Delicious food! We had Thai food in Philly and wanted to try to find a Thai place closer to home! Our favorite dishes were drunkin noodle and the crab fried rice. They were very busy on a Friday night. Took awhile for someone to check in on us when we were done, to get boxes, and to get the check.
Highly recommend! Back a second time for takeout - see first trip done in review below. Penang was good, Evil Jungle Princess was delicious and spicy! Requested low spice and it still had a zing but was flavorful. The chicken thai fried rice was not the best I have had but better than many others. Cant wait to return to this restaurant to try more! Excellent for dine in, fast and friendly service. Can’t wait to return to try more menu items, maybe pickup next time as there were multiple pick up orders going out in the short time I was there. Arrived just after 8pm solo on a Thursday night and the restaurant was scheduled to close at 9pm. The dining room was still busy with guests and the server was welcoming despite it being less than an hour before closing. Woman owned business, so many menu options and cozy ambiance. Had the vegetable lovers with chicken and spring rolls, took half of both home for lunch the next day.
I visited this place and had a great experience! The Mango Crepe Cake was absolutely delicious — light, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The Curry Puff was also a standout – crispy, flavorful, and perfect. Both are a must-try! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend checking it out!
Took my mom to Tuk Tuk and I got to say it is 1 of the best Thai restaurants in the area. I had Tom Ka which is a coconut soup. I also had Som Tom Bangkok style which is a spicy papaya salad and Laab which is a meat salad preferably chicken with cilantro, lime and chili peppers. I also recommend the Thai Red Curry with rice and they have a variety of meat to pick from including chicken, beef, pork and shrimp.
I recently tried Thai food for the first time at Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen in Malvern, and it was a great experience. My coworkers and I ordered a large takeout lunch, and everything we got was really good. I had the chicken Pad Thai and thought it was delicious—flavorful and well-prepared. The food was ready when I arrived, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant looked clean and had a nice, authentic vibe. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the mood for Thai! I want to try their “Crying Tiger” next time too!
I’ve dined in and gotten take-out from TukTuk several times in the past and I just tried catering from here last week! The food is always delicious—dine in, take out, or catered. I’ve recommended TukTuk to some friends from Asia who have a pretty high bar for Asian food and they have told me that it’s among the tastiest and most authentic Thai places around. When dining in, the atmosphere is much nicer than your standard strip mall restaurant making it a great date spot. The staff is always super friendly and they were so easy to work with for my catering order. I just called and asked if they did catering and they put me directly in touch with the owner who walked me through how much he thought I should order for the number of people I had. Pricing was super reasonable and service was over-the-top. Will definitely continue coming back to TukTuk. So lucky to have this place locally.
