Tuk Tuck in Bristol, City of

Easy to book, close to entertainment venues, fab food, friendly staff

I had the chicken red curry with rice which came to £9 . I was not able to finish it as there was quite a lot . I also had the Veggie Japanese gyozas which were delicious! There isn't very much room in the place, so It can be difficult to get a seat. Nice place to pop in and have a bite if you're passing by in town!

Bland... Sums it up. I am guessing western chefs for western taste. Nice staff Nice environment But food is disappointing in my opinion. Probably best to describe the restaurant as Asian fusion NOT Korean. Don't be scared to use chillies! Thai dishes Japanese dishes. I don't want to offend the establishment but just want to give honest feedback!

I hate leaving a bad review, but honestly this was one of the worst experiences of food I've spent money on! Arrived at 8:05 and we were showed to our table... menus were then unceremoniously thrown on the table and we were told they close in an hour🤷‍♂️. We had to leave in an hour so that wasn't that big a problem, let's do them a favour.... We got up and ordered all the food from the till, take the beer from the fridge (luckily I had a bottle opener on my key ring) otherwise we would have gone thirsty, from the warm beer... then the food arrives... let's go with luke warm, the team member oddly seems to get happier as every dish comes out as its closer to her clocking out... so let's run through them as quickly as she did: Dumplings, cold Spring rolls, greasy Bimbimpab, total jokeshop... meat option cold, veggie option mushrooms died a death earlier on in the day when they were cooked. Tinned sweetcorn and tinned bamboo roots, chucked over pickles (which tbf were ok) and cold rice,The kimchi loaded chips were apparently alright, but at this point I'd checked out. Stick to the Stokes Croft venue, this one is full of staff (I normally say team, but this isn't a team) that just want to clock out after there shift. Tbf we needed to be out for a gig round the corner within the hour... so full marks for getting us out in time!

It's rare for me to leave a review but I was so disappointed this evening. We chose Tuk Tuck as we know the Stokes Croft one to be good and needed a quick bite. However, walking in here, there was no interest or care from the servers and we were told 'we're closing in an hour' and tossed a menu. We ordered dumplings and Korean fries with tofu and kimchi. The dumplings were ready in minutes and lukewarm at best. My partner had the bibimbap which had a mixturen of canned corn and bean sprouts on, an egg and no sauce. We had to collect and open our own beers (thank goodness we had a bottle opener!). Such a shame when you bring people in, expecting decent food and atmosphere.

It's hard to eat, has no taste, added a lot of soy sauce and spicy sauce, but it's still hard to eat. I gave up halfway through the meal. I ordered bibimbap without the necessary kimchi, and even the beef seemed unseasoned. It can't be called a Korean restaurant.

We had a lot of food and 90% of it was really awful. Chewy chicken, tinned corn, the veg served with all food wasn’t pickled (it’s a Korean restaurant… ?) … pancake was soggy, dumplings were tasteless. I don’t feel good writing a bad review but I really feel like it needs to said about this place.

This is a cafe, it doesn't claim to be a restaurant, it sells Asian street food. The food (katsu curry, gyoza, fried tofu) was all excellent, the lady working helpful, and I got cutlery , contrary to other reviews.

Food is nice but don’t bother coming here if it’s 30 mins till advertised closing because they will be shut for some inexplicable reason.

Ate outside and had nice weather. Speedy delivery and tasty food options. We had the kimchi fries and also the bimibap. Both were very good

Avoid the bibimbap here. It lacks key ingredients like gochujang and sesame seeds. Service was friendly though.

A great option to eat well and at a reasonable price. The waitress was very friendly and the plate was a good size for one person to eat, I ordered rice with curry and chicken and it was delicious.

We visited this place with friends and really enjoyed it! Great food, with dishes from both Korean and Japanese cuisines. It's the only place where I could get Korean pancakes that were just as amazing as the ones I tried in Korea. The plates were vibrant and colorful, with a perfect selection of Soju flavors. The music was nice, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They have tables outside, so you can enjoy the nice weather while looking at Bristol city. The prices are still good compared to other places! Highly recommend!

Food was pretty good. Toilet I think holds the crown for the dirtiest bathroom in all of Bristol. The whole place really is filthy. Not sure how it has never been pulled up on this as it totally impacts on your enjoyment of the experience. Staff seem to get on like a house on fire, if only a little of the convivial warmth was shared with the customers who are left alone to feel like they’re being served in some student flat while the residents are out back having a laugh.

This is not korean food. It was OK, and I am sure people enjoy it but it was not korean food. I had the bibimbap it had an odd selection of veggies, raw carrot, and sweetcorn. None of them were flavored. The bowl was not a hot bowl and, therefore, didn't cook the veggies.

First time trying tuk tuk & Unfortunately me&my friend found the food bland ,no real taste and dry thankfully we used first table and got 50%off Also restaurant a little tired and in need luck paint etc No return for us

First time at Tuk Tuck. Great food from the gluten-free menu.

Excellent friendly amazing food and so reasonable

Used to be great but cutbacks after COVID has lowered the quality of ingredients. Ordered tonight and got the most grizzly, disgusting chicken I have ever eaten. Absolutely repulsive.

Really quick service and excellent food

Definitely more like a cafe/canteen than a restaurant - not really any waitress/waiter service as such. Very small, dated and could definitely do with a good clean and a lick of paint. The tofu starter was very tasty, however the main course of an Asian salad was extremely basic and disappointing. I am not sure that this would be a cafe I would rush back to. However, the food was reasonably priced.

Great food and prices good, we had the bibimbap and kimchi fries and they were delicious. Soju was quite pricey. Quite small and compact seating inside. Would definitely visit again

Tofu Katsu Curry was delicious. Lovely friendly staff too.

Not much to see from the outside this place is more cafe than restaurant, The dining area is tucked to the side of the takeawa. The food is excellent. Not fine dining but most certainly a good place to eat.

I never write review but the food here was amaaazing. I don't recommend the Korean fried chicken but the chicken pad tai was the best I've ever had. Lunch time menu is really great.

First time eating here, definitely will be back

Nice Korean and Japanese food restaurant I will say! They have bibimbap and kimchi dishes, as well as lots of curry dishes ha! The bibimbap is really good and they have 3 options with either beef,chicken or vegan. Very sweet to have quite a lot options included to cater most of the diets. The red curry is very yummy tooo! Instead of katsu curry that most of the stores provide, red curry is more soup-like and more spicy. The kimchi pancake is alright, I hope it is more crispy!

Very disappointing . Was more like a cafe..everything had to be ordered at the till and no table service. Had to ask for the dirty plates and glasses to be cleared a few times. As a group we asked for cutlery so we could share food but they didnt have any..only chopsticks . Food was disappointing too ..everything was swamped in sauce.... only one dish on menu was Thai. The Thai curry was like a Thai soup with rice in and so much sauce. Very limited menu for drinks and food too and not cheap. For the prices they charge, you would expect better quality and service. Very cramped restaurant too.

tried the bulgogi bowl (11.20£), it was ok, what you get is marinated steak strips with kimchi and lettuce. the bibimbap sauce is very good though and placed on every table so i put a generous amount on my food. i’d say it’s not authentic

The cuisine was great, and there were several vegan options. I would recommend coming here for any a meal because it was excellent. Also, the location is extremely close to the city. It provides a lovely, calm environment inside. My only concern was that they could need more ventilation because they serve fried food. The majority of the grease airflow circulates around the sitting area, making your entire clothing smell.

The only perfect thing was the chicken gyoza & kimchi. The place was impressively clean and tidy. The rice had a funny taste felt like its microwaved from the fridge… same goes to the curry sauce. + extremely pricey for what?!

To those giving this restaurant very positive reviews, it's either they haven't tasted delicious Korean food yet or they just have bland tastes. First, the staff served me pork when I specified beef bibimbap in my order. The meat looks and tastes like unflavored pulled pork. They probably thought that slapping julienned carrots, diced tomatoes, tinned corn, gochujang will make it a bibimbap and call it a day. Their gyoza tastes just like the one you can find in an Asian grocery store. The chicken katsu curry is decent though. What I don't understand is why their miso soup served in a teacup? And their sauce served in single-use plastic containers?

Bee beem bahp! Big go gee! Delicious!

Lovely meal. Lots of choice. Can't wait to go back and try something else.

Delicious food, really recommend the tofu katsu!

The red curry was absolutely overloaded with fish sauce, there was barely any other taste to it. The service was none existent, just dumped the food on the table and walked off. Have been to much better places that offer similar food.

You need to eat from here! - if you like fresh Korean food -ignore the low key dining style, they have great loaded fries, great sauce and that was the best salad bowl I have had in a long time from here to California!

Food is always fabulous and full of flavour!

A small but perfectly formed menu of bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, bao buns, kimchi pancakes, pad Thai and katsu curry raced out of a tiny kitchen and were absolutely delicious. This very relaxed restaurant (don’t wear your sequins!) attracts a steady stream of diners and let’s face it, anywhere that serves soju is a winner in my book.

Food was good, let down by the service. Two female staff with black hair tonight were incredibly rude and pulled faces at customers. There was a couple next to us that also were gobsmacked by the level Of service, slamming down bowls and being generally unpleasant. Shame for the owner, these are the people you’re employing. Never again, put off. Interestingly the toilet sign is reflective of their attitude, my advice to you, leave hospitality and work in a factory with no human interaction

Food is excellent and staff lovely but the restaurant was so cold - it was 4 degrees outside. There was no heating on & they were unable to shut the windows. Such a shame as this meant the food also went cold really fast. My previous experience of Bibimbap is its served in a hot bowl & stirred hence warming the vegetables up. This wasn’t the case so this dish was almost completely cold. If your customers are all sitting in their coats surely this denotes an issue?

This is a very average restaurant. If you’re visiting Bristol and want something special to eat I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Staff were friendly and it’s close to the centre.

Had food from here for Valentine’s Day. Was really nice, a little bit spicy but overall really enjoyed it.

absolutely delicious place, very affordable, generous portions, cute place, friendly staff and quick food. absolutely adored this place, we all cleaned our plates and are absolutely pinning this to come back to. thank you for an flawless meal, we were delighted.

Nice great food done well nice little place

Early dinner with the kids, lovely staff and a good mix of food ordered for everyone to enjoy, good place to people watch out of the window as well.

Dog friendly, great gluten free menu, vegetarian options and a lovely atmosphere, couldn’t have asked for more! We were in a rush and this place was perfect. Healthy yummy food, served with a smile. Great value for money too. We will certainly be back next time we are exploring Bristol.

Tuk Tuck: Not quite a Thai triumph! 🙃 Went on a food adventure at Tuk Tuk Bristol, and let’s say it was... interesting! I had chicken dumplings which had good filling inside, but was thick from outside. And in the second picture, it is Red Thai Curry - which had a kick, but not super flavorful, didn’t quite wow me. ☹️ Unfortunately, the rice stole the show for the wrong reasons. It was more like glue than fluffy grains, making every bite a bit of a struggle. My chopsticks did not approve! Let’s just say, the service wasn’t the smoothest operation. While Tuk Tuk’s flavors weren’t bad, they didn’t quite hit the mark either. The overly sticky rice and service hiccups pulled the experience down even further. Overall, it landed me at a 2.5 out of 5 star rating.

The Katsu at this place is incredible.

Not the best Bibimbap I've ever had, but the ambience is good. Not crazy expensive.

I ordered through deliveroo at a very quiet timeslot (lunch at 12pm). The food was cold, the dumplings rock hard and completely inedible. The bao buns tasteless, but the worst was the Korean fried chicken: nothing like it. few small pieces of dry hard chicken with some panko sprinkled on it and sauce that was covering all the (non existent) flavour. Everything seemed cheap frozen quality.

Went here today for the first time and will be the last time. We ordered the bibimbap, bulgogi with rice,1 cappuccino with oatmilk and 1 fruit tea. We had to wait for the cappuccino 20minutes which is not a big issue but even had to remind them that we had ordered 1 cappuccino with oatmilk. The lady gave it to us and we asked if it's with oatmilk because my partner can't drink milk! She said "yes" but her face wasn't sure. We tried and wasn't sure if it really was milk or oat. We think it's milk because he had stomach pain in 15 minutes! BE CAREFUL if you order food and drinks here if you have an allergy. Also avoid the kimchi because it was just tasteless. Literally nothing here is Korean food... avoid.

Fantastic food, well worth eating there

Casual dining atmosphere perfect no stress spontaneous style dinner. Good is absolutely lush, not pretentious just tasty and really reasonably priced. Love the plum tea and the watermelon soda and the tofu is crispy and lovely. We go all the time 😃😃

Very nice food, tasty and fresh. Properly cooked. Service was great as well.

The miso soup tasted like water, no flavour at all. The gyozas weren't the best or the rice. The fries are very good, best thing we ate. It's a nice price but not my favourite

Good service with fresh aromatic authentic food

Great food, casual atmosphere, really enjoyed it

If you like authentic Korean food, this is definitely NOT the place. Highly disappointed. Staff were nice though. Also, avoid the kimchi at all costs.

Bibimbap is supposed to be with bulgogi beef. This was served with pulled beef… for the reviews it currently has, this place is a massive disappointment and I would NOT recommend. Be aware what you are getting yourself into. Go somewhere authentic

Amazing Korean Red Chicken Curry dish Highly recommend here it’s not for comfort or atmosphere maybe some cushions on the cold metal chair! Food absolutely fabulous though enjoyed it so much will be back when visiting Bristol again!

Looks life a cafe food is amazing Brilliant taste we had the red curry with coconut milk I had the chicken one & my friend had the Tofu one Delicious sauce

How amazing that you don't to travel far to get experience of Korean Street food. Feels so authentic, so tasty, so wonderful. Ideal for solo lunch, dinner or small groups. Do try this place and you will find out that you love Korean Street Food too!

Had a mocha, was aufull absolutely no taste of coffee or chocolate, it was wet an warm no taste, never go there again

Delicious food, visually appealing and quick delivery service!

Nice spot to eat, food comes out quickly and is delicious. Beef bulgogi and bim bim bap were amazing! Staff were welcoming and attentive.

Really tasty. I subsisted pretty much entirely on their red Thai curry for about a week straight at one point and I didn't regret it at all. ❤

Had the Korean Tofu Nuggets here and they were delicious and I shared a lovely bottle of Soju with my friends. There was a bit of struggle at the counter with the payment machine causing a bit of delay and a queue to build, but everything still went smoothly.

Chicken katsu curry was very good for a nominal price!

The price of the food is ok, I guess, but the price for drinks in this place is just silly, £2.40 for a can, A CAN! I’ve not seen a price hike that astronomical since freddo decided to rip the world off! The quality of the food though is really good! I had the katsu curry and it was lovely! The service was really good and the staff are all really friendly! I will definitely be visiting again, just without the mortgage for a drink.

Had dinner here and it did not disappoint, the chicken katsy curry was amazing. Prices are good as well

My partner and I were starving and we couldn't have been happier. Food was great. Heaps of vegan options, couldn't fault it. Fantastic music (kudos to the DJ), amazing artwork. Honestly great choice, would absolutely recommend.

The best food I've ever had. Nothing there is flavourless, really recommend the bulgogi beef dish. Absolutely wonderful!

The pumpkin croquette was nice, but the main dish, Bibimbap was lacking. The rice was lukewarm, the vegetables were cold. This dish is supposed to be like a hot bowl, but it was quite cold which was disappointing.

Disappointing food, no seasoning, not even any kimchi. Bibimbap is better in a hot bowl; egg was overcooked. There is no service which I get but some smiles wouldn't hurt

Tasty dishes with variety of options. Slightly more modern or westernised Korean menu. I would definitely eat there again if I was in Bristol.

Good food, worth a visit. I recommend the Katsu!

Vegan kimchi fries were delicious, with loads of other vegan options too, and a solid choice of drinks.

KATSU CURRY - CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN 味道不錯，是日式咖喱的味道，不辣，配上珍珠米。 只是雞扒砌有點太細。 環境乾淨。

Fast service, tasty food and a nice atmosphere. Perfect for some where to eat before a show, gig or near by event.

This is some of the tastiest Korean food I've had for some of the best prices I've seen. The staff is also really friendly!

Great food at great price. The kimchi fries are absolutely fantastic!

A great place to try some Asian foods. I had the chicken Katsu which was awesome with the home made chilli jam. Great service.

I had lunch here on a weekend and it was very calm. We had the restaurant all for ourselves. The service was quick and efficient. I tried the pumpkin croquette curry which was delicious. My husband the vegan bibimbap and he liked it as well. The price is very reasonable too. I appreciate that they have few vegan options too.

elina was really helpful and kind :)

Kimchi fries are the one ! Delicious and actually loads of options. Vegan and meat eater friendly

Absolutely love it in here. Good everything

Went here for lunch with a mate. Ordered the pumpkin croquettes and beef bimbimbap and some drinks. Croquettes were delicious with a nice tangy tonkatsu sauce. Bimbimbap was ok, reasonable portion size but not very flavourful and there was not sauce at all just stewed shredded beef. Overall not bad at all, defo not the kinda place for an authentic Seoul experience but pretty good none the less.

Booked in advance - would recommend, as we went on a Saturday and there are not many tables inside. Really good food - we shared the tofu nuggets and I had bibimbap. Really tasty food. Great service too!

Fresh and delicious Asian food at very affordable prices. Worth seeking out.

Not the most authentic, but good value for the money. The kimchi fries are great

I’ve been to Tuk Tuk twice whilst on business in Bristol and the food is great. It’s not a fancy place (you can bring your own beers though 😀) but the food tastes delicious and is amazing value. The katsu chicken on a bed of sticky rice is particularly tasty.

Very Westernized so-called Bibimbap dish served with random ingredients, some raw, some cooked. But most baffled why they chose to serve it with beef brisket instead of the bulgogi strips that make this dish a staple in Korean cuisine. I regret not going to Franco Manca.

High quality ingredients, large portion sizes, and reasonable price. The bibimbap gives me cravings 🤤

Great place to go for food, they offer a wide range menu, to suit your requirements, the wide range menu consists of a children's menu

Food was tasty and reasonable price. Quick service. Staff was super friendly!

Banging food and the staff doing proper job, thanks a lot for hangover healing!

Délicieux et copieux, personnel très sympathique

Staff were completely useless. We booked a table for 8 but only had enough room for 6 and when we asked for me tables they said no we need them for orders. Eventually gave us an extra table. Rude and unenthusiastic about ordering. Food was bog standard

My partner and I stumbled across this on our first trip to Bristol together for a gig, and we couldn’t have been happier with our find! Tasty food that comes out as it’s ready with friendly staff :)
