Tuk Tuk Thai, Cultural District ($)
- Where is this restaurant? 3431 W. 7th St., Fort Worth, near UNTHSC
- What readers recommend about the Tuk Tuk Thai:
“Consistently great food with wonderful curry dishes.”
“Recommendations: pad thai, pad woon sen and the Siam noodles (my favorite).”
“Everything is fresh, family-owned, and I love the Siam noodles.”
- What else to know:
Tuk Tuk Thai opened in 2016, as an offshoot of a popular Berkeley, Calif., restaurant run by the owner’s relative.
Some of us at the Star-Telegram love this place, too. This little gem is tucked in a strip center near UNT Health Science Center campus and is great for dining in or fast takeout.
The Siam noodle (or Khao Soi) that our readers recommend is egg noodles in a mild yellow curry broth with shrimp and chicken, topped with crispy noodles, red onion and a splash of lime. “Rich, warming, and full of Northern Thai flavor. A regional favorite from Chiang Mai,” the menu says.
The pad kra pao (sautéed garlic with bell pepper, onion & basil leaves) also is a favorite.
The hours are weekdays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 5-9 p.m.; and Saturday, noon-4 p.m. and 5-9 p.m.
