Best Thai food in the area! The Pad See Eew slaps so hard. My friends all agree it’s their best dish. Def give it a try!

I came here for lunch on Saturday, 2025 July 12. I was the first customer so it was nice to enjoy my meal while sitting next to the window. I had the Kai Ra-Berd (Egg Bomb) with ground pork and an unsweetened iced Jasmine green tea for a drink. The Kai Ra-Berd was really delicious. I definitely recommend it. The Jasmine green tea was refreshing.

I had visited Tuk Tuk before with a few friends and really enjoyed the experience, so I was excited to bring a different group of friends this time and suggested we dine there on a Friday evening.
The food was good overall — I do regret not ordering the red curry, which I’ve enjoyed in the past. This time, I went with the crispy pork, which wasn’t quite to my taste, but that may have just been a personal preference.
The atmosphere and space were pleasant, but the biggest issue we had was with the service. From the start, we felt rushed — from placing our order to being asked several times if we were done with our dishes. It felt like we were being HURRIED along, even though we didn’t think we were taking unusually long to finish our meal.
At one point, a server came by at least four times to see if they could clear our plates, even though we were still eating. And toward the end, the check was dropped off at our table without us asking for it. I might have understood that if there were people waiting, but the surrounding tables were mostly empty by then.
Overall, while the food and ambiance were nice, the rushed service left us disappointed and made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal.

Got take out. But this did not taste like Thai pad thai or drunken noodle. Do not recommend.

I LOVE TukTuk. It’s my go to take out place and we’ve dined in there several times as well.
Aside from the normal Pad Thai and Pas See Ew, I really like their specialty dishes like the Kow Moo Dang or the Crispy Duck.
Really fast for take out and reasonable prices for the neighborhood.

I've been going to Tuk Tuk probably 20 years. The food is consistently delicious, the people always nice, and the atmosphere pleasant. The Thai ice tea is the best I've had in NYC, and even better than the four different ones I tried in Thailand! I hope you enjoy Tuk Tuk as much as me.
I ordered the Khao Moo Dang for take out and the sauce is not what the menu says it is. I got sweet and sour sauce instead of their five spice peanut gravy. If the restaurant runs out of their gravy or unavailable for the day, please inform the staff of any changes for that dish so they can notify the customer. Also, food portions could be better. I hope the owner sees this and makes this change otherwise I won't be coming back.

We use to go here often but last time we went here the service was really bad. It was quite busy that day and the server who served our table that day was really rude. She was just so mad even though we didn’t told her anything we just ordered our food that’s it. Even when we were ordering our food and we didn’t knew how to pronounce that word she yelled so loudly. I don’t know what we did wrong but all we did that day was ordered food and asked for check that’s it. They really need to work on their service! We haven’t been there since that day.

Ordered the Tom Yum soup and the Pad Gra Pow. The Tom Yum soup was exceptional but the Pad Gra Pow was disappointing. It lacked any of the flavor profile of Thai cuisine and was bland. Have ordered the same on previous occasions and this was the first time it disappointed

After years of ordering exclusively from their Gluten-Free menu at their restaurant, sometimes with allergic reactions, I tried ordering Pad Thai over the phone when, as usual, the Chow Now app couldn’t complete the hated “Double Click to Pay” process on my iphone, and was told I shouldn’t order it because Soy sauce with gluten is used in their Pad Thai preparation. Nice to know, but will they update their printed G-F menu? Too many other Thai restaurants in LIC to bother returning.

This Thai restaurant is a great place for anyone looking for affordable and delicious meals. The food is delicious. I usually get the pad thai or the pineapple fried rice but they have a ton of other Thai dishes. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great dining experience. Food is served quickly, so you won't be waiting long to enjoy your meal. Plus, the spacious seating area ensures you'll always find a comfortable spot to dine in.
