Penang curry with Chicken
Basil Chicken with chicken rice
Pad Thai with tofu
The curry was delicious and spicier than the Panang Beef I usually have, this version is less sweet than all others I’ve had, could be a regional variation, maybe more peanut than others? The chicken is by far the most tender and moist chicken of any restaurant where I’ve had this kind of dish where the meat is added after the sauce is already made. You probably have experienced this before. Still delicious.
Basil Chicken was also a hit, far more savory than others I’ve had, probably my favorite version. Rich and savory, hard to explain.
Pad Thai was also a good, again a deeper, more savory flavor than the typical sweet and saucy versions, whether it needs more tamarind may be a matter of preference. The fried tofu they used was the best of any Thai place we’ve had it at. Most of the time you get overly fried tofu with mostly tofu skin and a hollow inside. This place sears it well but it is tender and juicy inside.
We loved the food but the only thing that made me uncomfortable the entire time was the profanity laced rap and hip hop that was being played. I didn’t raise any of my children to normalize that kind of language and I never play it around my child. While I would use it in private with my friends, it’s not something I use even with high school kids I coach, it’s about setting a standard.
The alone would make me hesitate returning if my youngest is with me, but the food is good.

We just happened to find this place and it was seriously so good! They had excellent recommendations. We got the chicken wings, basil chicken, Penang curry, and a couple of drinks. The chicken wings had the most delicious seasoning on it and they also gave us some fries to go with it that were so crispy and slightly sweet. The basil chicken was our favorite but everything was 10/10! They were so nice and accommodating. The woman brought out some mango sticky rice for our daughter and it made her day! We seriously can’t wait to go back and try more items in the menu! If you’re looking for good food then you have to try this place!

Quiet dine-in/take-out restaurant that has improved throughout the years. My experience here has always been pleasant with low traffic inside the store and fast service. My primary order is the pad thai (7.5/10), khao gai sap (8/10), and tom yum soup (9/10). Although the flavors can be inconsistent at times, the ease of the order and fast pick up is what makes this place a regular visit for me.
Comparably, other places like Thai Elephant will have better pad thai and in much larger portions but 25% more expensive with more or less difficult parking. If you are a local looking for a stress free take-out dinner at home, then this is a solid choice.

Tuk Tuk Chicken & Rice Restaurant is amazing!
The food is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Their chicken is tender, juicy, and always cooked just right. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is friendly, fast, and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has a great vibe.
Highly recommend Tuk Tuk Chicken & Rice to anyone who loves delicious, authentic food. I will definitely be coming back!

I got take out, but when I walked into the restaurant, every day was clean and smelled good. The food was delicious!!! I got the #7 spicy curry and #4 spicy chicken and Thai tea with rainbow jelly. All was so delicious, hot, spicy, and tasty. Definitely recommend going there to sit down and eat or take out! The owner is super friendly as well!

I chose this place because my go-to Thai restaurants were closed, so I was hoping for a good alternative. While Tuk Tuk Chicken & Rice has some hits like the basil chicken and salt and pepper wings, the Pad Thai needs some work.
The basil chicken is super tasty. The chicken is tender and cooked with fresh basil, bell peppers, and onions in a yummy sauce. The basil gives it a nice aroma and a bit of a spicy kick. It’s a great dish that’s both filling and delicious.
The S & P Chicken Wings are a must-try! The salt and pepper seasoning is just right, giving the wings a crispy and flavorful coating. They’re fried perfectly, so you get a nice crunch with every bite. Perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
The Pad Thai with chicken was a bit of a letdown. It came with thin slices of breaded chicken, similar to tonkatsu, which was interesting but not what you’d expect in traditional Pad Thai. Plus, it was missing bean sprouts, green onions, peanuts, and that tangy tamarind flavor. To top it off, the noodles were burnt, which really took away from the dish.
We’ve traveled to Thailand twice and have been enjoying Thai cuisine since the 80’s so we’ve experienced traditional Thai food.
The decor is not your typical Thai restaurant style. One wall is covered with pictures and ads of JDM cars, and another wall is filled with Hot Wheels still in their packages. It’s a unique and fun atmosphere that adds a bit of character to the place.
Overall, Tuk Tuk Chicken & Rice has a cozy vibe and friendly staff, making it a decent spot for a casual meal, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The panang curry is out of this world good. It’s like there’s a party in my mouth.

A small and quick eatery. The food gave more of a homely feel. Tried the basil chicken with rice and roti with yellow curry. Both were great. Good customer service. For dessert, we tried sticky rice with mango. The mangoes were the best. I’ve had better sticky rice. Overall I was satisfied with the place.
Few seating arrangements inside and and few set up outside as well. More of a quick eatery kind of place.

Stopped in for dinner while passing through San Jose and so glad we did! Highly recommend getting the thai basil chicken w/ white rice and kai gainsap w/ chicken rice, so delicious and perfect to split between two people (we even had some leftover for breakfast).
