“The service was excellent. Very happy to talk to us and recommend and help us decide. Very authentic taste and many good choices. It's been in business for 15 years, so that tells you something, especially for that area. My new favorite Thai restaurant!”
“The food was amazing!! We had the money bags, green curry, and pad see ew. All were very good, and the curry was phenomenal. AND....BYOB:) $40 for an amazing meal out... ridiculous!”
“Tusk is a cherished restaurant for my brother and his family so I have had their food in take out form a couple of times before but back in January was the first time I dined in at the restaurant. It’s a cozy byob spot with a large menu offering a variety of Thai dishes. We had a big group of 10 people that my brother called ahead for and I have to say that I was pretty surprised they were able to accommodate us on a Friday night given how busy it was throughout our time there. The staff was on it all night so the service was very smooth from appetizers all the way to dessert. I was happy to be able to go with such a large group as we got to sample a bunch of things. For appetizers alone we shared orders of summer rolls, chicken satay, potstickers, money bags, gyo, cucumber salad and the lettuce wraps. For an entree I ordered the Koong Kra Tiem which came with big jumbo shrimp and was really savory. The steamed vegetables were a little bland but wiping up the extra sauce from the shrimp fixed that. Other notable dishes were the basil beef stir fry my dad got and the Green Fire chicken and Thai fried rice my brothers ordered. I really appreciate what Tusk offers in terms of food but what has made them stand out is their commitment to service and how kind they are. I’m sure my family and I will be looking forward to enjoying a meal from their restaurant again soon.”
“Wow, every time I come here I find new cuisine. That is absolutely insane. The hot pot soups not only are they inexpensive but men are they feeling?”
“Delicious food! We took it to-go in order to enjoy the beautiful weather”
“Tusk first off has a great family and kind staff so you can't go wrong ever with that. They are a really tasty Thai restaurant option in Batavia. They do have very nice pad se ew not the best I've had but very good. Their appetizers are super great! Chive dumplings are wonderful, tofu salad option they have is amazing too for vegetarian options, the summer rolls are super fresh and light and clean. You really can't go wrong. I prefer to take out than done in since more of a cramped small space for restaurant. If you enjoy Thai food you should try all kinds of different Thai restaurants cause each one has their strengths and weaknesses that's my suggestion. Food is affordable here too.”
“I had high hopes since the reviews were good, and I’m honestly not sure how? Everything was so so bland. The crab rangoon and Thai eggrolls had no flavor at all. The pad see ewe and pineapple fried rice had a little more flavor, but not much. For $46 this meal was very lackluster and I won’t be back and the search will continue for a good and local Thai restaurant.”
“Food is wonderful, happy to oblige re dietary restrictions. Last time I was in my server was a gentleman who was incredibly kind. Also, not sure if this is the norm, but lunch specials are super affordable and they bring complementary spring rolls.💝”
“Quiet and beautiful little restaurant! We were the only customers when we went to lunch here and the service and food was amazing. The portions are perfect for lunch time and had the right amount of spice.”
