What a surprise! I didn’t realize Tuk Tuk was down the street. I discovered them on Google Maps and ordered chicken pad Thai. It is one of the best pad Thai in town, hands down. The price is right, too! I’ll be ordering from here again for sure.

Good Thai food. More for pick up and go. The place is super tiny. Seating for about 8 people total.

I've eaten at their Santa Ana location. This is closer to my house. Just opened recently and saw it when I was in line for In n Out. Ordered simple chicken fried rice with medium spicy to go. The price was good and the service is excellent. Nicely packed in their custom bowl and paper bag. Great presentation. Food was pretty good. Fried rice was a little mushy, but there was a generous amount of chicken (breast) nicely cut. A bit veggie was mixed into the fried rice which was nice. I would definitely return. Only thing I didn't like was the "Fabuloso" soap they used to mop the floor. It was too strong and I thought about eating in, but the smell drove me out.

We had a delicious lunch. My wife had the pod thai and I had the pod se Wei. The food came out quickly. It was piping hot. This is a great addition to our neighborhood and we will go back soon.

Completely in love with their Tom Kha Guy soup, and the Pad Thai is also perfection. Easily one of the best Thai places in the Orange County area. The Thai Tea is incredible too. But it's hard for me to say no to Thai Tea anyway!!!

Look look here's Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food! What I Ordered: Chicken Pad Thai ($12) Yellow Curry ($13) Food: At first look, the presentation of the food did fit in well with the Street food theme of the restaurant. However, the first thought that came to mind was how the prices was on the higher end for me to consider it street foot. Nevertheless, the Yellow Curry was delicious! The creamy and flavorful curry went well with the Jasmine rice. The pad thai was great as well, their noodles were thinner than most pad thais I've had in the past, but the flavors were well wrapped with each noodle. However, the chicken seemed to be not as fresh, its texture was a bit rubbery and had a distinct chicken smell. Service: Quick and easy! Ambiance: Two tables inside and two tables outside. It seems like this is more of takeout spot rather than a sit down restaurant. The utensils and bowls were all plastic and paper.

Food was great reasonably priced. There's not a lot of seating room, but this place would be great for takeout or during lunchtime.

First timer - I had the tofu drunken noodles (mild). The food was delicious, tastes fresh, flavorful. It was prepared and ready for takeout in about 10 minutes. Service was very friendly. I will be back!

Ordered DoorDash while at a local brewery so can't speak to the restaurant's service. Portions were below-average in size and maybe over priced for the size. Drunken noodle: better of the two dishes and maybe one of the better drunken noodles I've had in recent memory. Got it "medium" spicy and didn't taste/feel any heat. Kapow chicken. Got medium spicy and was a weird experience as it wasn't spicy but there were TONS of diced peppers in there. So it was a big mental game of "looks spicy but isn't spicy." Flavor was lacking, big time. Following morning and my stomach is NOT happy. I'm a bit confused because it doesn't feel like food poisoning. But I also don't get stomachaches from spicy food (plus, the food wasn't spicy!). Not sure what's going on, but will likely avoid in the future.
Tried Tuk Tuk Thai on a Wednesday night. It was located in a shopping center with a variety of dessert and food options so it's convenient if you're dining with picky eaters. The food was well seasoned and tasted good (just prefer a little more spicy maybe I will ask next time). The portions were just a little small. We got the broccoli a la crate, pad see ew with tofu and red shrimp curry which came out to 45$. The price was not unreasonable but we were hoping to be full after spending 45$ but the location probably warrants the price (maybe also because we came so late which is why it still receives a 4). Service was very friendly even though we came relatively late and the food came out very quickly which was a plus! The interior was very clean and decorated nicely. It was a bit cramped though with only two indoor tables. It seems to be more oriented towards takeout/Uber eats orders. The chili powder and Thai chili also came out in teaspoon size portions which was a bit less than we had hoped but it was an overall good dining experience. One thing I wish I tried was the lemonade Thai tea which is always one of my favorites! Will be back to try it next time :).

My wife and I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a service that left much to be desired. From the start, the atmosphere was unpleasant, with a noticeable lack of customer-centric approach. Now, it isn't all the staff. The older lady is quite generous and kind. Showing customer service skills. It is the younger lady that is constantly on her cellphone that displayed a consistently bad attitude, making the entire interaction uncomfortable. This is not the first time we encountered this. Reason for my review.It was disheartening to witness such a disregard for customer satisfaction when this place is quite new to our city. The younger ladys dismissive attitude only exacerbated the situation, leaving my wife and I feeling frustrated and undervalued.I believe constructive criticism is crucial, so I hope this establishment takes the necessary steps to address their shortcomings. A focus on improving customer service and fostering a more positive atmosphere could greatly benefit both the business and its patrons. Overall, my experience was regrettable, and I hope others have a more positive encounter in the future. I must admit the food is better than other Thai places around.

A casual fun place to enjoy Thai food. We ordered crab fried rice that was filled with real crab meat, really good! Kapow with ground chicken had good amount of heat but too salty for my taste, might want to ask easy on the sauce. Shrimp Par See Ew had tons of nicely charred shrimp with perfectly cooked noodles with fun bounce and texture, probably the best I’ve had. And the Tuk Tuk decor just adds to the playful theme to this location. Tuk Tuk Thai has become one of our local favorite!
