Finding Thai food is never a task in New York, and in most places you can not fail when you go with the normal dishes such as Pad Thai, the Curry or Satay. Having dined at Tuk Tuk couple of times as well as getting take out, I decided the last few times to try something different and stay away from the their curry. With that said I am unsure where exactly to start, perhaps this time I will simply just mention some of the dishes that just really stand out in my mind. Charred Beef Salad, Veg Duck Salad, Shrimp Summer Rolls, Roti Massaman, Duckaholic, Tamarind Salmon, and the Green Tea Fried Ice Cream are all items from their menu I can’t stop talking about. Now when I visit this place it is hard to pick what exactly I want to eat! At Tuk Tuk there is just so much to choose from, and after numerous visits there, every meal is different. One issue is with the Spring Summer rolls, there are limited quantities of it, so there is the chance it will not be available, and I don’t think they like to serve it as a take out dish either. There is one notable mention, the first time I ate at Tuk Tuk they had some Tapioca banana coconut dessert that was out of this world; it is not on the menu but once in a while I feel the need to ask for it and they have it, there are times it is not available. If you still prefer the normal curry or noodles, this place will satisfy your taste buds as well. I will say it this is one of my favorite Thai places in NY, if you really have a place you think is great please email me and let me know.
