Tuk Tuk

I rarely have lunch out during the week this being mostly due to work commitments, I usually end up grabbing something quickly to eat at my desk, sob! This is normally always a salad. Some days this just won't do.

Last week Thomas suggested we lunch at Tuk Tuk in Soho (previously Tuk Tuk Noodle Bar, Charing Cross Road), somewhere he used to regularly frequent, mostly when hungover. He recommended the Laksa.



This had chunks of chicken, a few prawns, some tofu and heaps of glass noodles. The laksa sauce was spicy and creamy and very satifying, portions are generous and prices are low. It's by no means the best laksa I've had, the quality of ingredients is certainly not their main concern but for something quick and bargainous this does the trick.

This place looks fairly unappealing but the service was swift and helpful, with a glass of tap water this came to £4.50 each and I was back at my desk within 45 minutes.

Great! I had the best Pad Thai I've eaten this side of Bangkok, in Tuk Tuk. Cheap, cheerful and great to grab a quick bite to eat. The staff are fine. They don't provide an amazing high-end service but they are efficiant and speedy.

I've been there a few times now and have never had a problem with the staff, I found them to be courteous and efficient. The food is great, good prtion sizes, not too overcooked and dead cheap. It's obviously not going to be gourmet given the prices and the type of place it is, but it's great for grabbing a quick bite to eat if you're in town shopping or maybe before an evening out. I would recommend it to anyone

Tuk Tuk is great, its cheap great look out onto Old Compton... The food is good for the price... The only complaint is the staff really. Before they are seating you they are waiting for you to pay the bill and leave to free up a table... Seeings as you are their bread and butter it should be that they should not pressue you into hurrying your meal to make room for another customer.. But its cheap and cheerful but dont be going there if you are looking to make an hour out of it!

The food are badly prepared and the ingredients are not fresh. The staffs are the worst thing in the resturant. They are rude, pushy and rush to give you the bills to get you out of the resturant as soon as you placed your order. Food is very cheap. Highly recommended if you like cheap food...
