Tuk Tuk — Restaurant in Portland

We've been eating here, or getting takeout, once a week for over 4 years now and love it... DEPEND on it! Easy, quick, well-priced, and always delicious. We also order from here whenever we have guests staying, and they are always happy with what they ordered. The service is wonderful and the cooks are super friendly. We usually order their Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), pad thai, and pad see ew, for take out and love all of it. Noodles are just the right amount of chewy and so flavorful... as are all their dishes. We've also tried their curries, all delicious. Their pumpkin curry is my favorite- a yellow curry, I think. Their fried catfish dishes and stir fries are also yum. Our 3 year old loves the baby corn, broccoli, and carrots from their [non-spicy] dishes, which is great because he won't eat broccoli or cooked carrots most of the time from anyplace else, or even cooked by me. You really can't go wrong here. We feel so lucky to have such a fantastic place in our neighborhood. Even if we moved, we would still drive across town...

We ordered delivery through Uber Eats from Tuktuk. It was our first time trying it, and we were blown away! I live pretty close to the restaurant so I'm excited to go and dine in when I am not feeling so lazy. My parter and I shared the spring rolls, she got the green curry and I got the small Tom Kha and papaya salad. The only issue we had was they ask the spice level and they mixed ours up. I like spice, while my partner wishes she could eat it but can only handle a small bit. I selected a 2 for my dishes and a 1 for hers (they show you the spice level and 2 is medium). When the dishes arrived it was clear as my dishes had minimal spice and hers was decently hot. She could barely eat it! Simple mistake but something worth pointing out and double checking. Otherwise everything was amazing. Food was fresh, hot and flavorful. The meat was quality and sauces and curries were bursting...

Expereince here was just not quite as expected..the server (taller caucasian male) made it even worse. He was soo impatient, wasn't helpful, and just seem like he was annoyed overall. He shouldnt be in the service industry with that aura. Thailand's culture is patient, kind and nothing about this guy made the experience here pleasant. Food was ok if you want fake thai food (flavor is ok and VERY very sweet). My group order a lot of dishes to try. Pad thai, pad ke mao, tum yum, beef salad, larb, calamari. The flavor wasn't there as thai dishes needs to be...I am from Thailand. What I found interesting about their menu; order a salad, assuming it was cucumber salad laos style (as stated on the menu)...but came out to be the Laos egg salad not the laos cucumber salad. Just weird. I would not recommend going here even if I were around the corner or craving some more...
