Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft Restaurant Review

: The offspring of established Atlanta restaurateurs, Dee Dee Niyomkul convinced her fiancé to use the money they had saved for their wedding to open a restaurant. The spare, modern space features an endless loop of projected images of Thailand, including the motorized cabs that give this place its identity --- the tuk tuk. Niyomkul cooks all manner of Thai street food. A clever bundle of small plates offers such treats as homemade sausages from northeastern Thailand, northeastern Thai beef jerky, grilled chicken livers, steamed buns and dumplings. We like the tiny triangles of crispy fried dough enclosing nicely seasoned vegetables. Then there are the noodle dishes, such as ba mee moo dang, which tops the noodles with Thai barbecued pork slices; another crowns glass noodles with either chicken or shrimp, with a perky squeeze of lime. For dessert, get the mango with sticky rice (a portion big enough for two) when in season. The best wine to complement the food is a clean, refreshing sparkler, such as the Domaine Chandon sparkling rosé. Most of the by-the-bottle choices are well thought out, but bring friends as the by-the-glass options are uninspired.
