Hands down the absolute best (by far) Thai food we've ever had. All four dishes of our order tasted like heaven. We can't even choose our favorite. This place is a gem! The presentation was 10/10. Staff were super friendly and attentive and ensured we had a great time and never had to raise a hand for anything. We 1000% recommend Up Thai restaurant!

A hidden gem of a restaurant, truly. The food, gorgeous ambience, and service exceeded my expectations. My friend and I were amazed at how quickly they served us our drinks and food. I also loved how clean and cozy it appeared. The cocktails are 10/10! I will definitely be a returning customer. Keep up the excellent work guys!

The staff was so sweet and actually replaced a whole dish because one of our friends wasn't a fan. We tried the pad see ew and several other dishes, and every single one was delish. Make sure to catch their lunch special, it is a fantastic deal! Between the beautiful, relaxing atmosphere and the wonderful team, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience at Up Thai! The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Our server was incredibly helpful and made great recommendations throughout the meal. We especially loved the Crispy Spring Rolls, Thai Iced Coffee, Basil Fried Rice, Kee Mao, Khao Soi, Salad Rolls, and Mango Mousse Cake. The Mango Avocado Salad and Curry Puff were decent but didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food and outstanding hospitality. Looking forward to coming back!

BEST THAI FOOD IVE HAD IN NYC PERIOD. Claypot rice was my fav, so flavorful with generous portions of meats. Pad see ew was also amazing, super bouncy noodles. The pork chop rice was so unique, with steamed purple sticky rice and an addicting sauce. Soft shell pomelo salad, tom yum, green curry was great as well! Finished off perfectly with a generous portion of mango sticky rice. Ugh so so goooooodddddd.
