I absolutely love Tuptim Thai. Their food and service is outstanding. I usually get the money bags because they are my favorite. The chicken pad thai was phenomenal. Don't get me started on the mango sticky rice! Also the thai tea was soooo delicious 😋 If you haven't tried it please go when you have the chance! It will not disappoint:)

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This place is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to go out to eat. Service is always quick and friendly. I like the carafe of water at the tables. Our last trip we got the calamari sticks for an appetizer. It was honestly the best calamari I’ve ever eaten. Usually it is a tougher consistency that some times can be described as chewing on a rubber band. These were nice and tender! The dipping sauce was a sweet & spicy sauce that was pretty tasty too. My husband has gotten a few different curry orders. He’s ordered them as “hot” or “Thai hot” and honestly for us, it’s not crazy hot. The heat is a nice balance to the sweetness of curry. All of them he’s tried have been good. The first time I went here I ordered the pad Thai gang dang and I haven’t been able to order anything else, it’s so good! It’s layered with fresh veggies that provide a nice contrast to the pad Thai itself. It is a little pricey at $20 but it’s enough food to make AT LEAST 2 meals out of. Do yourself a favor and squeeze the lime juice over the dish, it really brings out some amazing flavor. This last trip I ordered it as “Thai hot” and it wasn’t too spicy at all. I will keep ordering it that way. I highly recommend giving it a try. Update: the gang dang pad Thai ordered as “Thai hot” are spicier than when I was eating it at the restaurant. I will probably keep ordering it this way, but it’s something to be aware of.

We weren't too impressed with the wings or the coconut chicken sticks. The chicken sticks would be better if there was some form of coconut in the batter. As for the entrees, they were all very good. The service was excellent, and a nice atmosphere.
