Went in while traveling on business getting there about 5pm. It scared me that I was the only one but on a positive note the service and attention was fast. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and the portion size was good and the food felt fresh. I think my actual eating should be a 3.5 but no rounding on yelp. If I lived local I would eat it on occasion. Traveling here for business only 1-2 times a year I would likely choose something new. read more

Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen - Drunken noodles. - Thai Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

I love this place so much. Everything I've had has been awesome. The crab fried rice and appetizer sampler ( lcant remember the actual name) are two things that stand out the most. Oh and any of the duck dishes too! Definitely go if you haven't been. This is a Thai place that stands out in an area lacking great similar options. read more

Food has been amazing and the staff is friendly and family oriented. The atmosphere is laidback with just enough flair. The cook and most of the staff are Thai so it's authentic. Have been many times and I travel 30 minutes to get there but it's worth it. read more

We were waiting for a family member to get through her surgery at Paoli Hospital. Mt grandson suggested Thai so we ordered from Tuk Tuk. It was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I especially enjoyed the wonton soup. read more

Absolutely a must if you are looking for authentic Thai food! I was a student at wcu and they had a food truck that attended campus for a while. I am SO SO happy I found the restaurant so I can continue to get my shrimp fried rice!! Always quick and attentive to all guests and such a cute place! Cannot say enough good read more

We love, love, love this restaurant. The food here is so delicious. Every time we go here, we order so much food because we like everything and cannot decide on one dish. This time we had the Fresh Spring Rolls, Golden Pockets, Tom Yum Soup, Thai Basil - Street Style Beef, Crabmeat Fried Rice, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Massaman Curry with Chicken. One reason we order so much food is that we usually get 3 or 4 meals out of the large serving sizes. Furthermore, the food still tastes really good the day after. The servers are always extremely friendly. The decor is Thai-themed including the namesake Tuk-Tuk in one corner of the dining room. Definitely the go-to place for Thai food in my book. read more

We have been regular customers at this restaurant for last three years, ordering takeout almost every week. The food portions got smaller over time, but we continued to support them . Today was the last straw - the takeout portion was so small, it was like a side salad. We wouldn't mind paying more to cover raising costs. Will look for another Thai restaurant. read more

I've honestly lost track of how many times I've dined in here, but Tuk Tuk is an absolutely favorite! I have to say the crying tiger steak looks different than it used to when I had it for the first time, and it didn't come out steaming hot on a skillet. And we had to request the E-san sauce (but it's worth asking for it!) We also had a slight mix up with one of the proteins we had originally requested, but it's understandable. It was especially busy due to the holidays, and they were a bit short staffed. Despite that, the staff were still very attentive and cordial. Quick update -- the butterfly pea tea is no longer on the menu, but there are other new menu items! The crepe cakes are fantastic. I've had both the matcha and mango crepe cake slices. Super delicious without being too sweet. Perfect dessert to wrap up a meal! read more

Really delicious Thai spot in Malvern. The service was really fast and they had a great lunch menu!

Absolutely disappointed. We were really craving some flavorful Thai food and decided to give this place a try. Big mistake. Every single entree we ordered had ZERO flavor. Like, genuinely none. The drunken noodles tasted like warm, with no depth, no kick, no flavor , nothing - just bland! The basil fried rice basically flavorless, mushy uncooked rice with some sad vegetables floating around. The meats were the worst part. The beef in the basil stir-fry & drunken was rubbery and chewy like it had been boiled for hours then left in a hot car. The beef was mushy and fell apart in a gross, over-tenderized way - zero texture, zero taste. It's like they forgot to season ANYTHING and also forgot how to cook protein properly. Portions were okay, but that's the only neutral thing I can say. For the prices they're charging ($17 per entree), this is straight-up not worth a single dollar of anyone's hard-earned money. I've had better Thai from other places. Save yourself the regret and go somewhere else. Anywhere else. 1/5 stars, and that's being generous because the server was nice. read more

I ordered the Pad Kra Pao (Thai Basil) with pork, the protein was well cooked and seasoned. It had the right amount of spice and I like the variety of ingredients it felt balanced. The interior is super cute, I could see it being popular for date nights. Service was decent we were checked up a good amount of times and our waters were always filled, food came out in a timely manner. Food was good but nothing that makes me want to go out of my way for. read more

1. Sloppy wrapped fresh spring rolls, looks like a failed work, doesn't meet restaurant standards at all, and only two shrimps inside. 2. Watery minced port (Pad Krapow Moo), tastes like they tossed the cooked pork and source not really stir-fried them. read more

This place is incredible! There was almost no one sitting in the restaurant (i went on a Monday) but it seems like they do a lot of takeout! The food was delicious, their fresh rolls were the best thing I've ever tasted and the peanut sauce was quite literally to die for! Service was quick and it had a very peaceful vibe inside. Would recommend to absolutely everyone! read more

I would say that this restaurant is either a hit or a miss. The appetisers are just ok but the entree was where we had mixed experience. The sauté was mediocre but the massamam curry was pretty good. Feel free to try this Thai restaurant. Your might either like it or hate it! I definitely had mixed feels so rated it a 2/5. read more

*Indoor dining review* We heard about this new Thai restaurant opened for over a year, it used to be another Thai restaurant. We decided to give it a try, while the food is good (besides the minor issue), the service needs some work. Restaurant: 4/5 Service: 1/5 Food: 4/5 Parking: Free parking lot ~Restaurant~ The restaurant is nicely decorated, everything's clean. However it feels very open, there's no screens or dividers between any of the tables. When we visited, people were shouting to each other from one end of the restaurant to another. ~Service~ The service was...not so good. We walked in 5 minutes before our reservation, the hostess had no idea we even had a reservation, but sat us down anyway. They cleaned our table just before we sat down, but never brought us any napkins or silverware. After we ordered our food and our appetizer arrived, we still didn't get our napkin or silverware. We had to get another waiter/waitress to bring us napkin and silverware, they did bring us silverware, but no napkin, we had to ask again for napkin. Our water was never refilled, there were almost no "Check-In on us". The owner seemed way more interested in chatting up a storm with their regulars than server customers. ~Food~ Most of what we ordered was delicious apart from the minor issue with Appetizer. What we ordered: -Appetizer Platter (Very yummy, apart from the Golden Pocket, it is supposed to be Pitta bread stuff with Chicken, there was no Chicken to be found. We had to double check the menu to make sure it is correct. We decided not to say anything, considering the service provided or in this instance not provided) -Chicken Red Curry (Good, beware this is one of the spicier Curry compare to others) -Seafood Masaman Curry (Very good, this is the least Spicy curry for anyone that does not like Spicy food. Right after I started eating, one of the waiter brought out the scallop that they forgot to cook for this dish in a bowl. Cook in a rush? No idea) In conclusion, I would come back just for takeout, and not dine-in. Since the food is quite good and they are in a convenient location. read more

overall: If you love Thai spicy, this is IT! I L O V E this place, so fresh, good, and AUTHENTIC. Hands down best Thai food I've had in the Philadelphia region. Best thing is that you can get dishes in THAI STREET STYLE (Thai spicy in mild, medium, or hot) that's off the menu!!! All you have to do is ask for the dish to be made in street style. The chef is from Thailand. Prices here are reasonable, what more could you ask for? If this place opened in Philly, it would for sure be a hit. I've been here at least once a month and it's been 5 STARS EVERY TIME! and it's BYOB :) My go to order: Larb salad + green curry Thai basil fried rice (street style) Service: Friendly and attentive, may get busy at times Ambiance: kid friendly, quiet, relaxing Tip: get your dish in Thai street style/spicy if u like spicy!! BYOB. WARNING: once you try this place, you will get addicted LOL read more

The pad thai noodles was very tasty, but could've been packed a like better. Peanut and sauce should be in separate from pad thai noodles. Pho, tasted excellent. Seasoning and sauce was just the right amount to make it have that nice smell and taste. The only things was wrong they give the wrong meatballs, the used more like spaghetti meatballs. Also the mint leaves,bean sport and lime should've also been package separately. Sticky rice mango was good but couple pieces was brownish. Beside these small mishap... Taste is very good. read more

Five stars for my recent lunch experience. I was impressed by the swift and very polite service. For under $13, the lunch special offered an great value, featuring a spring roll, a cup of tomato soup, and a flavorful chicken over rice with Thai seasoning. With options to dine in, sit outside, or take out, this spot is perfect for a satisfying lunch within a busy schedule. read more

I did carry out of a few dishes here and they were all very good. The ginger sautéed vegetables had great flavor. The green papaya salad was made not super spicy as requested. The pork fried rice had really high-quality pork and tasted good all around. The pad Thai wasn't the best and I was a little bit disappointed that the rice with the ginger vegetables was the smallest I had ever gotten at any Asian carryout place, but overall was pretty happy with the food and go again. Also, it was a little expensive, but the portion sizes were good. read more

Looks nice inside. Did takeout. Food ok. Thai beef jerky is a little different. Like jerky, on the drier side.

Simply amazing food! Fresh, flavorful and beyond the typical menu items. The Khao soi is officially my new favorite- yellow curry with noodles, veggies, crispy noodles... delicious! The staff is also consistent and friendly. This is our favorite Thai place in the area and we drive past others to get here! read more

We stopped at this place for lunch, and they are on lancaster Ave with ample parking. Interior decoration is very good as you enter, and the seating arrangement is nice, too. The flavor is too strong as you ejterbthe restaurant. We were greeted and seated. We wanted to try their Thai basil fried rice, and it was not on lunch special menu, so we ordered one red curry sauce with white rice, vegetarian soup, and veg spring rolls Then we ordered Thai basil fried rice from the menu. Soup was probably the least favorite and no flavor at all. Spring rolls qas good but little oily. Then we also ordered tea, which is very good. Thai basil we received was the best , full of flavor and right portion. Towards the end, we didn't even leave a grain of fried rice. Thai red curry with rice was very tasty and rich if coconut milk flavored. All in all, we will try this place again and will try bee dishes. If you are there, definitely try their basil friend rice !!! read more

I came here with my boyfriend. I love how this place looks from the menu to the decor. It has a cultural and modern appeal. The restaurant looks clean and orderly. The curry puff is very delicious. We also had crab curry and khao sao, and both were really good. I like how spicy the crab curry was. Lastly, the mango sticky rice was delicious. Mango was ripe and sweet. Boyfriend really like the sticky rice. The service was friendly, but could be a bit faster. Overall, a good experience. read more

I had the Kuo dish, which was very very bland and the second person in the party had the steak. He also thought the meal lacked taste. wewon't be visiting again, it could have just been a one-off in the kitchen that night. A lot going on the dining room read more

Was in for dinner was not too bad I would put it as average nothing special. The bathrooms are horrible just nasty

Was excited to try Tuk Tuk after reading the reviews. It is in a location that had another Thai restaurant for decades. Same strip mall as Jimmy's BBQ, Nudy's, etc. Ordered the Pork & Holy Basil Stir-fry (Pad Kra Pao), street style, which is "authentically spiced" and if you have not had Thai food in Thailand, you might also find it a bit sour and salty but this is normal. The authentic spice level may be too much for the average American palate but if you can handle the heat and the flavor punches, go for it - it was the closest to the Pad Kra Pao I had in the streets of Bangkok. Comes with a fried egg with crispy edges and a runny yolk. My only minor complaint was that part of the rice seems a bit dry as though it had been plated a while. The dish would have been a 10/10 if the rice was a bit or moist or if I went for the sticky rice. Also got the Phuket crab curry to go. Did not see this on the menu (might be on there) but remembered it from a review. Did not disappoint and you can tell that the curry paste was homemade by the kernels of ground toasted coriander and other spices you will find in the curry. They used generous amounts of jumbo lump crab meat but next time I might try a protein that can stand up to the bold curry and enjoy the sea-sweet crab in another preparation. Can't wait to go back and already planning a reason to be in the area so that I can have lunch or snag another take-away from the family-run diamond in the rough that is Tuk Tuk. read more

We arrived on Saturday night as a party of 8 without a reservation and armed with a birthday cake... they were so amazing accommodating us and eager to help make the occasion a success! The food was FANTASTIC, and they were great about providing plates, forks, candles, etc for our brought-in cake (so many restaurants aren't as welcoming with outside cakes anymore). Beautiful space and fantastic service!! We've been here before and loved it, but they really shined with a large table! read more

Came here with high hopes and a recommendation, but unfortunately, we never experienced it. Came in on a weekend evening at 7:30 PM. Place was a good bit busy and they seemed as unorganized as could be. Looked like opening night. Both patrons and employees seemed confused, many tables sitting there trying to flag down wait staff for attention. After standing for 5-6 minutes we were acknowledged, they needed time to wipe down one of MANY dirty tables, and we were then escorted to a table. We were given waters and then we waited..and waited....for 20 minutes!!! Nothing. Waitstaff buzzing around us, not even looking at us, (including what appeared to be the manager) no one came by to say they'd be with us soon, and we just sat there (with a small child that was hungry nonetheless). After 20 minutes, we slowly got up and walked out wondering if anyone would flag us down to stop. Nope. Walked by a cart still full of dirty dishes right next to 2 tables that were eating for the entire time we were there. Maybe they were short staffed, but we know if we stayed, IF we were ever paid attention to, that food would have taken forever. Saw 3 people complain of wrong orders or the long wait in the last 5 minutes we were there. 2 tips: - Hire more staff or have mgmt jump in more - Don't open if you can't support a 2/3 full restaurant, as its unfair to the people coming, thinking they are going to have a good experience Maybe the food is good, but I don't have a month to wait to find out! read more

Haven't had good Thai in ages, so decided to try this little place in Malvern. The decor is gorgeous, a big surprise given the unassuming strip mall interior. I was really happy to see "street style" pad ka prow (minced chicken basil stir fry) which I haven't seen in years. Taste was completely perfect and I really enjoyed it. My wife got yum nua (beef salad) and was slightly unhappy with it because the dressing went pretty heavy on tamarind and she's more accustomed to just lime juice. The preparation was otherwise fresh and good quality, just a personal preference. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely return for a date night. read more
