Was so excited to try this place on a friends recommendation. We got last minute reservations on a…read moreSaturday morning. The restaurant was quite empty. We were one of three couples dining in. It took them some time to get us seated, which wasn't a big deal since there were just two servers and no host per se so we assume they were busy. The good part - Food was a 3.5/5 maybe even a 4 overall. We got seated and got to appetizers - tried the5 soup dumplings, crab and truffle soup, and lychee shrimp. Presentation was good and taste was okay too. For mains we got the lobster udon and salt and pepper tiger prawns, both of which I liked. It was good comfort food for a particularly cold day. The food served was also nice and made sure we were doing okay. Now the bad - there were gnats flying all over which made me wonder how bad the kitchen was. The tables at the end of the room had a lot of junk (cleaning supplies and table cloth bundles) stowed on which made was very unappealing. The worst bit - we had not had the worst time and left a 22% tip. An hour later I received a phone call saying that my card had been declined and asking me for my card details. Thankfully I was able to log into my account and could see the transaction. I then asked them how much the bill amount was and what I had ordered - they told me an order completely different from mine. I'm glad I pushed back coz initially the person who called was pretty aggressive and rude about how my card had been declined and didn't want to wait for me to check my statement either. Having figured out their mistake they then quickly hung up - no apologies or explanation!! All of this left a terrible taste in my mouth. Overall, I don't think I'm going to return. If you go - beware of the gnats and please don't give them your credit card details over the phone without verification!

I requested extra peanuts and they did it! I love the texture of extra crushed peanuts and they did not skimp on it! Great attention! Banana sticky rice - one of my favorite desserts... I always find that lots of places don't give enough coconut cream sauce... and my request for extra coconut cream on the side was also honored. I'm a very happy camper. Good portions and perfect to share but I kept both to myself lol In Conclusion: the service and attention to detail... even for a to-go/delivery order was really awesome. This tells me that a dine in experience will be even better. The quality and taste of the food was also very good. There's so many Thai spots and some can be hit or miss, especially as a first time experience... but 10/10 I would recommend this spot.

My favorites were the crispy rice volcano with spicy tuna and spicy salmon tartar and the upper east side roll. Generous portions and fresh. My least favorites were the salmon tuna rollover roll and the citrus salmon carpaccio, it was a little dry. The chilean sea bass with black bean sauce was good, but I could have had the sauce on the side, it was a bit much. For dessert, the raspberry mousse cake was very tasty. Overall, good spot to check out for reasonable eats.

Really nice environment, lively atmosphere, and decent Thai food…read more I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, which is a classic dish I often use to compare Thai places. While it was pretty good, it was honestly quite average in quality. The ingredients were all standard so not really much to comment on here. $20 for this dish was a fair price. Where Up Thai scores well compared to others is in the nice environment - the decor, such as the nice lighting fixtures, add to a traditional yet trendy kind of vibe. There was a lively atmosphere which was in a way good but the volume level did lead me to have to strain a bit to speak. The service speed is very quick. Not sure if this was on purpose, but it did take them a long time for them to come around to have us pay the bill. Overall, while I wasn't that impressed by the food, the environment was nice so I am still giving Up Thai a solid 4 stars.

I ordered the "Sushi for Two" and the "Sushi Moriwase". The Sushi for Two had 18 pieces, a lot of…read moreit was white fish. The roll was topped with mango and had tuna/salmon inside. The nigiri was standard. The roll was better than expected. It was quite pricey at $72. The Sushi Moriwase was ridiculously pricey at $62. It had 8 "chef's premium pieces" and toro roll. The fish included toro, squid and scallop. So, they definitely had a higher tier of fish. One of the nigiri tasted the same as the "Sushi for Two." I just couldn't justify the price of this one. Especially since Sushi Goal (very close by) has a Sushi omakase premium for $50 (10 pieces with a roll). I don't think I will come back, especially since Sushi Goal Omakase has similar or better fish for less $ and more pieces.
