Tuk Tuk Asian Bistro in North Down

Tonight will be the last. Yet again satay skewers came with very little satay sauce and incredibly small portion of chicken on skewer. Not the first time it has happened and was told it would never happen again. Previously told the cost of peanuts had increased. But the portion size was just ridiculous. Thai chicken curry tonight had 7 small pieces of chicken and full of half cooked carrot. Used to get courgettes but clearly it’s too expensive to include it now? Nearly £25 for a takeaway and get served this garbage. Never again Clearly Garth has no care for his business anymore which is a real shame as it used to be a great.

Restaurant has definitely gone downhill from what it used to be. Lacking in atmosphere despite being so close to Christmas. Food very poor . Chips were reheated and our Basil Chilli chicken was awful, consisting of ground chicken in a watery chilli soup . Waiter informed but no action taken . Would not recommend Tuk Tuk and sadly would not return . Shame as it used to be excellent.

Gone badly downhill to the point where it's difficult to justify ordering. One of the hallmarks of a truly great restaurant is consistency..a place where you know it'll be as good and taste the same every single time. Unfortunately Tuk Tuk has been suffering badly from inconsistency for quite a while now. When the Ards restaurant opened, my family would order at least once a week as they had the best chicken satay anywhere, it was always the same, always had an incredible flavour and could be relied on. Fast forward to now and it's the wild west, you never know what you're going to get depending on who is cooking, it'll be a vegetable satay most of the time with varying amounts of sauce, one night it'll be a level 7 spice the next it'll be a 2, the next you'll have a full container followed by a half full container. It's a shame because both restaurants can no longer be relied on.

Great little find. We randomly ended up heading to Bangor and needed somewhere to grab some lunch. Found Tuk Tuk via Google maps. What a lovely place. Great service, lovely food, well priced.

This is the second time we visited this restaurant as a family this month and again the food and service were exceptional. It’s great that you can bring your own wine and they provide coolers and will put it in the fridge until you need it Our server was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the food and made excellent recommendations. The restaurant made us aware through a discreet note that cash is better for their business and I made sure that the second time we visited we paid in cash. We need to look after our small businesses so we can enjoy them.

Never fails... Amazing Thai food packed full of flavour and friendly staff!

Great food but be aware that vouchers only valid for 6 months. Lost £50 last night because I didn’t notice it expired end of June. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth…..

Delicious food worth the price. Lovely friendly staff wish they’d branch out to Dublin would be great. Come and eat you will not be disappointed.

Always have the best meals here. Food and service is top notch 👌

Very nice restaurant , lovely staff . Good atmosphere and nice food . If you want to drink wine or something you can bring your own and pay for the corkage . Nice decor. One toilet. All on the same level. Manu with a lot of options. We were there in the middle of the week and it was busy in the evening so better book a table or go early.

Good food, friendly staff and will be back!

Deliciously fresh array of flavours. We ordered a broad selection of dishes and loved them all, with crispy duck, tender meats, crunchy vegetables and tasty sauces.

I’ve ate here loads of times but the last few times I’ve noticed a drop in quality. Tonight’s was bad, almost inedible - chicken was tough, it had a jelly like consistency. They seem to have resorted to lowering quality to save money. I don’t think I’d go back after that meal tonight, shame because it used to be a favourite of ours!

We love this place. Second time back, and the lunch specials are just as filling and utterly delicious as the evening meals. The service is welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. But it’s the flavour we come for - absolutely stunning. So keen I forgot to take photos! 😅

Went here for dinner and the restaurant was busy and buzzing. The menu has a good variety of dishes and the waiter was attentive and friendly. The food came promptly after we ordered and was delicious. Will definitely be back soon.

We drove about 45 minutes for dinner and it was well worth the drive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was outstanding. We would be happy to make the journey again.

This is a busy brilliant little place with an extensive Thai and Vietnamese menu. Papaya salad came to life with lime . Salt prawns were generous for a starter. Pad Thai and chilli beef were lovely mains with the right amount of spice. Rice was extra but the prices were reasonable. This place does not serve alcohol but charges corkage for alcoholic drinks. We also ordered sparkling water from the menu. In the middle of the bomb site that is Bangor this is a treasure to be savoured. And the locals clearly do. Warning- book online before you come. The staff are so busy serving that they don’t keep track of cancellations and turned us away because we had no reservation. We went outside and booked a table then came back in. This place is clearly valued by locals on a Thursday night. The kitchen is great. As good as I have had in Singapore and London. Delicious.

Great asian/Filipino food here!

Ordered takeaway took 1.5 hrs arrived cold and looked as if tinned vegetables were used with soggy battered prawns soup was like water dumplings marble size and cold for 25 pound was laughable soup in plastic container wrapped in cling film .Definitely put me off going for sit down meal . A memorable experience for wrong reasons.

Superb meal, Tuk Tuk never disappoints always excellent food and service

Tuk Tuk is a bright light on an otherwise dull harbour front in Bangor. What an absolute delight! Great service, friendly, informative, helpful but never overbearing. The food…was simply astonishing. The squid starter was outstanding…perfectly cooked in the thinnest and crunchiest tempura batter and a delicious chilli sauce to dip it in. I could go on…but suffice to say the other dishes we had were equally tasty. We have one more night in Bangor, and we are heading back tomorrow to explore the menu further.

Staff super helpful and freindly accommodated us although busy , attentive and great atmosphere, food amazing and fully recommend ed.

We visited on a busy Friday evening. Food was presented well and delicious. My wife’s vegetarian and had the baked pineapple rice dish. I had chicken satay and Thai crispy beef. Atmosphere good with casual dress code. BYO. Will be returning Highly recommend 😎

We have visited this place many times over the years. Whilst it was about 6 months from our last visit, we returned last night with four friends who arrived for a short visit by yacht, and who can be quite choosey about their food. Far from disappointed we had a truly fabulous meal which included a large array of starters mains and sides, all of which were delicious and presented exquisitely. All of our friends commented on how fantastic everything was. The restaurant is decorated in a very attractive and intimate Asian style, and is also complimented by first class warm and friendly service from Johnny and his dedicated staff. Stand out dishes…. All of them.!!! Can’t wait to return.

Such a great find. Great food, great staff. We had crispy duck and a curry. They were both delicious. Nice place. BYOB. They prefer cash, for good reasons, so try and pay with cash (but you can pay with a card if you don´t have cash). Highly recommended.

Fantastic food, will be back soon.

Although we visited on Mother's Day, it wasn't too busy. Food was very good, but service perfunctory at best. Long wait between starters and mains, which was a challenge with 3 kids at the table and at no stage of the wait were we approached by any of the waiting staff. Had to ask for a jug of water twice and my wife ordered a second diet coke which never arrived. Also, waited too long for our table to be cleared after eating so I could ask for the bill, so I just ended up going up to the counter to pay. All in all, not a bad experience, just ok. Maybe caught them on a bad night, but I'll not be rushing back.

Great Asian Restaurant with delicious Thai and Far Eastern cuisine. Make sure you book as this place is VERY popular everyday of the week. The Pad Thai is especially good and thoroughly recommended (best I've had anywhere in Europe).

Food was great as always. Two of our party couldn't make it last minute although they had only set table for 6 anyway instead of 7 but still wouldn't allow full deposit because apparently they could have reused the table... how I've no idea. Also over charged corkage and then 2 minutes past 2 hours slot told us next party had arrived and we had to leave... the other party hadn't arrived at all! Left a sour taste in our mouths... One of our party also asked 4 times for toothpicks before we eventually got them!

Amazing food, exceptional service. Delicious food. Super accommodating for me as a pescatarian coeliac! Came after years of recommendation and it was excellent. Fresh tasting and authentic cuisine.

My usual takeaway was closed so we tried to order from here. Walk in and was told they do takeaway orders in the shop but we're happy to take my order for delivery. I didn't order.

High quality food, great decor and fantastic staff! Would highly recommend to Friends and Families, the Nonya Crispy Chicken Curry especially!

Food is superb 👌 Fresh, flavoured 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Let me start by saying that I’m blown away by everything about this place! The food that we had was a solid 12/10. My friend and I originally ordered one main each, mango & coconut and the sea bass. It was so good that we asked our server to give us the menu again and we ordered 2 more mains each. Being aware that we may be spending a longer time at out table, the server was very enthusiastic in making us feel comfortable to enjoy our meal and assured us that they were happy to accommodate us even longer. The service here is excellent! Friendly and home-y. It feels like dining at a family’s house. The place definitely passed the vibe check. And again, the FOOD! I think I might be dreaming about the meal we had for the next couple of weeks! Top-notch food, excellent service, amazing vibes! Slay the house down bootsss!

I was expecting great things based on the reviews and awards. The staff was friendly and efficient, the place is attractive and the food was disappointing. I think it’s probably been great in the past but now maybe not trying very hard.

Lovely family reunion dinner at The TukTuk Asian Bistro. Always happy have been returning once every now for the freshly cooked south east asian meals. Staff were friendly, attentive and very friendly! Atmosphere is great and highly recommend for anyone wanting a taste of authentic asian food!

Lovely wholesome Thai and Asian food. Could tell the extra care they take with the freshness and quality of their produce. Staff lovely and pleasant and professional. Will be back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The restaurant was very busy when we arrived. The music level and tunes were just perfect were you could hear everyone at your table but not others. The food was fantastic beyond what i expected. Duck wraps are a must. Highly recommended.

Our family had a take away last Saturday night. The food never disappoints us and the time slot was as promised. I can't recommend tuk tuk bangor enough food is always delicious 😋 hot and delivered with a smile.

Food was excellent but service was very poor. First time at the Bangor Tuk tuk and was a disappointing revelation that although we opened our own wine and beer it cost us £4.50 - there were no prices on the specials but the one we ordered was £5 dearer than the dishes on the menu. We would have had a desert but staff were too busy setting up tables for tomorrow to come back and take our order. Will get a carry out next time!

Great family dinner here last week, great staff and great food, absolutely outstanding, couldn't fault anything about our visit , excellent

Had a great time with the lads on our trip to Belfast and were told to stop into tuktuk by some friends. Food was BANGING and service was excellent 👍🏼 Shoutout to the owner for being such a sweetie. Will definitely be back on my next trip maybe with the wife and kids!!!!!

I took my wife to tuk tuk last Saturday night on a date night, the meals we had were really tasty, we both had the curry puffs to start with, I then had the seabass my wife had the Vietnamese chicken and black bean sauce with jasmine rice both meals fresh hot and delicious, staff friendly and very noligable of every thing on the menu, we have a family meal coming up in April and this is where it will be held, looking forward to our next visit, thanks everyone for making it very enjoyable.

TUK TUK is the nicest place to eat sit in and also takeaway. All there dishes are exceptional, my favourite dish would be the Thai crispy duck with the salted chilli chips. The service was A star and I would definitely recommend.

Brilliant service, staff were all very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Thai crispy duck with salt and chilli chips

Top quality chefs and staff. Very precise with what they do. All know their stuff and always go that extra mile. Definitely a place to be

Not sure how anyone can poorly rate this. Top quality from food right the way to customer service and presentation. Will definitely be back

A lovely date night out with my wife. Staff were so knowledgeable about the food and recommended the Thai Tao Bahn with beef and my wife opted for the vegetarian Malaysian Satay with coconut rice. A fab night with fab service. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we will be back ❤️

Is there a way to rate negative? I came here with a couple friends to celebrate a special occasion. It all seemed good at first, until the waiter accidentally gave a non-vegetarian dish to my vegetarian friend (who, btw is strictly vegetarian for moral &...

I went to tuktuk a week ago and was appalled by the service a young man got and so I'm leaving this very negative review, this is my first review of any kind and so hopefully this gives my opinion about how bad this was....

Had a great catch up with friends, the food was amazing and the service was excellent. All in all a fab night out and I would recommend this restaurant

TERRIBLE staff and service. My friend who is strictly vegetarian for religious reasons asked for a vegetarian pad Thai, and he was served a chicken one. While we did receive a discount and resolve the issue at the moment, we received a very unpleasant call...

Had a lovely lunch here with my dad a couple of days ago. I had Chicken Satay and the Tuk Tuk Special Fried Rice and my dad had Curry Puffs and a Chicken Pad Thai. They are very accommodating when it comes to modifying your order and I didn’t want any fish sauce in my dish and it didn’t come with any. The restaurant is not licensed so if you want a drink you will have to bring one with you, although this didn’t detract from the great freshly cooked food. My only ever so slight criticism is that even at lunchtime, the restaurant is quite dark, and for someone with poor sight or partially sighted this might be challenging. Other than this small thing, service was very friendly and quick and the food was excellent.

Takeaway for 9 people. A variety of dishes. Was delivered on time - food was freshly cooked and delicious. Chips were best I’ve ever tasted. Sauces fresh and full of flavour. Superb standard of food.

Food was so fresh and tasty... really enjoyable night, we had the duck and black bean...sweet potatoes fries where delicious... staff very helpful and pleasant

Good is absolutely amazing, super friendly staff well presented layout... Highly recommended to everyone.

Wow! Had a take away from here tonight and it was fabulous. The flavours were fresh and delicious. You could taste every ingredient. This is our new spot, it will be a sit in next time. The delivery was on point too, the food was...

If you are looking for quality Asian food with lots of choice, this place is a must visit. It has become a regular haunt of ours because the food is excellent and the staff provide great service, especially Ethan and Will. Turn around is quick if you are looking for a quick bite to eat or you can equally make a night of your visit. You will not be disappointed, the food is hot, tasty and presented well. It is a bring your own restaurant so don't forget your favourite tipple when you visit for a small corkage charge. See you again soon!

We came 3 people for an evening meal. Was quickly seated and handed the menu, that was as expected all Asian dishes. All of the dishes that we choose were very tasty. Please see photos. Our server Max was very attentive.

We had such an amazing night in tuk tuk, Will was an exceptional server and the food was incredible.

1st time visiting this venue after being very impressed with their sister restaurant in Ards. Very good as expected, great value lunch menu, look forward to returning

Samon fishcakes oozed out grease as you cut them. Deepfried and inedible, the waiter did not even question why they were untouched when he removed the plates, perhaps because it was so obvious. The 'special' fried rice was far from it. Stuck together like a...

Absolutely LOVE TukTuk. Favourite restaurant in Bangor. We ordered a take away on Friday night, first time as we usually set in. Arrived VERY promptly and VERY hot. Delivered by nice friendly driver. Just the same quality of food, as sitting in . Thank you

Lovely small restaurant with selection of dishes from Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Good options for vegetarians and if you ask for vegans as well. Very fresh. BYO wine

Really stodgy food, sold us as much as they could, not worth the money. Horrible food. Will not be back, out third visit. Never again!

Great meal yesterday, top quality nice surroundings and good staff

Happened to be in Bangor and stumbled into this place, while looking for another. It was fate! We managed to sneak in before the dinner rush and watched others get turned away. Make a reservation! The food was great and came out in a very timely manner, which is very important to us, as we have young children. I worked at a Thai restaurant before and ordered a couple of my favourite things. While a bit different from what I was used to, I was still very happy with my food. My wife was also very happy with her dish. We look forward to going there again, if we are in the area.

First take out in NI, outstanding quality and flavour. Thanks very much

Amazing food and staff were helpful and attentive!

Tuktuk was recommended by chef friene off mine and as chef I couldn't recommend it more what amazing foods the flavours smells and beautiful venue one my new favourites will be back 😀 from @deanodacampo

Wonderful atmosphere and staff very good. Mains were quite bland. Nice presentation, but dish had more veg than chicken which was disappointing. Overcharged on corkage, but the waiter rectified this when pointed out.

Never fails always fabulous food. Flavours are amazing

It’s about our 4th time to Tuk Tuk - both take away and sit in. But enough is enough as we were overcharged again , by £30. And this is the 3rd time, which simply can’t be an accident Food was good to be fair...

Heard great things, but was sorely disappointed, I opted for a mango coconut chicken dish, I struggled to eat it, tasted like chicken with Mango Yoghurt, she had a duck dish, fat not crispy, and was very bland, rice was good but chip were cold.

Amazing food and great service. If you’re after great Asian fusion food in Bangor this has to be at the very top of your wish list. Well priced and super tasty - will definitely be back.

Lovely birthday dinner. The staff made my birthday so special and everyone enjoyed their food.

Really lively spot, great buzz and the food was superb. They managed to squeeze us in with no reservation and the service was friendly and welcoming

First time in the bangor Tuktuk and I was very impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food arrived quickly and portions were decent. The prawn crackers were great too! Overall ambiance was very good.

First time at tuk tuk bangor and will definitely be back. Food was amazing and I highly recommend the curry puffs and the crispy beef. My partner had the duck wraps and the massaman curry. Both dishes were very flavoursome with fresh ingredients used in all dishes. The Salt and Chilli chips are a must!! Service excellent from the welcoming to the end. Couldn't recommend it enough

Visited here with my wife for dinner last week. Food was excellent especially the scallops and squid starters. Service was very hit and miss - started off brilliantly but then had to wait a good 15 minutes before being asked if we wanted any desserts and then another 20 minutes for the bill to come after having to ask twice. I don’t necessarily blame the staff as they were just very busy with a full restaurant and you could see they were struggling to get tables re laid for guests coming in and really trying hard, but maybe would have been worth another staff member being with them to take some pressure off, which is why I have given 4 stars and not 5. Will not put us off from coming back again though as it was overall a very nice and enjoyable evening.

Have been twice for the lunch menu. Food and service outstanding.

This is my first review of Tuk Tuk as I’m relatively new to TripAdvisor!! As always, the food in Tuk Tuk was so fragrant and delicious. Six of us all had a starter and main course each and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choice of food....

Gorgeous little restaurant with beautiful decorations. And the food was absolutely first class. Our waiter was very friendly too. First time here but wont be the last. Thank you 😊

My husband and I returned to TukTuk on Wednesday evening. We go quite early, 6pm, and was starting to get busy. I ordered spring rolls to start & Vietnamese chicken in Black bean sauce. My husband ordered squid, followed by Vietnamese glazed chicken. Faultless. It...

Love this place, great food, great service, relaxed atmosphere

Had dinner here last night and food was ok. Nothing to overly complain about but it was a little plain and definitely lacking something. On previous occasions it’s been a lot better. Service was pleasant. Toilet was dirty.

Fabulous food and can easily cater for gluten and lactose intolerances, friendly and warm atmosphere will definitely come again.

Great pan Asian food and great service. Good value and always a pleasure to visit or take -away.

Very busy and it is annoying being made to leave, to give your table up, especially when being out with a big party. Lovely food. Would recommend if you don't like hanging about after you've your feed 👍

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent meal here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. EverythIng was excellent. We had booked the previous day which was sensible as restaurant was full. You need to pay £10 deposit online. Very pleasant ambiance. Service very good. We brought...

Food soooo amazing and fresh. Best I’ve had outside Thailand. Staff very friendly but bless them they were run off their feet, still managed to have a good rapport with the table though. Will be back…would tomorrow be too soon.

Absolutely brilliant place, and the food is so tasty with clean plates all round. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and defo visit again.

Really enjoyed the food at TukTuk Bangor - I am not normally into noodles, but I ordered a noodle dish and the taste was so delicious. It was also my friends first visit and she also thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service was also very good....

We really enjoyed our meal and appreciated being able to choose from so many Thai/Vietnamese/Malaysian dishes. Service was friendly and prompt, though not rushed.

Genuine Asian food with wide ranging menu. Service by Will and other staff not only efficient but exceptionally personable. Will definitely dine there more often. Congratulations to all involved. M

Our family of 17 people from 8 years old to 90 year old enjoyed a beautiful meal at tuk tuk bangor last night ,The food was so good but even better was the customer service , I had sent a lot of messages due to...

Beautiful tasty and fresh food and excellent service as always. A very enjoyable experience. Will be returning.

Visiting last night for a birthday celebration for 3 adults and a teen. Service from Vanessa was outstanding, she really is a credit to the restaurant! As usual the curry puffs were to die for and the meal was tasty, fresh and well presented. The...

The best Asian cuisine in Bangor. The staff are super friendly & attentive. We had the Thai,basil and chili beef and it was delicious. The udon noodles are well a try if you like spicy food. Easy to pay & it's a BYO.

The food in the restaurant is very tasty, however, the surroundings and space within the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired.
