Such good food and came extremely hot and nicely packaged. Highly recommend the ribs, which basically melt in your mouth. The dumplings were delicious too! I’m eager to try the Philly cheesesteak egg roll, but it sells out quickly. Will definitely order again! You can order directly on their website

I am impressed, Tuk Tuk Tucker was actually great. Atmosphere is very unique and fun. Every single thing was fresh, flavorsome, and extremely yummy. Each time I think the crew can not possibly top themselves they do. Love this place so much.

Feel like I must have ordered the wrong stuff, as I didn't find the food nearly as mind-blowing as the other reviews. I ordered Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and Chicken Lemongrass Dumplings, and both were solid but unremarkable. Most favorably, I'd say it was equivalent to what you might find at a mainstream-American type restaurant - think Cheesecake Factory. Least favorable, it felt like I was eating appetizers I found in the frozen food section at the supermarket. I Just didn't get anything in the sense of unique flavors - it was all just so bland.

Was super excited to try this place and it didn’t disappoint! The General Tso’s nuggets are a new favorite snack and that Philly Cheesesteak egg roll is such a fun and tasty bite. Can’t wait to try a whole new set of dishes next time around! It’s one of three restaurants hidden in the back of a board game store on UES - seek it out - you won’t be sorry!

First of all, best dim sum we've had. Everything was fresh and delicious, hence the 5 star review. Great job Tuk Tuk. However all the pictures of the ribs (very delicious) had 4 meaty looking ribs. We only receive 3 small ribs. For a $12.95 price tag that's a bit steep. Nonetheless, going here again. Will make it a staple food option.

Very good and slightly different. The dumpling dough was light and crispy. Love love the abundance of scallions in and out of the dumplings. The salad was particularly excellent and we'll seasoned. We ordered a delivery and it was right on time and well packed (not too much plastic). 3 dumpling dishes, 2 salads and the short ribs were the exact right amount for 2.

Ummmm. Where has Tuk Tuk been all my life? MOVE OVER Joe's Shanghai Restaurant in Chinatown -- Tuk Tuk absolutely murders you on all levels! This place is a hidden gem. The unsung hero of dim sum. The Chinese place you wish was open 24/7. The delivery that you can't stop licking off your fingers an hour later. Our set-up for delivery tonight was the following: *General Tso's Chicken Nuggets: crispy sticky chicken nuggets tossed in a savory sweet traditional glaze, super duper fresh like BUTCHER SHOP quality fresh chicken. *Juicy Round Chicken Dumplings with black vinegar/ginger sauce: plump little pan seared chicken dumplings totally bursting with flavor served with a gingery black vinegar sauce. This black vinegar sauce IS INSANE. BATHE ME IN THIS SAUCE! *Chinese Spareribs w/ Char Siu Sauce: bbq spare ribs glazed in a sweet savory char sui sauce (a Shanghai style roast meat marinade). Above all these ribs are so tender. I just don't understand how they get them so tender. It's like they're cooking slowly all damn day! *Shu Mei (pork and shrimp) Dumplings: these little pockets of heaven are light on the outside yet hearty on the inside. These are both pan seared AND steamed so you get best of both worlds. The sauce that comes with it is super umami and totally kills it. This spot really is the best Dim Sum / Chinese my boyfriend and I have ever had, especially compared to in Chinatown. Tastes extremely fresh and nothing is greasy. Come. Here. And. Thank. Me. Later.

Just tried this new place on the Upper East Side. Tried a little bit of everything. Chicken Dumplings were excellent, Chinese Spare ribs, but the best thing was the Philly Cheese Steak Eggroll !!!!OMG those were awesome. I will definitely order again !!!
