Tuk Tuk Thai Food

Great spot for thai food! Everyone was very friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. The portions are large so you won't need much else after this!

If you’re looking for authentic Thai, look no further than Tuk Tuk Thai. Their Chicken Green Curry is a must-try—the curry is fragrant, the portion is very generous, and they don't skimp on the herbs. The basil was fresh and added such a wonderful brightness to the meal. The dish came with eggplant, zucchini, peas and green beans. My favorite spot in town!

Outstanding food, generous portions, friendly service. There were only 2 of us so we split everything. The order of summer rolls avocado style could be a meal on its own. The rolls came with 2 sauces - one sweet and the other a peanut paste. The Pad Thai with chicken was ginormous! As we ate, it was like we weren’t making a dent at all. Washed it all down with Thai iced tea. There’s a tent with tables & chairs for easy dining.

Excellent food truck close to the volcano. They are very accommodating and knowledgeable of dietary needs. It was a delicious choice for a quick bite waiting for Kīlauea to fountain plus gluten free spring rolls!

With an overall 4.7 star google rating, we had high hopes for this place, but it just didn’t hit that mark. We were very glad to see a covered tent with a lot of tables adjacent to the food truck as the weather turned between the time we ordered and the time our food arrived (about 15-20 minutes to get our food as there were a number of orders in front of ours). At the ordering window, there is a sign that they prefer cash, so that’s what we did. When our name was called to pick up our order, it was heavy — so the amount of food is plentiful, and the price was reasonable ($50 total, and we had plenty of leftovers). We ordered the summer rolls (2 rolls, cut in half) with shrimp which were really fresh and the side sauces were great. We then ordered the pad see ew and yellow curry, both with chicken. We both definitely preferred the pad see ew as the yellow curry had too many potatoes and seemed over salted. We have been to a number of Thai restaurants in our travels, and the only way we were able to describe the flavor of our main dishes was that both the pad see ew and the yellow curry tasted too ‘brown’ in its sauces rather than having a pop of freshness to them. There aren’t many choices for food in the Volcano area, so this is a good bet.

Food and quality is outstanding! Not to mention the portions for a food truck! Lovely staff and to our surprise it was their first day back after being closed! Stop here for some amazing quality Thai food!

Such a hidden gem! This small, cute food truck on a golf course is run by the friendliest ladies. We tried the avocado curry with shrimp (my first time having it and it was so good), chicken fried rice, and spring rolls.. everything was full of flavor. The Thai iced tea was delicious too! There’s a shaded tent right next to the truck where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Portions were generous, we even had to take some back to the hotel. Truly not just “good for a food truck” but some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had.

You can read Any of the reviews & know this place is worth a visit. Anticipate spending $30+, because you're gonna wanna get multiple things, for sure. But it'll be worth it. Their entire menu is amazing, and though making a choice was hard, everything I got was Delicious. Spring rolls with peanut sauce, Tom Kah with shrimp, Pad Tai with Chicken, & the pineapple curry- 🤌 Large portions. High quality. Feel good food.

Tuk Tuk Thai Food Truck is a solid stop if you’re craving something spicy on the island. The flavors were good and the food definitely had a kick, which is hard to find here. We appreciated the spice level and overall it was a decent meal. Only downside—the meat tasted a bit too processed for our liking. Still, if you’re in the area and want something flavorful and quick, it’s worth a try.

We stopped by this yummy food truck after leaving Hilo, after the volcano. We had 4 different plates, each was tasty. Very hot (temperature) and just spicy enough. Service was very friendly. The spring rolls were yummy, hot, crispy. The dessert rolls were also good. The coffee was excellent. Well worth getting slightly off the road. We were there on a Sunday that had a pet adoption event, it was fun to see and pet some dogs.
