Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen

We were in Basel for 1 night July 6, 2017 on vacation before heading off to Paris. We had a taste for Asian food and found this nice little place with decent ratings on TripAdvisor. We had a little difficulty finding it, based on errant directions from our hotel near the train station but find it we did. The meals we order were wonderful. They do not have much decor/atmosphere or A/C but they pointed some fans at us, gave us additional ice for our drinks and were as friendly as could be to us. Dishes are nicely presented too. Definitely one of our favorite meals on this trip thru Europe. It's not in the inner city by the river or touristy/arts district area but we think it's worth seeking out when in Basel. It's in a quiet mostly residential area of the city. We think it was reasonable for Switzerland too, based on 22CHF for her's and 28CHF for mine. Heck the 4 Cokes we drank cost 18CHF total.

Die Bedienung ist sehr nett, das Essen gut und frisch. Leider ist nicht, alles was auf der Karte steht erhältlich. Der Schärfe Grad stimmt auch gar nicht ganz. Bei Bestellung von Papaya Salat und Curry, jeweils mit 3 Chilis, entsprach die Schärfe bei beiden Gerichten kaum einer Chili Schotten.

Some mixed reviews on Google made us a little cautious but this was an absolute delight. Staff were warm, friendly and attentive, range of dishes, range of base (meat, veg, vegan), set menus and drinks/desserts was surprising.Food from the menu was absolutely amazing: freshly cooked, full flavoured, traditional dishes cooked to perfection.We have a new favourite Thai restaurant in Basel.

As new residents of Basel, my wife and I are thrilled to have Tuk Tuk Thai nearby to our home! It's quite expensive vs. what I'm used to paying (double the price vs the states) but I'm quickly learning this is on part as everything is expensive in Switzerland.The Red Curry, Green Curry, Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, and Summer Rolls are fantastic! I have yet to try competitors but in terms of overall quality and flavor, this is a 5-star for me so far.

Ich besuchte das Tuktuk zu Mittag an einem Werktag. Es wird ein sehr köstliches Mittagsbuffet zu einem sehr günstigen Preis angeboten. Im Buffet kann man Salat, den Hauptgang sowie Fruchtsalat auswählen. Bei den Hauptspeissen werden vegetarische Gerichte, diverse Fleischsorten sowie Fisch angeboten. Ich versuchte von allen Speisen und alle waren sehr köstlich. Das beste Thairestaurant welches ich bisher in der Schweiz besuchte. Ich kann es ohne Kritikpunkte allen weiterempfehlen.

One of us was a short time ago in Thailand and was impressed by the authenticity of the meals. Really the impression to be back in Thailand ! The dishes were beautifully presented with lotus flowers. The waiters were very pleasant and most importantly the meals tasted great! Try the Tuktuk appetizer special (great papaya salad) and the Tuktuk ice tea! We loved the pad thai (with ground peanut bits on the side) ! We will definitely be back. Kob kun ka! ☺️

Es fühlt sich an wie in Thailand !Meiner Meinung nach das beste Thai Restaurant in Basel. Sehr authentische speisen mit hoher Qualität und wunderschön angerichtet. Super freundliches Personal. Kommen sehr gerne wieder.
