Fantastic Thai food. The Massaman Curry was the best I have ever tried. Great service, food was quickly brought to the table.

Great place to eat Thai food and value for money - must try the chicken and cashews. Staff were attentive. Don't go if you're on a diet as you're bound to over eat.

Tuk Tuk is a great value for money restaurant - it is my local takeaway or cheap meal with friends or family. The food is delicious - for the price. I definitely rate Tuk Tuk.

We went to Tuk Tuk for a friend's birthday, there were 25 of us and we had the banquet. The food was great and plenty of it and the service was fabulous. The friendly Thai waiters and waitresses looked after us very well. We will definitely be going back.

An average Thai place anybody can go when they feel like Thai. The cooking is tasty and is fairly good for its price. The service is good and my friend could not stop eating the rice! Authenticity of this restaurant is almost a 7/10.

In a suburb full of Thai restaurants, this is the one that stands out as the best, awesome food, great service and awesome value for money, and not to mention the great staff there. Will be back as much as I can.

We always enjoy the food at Tuk Tuk and it's great value for money. Service is quick and efficient and their outdoor balcony is lovely on a hot night.

Don't know what to eat? Finished work late? Tasty, simple unfussy... yummy springrolls and curry puffs, great snack while you wait, not fine dining more homestyle Thai.

Been to many Thai restaurants but never seen a menu quite like Tuk Tuk. Beetle leaves what that???? their amazing. Bit prick for Thai but I guess if you wanna try different things you will pay. Outside is very cramped and the service at times seems to lack. You have to walk through the kitchen to get to the barthrooms which I'm sure is not good.

Food quality is amazing unique and quite individual. The flavours have a twist and havn't been adapted so are very Thai. Service has improved since my last visit which was pleasing as that was the only thing I could flaw them on previously. Prices are reasonable but for the standard of the food is relativley cheap. Love the outdoor seating on the verandah which is a smoke free area. My favourites that I'll recommend are the salt and pepper soft shell crab or squid, heavenly beef, balmain bugs, all the curries and another thing there is a huge variety for vegetarians.
