Visited from out of town. The place is super cute and the food was great! The owner, Will, was lovely and helped us place our order. He even brought us a plate of Brussels to try after we worried about ordering too much. (He said they were *that* good and he was right!) So grateful for the hospitality and excellent service. Will and Tuk Tuk Boom are leaving us with a wonderful impression of Jackson. We definitely know where to stop on our way back through!!
The food looks good, but does not taste good. I was starving! I got the pad Thai and it tasted charred. It was also overly greasy. The coconut soup was decent. It had tons of tofu. The restaurant is gorgeous and the service is great. However, this Thai food is not good.
Finally got the chance to try Tuk Tuk Boom. All I can say is it was fantastic from the moment we walked in until we left. Greeted immediately by staff who were helpful with any questions about dishes. Food came out quickly and was fresh. Everything tasted great. We will definitely return.
Nice décor, nice location, nice presentation, nice staff. Only thing missing was Thai staff, Thai cooks, Thai food, Thai flavor. Pad Thai chicken was a small portion, spicy beef noodle twice the size (?). Pad Thai was real red colored (huh?) but there was no tamarind in it and it was literally tasteless. The spicy beef noodles were a good size portion but so salty we could not eat it. The self serve, lackluster food and higher cost compared to full serve Thai places in Jackson will unfortunately keep us from coming back. Granted the other places don't have ALL the menu items of Tuk Tuk, but we would rather keep in simple, pay less and have better tasting food we can count on as being flavorful and fairly more authentic.
Not one for trying new things. But I loved the chicken noodle bowl. I ordered take out. The packaging and everything was nice. The portions are great. I can't wait to bring my family to try something new. Some of my other coworkers also ordered and I can tell they were thoroughly impressed as well.
The food was amazing. Took my husband there today for lunch and he loved it! Must try the spicy beef noodles and chicken curry! Delicious
Super Crunch Roll was okay, the crunch was there along with grease. Spicy Beef Noodles were almost swimming in oil. Spicy Shrimp Roll was okay, too. Honestly, it is pretty pricey, and the servings do not correlate with prices. The interior design is relatively new, so it looks pretty.
Tuk Tuk Boom has a fun atmosphere, but there's definitely better Thai food in town. My husband WAY over-ordered and it was not a cheap dinner. For the two of us he got pot stickers, brussels sprouts, a poke bowl, pad thai, and panang curry. It came out to $71. It was a lot of food, but I think ordering similar quantities at other restaurants in town would have been cheaper.The only thing I'd eat again from what we ordered are the brussels sprouts and the curry - those were both delicious. The rest was just ok.It's definitely worth a try, but don't have too high of expectations.
Tuk Tuk boom is for sure my new favorite go-to spot for delicious food, quick & friendly service, and great atmosphere. Perfect set-up for sitting outside rain or shine. They’ve got a wide variety of sushi rolls and the best pad thai around. Brussels and crab angels are a must too. It’s a great spot to indulge in yummy thai noodles & rice, but they’ve also got several healthier options too (amazing poke bowl, salads, sushi etc.) 10/10 from me!
Food is ok. Place is clean and nice staff.
