The sister restaurant of Mid-City’s Chao Krung has a stylish new home on Sawtelle, where second-generation family chef Amanda Kuntee has expanded the menu with vegan-friendly items and Thai street food-inspired small plates. Although Tuk Tuk began accepting takeout orders in mid-February, the beloved neighborhood spot’s new pale pink dining room has only just opened for dine-in customers. Though you’ll find the usual Thai takeout mainstays here like pad see ew and panang curry, the newer dishes in the Street Noodle and Snack sections, like the kuay tiew hang (dried noodles with crab, barbecue pork, bok choy and wontons) and drinking-oriented barbecue squid provide more than enough justification to deviate from old favorites.

After over two decades on Pico Boulevard, this family-run Thai restaurant has relocated to more stylish yet casual digs on Sawtelle.
