu as our appetizers to share so that we could try a few more things. All appetizers are $3 each, of which I found a bit pricey for the amount given. However, it was tasty enough that I would recommend trying out a few of the appetizers. When I go to particular BBT shops in Calgary, I'm usually inclined to order the Thai milk tea (half sweet of course), so there was no hesitation when my friend recommended the Thai ice tea. It was the right level of sweetness and a good refreshing drink to finish off the flavourful meal. With an appetizer, main entree and a beverage, I paid $16. I would definitely recommend coming to Tuk Tuk Thai if you're craving some legit Thai food. It's also more affordable than the other dine-in Thai restaurants that you find in Calgary. Another bonus is that it's open late on Fridays and Saturdays, so it makes a great late night alternative after you stumble your way out of a eventful night at the nearest club/bar. read more

Super fast and affordable. The food has great taste and quality. I had the crying tiger beef dish which was awesome.

The food here is tasty and it's a place where I can bring my vegan daughter for lunch. I love the gorgeous panel art on the north wall and the cute little Tuk Tuks used as drink coolers. It reminds me of our time in Thailand, taking a tuk tuk up the mountain to see the giant Buddha with the whole family. Who needs roller coasters when you have tuk tuks....HA! I only gave Tuk Tuk Thai 3 stars because the seating is strange. One long table, one small tall table ( with really short stools...I saw a customer eat his lunch here standing up rather than sitting on the stools because it's awkward), and scattered stools are not adequate. We sat at the end of the long table and froze because the only way in is via a sliding door and it was open a lot. I'm not even going to attempt to visit in the winter...though they do a great take away business. read more

Their famous Lotus boxes are all $12 and you have a choice of brown, jasmine, or coconut rice. The prices are pretty reasonable and it is take out style though there's a number of communal tables. The red curry was faultless, you can choose between tofu or chicken. The balance between toppings and rice was reasonable. And the box is so cute! Strongly recommend if you're craving quick, quality Thai food without the sit down restaurant price sticker. read more

The food is quite authentic ! Love the mango sticky rice and ribs!very fast delivery and very cute packaging

Having been to Thailand myself, I know what good Thai food is: quick, cheap, and delicious. Tuk Tuk Thai is a small place next to 5s17. I found the automatic sliding doors an odd choice, but the place was quaint and beautifully decorated with thai culture. I ordered the chicken pad thai. It came in a very cool origami type to-go container and was aromatic and delicious. Overall, great service and fresh, fast, flavourful food. This place will definitely be my new go-to for Thai food! read more

We used a delivery service and were excited about a new Thai place. The first time they sent the whole wrong order and we had to wait 45 minutes for a new one to be delivered after a 45-50 minute wait for the first order. Ordered again tonight and they forgot one of our items. As it was one item, they offered to put us in their "red book" to get that item next time we order- never corrected it. The food is very good and could have been a great weekly spot, but 0-2 getting your order right is not good business and we won't be back. read more

The food is a bit on the high sodium side so you can ask for less sauce (which helps a lot). The price is good for what you get however my two star review is due to the service provided. I get that it's a mainly "self serve" type of venue...but the cashier taking orders was very rude to me & my friend. I asked if I could substitute the rice in the dish for another option and she looked at me as if I just asked a big favor and mumbled something while waving towards the menu in the back. I also had a water bottle with me since I just came from Goodlife fitness and she said I needed to throw it away and purchase one of their waters if I wanted to drink water. Seriously?! I used to frequent this place a lot and now I would much rather drive farther to another Thai place and for better customer service. read more
