Tuk Tuk Boom to build new restaurant in Madison

A popular Jackson-based fast-casual Thai food and sushi restaurant is bringing a second location to Madison at the end of the year.

Will Puckett, the owner of Tuk Tuk Boom, said they hope to start construction on their 2,800-square-foot restaurant space soon.

“Hopefully we will start construction in the next month or so,” Puckett said. “I know they have already started working on the parking lot and some of the site work.”

He said the new location will be on Madison Avenue between Harley Rae’s Boutique and MadIson Market Place.

“We just think Madison has a lot of opportunities,” Puckett said. “It's a growing part of the metro Jackson area and we think it is a good fit for where we are.”

Puckett opened Tuk Tuk Boom in Highland Village about two and a half years ago. He said they serve fast-casual Thai food and sushi.

He said the Madison location will offer a bar, dining room, and outdoor seating and will have a takeout window.

“We offer fun, friendly, quick service and do a lot of takeout,” Puckett said.
