Basil Fried Rice with shrimp
Lex R.

This was my second time dining in and everything was just as good as before. Food was fresh, reasonable portions with enough for leftovers, and staff was nice/attentive! Those shrimp tho

Pad See Ew with tofu
Trish N.

My sister and I were craving thai food and we saw one super close to us in the neighborhood. We placed an order for to go and it was done in 5-10 minutes! The portions were good for their pricing as well. They offer good lunch specials during the week too that I want to come back and try. The hot spice level was perfect for me. The pad see ew was so flavorful and the tofu had a nice crispiness to the outside but soft on the inside. I liked that it wasn't too oily either. The pad thai was a solid choice and the noodle portion was huge.

Neighborhood charm with good service. Nestled between multi other restaurants (try the Jamaican spot next door). I have been wanting to try this place for a while, so it had been on my list. Happy to see the reviews are pretty solid. Seems like a great place to grab lunch, probably the main attraction. Came here for the first time with my family around 7p. The place was pretty dead, but it was a weekday evening, so maybe the crowd had left. I wasn't mad at this at all. Because it equaled fast and exclusive service. Service - was great, our lovely server Pam was kind, she had a grandma deminure, so sweet. Not sure if Pam is the owner, but I will find out more my next visit. All food came out hot and tasty. She gave us recd's on spice level and items to order. Food- we did family style. Ordered pork egg rolls, seafood fried rice, entree cashew with the combo meat of beef, shrimp, chicken. And the curry which came with white rice. Plenty of takeaway. For sure will be back. Thanks Pam!

Pad See Ew
Herman L.

Easy quick lunch here. Staff is super friendly and can't beat the price for the lunch specials. Portions sort of reflect the lunch size but it's enough. Flavors are great and the medium spice level has a good kick. No frills and just good food.

L Ginger (not available after 3pm)

I pass this place daily on the way to work! I finally tried the lunch special ginger beef steamed rice plate for $11. Portion was a bit small but the beef was very tasty. My friend got lunch special chicken panang curry and that was definitely too small and not filling. The curry was alright, nothing special. We both got medium, and the spice level was actually accurate. The complimentary tap water was not good. While food was good, I think there are other places that I can get more for the same amount of money.

Pad Thai
Katherine D.

Came during the lunch special and I think it's definitely worth it. It's a good portion size for the price and it was really good! I really like the pad Thai and pad see ew and the green curry. We were greeted and able to order as soon as we got there and the servers were super attentive. It's a nice little restaurant in a strip, super easy to go to and meet w friends. Definitely going again

Pad Kee Mow with beef
Shannon T.

Loved this place the first time I tried it, and it continues to be a staple place to go! This time, I tried the pad kee mow with beef and drunken macaroni. I got it without spice, and both dishes tasted delicious with a nice basil flavor. They tasted actually very similar and basically have the same ingredients. I opted for no spice but I think it'd be more delicious with just a little added spice. The portions are huge and always so delicious!! 10/10 recommend supporting them!

Cheese Puff
Emily L.

I walked in right when it opened and was greeted by the cashier. I placed a togo order and it was ready in about 5 minutes! That was pretty quick! I thoroughly enjoyed the wontons. Crispy in the edges and great filling to dough ratio. I felt like the pad Thai could use a little more flavor. I still enjoyed it but it was just missing something. The store was located in a nice outdoor strip mall with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant.

New Thai restaurant in the med center area! This restaurant is located in a shopping center between a barbershop and a gas station. They area kind of gives shade tree but once inside the restaurant the vibes are good! The woman at the counter is very friendly. I ordered the Thai basil with white rice and some veggie egg rolls! Very fresh and well seasoned! The egg rolls come in a 4 pack and they are definitely cooking with fresh oil because they were great! As pictured you get a good sized portion of food! I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

Thai Iced Tea
Ashley G.

Super excited that this new Thai restaurant is in the neighborhood. I can see this becoming the new neighborhood Thai gem. Tuk Tuk is located in a pretty sketchy strip center so I wouldn't recommend going late at night if you are the cautious type but other the area is harmless with plenty of parking. The inside area has a lot of seating and the restaurant was super clean. I came during lunch so I ordered off the lunch menu with included a veggie eggroll. I ordered the l-2 pad see ew- medium heat! The medium heat was described perfectly! The spice was just enough where it didn't make nose run but enough spice to complement the dish. The pad see ew was very tasty for its price point. I will be back! The staff were super friendly as well.

Thai ice tea!
Dia T.

Just opened 2 months ago. Owner is so nice and welcoming! Food had great flavor and "aight" portion sizes.

Pad Kee Mow (lunch special with beef, $11) -- comes with a veggie spring roll, delightfully spicy and savory :)
Wendy T.

4 out of 5 stars but bumping it up since it's a new small, local business! Spotted this little restaurant in an area devoid of Thai (and Asian in general) food and was quite excited~ FYI, "tuk tuk" are those 3-wheel taxis that shuttle people around in Thailand. The menu has papaya salad, mango sticky rice, crab fried rice, green curry, and pad thai / pad see ew / pad kee mao options-- my favorites that I like to gauge a Thai place on. They have nice lunch special options priced around $11-12 too! I ordered a takeout order of the Pad Kee Mao with Beef lunch special, and it was ready super quickly! And even after the 20+ minutes until I sat down, the noodles were warm and still a soft + chewy consistency. "Mild" spicy definitely has a kick, so you've been warned! The flavor was super savory and spicy with a little sweet. The beef wasn't overcooked, and I liked the little bits of vegetables and egg. The basil flavor was awesome :D The lunch portion was pretty sizeable; I can't imagine what the dinner portion looks like (big!). The lunch special came with a little vegetable egg roll which was tasty and the wrapper still somehow held up through steaming in the container, but it wasn't anything that I would specifically order a la carte. So happy Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen is so close to the gym, looking forward to more perfect post-workout meals! If you're in the area, definitely stop by. The area can be a little daunting/sketch at night (day time is fine :P), but the little restaurant is clean and the people are friendly. Check them out for some tasty noods-- I'm coming back more and to try the other menu items!

Phad Thai Shrimp
Ivy L.

A fairly new Thai restaurant in the med center! Owned and run by the sweetest Thai couple, I came over here to discuss catering options for our company work event. Though they don't have a written catering menu, we discussed options for large trays of food! It averaged about $90/large tray and $55/$60 for small tray depending on the protein! We ordered a large platter of Phad Thai, a large platter of Phad Kee Mao, a small red curry, a small pineapple fried rice and a small Tuk Tuk fried rice! We also got 5 orders of fried dumplings and 5 orders of veggie eggrolls! It fed ~50 people with lots left over! Everyone raved about the food and how good it was! Some folks asked for the info so they can go back themselves! I think everyone enjoyed the options! The restaurant is newly remodeled so very nice! Owners are so friendly! Support local businesses - this place was authentic and delicious!

Not bad for a local Thai eatery! Not for the connoisseur of Thai food but it will do.. very spicy even if you ask for regular.

I've only got to-go from here once, and from what I remember, the wait wasn't too bad. The parking is quite difficult since the lot is so small. To share, we got an order of crispy veggie spring rolls and a bowl of tom kha with chicken. Both always hit the spot. Some Thai spots make tom kha too salty but I think this one is seasoned well. We also ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen with tofu. So delicious! The portions are pretty generous, so we had a good amount to take home.

I went into this restaurant with a big group. I ordered a thai iced tea and a pad see ew…read more Pad See Ew - It was very soft, sweet, and smoky just the way I like it. I ordered it with beef, and the beef was very tender and not dry at all. Furthermore, the overall dish has the wok hay flavor and was one of my favorite pad see ews I've ever had. Thai Iced Tea - it was your average thai iced tea where it wasn't mixed at first(which I think is a sign of authenticity!) and sweet at the perfect level with condensed milk. What makes this a four star was that the service was a little iffy in my opinion. Even though we were in a large group which makes it harder for waiters to order, the waiter stared at one of my friends and started mumbling despite him already ordering which made it pretty awkward.

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

This restaurant shares a parking lot with the Hobbit Cafe so space can be a little tight/limited…read more Despite it being a Friday night, my friend and I were able to be seated right away. For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice! The mango was soft/sweet, the rice and sauce had that salty coconutty flavor. Aside from the delicious food, the interior is cozy and the waiters here were friendly and gave great advice on what to order. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving good thai food!

They have that street food vibe as a well representation of their name, Rim Tanon, which means roadside. With dedicated parking that fills up quick during peak times, it may be difficult to locate parking as it is shared with a few other restaurants and the spaces are quite tight. We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
