| - I came to Tuk Tuk with my friends after Hearing them say how delicious their pad thai was! I've always loved pad thai so since day one hearing them say that, I knew I have to come to Tuk Tuk and try their pad thai!
We came for dinner (didn't make reservation but we got seated right after we arrived). It took us a little bit of time before deciding what we wanted (they have a big variety of Thai and Cambodian dishes on their menu). The waiter was extremely friendly and answered my friend's question patiently.
We finally decided to share all the dishes and ordered the fried calamari as appetizer, the tofu pad thai, the beef pad si'eve and the chicken cha chou em.
Their fried calamari didn't look or taste like what I've expected. I thought it would be the greek style calamari... But then I remember we were in a Thai and Cambodian restaurant! Their fried calamari tasted more "Chinese" because of the salt and pepper (you can find a lot of salt and pepper dishes in Chinese cuisine). The dish wasn't bad at all but it wasn't the kind of fried calamari I wanted to eat haha!
The tofu pad thai was pretty good (I ordered it non-spicy), the portion was big enough to be split. Their so-called tofu was more like dried bean curd cake/dried tofu (??), which I liked a lot. The dried tofu was stir-fried first, which made it tastier. I prefer this texture since it is harder and chewier than the soft and easy-to-break tofu texture. I would enjoyed this dish more if they have given more lemon, they only gave me one slice of lemon and it wasn't enough to bring the whole pad thai flavour to the max...
The beef pad si'eve, which was pad sew (thick rice noodle stir-fried in soy sauce) tasted good but very "Chinese". This flavour was something you could easier get at any Asian restaurants. There wasn't any Thai or Cambodian touch to it...
The chicken cha chou em was like a general tao but not quite it. Besides the sweet and sour sauce, there was a South-East asian taste because of the coconut milk and Thai basil. My friends didn't quite like it because there were too much vegetables they didn't like (celery, peppers, etc.) However, I enjoyed the vegetables because they were really fresh and crunchy, especially the celery! The only remark I have was, the rice they gave was definitely not enough for the amount of sauce there!
Tuk Tuk is a bring your own wine restaurant and it gets busier at night (around 7-8 pm). It is a small restaurant so the seats fill up quickly. I recommend making reservations! The restaurant gets very very noisy/loud as well (it wouldn't be suitable for a romantic dinner or a date since you can hardly hear what the person seating in front of you is saying..)
