The food was delicious and the service was Fantastic! We requested dessert, but the cooks had already left. So a lovely young lady that works behind the counter offered to make it for us. It was Amazing!

The food was delicious! The staff was friendly. It was crowded on a Thursday evening, but we got in and ate in under an hour.

Tuk Tuk is my favorite Thai restaurant in Knoxville! Their staff is always so friendly and their pad Thai is the best I've ever had!

Tuk Tuk is my favorite restaurant that I have tried this year so far. The food is wonderful and the staff is so friendly and helpful. They also provide a consistently great experience. My boss brought us in the curry egg rolls one day and I was hooked. They are amazing and crave worthy by themselves. The crab rangoons are also really unique and better than most I have had. I love to get the house fried rice and have them make it Thai hot(level 10) and it is the best rice dish I have had since pre-covid. I could eat here everyday. Absolutely give it a try especially if you like or want to try Thai food. You will not be disappointed. This is a great date spot and would likely leave an impression. Tuk Tuk is also a wonderful option for take out. It is rare to find a place that does take out and doesn't leave you feeling like what you are getting is a lesser version of what you would get if you ate at the restaurant due to freshness or things getting cold or soggy but Tuk Tuk holds up wonderfully. At this point I am going at least once a week on my lunch break or after I get off work.

Our second time at Tuk Tuk and decided to try something new. The crab rangoons amd Khao Soi were FANTASTIC. Best Thai in Knox.

Diner Review №21

Food is great, but they are completely unorganized.

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

The food is excellent.
I still miss taste of Thai but this is excellent.
The Khao Soi is awesome.

Diner Review №24

Second and last time dining here. Came in at 11:30 for lunch and we were completely ignored. There is a small sign that says wait to be seated at the front but this restaurant is extremely small and it is very awkward and not to mention freezing cold standing there by the doorway waiting. The male waiter ignored us from the moment we came in. Minutes later a man came in to order to go and he immediately greeted him. My husband and I had sat at a high top that was completely empty and after minutes of continued being ignored I went to the front and asked if we had to wait at the front to sit down. He was extremely rude and condescending which is hilarious in the service industry. As a former waitress the customer always comes first and we (the customer) are the reason your restaurant stays in business, not you. We got up and left at that point.

Pin Thai is a way better Thai restaurant in Farragut and they are extremely kind! They will continue to get our support as they actually care about their customers!

Diner Review №26

My son and I have been looking for a new Thai restaurant after losing two of our favorites. It appears we found a new one! The little curry spring roll appetizers are delightful. Thai boat noodles is a dish I never had before and is perfect for a cold winter night.

Diner Review №27

Jomjaii was great as always.
Food always fresh & delicious 😋 ginger chicken, padwonsen, pad thai, & yellow curry. And their Thai tea soo good.

Diner Review №31

TukTuk is hands-down our favorite Thai restaurant in Knoxville! From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel welcome. Every dish we’ve tried has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s the perfectly spiced curries, the savory Pad Thai, or their amazing appetizers, the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail always shine through. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a casual meal or a special night out. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Thai food in Knoxville, TukTuk is the place to go!

Diner Review №32

this restaurant is small in size but serves good food. ordered pad Thai with chicken - medium spice. the employees were polite, nice - always helpful. Taste was good - amount was right - price was appropriate. in total this place wld be good for Thai fusion cuisines.

Diner Review №33

The orange chicken was the best I have ever had!

Diner Review №34

Had the basil rice with pork & egg rolls, it was great! Love this place.

Diner Review №35

Not your typical Thai place. Hence the fusion I guess. Food was very mid… I had high hopes for this place but it just didn’t live up to it. Food was cold and did not seem fresh. Something was seriously off with the taste of the food in general. Even the water tasted bad. It was just gross, like sewage water or something. Disgusting. Please use caution if you decide to eat here. I hate to say it but I truly believe good reviews for this restaurant are from Tennesseans who haven’t had good Thai food.

Diner Review №36

Very good food, decent service, and I recommend dining in for getting the food fresh.

Highly recommend if you like Thai food.

Diner Review №37

Long-time customer here. I wanted to just emphasize my positive experience getting food here. The owner and workers are always friendly and smiling, and the food is fantastic! (One of the best Thai places in town!). You can't go wrong with any of the curries and the pad thai is absolutely delicious! I also highly recommend getting any of the appetizers; they're all delicious from the crab rangoons to (my favorite) the Tuk Tuk egg rolls.

I have been a regular at this restaurant for several months while on a business trip from Switzerland. Dozens of times I have been served here with good food and friendly staff. As a single diner, I was always seated immediately and could enjoy the exchange of a few friendly words with JJ and her colleague Neung. A smile greeted me every time I entered the place. I was always amazed at how they were able to maintain service despite a bustling restaurant, busy phone orders or walk-in takeaways. Maintaining this level of service over such a long period of time is, in my opinion, a great achievement. And of course it can happen that, for example, the water is not immediately on the table, but that's not worth mentioning. I think a guest not only has the benefit of being guest but also has to treat the servres with respect. A smile always anyway. I'm not perfect every single day, so why should expect others need to be. Be generous and enjoy the food and the smiles. Mike

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

Food was delicious as usual. Our server JJ was very friendly and she always remembers our order. Great place to dine!

Diner Review №51

Favorite Thai food in the Southeast. Staff is incredibly friendly even when crazy busy. Tables are close but it feels like most casual restaurants in Thailand. Very clean, really quick, and so good you'll eat too much.

Diner Review №52

Finally found some good Thai food in Tennessee!!! Was in for a surprise! Food was awesome and service was also pretty good! Highly recommend if you’re craving Thai food!! Don’t go to crazy on the spice level if you can’t handle it!!

Diner Review №53

Tuk Tuk is my wife and I's favorite Thai restaurant in the greater Knoxville area. The food is always spot on and delicious (We love their Volcano Chicken, Pad See Ew, and all Curries). The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and how much you get. Despite how busy they normally are, the service is wonderful and their servers are friendly, good people. This place is popular for good reason, so expect a bit of a wait (it's worth it).

Diner Review №54

Just a little frustrating the food used to be good but something has changed. It’s more bland and the service was terrible. Mostly the service very rude person who seats you some of the time other times you seat yourself. If the greeter is going to be rude I’d rather seat myself

Diner Review №55

The food is great and seems really authentic and flavorful. It's a little more expensive than I expected at first, but the food is worth it. My favorite is the green curry.

Diner Review №56

We ordered the Summer Rolls as our Appetizer, they were incredible. I love fresh spring rolls so much and was so excited when I saw those. They were better than I had hoped. We also ordered the Pineapple Rice, Red Curry and Crispy Fish. The pineapple rice was so good, it had shrimp and was cooked right. Nothing tasted overcooked. Red Curry was great! We added chicken to it. And the Crispy Fish was so good too. The portions were not stingy, good for sharing! We ordered all these dishes on the heat level of 3 and it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, there was a slight spice that made your sinuses start to clear. But for me and my family, it was the perfect medium. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, flavor was great. Wish it was served cold. But we still thoroughly enjoyed it!
We will be back. This place was great.

Diner Review №70

Everything here was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing. Super friendly staff that worked hard at making everyone happy. Update. It was so good, I had to go back again. Twice this week! Exceptional! I could eat here everyday.

Diner Review №71

I visited Tuk Tuk for lunch based on a recommendation from the Knoxville Subreddit. Arriving shortly after opening, I was the second customer of the day. The food quality was decent. I ordered Pad Kee-Mao, which had a good amount of pork and enjoyable wide noodles.

There were a couple of service hiccups. Despite ordering water, it wasn't brought until after my food arrived and I had to ask for it again. This was an unusual experience for me in a restaurant setting. The restaurant, though small, filled up quickly by 11:30 AM.

Some of the soup options on the menu looked intriguing, and I might return to try one in the future. Overall, while not outstanding, Tuk Tuk provided an okay dining experience. The food was fine, but the service could use some improvement.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

JJ took such good care of us. This place is so good. If you miss Taste of Thai, fear not. This place has a similar spirit with superior food and service!

Diner Review №77

The food here is amazing! We came on a Friday at 6:30pm and surprisingly were able to get a table with only a short wait! The service is really good and the food tastes delicious at a reasonable price!

Diner Review №78

Absolutely Delicious 😋
Everything was made with fresh ingredients and So Much FLAVOR. We began with Thai dumplings, Beef Salad, Tom Kha (creamy coconut hot & sour Thai soup) & Egg rolls to share. Every single bite was delightful. The Beef Salad was amazing! Our entrees were Orange Chicken, Khao Soi Soup (a coconut curry noodle soup) with chicken, Spicy Stir-Fried Fish (cooked cod with veggies in hot curry paste). If you love Thai & generous portions, you must come try Tuk Tuk Thai Fusion!
Oh! We took dessert to go. Fried Banana egg rolls, Mango Sticky Rice, & Coconut Ice Cream. 😋

Food was ready an hour after it was supposed to be and masaman curry had no avocado and no broccoli.

Diner Review №82

I’m a Thai food snob! This place ranks as one of the very best Thai places ever! It’s consistent and authentic. I will not go anywhere else in this town. Go enjoy! Tell them Sam sent ya!

Diner Review №83

Great Thai food. Excellent customer service.

Diner Review №84

We had great service and the food was excellent! I would definitely say it is the best Pad Thai I've had in Knoxville so far and I've tried a lot of Thai places. Highly recommend for a casual lunch or dinner option and their Thai Iced Coffee is so sweet and creamy it's a must try as well!

Diner Review №92

This place is delicious! The food is so unique and you can tell they make it fresh! Will be returning!

Diner Review №93

1st time here and food was awesome! Not exactly a place for a quiet dining experience, high volume of people. Their to-go business is hopping, so they are definitely doing something right!

Diner Review №94

A 5.0 star dining experience!

Diner Review №95

I came on a weekday evening at around 6/6:30 and it was completely full, which was surprising but is usually a good indicator of the food. It took my friends and I a while to get a table, but everything went really smoothly once we got seated.

I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, which is a noodle based dish with veggies and a meat of your choice. It was delicious, a good portion, and a really fair price.

I would definitely come back again! Tuk Tuk makes some really good food, and the wait is definitely worth it.

Diner Review №96

Stopped in today for some lunch, got there as soon as they opened. I was the 2nd costumer. Ordered my food to go:
Pad Thai
L1
Egg rolls
Crab Rangoon
She asked me what name, I spelled it for her it’s literally 5 letters and I think she was trying to be funny because it was no where near what my name is. She told me 15 min and to go wait outside. As I was signing my recipet I marked a line thru the tip spot she looked at me and said “oh wow no tip wow okay” It was very awkward. So I go to my car and wait for my buzzer to go off that the food is done. I waited and hour, buzzer still never went off so I go to the counter and ask the lady how much longer she says oh u need to wait. At this point I look around and the place is packed but everybody in there had their food which is crazy because I was the second customer who put my order in. To me it seems like they take care of their customers who are eating inside before they do their to go orders. As I’m standing their waiting for them to figure out what is going on with my food A customer walks up to the counter and started telling the lady he’s been their for an hour got his food already but never got his water and he is dying of thirst she looked at the gentle men and says “okay I bring u one go sit down” I continue to wait, I see people coming in getting greeted and tons of food being brought out to people who came in after me. I waited 15 more minutes, obviously because I already paid for my food and I’ve already waited this long so then I ask another employee “Can you please check on the status of my food?” she says “oh let me go see,a few more minutes”. A few more minutes went by so after waiting over an hour and a half I finally get my food. I asked if there was silverware in the bag she said “over there get it yourself” so then I said “If I eat inside, do I get served before the to go orders” and she said “oh no no” and then the gentleman working there said “don’t argue with her” as he waved his hand in my face. I get to the car to eat with my daughter and realize apparently they gave me a kid size servings for the lunch. The pad thai was cold. The crab ragoons were the worst I’ve ever had in my life like seriously how do you mess that up? It tasted like a rolled up piece of cheese fried in a tortilla. Despite the nasty food
Small portion size the expensive price I paid, over $60 for the items that I got. But what tops it all was their customer service was absolutely unacceptable. I do not recommend anyone ever going here. 10/10 do not recommend.

Diner Review №97

We were told by a friend to come here, and it did not disappoint! I had the basil with chicken and my husband had the cashew chicken. Both were amazing!! I would definitely recommend this place for the food and the price!

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

This was our first time here and we will be back. The food was so good. The crab rangoons were the best I ever had. I also had the chicken pad Thai and it was delicious. It’s our new favorite place.

Diner Review №100

I'm originally from the Northwest where the Asian food scene is competitive and I had been missing my favorite Thia dishes. I tried a few other places, but nothing compaired to what my wife and I stumbled apawn at Tuk Tuk. Service was outstanding and I witnessed customers joking with the staff that must have been coming for a long time, and the food is evidence of why. Each flavor bold and delicious.

Anyone looking for Thia food in the Knoxville TN area should forgo all other options and settle for this fantastic establishment.

Sincerely

Diner Review №101

I gave 2 stars just for service of how we were treated. The food is phenomenal! No doubt about that. Went back because we loved it so much and followed the sign that says wait to be seated. Several staff walked by us multiple times saying nothing to us. Eventually the male worker in not so kindly of a tone told us to take a number at the front if we want to eat there. So I walked to the front seeing nowhere to do so. That same man even came up and saw us looking around and said nothing else. So, we left. I know they’re new, so once they figure out organization & service, this place will be great!

I already left a 5 star review for them in the past but I deleted it because I wanted to review them 5 stars again. Tuk Tuk is delicious always, but the reason I decided to leave this review is because we just got takeout and the food was HOTTTT even when we got it home!!!! Hope they expand because people pack this place out for how wonderful it is. Also staff are friendly.

Diner Review №109

LOVEEEE this place. Not only are the people who work there super sweet (ordered online and explained it was birthday weekend- they left me the sweetest note) but the food is phenomenal. Even if the service sucked, I would still come back for the food alone. That’s how good this place is. Coconut soup, any pad Thai dish, fried rice. Excellent food. 100/10

Diner Review №110

Generous portions and amazing flavors.

Our whole team loves this place. Some of the friendliest people ever and incredible food.

This place has the best Thai food in town. It's fresh, always consistent and just really, really good. My only complaints are the atmosphere which I know can't really be changed in a small restaurant. It is a bit chaotic and the food can sometimes take up to an hour to come out. There is an underlying anxious vibe because you usually have multiple people standing by the door waiting for a table and because it's such a small establishment it feels like you have an audience. I would not recommend dining in if you are uncomfortable with crowds or claustrophobic. Also, try to avoid being sat near the restroom because the sewage smell is quite potent. On a lighter note, the staff works hard and always gets the order right. I highly recommend this place but for pickup or delivery only.

Diner Review №120

Nice and affordable little restaurant. Service was polite and quick enough. I particularly appreciated being able to specify how spicy I wanted each plate.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Everything was amazing! Great food, quick service, reasonable pricing, and welcoming and attentive staff! You gotta give this place a try! I got the pad Thai and my partner got the green curry :)! You have to try the curry rolls! (Also great Thai tea!) we will be back for sure!!

Diner Review №126

Not authentic Thai flavors. Service was fast but Pad See Ew tasted unlike any Thai restaurant I've been to (which is not a good thing)....why were the noodles dark brown and beefy tasting. Just not correct. Are they fusing Thai with Chinese food? May try again ordering different items, but thought it would be better for the 4.7 rating.

Diner Review №127

Food was fantastic and quick! A little busy at lunchtime but got through in time. Excellent Pad Thai!

Diner Review №128

This place is great! The staff is always to happy to help and so nice. The food is next level. This place is great for a quick lunch.

Diner Review №129

the best Thai food in town! very authentic. they can go very spicy if you'd like. I'm pretty sure it's made to order. I just can't express in words how good this place is

Very curtious cashier. Place was packed, but they got us fed.

Diner Review №137

Absolutely some of the best Thai food I've found in Knoxville. The atmosphere is cozy but a little cramped, and the wait staff are all very nice.
Come hungry because the portions are large and the prices are really good!

Diner Review №138

We had some wonderful Thai food. The chicken pad Thai was amazing as well as the green curry. Some nice heat to the meals as well.

Diner Review №139

Great food, good service, friendly staff. Yum

Diner Review №140

We came for lunch around noon and the place was slammed which says a lot. The service was excellent, our order was taken promptly, food came out as soon as it was ready, and empty plates were taken away quickly.

We ordered the Thai Dumplings, Thai Eggrolls, Chicken Pad Thai, Pork Pad Kee-Mao, and Stir Fry Ginger Sauce with Beef. All of the food was great.

So the wife and I always order an extra item as sort of an experiment and we choose to order the Stir Fry Ginger Sauce with beef and we are so glad we did, it turned out to be one of our favorites.

Between the Chicken Pad Thai and the Pork Pad Kee-Mao the Pad Kee-Mao won between the two dishes. I want to note that we love real spice and we ordered everything on their level 5 out of 1-5 and I will say the spice was not as we had hoped. We asked for their spice caddy that had pickled jalapenos, chili garlic sauce, chili flakes, and salt. So we used the chili garlic sauce to add a little more heat to our dishes which was great. Another stand out to me was the sauce that came with the dumplings, I wouldn't mind having a bottle of that stuff to take home.

We ordered from the lunch menu and as you can see the portions for the money is fantastic. We'll be back again for more delicious Thai food in the future.

Diner Review №141

Absolutely amazing food. I will 100% be back. The orange chicken was cooked to perfection and the veggies and rice were amazing. They had a unique twist to crab rangoon (rolls) but they were some of the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №142

The friendliest staff, great food!

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Great price point, rich flavorful coconutty sauce in the curry, perfect spice level in the dishes, perfect texture and flavor of pad Thai with plenty of chicken in everything. The shrimp and veggie egg rolls were PACKED with goodness, extremely tasty, especially the chunky flavorful sauce they came with. Surprised at how good this food was. When we've come, the place is always completely full of people. A gem for sure. 10/10! 🤩

Diner Review №145

It is a small casual place and it was packed. There a few stools at the counter too. Service was fast and food very good. Their massaman curry is excellent!!

Diner Review №146

Always enjoyed this place whenever in town.

Diner Review №147

Excellent food. We come here for the Khao Soi, which is my favorite dish on the menu!

Diner Review №148

Absolutely delicious! Amazing selection. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. This is one of the best meals I have ever had, literally. Will be here on every future trip to Knoxville!

Diner Review №149

I have been eating at Tuk Tuk at least once per week since they opened. The food is always good. The owner cooks all of the meals. The staff has always been extremely friendly and will be grateful for your patronage. When you eat at Tuk Tuk you have to keep several things in mind: 1) The staff is from Thailand. English is not their first language. 2) If you have dietary restrictions or need specialized considerations or ingredients in your food, it's probably best to choose somewhere else to eat. Something you request may be lost in translation. 3) You will be served by more than one of the wait staff. Generally they work together as servers, food runners, and drink re-fillers. You might get asked the same thing by more than one person. They are not trying to rush you, they are trying to work efficiently. 4) The restaurant is small. The dining room gets crowded during peak times. This is a sign that the food is good! Choose a slightly off-peak time to eat for a more relaxed experience.

Diner Review №150

One of my favorite Thai places in Knoxville!!! All of the curries are out of this world. Get to know the staff as well. They are all lovely!

Diner Review №151

I've only really tried their pad Thai and it's incredible. The staff is super friendly and the place is super cozy. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №152

In my opinion, this is the best Thai restaurant in Knoxville, both for food and service. The kids always get the Tom Kha soup, curry rolls and Drunken noodles. You can never go wrong with those choices. I’ve tried numerous entrees and am never disappointed. The staff is always friendly. If you haven’t tried restaurant then you are missing out on some yummy Thai food!

Diner Review №153

My husband loves Thai food. And we travel an hour just to pick it up at Tuk Tuk's. Every thing they have my husband says it's excellent. They give you a ton of food. Offer you different "heat" levels. Always great service with a smile. And very reasonable prices. They have a quaint little restaurant for dine in, which is always clean. They are closed on Sundays & Mondays.

Diner Review №154

Hands down the best service and food in Knoxville! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out:)

Diner Review №155

This food was so mouth-watering! They give you the choice between 5 different heats, and sadly I can only handle 1/5 spice. Other than that, service was great and the restaurant had a cozy feel to it!

Diner Review №158

Looking for the best Thai food in Knoxville? Tuk Tuk is the spot. I was absolutely heartbroken when Tase of Thai closed down, but I think I prefer the food here even more! The food here is always HOT and fresh when I pick it up, and the employees are extremely friendly and welcoming. This place is a little pricey, but the portions are huge enough for two people, so it’s more than reasonable in my opinion. I highly recommend the Pad-see-ew and the egg rolls, delicious!

Diner Review №159

This place is delicious. It has fusion in it's name but it's more authentic than many other Thai restaurants around here. They have the creamiest Tom Kha soup, the Pad Kee-Mao (drunken noodles) are always full of flavor, the Masaman Curry is delicious and the avocado is always ripe and creamy and it always arrives delicious through delivery service. Many foods do not travel well. It's even better at the restaurant! The staff is always friendly, polite, and quick. We love the crab rangoons, pork dumplings, edamame, and chicken satay too. One of my favorite restaurants.

Glad I read the reviews about the limited seating and ordered takeout. They were full, with people waiting to pick up. Food was packaged great for travel. Food is very good. Spice level 1 was PLENTY for me!

Tasted wonderful! The emptiness in my stomach from Taste of Thai has now been filled!

Not only the best Thai in town, but overall one of the best restaurants in Knox County. These servers are extraordinarily, polite and professional in. The food is always incredibly consistent and super delish. And when they're open they're always full. Every table is taken. Can't go wrong with this one.

FYI, please plan accordingly. This place is pretty popular, and there's not a lot of dining space. However, the food is worth the wait time. I thoroughly enjoyed my house fried rice with shrimp and Thai tea. I ordered to-go and portion size was enough for dinner and leftovers.

Great Thai Food

Diner Review №171

Our first time here. We walked in behind 3 other parties right at 5:00 PM when they first opened the doors on a Friday night. We were promptly greeted, seated and given menus. Everyone was friendly, helpful and very attentive. Our food was excellent. The drunken noodles that I ordered with tofu and an assortment of extra veggies with a spice level of #2 was perfect. Hot. Fresh. Perfectly seasoned. We live in Jefferson City but we will plan to return. I should have taken a picture. 😊

The food here is delicious. My only complaint is they need more tables because EVERYONE wants to eat here.

This is one of my favorite places in Knoxville, I always get served by the same lady and she is the kindest. Love the food, especially the Green Curry. You can choose your spicy level 1-5 or Thai Spicy. Love it

Alright Thai food. The curry was better than others in the area. The egg rolls were not good. I will not be ordering them ever again. I am curious to try other dishes. The restaurant was very crowded with limited seating. Service was blah… if I would’ve received one of the female servers my experience would’ve been a bit better the guy was not attentive and kind of rude.

I loved Taste of Thai & hated they closed. Tuk Tuk was a pleasant find! Their drunken noodles were comparable and were very good!

Best thaii I have had in a long time!!! High recommended to any Thai lover. Khao soi Coconut Thai soup was excellent. Had the Thai dumplings were delicious 😋🤤 and very reasonably priced. Will certainly be back 5⭐⭐'s all the way!

I would like to say that this place is really great. If you like or want to try Asian food and more specific Thai food, this is a good place. Take your time to make a decision of what you’re going to order and be careful about the spicy level. Ask first if you have any limits about hot food. I would go again to this place.

Diner Review №188

Really enjoyed the food, really fulfilling. Was hot and very fast! Loved the crab rangoon especially.

Diner Review №189

First time eating here. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and extremely friendly. The food was beyond excellent.
The server made recommendations as we were first timers. All that was recommended was done thoughtfully and provided a more rounded experience. You could taste the freshness of ingredients in each dish. The spice level was adjustable to taste. I found the thia hot to be perfect. I will be returning.

Small restaurant but busy! They do a huge take out business, with people coming and going all the time, and that's probably because the food is so good.

A beautifully decorated treasure.

The food and service are impeccable. I ordered the Garlic Sauce Chicken and Pepper Beef. I have never looked forward to my leftovers so much.

Parking is readily available, but you might have a short walk. There's outside seating and an inside area.

This place is great... Ordered To go now many times. Have at inside once... Seating is limited... They have added some tables outside recently... Everything I have had is great... I have recommended it to my co-workers and they all love it... Included are some pics from the pic menu... This is not the Full Menu... But if your not familiar these really help ... Lunch is a decent portion.... Dinner is a great serving
Edit: They have recently increased prices...they normally have a line out the door for takeouts... But this will definitely lessen that line.... Satay chicken (appetizer)was 6 bucks.... Now is 9 (50% increase feels excessive for 4 skewers).. And all the dinners went up 2-3 dollars ...$16 for the panang Curry now
