Tuk Tuk is a Thai restaurant located in Long Island City in Queens. It is very close to the 7 subway train, so it is easy to get to from Manhattan. It is similar to most Thai restaurants in Manhattan in terms of the food, the price, and the casual modern decor.

Reservations
The restaurant is pretty big. There were many open tables on a Friday evening.
Items Ordered
Shrimp Papaya Salad
Spicy "Vietnamese style" papaya salad with basil leaves and cherry tomato in a chili lime vinaigrette.
I didn't think the salad was very spicy. The papaya was tasteless, and the only taste in the salad came from the lime vinaigrette. The salad was ok, but it was not what I was expecting.
Special
Grilled marinated beef, eggplant, zucchini and Portabella mushroom with Thai chili paste. Served with green salad, grilled pineapple, and Jasmine rice.
I ordered the special thinking it must be really good, but I found the dish somewhat disappointing. It looked amazing, but it wasn't anything special. I found the beef tough. The sauce was nice, and just a little bit spicy. There was a nice combination of grilled vegetables and the grilled pineapple was nice and sweet.
Massaman Curry
Medium spicy with potato, cashews, bell pepper, and onion in coconut massaman curry. Topped with fried red onion.
The curry was great. It had lots of veggies and a really nice strong flavor. It said medium spice on the menu, and it was a reasonably spicy dish.
