Tuk Tuk Restaurant and Bar

Tucked away in the heart of Brisbane’s vibrant and bustling Park Road dining precinct in Milton, Tuk Tuk Restaurant and Bar offers a refreshing escape from the everyday grind. Since opening our doors in 2012, we have proudly established ourselves as one of Brisbane's favourite destinations for authentic Thai flavours, innovative handcrafted cocktails, and an atmosphere that instantly transports you straight to the lively streets of Thailand. Whether you are dropping in for a casual bite, celebrating a milestone, or grabbing a pre-event meal before heading to a game at Suncorp Stadium, Tuk Tuk promises an unforgettable culinary journey.

Our Background and History: A Decade of Culinary Passion

Founded in 2012, Tuk Tuk was born out of a profound love for traditional Thai street food culture infused with a modern, fresh approach. Led by Owner and Head Chef Mutita Photong (Chef Mu), the kitchen is driven by an uncompromised passion for bringing the true tastes of Thailand to Brisbane's dining scene.

Over more than a decade on iconic Park Road, Tuk Tuk has evolved alongside the local community. While Brisbane’s culinary landscape has transformed significantly, our dedication to scratch-made cooking has never wavered. We believe that true Thai cuisine cannot be rushed or replicated with pre-packaged shortcuts; every paste, sauce, and dessert is lovingly crafted in-house from scratch by our skilled kitchen team. This steadfast commitment to authenticity and quality is why generations of local food lovers continue to call Tuk Tuk their go-to Thai home.

What Makes Tuk Tuk Special?

Stepping through our doors is more than just going out for dinner—it is an immersive sensory experience. Several key elements set Tuk Tuk apart in Brisbane's competitive restaurant scene:

• The Tropical Garden Bar: Our stunning outdoor garden bar provides a lush, relaxed oasis. Complete with lush greenery and comfortable seating, it is the ultimate spot to unwind with a drink any day of the week.

• Scratch-Kitchen Philosophy: We skip artificial additives and commercial bases. Everything from our signature curry pastes to our dessert creations is made fresh in-house daily.

• Prime Location: Situated at 21 Park Road, Milton, we are located right on the corner of Gordon Street, just a stone's throw from Milton Train Station and an easy walking distance from Suncorp Stadium.

• Vibrant Community Vibe: We embrace a warm, inclusive, and dog-friendly culture (welcoming well-behaved pups in our outdoor garden spaces), making us a favourite gathering place for families, couples, and social groups alike.
