Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food — Restaurant in Sacramento

Was kind of split about this rating but decided to round up on this first visit. I was in a real hurry for work so ordered some delivery based on the reviews. I went for a mildly spiced basil chicken.

The food arrived very quickly and hot. The chicken was a more traditional (I've been told) ground type (like hamburger) vs chunks, which I often prefer. There was a generous portion with a scoop of rice, but there weren't any utensils in the bag which could have been an issue with the driver.

The problem was the sauce was very salty. I'm pretty high tolerance when it comes to salt but I'd say I'd be done after about 3 bites if I didn't mix it with the rice. 4/7 with rice.

Overall I'm willing to give it another try sometime to see if this was...

*Update for Jan 2025: I went midweek in the first week of January and ordered the Eggplant 🍆 rice dish with bell peppers, onion, Thai Basil and chicken. They said it would be a 25 minute wait. I ended up waiting an hour to finally get my meal at 7pm! The food is great, but their service is terrible. I think they were having a disaster of an evening that week. 🥴

Tuk Tuk is new in LandPark so I decided to try their Thai street food. I had the Eggplant 🍆 rice dish with bell peppers, onion, Thai Basil and a side of Jasmine rice ($15.95). I added some protein; six large shrimp for an extra $3.95. The spice level was medium and just right! Absolutely delicious though pricey at $20...

The food was great, flavorful and a good quantity, fair price. We ordered mild spice, it was still too spicy so next time we will order no spice. My only complaint was the timing, I called in my order and was told 20 min, luckily I didn’t arrive right at 20 min but waited until 35 min and when I arrived my order still wasn’t ready, it was another 5 min so that was 40min total. Which is ok if that was what I had been told. That seems to be a running complaint with other customers. Thus, 3 stars. I wouldn’t want to go there and order in person and sit for a long time because it’s not that kind of restaurant. But all in all it’s great and I’m glad it’s there and hope...
