We had not been here for years and years but I was in the mood for a change from the pizza-burger-Mexican cycle, and recent reviews were good, so off we went for a Saturday night dinner. The first thing I noticed is that the restaurant had contracted in size. Last time we went it had acquired the space next door so the restaurant was quite large. Now, it is small and cozy, with about a dozen tables of different sizes. The ambiance is classic and traditional, with many pictures and paintings of Thailand on the walls. The overall feel was very authentic and comforting. Ambiance is 5 stars The food was good--a solid 4 stars. We liked the steamed pork dumplings and the chicken satay was moist and tender, not at all dry. Both the wife and I liked our curries. I asked for "not too spicy" on mine but it was very spicy, I was sweating and could not eat very much of it. We got veggie fried rice for the kid and it was excellent. The main downfall was the service. It was rather bizarre. We were seated and immediately given menus. Then we waited a good 20 minutes for our order to be taken. After the order was given, our food came out in about 5 minutes and all at once--both appetizers and all entrees. After we finished, we waited for to go boxes. Then I waited another 20 minutes for the bill, even though I asked for the bill when the boxes were brought. All in all, it was a 1.5 hour dinner. The only time I want to spend 1.5 hours on a dinner is if margaritas and tequila are involved. The problem was understaffing. There was one person to wait all 12 tables, and one person to fill water glasses. I assume that they were the owners. 1 star on service. We will return because the food was flavorful, but be aware that this restaurant is the antithesis of fast food. Plan to stay a good long time. read more

Great family cooked Thai food. Wish they were open every fay for lunch. A+ Lake Highlands neighborhood establishment.

Came in during lunch, only to find out they don't have a lunch menu (but you get a thin egg roll). But I was craving their food, so we stayed. They make every dish fresh to order! I also noticed the place smells fresher than last time I was in, so they do read the reviews :). read more

Craving Thai in my area at the time, came across this place on Google. Great reviews so in route I go. 8 pm-ish, not a soul inside. A giant of a man came from outta nowhere! Super friendly and accommodating! He asked what I liked. Very helpful and patient. I basically let him pick it. Steamed dumplings for starters. Absolutely delicious! Fresh and great tasting! Flat noodle for my main, sweet and spicy! Thought about licking the plate! Very small and unassuming joint, very Thai in decorative pictures and furniture. It was perfect. Thai tea was so good! Very reasonable pricing and generous portions! Very family oriented joint! Great conversation with who I believe to be the owner. I left happy , full and a smile on my face. Hidden gem in Lake Highlands! Check it out! I will be back! read more

Been ordering from this restaurant for over 20 years, their food is delicious (though Thai food is never cheap). Consistently good tasting dishes. Everyone does pad thai, but their other dishes taste yummy and authentic. Haven't dined inside since Covid but they have several booths. The place shares a block with a 7-11 and other small businesses. It's a family-run business and I like to support them when I'm in the mood for good thai food. read more

Great food and service to be found at this Lake Highlands gem! Bring your wine and enjoy!

Great food! Great service! Quaint, quiet, personal service! Love it! Intimately small. Flavorful dishes , nice portions, spices not over done. Small staff but friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable about dishes and delightful. Want to celebrate with your own desserts? They're welcome. You'll enjoy your visit. read more

One of my favorite dining experiences! The inside is decked out in beautiful decor and thai art head to toe. It's gorgeous in there. The service is always excellent, they even pack up your leftovers which i dont see that often anymore. Some of the best thai in the city, you've got to go if you're into thai food. Also don't forget its byob, which brings a really fun energy to the experience! read more

Absolutely love this place! We've had several different dishes and they've all been great! Very authentic! Would not recommend if you're picky or aren't used to lots of flavor! One of my favorites is the fried curry rice! And even the basic Pad Thai is great! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered: Thai Country Hot & Spicy Chili paste, carrot, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, bamboo shoot, zucchini and basil. This lil gem is something nice in tiny little strip mall. The inside is covered in awesome Thai memorabilia. Very clean as well. Service was amazing! Now on to the GRUB!!! I skipped on the rice so he added extra veggies and for no charge. What a guy right! Food came super quick and was extremely tasty. Also came with a yellow curry soup of some sort which too was off the CHAIN! I'd write more but it's slowing down the ingestion of goodness. Highly recommend! read more

Tukta Thai - Thai Country Hot & Spicy 11.95 Chili paste, carrot, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, bamboo shoot, zucchini and basil. - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Service was excellent here! We were seated as soon we got in and given a glass of water with a quarter slice of orange! The atmosphere feels authentic. The server gave us the menu, the right amount of time to look over it, and came back to take our order. Turns out!!! Our server was the owner! What! Coolness. He tells me he cooks, cleans and does it all with the help of his family and a fellow chef! He says he's been open for 23 years. Amazing. Everything came out quickly. Here is what we ordered and thoughts on each dish: - Fried Tofu: The tofu's level of crispiness is perfect! Crispy outside and soft inside. And the sauce is what makes it. It's sweet and spicy with a bit of a kick. Really enjoyable. - Pad Thai Lunch Special: For under $9 dollars, the size is just the right amount to fill me up. It tastes different than what I imagine Pad Thai to be, but it is so flavorful! Both my husband and I really like it! The owner told me this is their most popular dish and they cook it fresh every order. - Panang Curry Lunch Special: This one was good as well! A little spicy, but doable. I got it with shrimp, and the shrimp was so good. However -- being honest. I don't think I would get this dish again, but it's worth a try for my first time. The Pad Thai just blew it out of the water. The lunch specials come with soup and an egg roll too. We also thought about the mango sticky rice, but the gentleman was nice and told us the mangos they have aren't sweet right now. It's winter and not in season so that makes sense. I love that he went and checked for us. He didn't force the sale and cares about the final product. I would come back again! And next time I'll be excited to try the mango sticky rice dessert! read more

The food came out timely but everyone who ordered curry was confused because the curry looked like chicken noodle soup broth. There was no curry to it. read more

Great food and service, local nice family. Excellent menu selection and flavors. We tried plenty of foods and they even had quick service on Christmas Eve. read more

This is a great little family owned Thai restaurant in East Dallas. Due to Covid they have closed their dining room. You can still walk in and order or call ahead. Their prices are reasonable relative to the portion sizes. I enjoy the Thai Basil with spice level 2. Be sure to ask them to explain the spice levels. The food reheats well as well! I also really liked their fried dumplings, they have a cilantro dipping sauce. Parking is easy with a large parking lot. They take cash or credit card and are pretty quick at turning things around after ordering. read more

First time ordering takeout from Tukta. The food was hot and delicious. Just the right amount of seasoning. Loved the spring rolls.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Dallas. Long time favorite. We have been frequenting Tukta sine our now grown boys were little. Always, fresh and tasty, priced right and the family service is top shelf. Please support them now more than ever. read more

Love the ambiance, service, quality of food. A few things weee a little on the sweet side, but I chalk that up to personal taste and choice of entree read more

Dependable and good Thai restaurant. Quite solid and to-go orders are a great option; the dining area is smaller post-COVID. Curry dishes can be tricky on take-away orders because they don't employ deli containers or good to-go boxes, just styrofoam clam-type boxes so be mindful of messy retrievals. Tom Kha soup and pad Thai are favorites and consistent. read more

I went here with my boyfriend on a Thursday night around 6pm. Parking was easy, the place had a few other customers in and also people picking up to go orders. The service was quick, consistent, and accurate. Our water cups never went dry, the employees were also very friendly and prompt. We ordered: Corn Fritters Chicken with curry Chicken with eggplant Thai iced tea Mango and sticky rice The portions were large enough for sharing but we were hungry so we ate most of it all. We did have some for leftovers though. The food was served hot and fresh. The corn fritters (4 for $6.00~) were delicious- slightly sweet and served with a sweet sauce. The chicken curry was spicy and had bamboo shoots, bell pepper, and zucchini. The chicken eggplant was delicious and had eggplant and bell peppers. This was not spicy. The Thai iced tea wasn't too sweet and the flavors were just right. The mango sticky rice!!!!! So good! They also boxed up our leftovers for us which was great service. Would definitely recommend! read more

My husband found this place first. Been here maybe three times (more or less). The staff/chef was always nice and friendly. With my special request (vegetarian with no onion and garlic, no fish sauce, etc.), I can manage to find some homemade food. The food is fresh. Love the Thai decoration. read more

Tukta Thai - Pad Thai vegetarian style - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I must say, my babe did so well to bring us here after years of being told what a great place this is. I've been in the mood for a good Indian curry and admittedly have been afraid of Thai cuisine because I'm not big on SPICE, but this place is truly awesome. You get five star, highly attentive service with take out prices for food clearly cooked with love! Many other restaurants need to take notes because our food came out in less than 15 minutes, our every need was catered to promptly (and without demand) and I'm truly pleased to have encountered this gem among a humble lil neighborhood in Dallas! Can't wait to come back and try more. P.s. My babe thoroughly enjoyed a 4 STAR HEAT rated crazy noodle dish although others have complained about the food being too hot, we were recommended a 2.5 star, but assured the nice gent that she could handle more lol... Good stuff! read more

My new go to Thai place! I had heard it was good but we had never stopped in before until last week. We got the Thai sandwich appetizer which was so unique and delicious. It kind of tasted like French toast but then the sauce and veggies on the side you put on top made it even better. Then I got the crazy noddles the hottest possible and it actually made my lips burn. That is always my goal when going to Thai places so they succeeded!! My husband got the pad Thai which he loved as well, he's not into the heat like I am but both dishes had amazing flavor. We can't wait to go back! read more

Place is amazing, it is my top place for Thai food now, their spicy is very spicy though so choose the number wisely

We dined here late on a Sunday night. The food was good and I would go back again without hesitation. We ordered four dishes, and we especially liked the Tom Yam soup with Shrimp and the Pud Thai with Chicken. The Pud Thai was sweeter than I expected, but still very good. We ordered medium Thai heat in our dishes, and I added Thai spices to my servings. That really kicked it up another notch (Bam Bam would have been proud). The putting green in the back is great idea to pass time while you wait. We were the only customers at 9:00 pm on Sunday so our dinner was served quickly. One important note, Tukta Thai is in a dry county so you would need to bring your own adult beverage(s). read more

Awesome food. Generous portions. Numerous menu items. Consistent quality. Appreciate that they accommodate special vegetarian options.

Been coming to Tukta Thai ever since I was little!! My mom even had her 40th birthday party there. The food is amazing and the service is incredible. We love the corn fritters, fried rice, pad prik king, and the best.... green bean surprise (it's off the menu) I moved to LA but every time I come home I HAVE to get my Tukta Thai fix! read more

I was feeling under the weather and order some Tom yum soup as it usually help my sinus. I never taste such a bad taste Tom yum soup before. All I can taste in that soup is sour & salty! My husband ordered their fried rice before and said he didn't recommended that place as well. Won't go back to that restaurant. read more

a local secret, and now my favorite! Large portions, fresh food and friendly owner. Will definitely be back!

Our go-to Thai place in the area. Have tried many different dishes and are never disappointed. Crazy noodles are probably our favorite.

Tukta never disappoints. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it totally worth it? YES. Excellent service. Amazing flavors. Quick preparation. I'm so glad this family-owned gem survived the pandemic. read more

Pad thai is delicious, and the perfect 'level 3 spicy'. I usually have leftovers with pad thai, but not with this place, it's just that good. read more
