THE GOOD:
Family run restaurant, a real jewel.
Quality & taste of the food was top notch.
Chicken Amok was really good, great flavor profile.
General Tuk Tuk (chicken) is a spin on General Tao. If your a General Tao aficionado, pass on this dish, but the juice - flavour profile - & spice-heat very mild.
Huge menu given type, size of kitchen, & location.

THE BAD:
Chicken Pad Thai was ok, very dry, there was no egg shreds, very little nuts, not much chicken. It was bland.
The portions are on the small size given the price & type of'hole in the ground' type restaurant that could afford to give you a little more meal value in portion size given the area that it serves.
General Tuk Tuk execution for flavour was awesome, unfortunately the general tao coating on the chicken was a little too mushy because the juice is much more liquidity than what you find in a typical szchezuan version for General Tao.

THE BAD:
No parking (typical issue given location).
Price Value to meal size for what it is could be 25% improved without affecting profits given my opinion (I have never seen the size of the round aluminum take out containers that size before for the typical'main size' servings-medium small)

Conclusion:
I love the one man show front of the house, Mom & Pop cooking out back. The menu is huge to satisfy everyone. Worth another shot given the selection. The signature dish was uniquely amazing.

Suggestions to management - offer a family meal package. For example: Choice for two people, or 3-to4, or 6 people:
CHOOSE - soup or salad, choice of main meals, & dessert Takeout (or in) Value Package.

This was great! I really enjoyed their Pad Thai, it had great flavour & their layout was very cosy. Their mango salad along with their Fried won tons were delicious too. Truly a great spot to bring some friends.

Vraiment dommage… j'avais l'habitude d'y aller il y a quelques années & j'ai toujours été satisfait. Mais ma dernière visite m'a fait changer d'idée (& ce sera la dernière fois).
43 minutes entre mon entrée & le moment de l'arrivée de mon assiette. La moitié des clients étaient servis à mon arrivée & je connaissais déjà ma commande.
J'ai commandé un extra viande (poulet). Il n'y avait même pas le tiers d'une poitrine de poulet dans mon assiette (26$ avec 15% de pourboire). J'ai même demandé si la cuisine avait oublié l'extra & le serveur m'a dit que non.
Bref, j'irai ailleurs pour mon pad thaï.

J'y vais régulièrement & c'est sans aucun doute un de mes restos Thaï préfèré. Petit resto familial d'origine Cambodgienne. Les parents font la cuisine & les enfants le service. Tout est excellent !

J'ai adoré ce restaurant.
Premièrement la nourriture est excelente & deuxièmement c'est un "bring your own wine".
Tous ce que j'ai pris étaient délicieux, dont le dessert miam!
Les ingrédients semblaient très frais & les épices étaient bien équilibré.
Je n'avais personnellement j'avais essayé un restaurant Cambodgien. Ce type de cuisine offre une tournure intéressant aux classiques thaïlandais (dont je raffole en générale). Une belle découverte culinaire!
Je vous conseil de prendre les vermicelles de riz plutôt que le riz pour accompagner vos repas.
J'ai adoré la salade de mange, le plat Mee Kola, le pudding Borbor Tnaot comme dessert & bien sur on ne peux jamais se tromper en prenant un des nombreux plats contenant du lait de coco!
À essayer.

I was looking forward to dining at Tuk Tuk. What a huge disappointment. Firstly the service was beyond sub standard. This young boy was very nice BUT not a waiter. We placed an order for appetizers. 10 minutes later he comes by & asked if the three orders of skewers were chicken or beef. We then waited another 15 minutes before they arrived. 1 shrimp. Two chicken, one beef. Nothing was outstanding. The chicken was dry. The beef was tasty, nice spices. Certainly not worth the wait. That was nothing ...it took 45 minutes after this to get our food. Ridiculous for a restaurant of this size. My friend asked for mild & her dinner was very hot. She would have sent it back, but that would mean we would be waiting another half !

Our curries were just ok. The pad thai was really a disappointment. All in all we all decided we would not return. The bill came to approximately $50 a couple. It's a bring your own wine. That's about the only redeeming factor of Tuk Tuk
