Our Story
Tuk Tuk began as a dream shared between two Cardiff University students. Mighty wanted to bring the vibrant, authentic flavours of Thailand to the city, while Sean, who grew up in the restaurant world, understood the magic that happens when food and passion come together.
Together, we created Tuk Tuk - a home for Thai cuisine in Cardiff where every dish reflects our journeys and experiences across Thailand. Great recipes and warm hospitality are at the heart of everything we do.
In the summer of 2018, with a little help from friends, family (and a few credit cards), we found our spot on Crwys Road and Tuk Tuk was born.
The first couple of years were our testing ground, giving us the chance to experiment with recipes and menus while learning what our guests loved most. The restaurant had a more stripped-back look, but some of our classics were already on the menu like our legendary Wing Zap, Pad Thai, and fan-favourite Banana Spring Rolls.
In 2020, while the world slowed down, we decided it was the perfect time to give Tuk Tuk a full refurb, strengthen our brand, and relaunch our menu - sharper, bolder, and truer to the spirit of Thailand.
Today, our entire menu is made fresh in-house by our passionate team of foodies including our delicious range of desserts and ever-changing specials.
So hop on board and join us as we ride through the flavours of Thailand!
