Tuk Tuk Thai Bistro

This is the first and most expansive of three Tuk Tuk eateries to translate the Thai street-food concept into American fast food. The dishes all celebrate freshness, flavors, textures and colors, with an emphasis on noodle bowls, grilled or barbecued meat and chopped-to-order salads.
