This was an early answer to a common PC paradigm of sort of a beginner and expert mode. “I work there for lunch and come here for dinner,” the owner tells me. A decade earlier, as the early Macintosh and first Windows versions of Word and Excel were being built, the teams implemented a feature known as Short Menus. Tuk Tuk is run by the same team that operates The Chicken Rice, a Thai-inspired chicken-only restaurant no bigger than this one just a couple blocks away.

If you can’t handle the heat, it’s on you to speak up when ordering. It’s open from 6am-3pm, with a huge menu that ranges from eggs and pancakes to cheesesteaks and fried seafood platters, but no matter what you order, you’re going to leave full and happy. The crab is fresh and plump, generous chunks of it folded into the rice (along with a few unavoidable bits of crab shell), which is made deeply spicy by default with fresh green chilies and dried red chili powder. However, I don’t recall anyone else serving a version better than what emerges from the wok at Tuk Tuk. It’s the same pork that goes in the sandwiches, on noodles with salad.

I’ve sampled a little bit from each category, and all of it is pretty good. That new Thai shop is called Tuk Tuk, and the menu is relatively short: a tightly-edited selection of fried rice, a few noodles and pad kra pow.
