In Short – Bright citron walls, modern-art paintings and Lifesaver-colored pendant lamps give this spot a youthful, downtown feel. A tiny bar is lined with regulars sipping Thai beer while waiting for their takeout orders. Starters include the Rock and Rolls, which are salad rolls with lemongrass-marinated chicken. Curries and noodle dishes are complex and rich; the crispy curry duck and pad kee mao (drunken noodles) are wonderfully satisfying.

horrible

by Kathy Larsen

I will NOT wait an hour or more to be served my food, no matter how good it is. This has been repeated now for the past three visits. I will never eat there again, nor will I advise anyone else to eat there

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: service

Frequent Eaters

by asimonem

We work up the street from Tuk Tuk and love it there. Everyone knows us, the food is great. The business is adorable with wonderful colors, great lights and brilliant pops of original art on the walls. (The blue flower with orange backdrop is my perswonal fave!) It has a bit of a different flair from other Thai resteraunts which I feel in general often largely have a Vitnamese influence left over from the war. It is a little mild unless you ask for hot, but the flavor is great and many customers would be grateful of this! They always take down my crazy special orders without a flinch and have never got them wrong! We are so glad they are right up the street, love the staff (whom a review said was rude? NOT AT ALL. Were they mistaking quiet for rude? They are not in your face throughout your meal, but this is something I prefer!)

They are a staple and an asset to our area and we will continue to frequent as long as they are in business!

Thank you!

Never again...

Host was rude when we first entered the restaurant. If you're open until a certain time then act like you are and accept paying customers until that time or have signs indicating that you will not accept them past a certain time.

The host gave us disgusting menus after wiping his nose with his hand and then grabbing them for us to peruse. I'm afraid he did not (as I could see him the whole time) wash his hands and DID touch our food (Pad Thai, he grabbed the carrot/cabbage and nuts with his dirty hands).

Another employee did just as bad with the second order. She was counting money and when the order was up, did not wash her hands, and proceeded to put the carrots/slaw and peanuts onto that order. I will never go back and will recommend that they teach their employees some standards before someone gets sick from their food.

  • Pros: It seemed like a lot of food for the money.
  • Cons: If you like snot and whatever is on the money people carry around to be in your food, go for it.
