Worst dining experience of my life. Literally. Ghin & Tuk Tuk, two restaurants in one? NOPE. I stopped at Ghin first to order a cherry blossom roll to go and asked if I could place an order at Tuk Tuk. No, was my answer and I was fine with that. It seemed misleading, but that's ok. I walked over to Tuk Tuk and placed an order to go for 2 summer rolls (total of 4) and then I notice a dish that seemed to have a hard boiled egg as a garnish. I asked what that was and the cashier asked the guy cooking and then told me it was Pad Thai. I then asked (to make sure it wasn't just prep bowls) is that going into the dish or is it actually served that way? She said yes, served that way, so I thought hmmm maybe they serve it with a twist, that's new, I have to try it. I ordered the MEDIUM Pad Thai as well. After waiting for slightly over an HOUR (standing in high heels--no place to sit) and seeing my Pad Thai and one of my two summer roll orders sit there for about 45 minutes unnoticed I finally inquire about my order. The woman then turns around immediately grabs an already packaged order or summer rolls (this one wasn't cut in half like the first one) and sent me on my way. I left feeling agitated and thinking to myself WTF? I get back to my office and eat my Cherry Blossom roll from Ghin. It smelled "fishy" never good for sushi, and tasted terribly bland. So bland that I drowned the entire thing in soy sauce to give it some type of flavor. I then opened up the package of summer rolls that had been cut in half (the other, non cut, order was for a co-worker). The rice paper was dry in that gross way nobody wants their summer roll to be, the vegetables were brown on the edges, and the chicken inside was really dry and stringy and chewy. I turned over one of the summer roll halves just to realize that the rice paper doesn't cover the bottom--it either tore or wasn't big enough in the first place-- and instead of getting a new piece of rice paper--they just turned it over so you couldn't see it. The Pad Thai was HOT there was SO much red pepper in it and concentrated in spots like it wasn't mixed in very well. I have NEVER been so disappointed and I've been at some bad eateries before. The entire time I kept thinking that I would have been better off going to Whole Foods for sushi and a box of Annie Chun's microwave pad Thai. Don't waste your time, and certainly don't go if you are in any kind of time constraint. I will never be going back to either Ghin or Tuk Tuk ever again. On a side note: I had a lot of time to observe them and they place those dirty tickets right directly into your food. 6 people touch them, they sit on counters, one fell on the floor and then she sits it on top of your order..... nice.

Mediocre Thai food at average prices. I had the garlic pork dish that came served with a side of white rice and an egg roll. I felt like the pork suffered from a lack of flavor which is odd for a dish with "garlic" in the title. I had to spice it up on my own. Also, the pork was dangerously close to being undercooked. I won't go as far as to say it was undercooked, but it was as close to undercooked without being undercooked as you can get. Service was ok. I wouldn't hurry back here.
(2)Laurie W.
Disappointing. That's the best description I can give this place. I've driven by often and wanted to stop. So yesterday was my chance. I ordered the drunken noodles (of course), replaced the shrimp with chicken and made it a combo with an egg roll and a drink. The egg roll was utterly flavorless. So not worth the calories, which was sad, because I do love a good egg roll. The drunken noodles (I got medium spice) was just not really good. The noodles themselves were bow tie pasta (it does say this on the menu, to be fair) and way overcooked. The sauce was a bit bland. Sorry Tuk Tuk, you just don't work for me.
(2)Shannon C.
I love this place! I'm no aficionado at "authentic" thai food, but who cares!?! Their food is good, comes out really fast, and is cheap! We hit this place up when we feel like Thai, but don't feel like spending the time or money at a sit-down restaurant. Drunken noodles aren't my favorite, but the green curry and basil chicken are awesome!
(4)Kirk K.
We tried twice, worse each time. Pad thai used to be pretty good, now lacks flavor. Never again will we stop by here. Other tuk tuk grills have been better.
(1)Sally M.
In my opinion .... yuk yuk ... tables were greasy (try hot water) and the food was bland and tepid ... won't be back ...
(2)Thieny T.
Great lunch spot for fast service and very flavorful Americanized Thai. The ingredients are very fresh, and the food comes out quickly enough for a rushed lunch break. An authentic Thai restaurant this is not, but if you're looking for clean, fast, reasonably priced and perfectly seasoned food for lunch, this is the spot. Many people who work in the area seem to think so too, because this place fills up very quickly during lunch hour, and it can be difficult to find a table or parking unless you show up right at noon.
(3)Michele H.
This place was too Americanized for me and I am American! I had the pad thai, my favorite Thai dish and what I judge every Thai place by. It is the sweetest pad thai I have ever had. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good orange chicken. And I do like my pad thai somewhat sweet (isn't that the draw, the combo of sweet/spicy?). But this was too much. this coming from a woman who could eat a banana split for dinner. I think by now you get my drift. The portion was decent. Their "hot" was my mild/medium. Decent kids meal (only 1 thing - teriyaki chicken. i got the sauce on the side because i don't want my daughter developing a sweet palette) for a fair price ($3.50). My friend and I decided we would not give this place another try because there are so many other options for delicious Thai!
(2)Michael C.
Ok Thai food but high price for a take out style restaurant
(3)Jason G.
Terrible, greasy food prepared by dirty people given their prep orders by unfriendly counter help. I can't muster the energy to write a review bad enough for this place...just don't ever eat here. Ever.
(1)crystal k.
It was yummy and the service was friendly. We mentioned that it was my mom's birthday and they gave her a free Thai Custard (very tasty). I had the Tom Kha soup--smooth coconut and lots of chicken, perfectly spiced. The Summer Rolls were mediocre but the peanut sauce was good. Mom had the Chicken Satay and she enjoyed it. I don't understand all the negative responses. It was clean, friendly and yummy.
(3)Sarah P.
Mediocre at best. The food is a bit pricey considering it's not the most tasty Thai in the area. It tends to be pretty greasy as well. There's never much of a crowd.
(2)Sadie P.
So I work right across the stree from here and I go to that little stip a lot for lunch, but I decided to give this place a try today!! Well let me just say it was not that good. I got Pad Thai and the noodles were dry as was the tofu. The service was slow and they were not that busy. I am not sure what the problem was.
(2)Bridget F.
I'm shocked by the poor reviews on this site. I love this place! I work 2 blocks away and have been coming here for years. It's not fancy but they are efficient and the food is really good. I bring people here all the time from out of town and have never heard a complaint. Their noodle dishes are especially good -- I almost always get the Pad See Ew (I'm vegetarian and they happily replace the meat with tofu for me). The staff taking orders are so sweet -- when I forget to mention that I want it vegetarian, they always remember for me. Despite what some other reviews said, this place is always packed at lunchtime. We try to get there by 11:45 to avoid the lunch rush.
(5)Chris M.
Great for the price. Got the panang chicken curry, it was great nice and spicy.
(4)carri b.
First time to dine here. Me and my coworkers debated between this place & Pei Wei. We decided to try Tuk Tuk since none of us ever had. I ordered Teriyaki Chicken which came with rice & steamed vegetables. The sauce was watery and not very flavorful and the steamed vegatable were a joke, 1 piece of broccoli, 2 thin slivers of carrots, 3 mushrrooms that were raw and cold, a bunch of white cabbage with a really weird taste. Needless to say I was very disappointed and we all decided next time to stick with Pei Wei.
(1)Bryan M.
I originally and accidentally posted this review under the wrong name... Sorry TOTT! The further I got from this place, the less I was impressed. I didn't really enjoy my food, but that may have been due to an 'expectation meets reality' problem not entirely the fault of Tuk Tuk. The food came out pretty fast, the girl at the counter was helpful in her own blank stare blase kind of way and the decor was pretty cookie cutter. Maybe I need to go back and order something else... the pad thai Lacey had was pretty good. I would recommend the place is worth trying, but the curry is more soupy than traditional curry is supposed to be (in my experience).
(3)Chris B.
I work within five minutes of Tuk Tuk, and find this to be the perfect place to grab a quick lunch. It's a cross between a sit-down place and fast-food, but the casualness and the speed in which you get your food is perfect for grabbing a bite to eat with colleagues. I usually go here once or twice a month, I am a BIG FAN of the basil chicken (I get it almost every time I eat here). Get it hot. The Jungle curry is also very tasty (it shows up on their special menu every so often). In fact, almost all there curry is pretty good - and for the price, you can't beat it. Yeah, the staff kinda stares at you in that "I'm a cool 20-something, and really have more important things to do in life that work here" sort of way, but it doesn't matter when the food is so convenient. OH - don't be fooled and try the sushi place next door - it's not good at all!
(4)Jolene C.
I have since tried the Pad See Uw and Garlic Pork and can highly recommend both of those, too. The garlic pork is HEAVY on the garlic, so beware if you're in the mood for kissing! But it is oh so delicious that it is my new favorite dish and definitely worth the sacrifice for the evening.
(5)Russ S.
The Food is OK. I order my dish 'hot' and hafta put Sriracha all over it. I've had much better Thai within miles of here. The lunch crowd is nice to look at, and the service is quick. There is one thing that has ended my visits to this location. It's the horrible mildew/funk stanky smell that lives at the end of the front counter on the way to the restrooms, right at the corner. It was there a few months ago, and I'm now certain it is not a food smell. Panang curry is meh. The Cashew Shrimp was, well, I'll just say I've never really enjoyed nearly burnt black cashews.
(2)Jason D.
Tuk Tuk is the best thai restaurant I've found since recently moving to Lakewood. The chicken satay is very tasty, and the panang is so-so. My favorite by far is the Massaman Curry; it's always cooked wonderfully, with a good portion size and great flavor. I was pretty disappointed with the pad thai; it's WAY spicy, and I can handle the heat, but it isn't how pad thai is supposed to be made. Overall, definitely worth a visit.
(4)Jen L.
We love the food here, but unfortunately the management is very stingy and not customer-centered. Love the pad thai and curry dishes. If you want more than a tiny scoop of rice, be prepared to pay for it. Most places will just give you more if you run out. Also, one night when my husband & I went, he ordered a beer. He took a couple drinks and said it was warm. When he went to exchange it for a cold one, the guy (who I am pretty sure is the owner) told him he had already had a couple drinks out of it so it was too late to get a new one. Can you believe that? Big mistake for a restaurant business! We dine out often and have better service at 95% of the places we go.
(2)Mel H.
I live very close to Tuk Tuk and we like to get take out from this little restaurant. The food comes out fairly fast and the food is usually pretty good. The Pad Thai is good and the teriyaki chicken is OK. I often get the avocado/cucumber roll which is decent. We have tried a few other things there but we aren't willing to be very brave since it can be hit or miss with this place. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but the food is usually, well, A-OK.
(3)Austin A.
Great curry, which is what I always get. I usually use the instant Groupon to get a couple of dollars off a meal. Love this place!
(4)Jeramyn F.
Nothing amazing but excellent thai for a quick bite for lunch.
(3)Lacey M.
My husband and I ventured down Union St. one evening in search of a new spot for dinner, that was fairly quick but not fast food. We stumbled upon Tuk Tuk Thai and decided to give it a try. We walked in and placed our order at the register and then took a seat to wait for our food to be delivered. I made a pit stop at the sauce/condiment table. Now I am a huge sauce user; I usually have 2 or 3 sauces or condiments (when possible) for each meal. I grabbed a couple hot pepper sauces and a ramekin of jalapeos (did I mention I like it hot?). The first round of food came out, which included the soup of the day for me and crab rangoons for my husband. Apparently the crab rangoons were pretty bad...I don't think he even finished off the plate. The soup was very good, very simple: spicy broth, chicken, tofu, and basil. I then ate the egg roll I ordered, which was delicious! After I finished it I wished I had ordered 5 more. For a dollar or two extra, I was able to add an egg roll, soup, and a drink to my entre: completely worth it. Our entres came next, which was Chicken Pad Thai for me and Chicken Curry over rice for my husband. I ordered it spicy, of course, and probably could have actually gone with the hottest version (I think they call it Thai spicy). However, it was very good: chicken, tofu, bean sprouts, carrots, eggs, noodles. It was the best Pad Thai I have ever had (which really isn't saying much, since this was the 3rd place I've tried it at.....but it actually was the best!). My husband's Chicken Curry was not as good, but okay. Again, it might have been better Thai spicy than just regular spicy. It came in a bowl and was very runny....like curry soup. The dish was just not what you would expect when ordering chicken curry over rice. Maybe if he would have ordered chicken curry soup, it would have been perfect! Overall, my experience at Tuk Tuk Thai was very enjoyable and I really liked the food that I ordered. My husband, on the other hand, would probably rate this place lower due to his food experience.
(4)Rachel G.
A friend took me here recently, one of his faves. I had the Green Curry Chicken, delish, but super spicy and that was the mild version! I was shocked at the huge portion ( I made the mistake of getting the soup combo-my eyes were bigger than my appetite) The soup was also great: of sweet and spicy, the perfect thing on a rainy day. When I couldn't eat another bite, I took home the rest of the curry and enjoyed it later. Pretty good for a quick lunch spot, I would go there again.
(4)Bill C.
Reviewers seem to be right. This is not an authentic Thai place but will get you by with a decent meal. Nothing appeared dirty at all. Not sure what the other reviewer was seeing. My stance is that i would return if I did not find a more authentic option close by. Their peanut sauce didn't really taste like peanuts but it was still tasty enough.
(3)Seth F.
Despite the lackluster reviews of this place here, I actually thought the food was decent. I wouldn't say it was the best Thai I've ever had, but it's fresh, hot, and tasty. Price is a tad high for the quantity/quality though.
(4)Greg A.
I'd give it 2.5 stars. There are several Tuk Tuk restaurants, and, frankly, the one in Westminster (?) is better. This is more of a lunch-cafe place, with cafeteria ambiance. No table service. I visited here many times while a friend was at St. Anthony's hospital, across 2nd from here. To be honest, the hospital's cafeteria food was better, and certainly offered a wider variety, at a slightly lower price. But to be equally honest, the hospital's cafeteria is above average (see my review). For this review, we had Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken (see picture). For bonus points, we got brown rice instead of white at no extra charge. But, it wasn't that great (St. Anthony's is better!). The Pad Thai was just OK, and it was the same with the Sesame Chicken which was heavy. The food would benefit from less oil and a lighter, cleaner taste. But alas, those qualities were not present. Not bad. Possibly good, but not great. Sorry to compare it to hospital cafeteria food. Hey, there's a subway next door. Tuk Tuk is definitely better than that, but perhaps not as clean and crisp. The cashier totally flubbed giving me a receipt and it took a manager just to get one. Not the end of the world, but another detail that wasn't quite right, like the Mexican cooking staff.
(2)Jay B.
Drunken Noodle is hands down my favorite dish here. Others are mediocre, but the price is good and the portions and good.
(4)Jeanette H.
Had the fried rice. It was yummy!
(4)Kathyrn B.
Appallingly bad food, no customer service, rude management when I complained about getting the correct order. I doubt this will get published. Spoke with the manager, I was told it's all prepacked and only 1 broccoli floret, 2 pieces each of corn, tofu, carrot and zucchini go in a meal and I was charged extra for brown rice, given white- sorry! I will let everyone know at the hospital and the Fed. center by my husband and friends- we are done here! What a rip off. I was told ".. plenty of people like our food, too bad you don't". Unbelievable attitude is as bad as the soggy excuse for a meal. Worthless. And totally unhealthy fast food to boot!
(1)Ginger C.
The place really isn't as bad as most reviewers are making it out to be. It's certainly not authentic Thai food and it's nowhere near being a fine dining experience, but it is what it is...pretty tasty strip mall food. Everything I've ever gotten there has been tasty, even without the authenticity. The sauces are a little too sweet, but it's all fresh and made to order. Add some chili paste or rooster sauce and you're good to go. As one reviewer mentioned; it's kind of like Noodles & Co. You place your order at the cashier, they make your food and bring it to your table. Would I go there on a date or if I were trying to impress someone? Certainly not, but I go there when I want easy, fast Thai that I trust. There are really just too many questionable Thai restaurants in Lakewood. This one is at least consistent and mostly clean.
(3)Sarah Q.
Cheap prices, decent food, & quick service. While I definitely would not consider this an extremely authentic Thai restaurant, it passed my taste test. We ordered the pad thai with tofu, chicken satay skewers, & Thai egg rolls, & found all three to be flavorful. The atmosphere is underwhelming, not what we were expecting, but the service was good. Would come here again if am in the area, but there are definitely better, more authentic Thai places out there.
(3)Patricia W.
This place is pretty great - If you like thai, I would recommend checking them out. The green chicken curry is my go to but it is quite spicy. I was brave and decided to try their "thai hot" version of the curry and NOOOOOO never again. Seriously, it was so spicy that the capsaicin inflamed my mouth instantly on contact. The green goddess salad is also delicious and they give you a nice serving of avocado on top. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey, but definitely still worth checking out. Comfy and relaxed atmosphere too.
(4)Jessica J.
For me this was a solid lunch spot. From Basil Chicken, to Drunken Noodles to Curry this is a nice spot for a quick meal. I even found the spice delivered some heat, which was a nice surprise. Parking in this strip mall is crazy at lunch, so if you work near by just walk. And it isn't the most inviting place to sit and eat (counter service with basic tables), but they served it quickly and it the flavors were on point. I would come back!
(3)Gabriel S.
A decent place to grab a bite to eat. The food was good. Not great, but good. I liked how fast the food was cooked too! The inside of the place was clean and well kept. The customer service was great too. However I did notice a lot of horseplay with the coworkers there. I didn't find it very professional. Also, the selection of soft drinks wasn't too impressive. I will come back to get more mediocre food as long as I'm not paying for it.
(3)Courtney H.
I was really craving some Thai food one day and spotted this place on my way home. My boyfriend and I swung in, I ordered the green curry with chicken at medium spice level and my boyfriend got basic sweet n sour chicken. We were both pretty impressed for mediocre Thai food. I have friends from Thailand and I know what their authenticate food tastes like. This place is pretty Americanized but it does its job; I was still impressed. The restaurant itself appeared pretty clean and I wasn't grossed out in the bathrooms, so that was a plus. The food came out pretty quickly which was nice, but we had to remind an employee a couple of times to bring us the side of curry sauce that we ordered. They had basic soft drinks and even Thai iced tea, which my boyfriend liked. The second time we came here I ordered the green chicken curry again and my boyfriend ordered the Mossoman curry but he order his Thai hot, the spiciest hot! He said it was really hot and almost not enjoyable because he couldn't actually taste his food. If you like spicy food, this is probably a good place for you! Overall, my experiences here have been pretty good! I'd recommend this place if you need a quick Thai food fix!
(4)Marisa M.
Came for lunch during work. They had great quick service and no line. The price point was a bit high for lunch, but the portions were large to match it. I had the egg rolls and Pad See Ew. They both had great flavor and were served hot. I will defiantly return.
(4)Travis T.
I have eaten here once a week for the past 12 years, and their pad thai is probably my favorite in Denver. In my opinion their pad thai is pretty Americanized, and isn't culturally authentic, but as an American with American taste buds I really appreciate that. :) I really like their drunken noodles too, and the shrimp they put on it is plump and delicious. They prepare the food quickly, and after eating here for 12 years I can truly tell you that their consistency is pretty much spot on, and everything is reasonably priced. I would say that I will definitely be back, but I guess you probably already figured that out.
(5)Nicole Y.
For a semi-fast food joint, this place TOTALLY impressed me. The mangoes and sticky rice was great, but the panang chicken was as good as it is at many sit down restaurants. I love that they give you 5 different options for level of spiceyness. I will def be back.
(5)Rich S.
Fun Thai food with a twist and if you like it really hot try the Thai Hot! Fast counter service a perfect place for a quick lunch in or try it to go. If you're eating on the run try one of their wraps a great way to get you Tuk Tuk fix on the run.
(4)Mike G.
Tasty as always. Love the Drunken Noodles with udon. Sadly, they've walled off the restaurant next store and so it feels closed on vs the old open concept
(4)Steve O.
Decent, fast, Americanized Thai. They will customize to your heat level preference. It's nothing to drive across town for but if you're in the area it's a good option for a quick hot lunch. They really do keep folks moving through quickly.
(3)Patrick S.
Tuk Tuk is my favorite place to eat here in the Union area. The Panang Curry here is my favorite anywhere. Perfect taste combined with tons of vegetables and even mild will put a sweat on your brow. We also routinely get Basil Chicken and ordering it GF improves the taste even more. The chicken satay and crab wontons are yummy too. Honestly, I have eaten here for lunch and dinner too many turns on the treadmill to count and never had a problem. These folks always greet you with a smile and bring your food fast and hot. I highly recommend Tuk Tuk Thai.
(4)Brett A.
first ill start with the good. The service was fantastic and food came out quickly and thus hot. Eggrolls were by far the best item we had.The portions were large and I certainly left with a second meal; however, the pad thai left a lot to be desired, which should be their bread and butter dish. With smash burger going in nextdoor im not certain ill detour over to tuk tuk in the future.
(2)Kristen B.
This place is consistently good, not sure why the so so reviews. The summer rolls are super fresh and delicious. Green curry, drunken noodles - love, love it! Super fast but great food. Highly recommend.
(5)J. J.
They have several good vegetarian options. Many of the menu items can be made Vegetarian, just ask. I lean towards the Peanut Sauce with tofu and vegetables. It has a good mix of vegetables with a good flavorful sauce. Overalll, I have had consistent quality of food and service. They have seating for eating alone and in groups. The prices have gone up over the last few years.
(4)Kara A.
I ordered the garlic chicken and crab wontons. The garlic chicken was just alright... I sort of felt like my meal was drenched in garlic sauce. I'm apparently more of a light-sauce kind of person. My coworker ordered garlic pork and it's odd that you get a much wider variety of vegetables with the garlic chicken and not so much chicken, whereas with the garlic pork, you get just broccoli and a lot of pork. The crab wontons were pretty good. They're your typical crab wontons. My coworkers really enjoy this place so I'll likely be back for it's just okay for me...
(3)Anya M.
This is a decent place to eat at if you live nearby, although I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get here. You get a decent amount of food for the price, and it all seems very fresh. Much better quality that any fast food Asian place. There are a lot of choices so it is good for a mixed group of people (i.e. some want "Panda Express" and some want crazy hot authenticity). They are heavy on the sauce and light on the meat, but that is pretty typical. Medium spicy is good if you like some spice, but if you get Thai hot you will regret it (my spice loving husband couldn't eat it). It isn't a super posh place, but it is clean enough. My main gripe was the Thai iced tea was way too sweet and I only drank half. It is in a huge glass with no ice though, so I still probably got in about a good 1000 calories of condensed milk with that. I'll come back if I'm in the area and hungry, since nowhere else around here looks good.
(3)Frank G.
Ive enjoyed the chicken panang twice now. The staff is very fresh faced and accommodating. I will be back.
(4)Sean N.
This place is pretty good overall the service was fast and over all cheap. Meal was under ten dollars for one. I had the sesame chicken combo ( came with a roll and fountain drink). The roll was very good and the meal was also but the chicken bread was alittle dry seemed old but it was lunch hour and they were busy, so it would be hard to believe it would be old probably just over cooked. Would eat again.
(4)Kathleen A.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice..shame on me! Actually, make that three times now. I keep coming back and hoping that whatever I eat will be better than the last thing I ate but such is not the case. The pad thai was waaay to sweet, sweet and sour chicken a deep fried mess, and I don't even want to get into the nasty wrap I had the first time (see my first review). Seriously this place has let me down one too many times...I will not be going back.
(1)Lily S.
Had lunch here today and the place isn't as insanitary as Yelp makes it sound like. It actually reminds me of Noodles & Company, one of them not-so-fast but fast-enough joints where they'll give you a number to display on the table and you don't really have to pay tips. Because I had a $20 Groupon, the two of us ordered three things in order to use up the deal: Pad Thai with shrimp added (just 3 shrimps they charged $2.5! WTF?). It wasn't bad but if I were them, I wouldn't boast "our famous Pad Thai". It's really nothing specially, the sauce is a tad too watery and the chicken had some funny taste to it, maybe too peppery or stayed in the freezer for too long. The chef salad came out looking pretty good and the peanut/sesame dressing is yummy, but I hated the fact that there were tons of shaved carrots, ugh! I also had a bite of the Garlic Pork wrap, it's a pretty interesting idea. The thing came out looking like a Chipotle burrito (the size is almost the same too!), the filling is seasoned or fried rice with strips of garlic flavored stir fried pork. The place was busy enough during lunch time and the people that work that are really nice. I also like the fact that they lay out the condiments, to go boxes, plastic-wares for the customers.
(3)A V.
The Thai food here is among the best in Denver. Their curries are nice and thick, they don't skimp on the yummy coconut milk. The Green curry is killer! Another favorite dish is the Garlic Pork. The food is served quickly, even during the lunch rush. The service is helpful and courteous. As a bonus, they are co-located with Ghin Asian Blend and Sushi, which has some local Hawaii fare on the menu, such as the Loco Moco. I am a regular and will continue to be. Keep dishing up that amazing Thai!
(5)John B.
Owner is rude. Food is bland. Westminster location has roach problems (Fox 31 Denver report) and the owner blames everyone but her (which is the same problem I had with my issue!) !! Think about what lurks in the Lakewood kitchen??!
(1)Connor G.
Despite the poor reviews, we found this restaurant to be quite good! We ordered the combination fried rice, the pad see ew, and the ginger beef and all three dishes were very tasty. The dishes were made fresh, the vegetables were crunchy but still cooked enough to complement the meats, the meats were tender and juicy, and the sauces went very well with the ingredients. Overall, the combination fried rice was the best and had some sort of really good spice on it. It wasn't too oily and we wanted to get another plate! The service was good, the food came out really fast, and the whole establishment was clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend this place to my friends!

I have been going to Tuk Tuk at least once a month since I got a job on the Federal Center. Their prices have steadily gone up and up and up. Today I got a Pad Thai with shrimp, with their "combo" and my total was over $15. I wouldn't mind that so much if the value was there, but it just isn't. My "shrimp add-on" was an additional $3 and guess how many shrimp I got for that $3? 3. Yup, 3 small shrimp = $3 at Tuk Tuk. That's ridiculous. Sorry Tuk Tuk, you lost a customer today.

This is some seriously awful food! The balanced flavors of lime, galangal, lemongrass, palm sugar, and fish sauce found in a delicious bowl of tom kha soup is replaced with overly-sweetened coconut milk lemonade. While the Pad Thai was passable (in a fast food sense of the word), it completely lacks anything fresh and flavorful. The sesame chicken had the slopped-together feel of Chinese from a grocery store. In the same way a McDonald's billboard falsely advertises mouth-watering burgers, a display at the counter ran a slideshow of tantalizing dishes teasing me as I attempted to eat what I could of the letdown I paid for. I went here because Amazon Local had a deal for $12 which got me $25 to spend at the Tuk Tuk Thai Grill. A dinner for 2 which included a bowl of tom kha, Pad Thai, sesame chicken, and drinks came to about $30. Very much overpriced considering the number of higher quality and authentic Thai restaurants found throughout the Denver area. I fear what the $1 sushi is like.

Pretty good food. I had the pad Thai with tofu and ordered it hot (spicy). The hottest spice was just mild for me but not bad. Place is clean, no complaints.

Not the best Thai I've ever had, but not the worst ... especially for an order-at-the-counter kind of place. I asked for mine spicy hot, but not Thai hot. I had to put more chili sauce on because it certainly didn't seem very spicy to me. Prices are reasonable and there really aren't a ton of options in the area, so all in all ... not bad.

I can only comment on the Tofu Panang; it's all I ever order. Not that Tuk Tuk has amazing Tofu Panang, it's just my quirky eating habit. But you should know that they charge $2 for extra rice.

I absolutely love this place. They have the best pad thai EVER. This is my and my friends' first choice to go whenever we go out to eat because we all love the pad thai so much. TUK TUK ROCKS! GO TUK TUK!

Filthy restaurant (sticky table tops), confused staff (incorrect orders delivered), and mediocre Thai (ingredients not fresh - same sauce on all dishes). One star. Won't be back.

I've been here many times for a quick Thai food fix, and have never really had any issues. Sometimes the food tastes different, but not bad. It's good for a quick lunch, a cheap dinner if you're tired, or just a decent Thai meal in general. Is it amazingly good holy-cow Thai food? No. Is it passable, enough to not put a hole in your wallet, yet take care of your craving? You bet.
