Love the pineapple fried rice combo. So good. I love that its a restaurant and you can still call to go. The workers are very nice. The price is perfect

Tuk Tuk is my go to spot for Thai food in the neighborhood. Always friendly staff and great food and portions! Favorites are the Panang curry and Thai beef salad.

Nothing too exciting. Food took forever to arrive.

Excellent portion sizes for the money. However, I’ve never eaten pineapple fried rice that was more flavorless and unremarkable. Even a dash of soy sauce wasn’t enough to make it delicious, and pineapple friend rice is among my favorite Thai dishes. The shrimp was a bit overcooked, the pineapple somehow had no flavor, and the veggies were clearly from a bag of frozen mixed veg – I’ve never seen corn in any Thai dish before. Hubby prefers Japanese fare so we also got some chicken yakisoba. It was just as bland as the rice. The vegetables were better than in the rice, quite good in fact. Overall, though, the dish was pretty«meh». Not impressed, but not repulsed either. And for $ 20 we got a LOT of(rather boring) food. So there’s that at least.

This is my general neighborhood Thai joint. This is where I call in to order Tom Yum soup when I’m getting sick or on the go. They are fast and friendly and have never messed up an order. Average prices and if you’re in the neighborhood it’s probably the best Thai close to us! Support local business!

I live less than a 5 minute drive from here, so it’s always my go-to for when I need to eat out. Their pad thai is very good, though I have heard for it to be inconsistent in quality(too dry sometimes, too mushy sometimes, and I have a friend who got bones in her chicken pad thai). For the appetizers, I like the fish cakes. Served with a great sweet and sour(or sweet chili something I don’t remember the name). Food has always been great for me but service deserves 2 stars on its own.

So I like this place and am not quite sure why the reviews aren’t higher. Yes, the food is a little inconsistent at times, but for the price and portion size, it’s as good as it gets. The had all the usual Thai fare and even some unique specials with fun names. If you like peanut sauce, this is the place to come! Many of their dishes feature it and they are NOT stingy at all. I love their salad rolls with lemongrass chicken(Rockin Rolls, I think is the name), their peanut sauce, and noodle dishes. The quality of the pad Thai can vary depending on the evening and it tends to run on the sweeter side, but it hits the spot. The fried rice was tasty and quite a generous potion. If you like sweeter flavors, the pad see ew and pad Kai are delicious! I would recommend getting a side of peanut sauce with these. They have a nice selection of salads and vegetarian options. I wouldn’t call the service friendly, but they are attentive and fast. It’s a nice casual place for a quick dinner, kid friendly, and never a long wait.

Do not let the interior or ambiance deter or fool you. This is phenomenal traditional Thai food. An appetizer, three entrees(huge portions — none of us could finish our plates), two glasses of wine and two beers totaled $ 46.50. Very reasonable for truly extraordinary food. I will be back!

Something light, yet satisfying. Thai food is normally what I’m thinking when I think that. Never been here before and was quite surprised to see the hostess perform as the only waitress within the establishment. It was dinner time, you’d think you’d get another helping hand with the decent crowd already seated when I got there. I hate to admit it, but whenever I get Thai food, I always go for either Pineapple Fried Rice or Pad Thai. Sometimes I like what I like, but I decided to go for a change this time around. I ordered the Gang Ka-ree(#53) which was just a yellow curry with vegetables and a bowl of rice. With any dish you order, you have your choice of selecting your level of spicy(1 – 5 stars). I’m still building up that spicy tolerance so I went for the mild(1 star)… When I dug in, it was surprisingly spicy! My poor boyfriend chose 2 stars for his Pineapple Fried Rice and even he thought it was too hot too handle. I wish that the waitress had warned us that 1 star probably equated to 3 stars at any other Thai restaurant. The curry was delicious, but the potatoes in it could’ve been cooked a bit longer. They were still pretty raw in my opinion. I wouldn’t say no to eating here again, but I feel like I could have a better experience elsewhere. I’m very indifferent to this place. Meh is probably the right word.

Pang Nang curry. Yum! Perfect quick lunch on the run. The rice was fragrant & swam in warm curry, loaded with chicken & spicy peppers. We had the fried Spring rolls & they were crisp to a perfection. Our waitress was attentive & quick. Would definitely go back and try more dishes when I’m not on the run.

A beautifully flavorful mussaman curry, with whole raisins and nuts, and savory rich spices. The Tom Kha was likewise excellent, as was my tasty Thai Iced Coffee. The restaurant is delightfully catering of vegetarians, as is of course most of this glorious state. Nom!

Pan See Ew. It was the first Thai meal I ever had from a small place in New York City that was heavily recommended by the people I worked with at the time. So it’s no surprise that all these years later I still enjoy the broad noodles, egg, light soy sauce, greens and meat. Simple dish, but really great. Whenever I try a new Thai place, wherever I am, I always try the Pan See Ew first. It was no exception here at Tuk Tuk. I had to pick up items at the hardware store across the street and I’ve passed Tuk Tuk enough times to know that I at least wanted to try them out. I ordered to go and got my meal along with fried wontons. The food was ok, nothing exciting but it was a decent meal. I usually throw some sriracha on my noodles but opted not to this time. I should have. Usually the light soy sauce gives a sweet flavor to the food but for the most part, the Pan See Ew, was a bit on the bland side. They can’t all be home runs. I actually enjoyed the fried wontons more. Nice and crispy and I enjoyed the accompanying sauce. So a hit and a miss, and I’d go back again. My next meal will be some Tom Kha, my second favorite Thai item. Enjoy.

Went last Friday evening with a party of 10. The food was definately sub par and not what we expect from Tuk Tuk. There was hardly any meat in any of our dishes. One of the party asked for no bell pepper and instead of just omitting the bell pepper, over 75% of the dish became green beans… the dish originally did not have green beans?! Additionally the service was very poor, she took forever to take our order, and never asked us if we wanted anything to drink. Completely disappointing dinner :(

Tuk Tuk is the closest Thai restaurant to my house. There are many, but this place happens to be walking distance. I really wanted it to be good. We walk in, and the appearance is a huge turnoff. Grossly stained carpeting, stained ceilings(like SPLASHED of stuff on the ceiling… how does that happen?), tons of dust and grime, and it looks as if it hasn’t been remodeled in 20+ years. Regardless, I’m hopeful for the food. I even say to wifey«You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had ‘bad’ Thai.» She agrees. Even at its worst, it’s pretty good. You know we jinxed ourselves. We order, some tasty Thai iced teas arrive, and we’re hopeful. Then our waitress returns saying that both of our dishes come with a side of white rice, but they only have one serving of white rice so we can choose brown or sticky. What? Make more rice. How does a Thai restaurant even run out of rice? The food arrives. We ordered a chicken w/basil and a green curry. It looks pretty good, but the chicken is overcooked and the rice is very dry. I wouldn’t say it is bad necessarily, but with a half dozen Thai options within a 5 minute drive of our house, we won’t be going back.

I live very close to this restaurant and after having eaten here countless times, I’m no longer drawn to return because their ingredients aren’t always fresh. The food quality is usually a hit or miss. On the plus side, their noodle portions are generous!(I usually get Pad Kee Mao)

My favorite Thai place. I love the mango curry. Lots of veggies in the drunk noodle. Yummy peanut sauce. Lovely seating, decorations and staff.

I hate writing 1 star reviews, If you look at my profile I don’t have many but, this place makes it really hard for me. also to know that they failed a County food inspection only confirms taste buds. With so many great Thai restaurants available this one falls short. I had the eggplant chicken, the chicken tasted like it was old and freezer burned and smelled like fish. I just stop eating it and I’m not the kind of person who complains about food and asks for a refund. The steamed rice was clumpy and not fresh. the other dishes seemed a little on the saucy side, I’m not a fan of drowning food with heavy sauces, what are they hiding.freshness.(thinking out loud) The service was ok, but it didn’t have the appearance of a clean well kept restaurant. I won’t be back.

I am giving this one star as I honestly cannot say how the food was. My boyfriend and I wanted to try it though. We were seated immediately. There were only 2 other occupied tables. We were sitting right next to the front and the servers had to walk past us every time they went to the kitchen. They were prompt with the other two tables, one of which was seated after us. They refused to make eye contact or come take our order. After 15 minutes we got up and left. Good luck to those of you out there who might actually get to eat here. Hope your experience with the servers is better than ours.

Really good food, funny owner who greeted us at the door. This was my first time going here and had what the owner recommended but it was really good. I dont recall what the name was. We all enjoyed our dinner though and left with leftovers. Thank you and I will be back.

I’ve gone here a couple of times now and I’ve enjoyed the experience thus far. The server was attentive and took good care of us. Unfortunately, they ran out of papaya so we ordered the Larb salad instead. They must sell a lot of papaya. The Larb salad was good with lots of tofu. Could have been a little spicier though. I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken and it was quite delicious. I chose 4 out of a 5 scale of spiciness. It was a good spice level, just enough to make you sweat a little. My girlfriend ordered the Pad Thai and she said it was a little too greasy. I would say compared to other Thai restaurants, they are on the greasier heavier side. Sometimes you might want it a little greasier, just depends on what you’re looking for. All the ingredients were fresh and the portions were large. We will be going back here in the future. No surprises(except the papaya) and a full meal for sure. Not an extremely fancy joint, but a nice place to eat.
