Tuk Tuk Snack Shop is the brick-and-mortar restaurant from nationally-acclaimed Chef Sam Fore in Lexington, Kentucky. Fore began her culinary career with pop-ups in 2016 and grew to travel around the country cooking in Michelin-starred and James Beard-recognized kitchens. She was recently recognized as a Finalist for Best Chef: Southeast for the 2023 James Beard Foundation Awards and has been honored by multiple national publications.

Deeply influenced by Fore’s upbringing and culinary journey, Tuk Tuk Snack Shop’s menu thoughtfully marries Sri Lankan techniques and ingredients with classic Southern dishes categorized into unique mains, sandwiches, snacks, sides, and desserts.

This was our third trip. The first two were great. This time it just didn’t hit the mark. The food was disappointing. I am thinking it was an off night so we will return.

Traveled several hours to get here and it was worth every mile! It is a unique menu and I was sorry I couldn’t try everything. The live garden wall is beautiful. What a fabulous addition to central Kentucky. The owner/chef came out to speak and I wanted her autograph!

Tuk Tuk is a renaissance of “local watering hole” meets expert culinary fusion. Every menu item is curated with curiosity, precision, but ultimately care. Sam, Chris, Carolyn, and the whole gang have crafted something that feels like fine dining on vacation but also the warm hug of a loving relative after time apart - it’s like your favorite sweatpants but made out of the best cashmere - it’s the feeling you get when you take a scary risk and it pays off ten fold. The cocktails? Creative! The snacks? Each a mouthful of magic. The fried chicken? Mother may I?!? Every person who visits Tuk Tuk falls in love and becomes a regular. For my partner and our infant, we make it in at least once a week because it just feels like it’s a part of our home. Recommendations: I love the seasonal changes and guest chefs because I’ve come to trust the balance and execution Sam and her team bring with everything they make and serve. But for folks looking for the next best snack since popped corn, you gotta try the lentil fritters. Feeling a little bougie? The mushroom toast feels like the fanciest catered appetizer, but you know - and actual serving size instead of one stupid cracker. My partner and I debate our favorite sandwich. He’s a fan of the duke and the Webster - both with Sam’s famous fried chicken - truly drool worthy. I’m a sucker for the meatball sandwich which uses her meatball curry seasoning and comes with the BEST sautéed spinach on top. Oh and don’t skip out on the sambol. These delightful “condiments” or “toppings” are the thread that brings all of these flavors together. Never had Sri Lankan flavors? Worried about spice level? Fear not just talk to your server. Sam’s food is all about tastes that are accommodating to everyone. There’s no heat rating to worry about, just a lot of really good, balanced flavors to take you on a magical journey. And this foodie is just dying for summer to return when Sam breaks out her famous tomato pie …

Tuk-Tuk is one of our absolute favorite spots in Lexington, and we have never had something there that wasn't incredibly delicious and bursting with flavor and goodness. Sam Fore is a gem of a human being, as is her husband Chris, and the entire staff gives impeccable service. The atmosphere is fun, warm, and engaging, which is why we have been keeping Tuk-Tuk in our regular rotation ever since we discovered it. Word of mouth has been keeping them quite booked and busy lately, so get your reservations early and ENJOY!
