After a successful opening in 2020 on Campbell Avenue and an equally as popular second location in Oro Valley, Tuk Tuk Thai is ready to take on a new area of Tucson.
The Thai restaurant is hosting its official grand opening at 6878 E. Sunrise Dr. #160 on Saturday, January 21. The new Ventana location is near Inca’s Peruvian Cuisine and El Charro Cafe. It’s also right next to a Subway, making it even easier to think outside the bun and try something tastier.
For at least 30 years, Bud Sayso has owned and operated two Khao San locations in Portland, Oregon, and now he’s been treating the same concept to Tucsonans since its opening on Campell Avenue.
The restaurant announced that the full menu will be available on opening day, which can be checked out online.
Tuk Tuk Thai’s newest spot is located at 6878 E. Sunrise Dr. #160. The other two locations can be found at 2990 N. Campbell Ave. #130 and 12125 N. Oracle Rd., Suite 169. For more information, keep up with Tuk Tuk Thai on Facebook or visit tuktukthai2990.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
