"Short version: Tuk Tuk might be cheaper, but the quality is very very low: ingredient quality, dish taste, service, and overall experience. KOhn Kaen is a little bit more pricier, but ingredients, dishes, service, and experience are all high quality. I was surprised that a town the size of Evian-les-Bains has two Thai Restaurants. And the two places are one street away from each other. Naturally, I was expecting comparable quality, the difference in price being based on how fancy the location is. After all Kohn Kaen is a larger, much better equipped place, and TukTuk is viewed as a fast food with only a few seats available. And I was so wrong. Tuk Tuk offers low quality noodles, with unpleasant taste that don 't remind much of Thai cuisine. The noodles are most of the contents of the box: the meat is a few very small pieces, that correspond in color to beef or chicken. Pad Thai? Unlike the noodles which are thin spagetti, these are thin strips of pasta with the same almost rubbery texture and little extra. On the other hand, Kohn Kaen is a treat. The service is excellent, and the staff speaks very good French. The service is rapid, and the explanations are good. To my surprise, the level of spicy in a recipe can and will be tuned to fit the order, a spectacular difference, as Tuk Tuk offers what it is , and, if needed the waiting staff can pour you a dose from the same large bottle of pepper sauce I can get in my local supermarket. At Kohn Kaen there was always someone to ask if everything is okay, to bring a new bottle of fresh water, and when we have left both waiters bid us good bye. At Kohn Kaen the food is excellent. It is not the best Thai I have eaten, but it 's one of the better ones. And the ingredients are good, as much as one can see in the bowl of food: whole leafs, whole mushrooms."
