Opted for the set Tuk Tuk menu, the food was good, however it was not hot, it was warm at best, and went cold very quickly. Also each course felt rushed, we had around 15 minutes of not being served, to then as soon as we ordered the food was served within minutes & bowls cleared before finishing. Service of the staff was polite, but not the best.

Wonderful lunch after many years not visiting Melbourne. Love the new venue ( we always went to the last location) . We absolutely loved the signature Pork Belly with chilli caramel and the Bang Bang chicken was so tender and flavoursome. All the dishes are beautifully presented and generous. Our wait person was a new girl from Manchester was she was so friendly and did an amazing job. Cant wait to return.

The restaurant was recommended by friends who had been before and it did not disappoint! All the food was exceptional - best pork belly we’ve ever had and the lamb ribs and wagu mince noodles were epic. Great value for money too. Staff were great - it was our servers first day and you could tell she’d been inducted well as she was able to advise on menu, portion sizes and drinks.
