Jacqueline ChanFebruary 18, 2019Excellent express lunch sets. Green curry is more spicy than green curries from other restaurants
Kate FurmanMarch 12, 2017Lunch special is fantastic here. Depending on your protein, a soup/salad, small app and entree is around $10-$15 bucks.
Ania BańczykMay 2, 2015The food was really delicious. Probably the best pad thai I've ever eaten. Try the "first kiss" cocktail :)
Benjamin GrønvoldAugust 1, 2016This place is amazing. You can't go wrong with any of their cocktails although the mojito is the best
Claudia FilthMay 4, 2019Incredible. Their lunch special is amazing. As is the setting. Massaman Curry is to die for.
Paull YoungMay 26, 2014Authentic thai - rare to find in NYC. Get the thai crepe dumplings & gai yang. Wash it down with an iced tea.
Edward FabilaJanuary 8, 2018We travel from the East Village to eat at UP Thai. Trust me, it's that delicious!
Been here many times. Love the food and atmosphere. Very cozy, trendy and great for dates.
Rock RainesJune 2, 2019Some of the best thai in nyc do always busy. Hopefully opening of sala thai on west side alleviates waste
Kelly EmersonJune 15, 2017Great atmosphere, great service, exceptional food! Delicious fresh modern Thai! Highly recommend.
- Kathryn DApril 22, 2016Sangria is delicious. Great vegetarian options, especially the Massaman curry with tofu.
- Taylor VAJuly 18, 2015Really enjoyed the clay pot that comes highly recommended. The fried rice dishes were also tasty.
Nitin AlaburMay 4, 2018Great ambience, food and service! Totally lives up to the rating that's on Foursquare.
Roy ChenDecember 12, 2016Solid Thai. Massaman comes with avocado, which is a first for me. Pad Thai Woonsen can be skipped.
Ilias KonstantinidisSeptember 30, 2016Get the Clay Pot! Lemonade Thai Iced Tea was great too and the mango mousse.
Angela KeenanJuly 19, 2015I took the advice on the clay pot, Thai ice tea and crepe dumplings...do the same, you will not be disappointed
Nicole MouradianApril 11, 2016The best of Thai I've ever had! The service was also unbelievably great.
- L. T.February 13, 2015Get the noodle dishes with shrimp! Authentic and tasty. Don't miss out on the lunch special!
D. G.May 29, 2015I had a pad Thai, it was good, had two bottles of warm saki and it was delicious :-)
Seline JungJune 2, 2016Fantastic Thai food with authentic flavors - their $9 lunch special can't be beat!
Yera HaJuly 20, 2015Soup/salad, appetizer and entree for $9 at lunch-- can't beat that! Try the Pad Thai extra spicy.
Jonathan L.December 5, 2015Clay pot with house chili on top is like crack. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Charlotte ChanJanuary 11, 2017The food was tasty but didn't seem natural. Had the mango avocado salad and basil fried rice. The salad dressing was too salty and the fried rice felt heavy. Just doesn't feel good after eating it.
Brett FrommeOctober 31, 2015Very trendy spot right now (10/30/15). The Pad Thai was good but the Seafood Bouillabaisse was mediocre. Much better spots for Thai food and with no waiting lines.
