What People Are Saying About Tuk Tuk

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.

This is a good restaurant with good food, it gets a bit busy as it is in a hopping neighborhood, so get in a bit before the dinner rush, I recommend. I think they do tofu better than many, it isn't too fried but it is crispy enough to feel like an indulgence. Yumm.

For a different type of flavor to the Asian food, this restaurant serves some of the best in Portland. The staff is friendly and will recommend a certain dish based on your explanation of taste buds.

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!
