Thai Me Up

What is not to like? Cute restaurant. When it's full it's a little loud in there. Anyway, we went here before an event at Stockton Arena. The server was so accommodating and helpful to get us out on time. We were able to pick a few popular items. It definitely left us wanting to try more. Everything we had was delicious. Angel Wings, Fried Pork Belly, Papaya Salad, Sausage all yummy. I didn't get a pic of a couple of our dishes. I've since dined there during the lunch and got to try the Panang Curry with Beef and the Pad Thai. Again everything was delicious. This is definitely a favorite spot on the Miracle Mile.

Thai Me Up has a really nice and modern interior. It is spacious and has a nice layout for dinner dates or eating out with friends. One thing is, this may just be my own preference, but I wish the restaurant wasn't so dark during the day time. The servers are also friendly and welcoming. I feel like they have a lot of potential, but since I've eaten here a few times before writing this review, I have noticed a few issues. I think firstly, the service has always been slow every time I go there. The servers take a while to check your order, bring you water, and just things like that. I also have noticed there is always a long wait for food. Even If it's empty it still takes 15-20 minutes for food to come out and when it's crowded I have waited up to 40 minutes for food to come out. When it comes to the food I always enjoy how it tastes. The pad thai and pad see ew are very flavorful and tasty. The proportion sizes for both are decent. I think other menu items are proportionately small for the prices. But overall, I think if they just worked more on their service, it could easily be a 4-star restaurant for me! I really think it is a trendy place with good food!

Phang was so helpful and so kind! Thanks for asking about our dance competition event as well when I asked for permission to post our flier! Incredible customer service and the food tasted great. Thank you!!

Came at the perfect time for drinks sat at the bar right away and ordered a lemon drop and the Red light district. Again as always the mango sticky rice was my go to! Came for a night cap of drinks and dessert for date night with the hubby! The setting in the bar was very dim and dark and romantic! The bartender gentleman was super nice!

Loved the stir fry bamboo shoots with tofu and steamed tilapia. The rice though is kinda hard.

WHY WE WENT HERE:- lunch meet-up with a friend prior to going to a Yelp Elite event in the areaTHE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE):- located in a plaza off Pacific Ave and Tuxedo Ct- parking is located on the street as well as a narrow shared parking lot adjacent to the restaurant- a red awning provides shade for the enclosed outdoor dining/seating available (which we saw patrons with dogs dine at)THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE):- modern luxurious; artwork, murals, textured decor, plants, accent wallsTHE MENU:- tapas- salads- chef's selection- noodles- things with rice- soups- noodle soups- sides- desserts- beveragesWHAT WE ORDERED:- Tom Yum Glaze Wings- Pad Woonsen with Chicken- Palo- Thom Saap with ChickenTHE TASTE:- Tom Yum Glaze Wings - very tasty! if you like tamarind (sour) you'll like this- Pad Woonsen with Chicken - like the Thai version of Filipino pancit except some of the ingredients were more reminiscent of Vietnamese egg rolls (i.e. wood ear mushroom); tasty- Palo - Thai version of Lu Rou Ran (Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Bowl) or Thit Kho (Vietnamese Braised Pork with Eggs); sweet and heavy, but comforting- Thom Saap with Chicken - light and sour, very comforting; if you like tamarind you'll like thisCUSTOMER SERVICE:- greeted and seated right away- attentive but not overbearing- quick service

When I am craving some spicy drunken noods and a drink, Thai Me Up can help the craving! Everything we ordered hit the "spice" level. The papaya does not look spicy and comes on a small authentic Laotian platter but it was plenty to feed 4 adults. Drunken noodles had just enough spice and flavor, Padthai was my husbands favorite. We also ordered the fried chicken, fried pork belly and Laos sausages to go with sticky rice. Always order more than one serving of sticky rice, your tummy will thank you. It is a bit dim in some areas of the restaurant, there is a cute little backdrop for a quick social media selfie!

We had traveled to Stockton to see the Central cranes and on our way home we stopped here for dinner.You walk into a bright open dining area, and you're immediately greeted by the motto in Neon above the couch, suitable for a photograph on Instagram. The restaurant was nearly full Saturday at about 7 PM, but there were still a couple tables open and are server seated us where we wanted.The menu is fairly extensive and interesting along with a nice cocktail menu that I would recommend over the wine list.we started with vegetarian spring rolls. These came out in a little french fry basket with some dipping sauce. There were five spring rolls which we were able to divide between the two of us. These were piping hot and tasty.My "rye not" was brought at the same time. It is their take on an Old-Fashioned cocktail. A nice balance of ingredients and enough alcohol to get a little buzz going, but not keep you from ordering another :-)For our supper my wife had the Tom Kha soup and I had the red curry with duck which is listed as a chef's special. She felt her soup was good, but perhaps under salted. my red curry was also good but the duck was a little dry. The portions are a decent size for either ordering several and sharing or getting one thing and eating it all yourself.Service on the whole is pretty good. The woman who took our order was friendly and attentive without hovering. The fellow who brought our food was perhaps a little indifferent. My one complaint is that the chef's special was brought out without the bowl having been napped. There had been an obvious spill, the evidence of which was left on the side of the bowl. Presentation is part of the reason for going out rather than staying home with the TV. I should add that we were very pleased or I was at least that they do have the "four condiments" that are Thai restaurant back in Santa Clara has also. if you like chili heat, then you must try the sliced Thai chilies in fish sauce on your food. Sure makes your head sweat.Oh, by the way, there is parking in the back and on the street

Thai Me Up has excellent food! Ive only been here twice, but both visits were great. I am no expert on Thai cuisine, but I know delicious when I taste it, LOL. The restaurant was clean and the staff were nice on each visit. Thai Me Up is an easy recommendation. Give them a try!

Usually really enjoy the food here, but today the service was poor. After arriving in the 20 minutes I was told that my order would be ready, I waited another 30 minutes being told the food was still being prepared to then only discover it had been sitting on the counter the whole time getting cold with the wrong tag on it. When I asked what could be done about my $70+ order, sorry we can give you another Thai Iced Tea. No offer to remake the food or provide a discount. I won't be back and hope other customers enjoy better service in the future and a manager who knows how to treat a repeat customer.
