Best KPortal Reviews
Ideally, I'd give this place a 2.5/5.
Tuk Tuk Thai in Berkeley offers a quirky atmosphere, with a literal tuk tuk parked right inside the restaurant by the entrance. It's a conversation starter, for sure! However, the food itself didn't quite hit the mark for me.
Quirky & Fun Vibes: The tuk tuk is definitely the highlight of the decor. It injects a touch of whimsy and sets the tone for a casual dining experience.
Pad Thai Overload: I tried their signature Pad Thai with chicken. While the portion size was generous, the overall sweetness was a bit overwhelming. The "perfect blend" of sugar, tamarind, and lime juice leaned too heavily on the sweet side for my taste. It could have benefited from a bit more tang or savoriness.
Saving Grace - Thai Iced Tea: The Thai iced tea was a bright spot. It was refreshing and flavorful, a classic done well.
The Verdict: Tuk Tuk Thai offers a fun and casual atmosphere, but the sweetness of the Pad Thai might be a turn-off for some. The Thai iced tea was a saving grace, but overall, the experience landed at a 2.5 star review. If you're looking for a more balanced Thai flavor profile, you might want to explore other options.
I got a recommendation from a local grocery owner for vegan Thai. I arrived at peak dinner time. The restaurant seemed overwhelmed with to go orders and a partially full dining room. The server was slow to take our order. I was waiting with a menu in front of me for a long period of time. The server was very polite and continuously refilled my water.
This restaurant has chili trays here for the tables! The food was delicious and none was left.
Lastly, just be warned service is mediocre. If you can live with that and a longer wait time, then you'll be fine. If that's not your bag, you may want to skip this restaurant until you've got time.
Good food: we tried the calamari, potstickers, chicken satay, curry and we were happy with how they tasted. The place is huge and the service was good. It wasn’t busy when we came. The price is a little on the high side, but expected in the Berkeley area.
I was visiting Berkley for a day and came across this Thai restaurant. The food tastes so close to original Thai taste. We ordered noodles, pad se-ew, pad kee mao and tofu stir fried vegetable. They were delicious! Springrolls were crispy and not hard rock. The atmosphere and decor was simple which i dont mind as long as the foods taste great! I really recomend to check this place out. Its so under dog???? the waiter was so helful to us and recommended tourists place. Thank you!
this place used to be one of my favorite places to eat in Berkeley. I haven’t visited it in a while but today I decided that I wanted some Thai food and I just happen to rememberTuk Tuk Thai their food used to be really fresh and tasty and flavorful and now it feels like everything has changed it’s not fresh it doesn’t really smell pleasant and it doesn’t have the fresh taste they used to. I feel like I kinda ate yesterday’s leftovers so that’s really disappointing. I think you guys should just try to serve food that’s not old and that’s fresh, because now I just don’t want to visit again which is disappointing because I love that place.
Great for late night delivery, but great nonetheless when you want food that is consistently good. Their chicken egg rolls are some of my favorite, quite unique. My wife loves their spicy beef salad.
I was out dancing with a friend, when we both realized we were feeling famished! As luck would have it, this restaurant was only a block away. As it turned out, we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. Even though it was fairly late, the place was still open. It didn't look like much from the outside, and the interior is simple. But everything was clean and orderly, we were seated right away, and the woman who took our order was helpful and friendly. We ordered the pumpkin curry with chicken, and the emerald salmon curry. Both were delicious. I would definitely come back here again and highly recommend.
