We knew the owner from the time they owned 50-50 in Claremont. They are always so nice!! The food matches the service, and we love the easy location of downtown Upland, where parking is easy! We love Thai food and recommend this place. read more

We recently tried this Thai spot and had a mixed--but overall positive--experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which definitely set a great tone from the start. There was about a 40-minute wait for the food, so be prepared if you're coming during a busy time. Once it arrived, the pad see ew was a bit on the bland side at first, but adding some chili powder really brought it to life and made a big difference. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pork ribs--they were super tender and practically fell off the bone. The sauce they came with was absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. Overall, great service and some standout dishes--just a little patience (and maybe some extra seasoning) goes a long way here read more

while exploring downtown Upland last week I came across Patra Dining. Joyce I think was her name had such a warm and welcoming persona I had to order something even though I was not too hungry. First off the interior vibes in here are extraordinary. I have been to many Thai restaurants including in Thailand and never saw one as cool and modern as this place. Loved the stone walls and decor. This is a perfect date night spot. The menu has the traditional dishes you would expect but there are plenty of foodie options and fusion dishes as well. I ordered an appetizer, some pillowy potato type pockets. I would compare them to indian samosas but better. Soft and doughy stuffed with potatoes and thai spices. the sauces are all original recipes and oh so delicious. I look forward to exploring the menu. I can tell this will be my fav Thai spot from now on. Amazing vibes, owner is so friendly and the food is outstanding. read more

This is one of my favorite Asian places. Their fish soup is great. We also ordered wings and tom yum soup. Order some Thai tea; it's refreshing and delicious. read more

Stopped in because of the high reviews....the restaurant was pretty nice for a Thai fusion place with a modern decor and a patio dining area. Service was friendly and efficient. We ordered the Pad Kee Mow with chicken and the Mandalay Curry with Chicken (Yellow curry elsewhere). Additionally, their "iced teas" are of a decent assortment - I had the butterfly pea tea which is not a common find. the Pad Kee mow was good with a light amount of spiciness (very light). The Mandalay curry though was a little more on the watery side... the odd thing about this "fusion" place is that you don't get your usual choice of meats for you dishes-all they have is chicken, tofu or shrimp- maybe cause healthiness? read more

I'm very much liking Patra's approach to their inspired cuisine. They're not afraid to experiment with new dishes and everything we've tried has merit. Best, tho, is the great personal service. Nice, too, is the ample parking nearby. Casual ambiance with a bit of upscale class. read more

My Friends and I dined at Patra Dining in Downtown Upland last night. If you are in the mood for Thai Food, give them a try. We started off with chicken pot stickers. They were tasty on their own but the sauce that was included made them just right. I savored every bite. For my main course, I had Pad Prik Sod. It's not on the menu but I happened to mention to Joyce, the owner, that I had tried the dish at another restaurant and liked it. She told me that they could do that for me. Okay, let's do that! It's a beef dish that's cooked with onions and jalapenos. Joyce suggested adding broccoli and carrots so that's what we went with. It was a good combination. Very flavorful. I had white rice on the side. Other dishes ordered included Braised Short Ribs, Pineapple Fried Rice, Thai Barbecue Ribs, Joyce's Salmon (not pictured), and some sort of a yellow curry dish that wasn't on the menu (also, not pictured). I tasted the Braised Short Ribs. The piece of beef that I had, tasted kind of like my mom's beef stew (a good thing). I also tasted the curry dish too. I'm not a huge fan of curry but that wasn't bad actually. I heard that the Thai Barbecue Ribs and Joyce's Salmon were very good too. So, once again, if you are in the mood for Thai Food, I highly recommend Patra Dining in Downtown Upland. Joyce and Steven are both incredibly hospitable, the food is delicious, the ambiance is cozy, and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Not bad, the wife liked the curry, the ribs were really delicious definitely that was a 5. My noodles were good just not as good as the place I go usually in Eastville. Service was excellent and I believe chief or owner came to check on us and she was really nice. This place was closer to 3.5-3,8 stars. read more

Okay...wow! This place is incredible! I saw them moving into this space and I was so anxious to see what it was going to be! It's really incredible Thai food!!!! My daughter and I came here for dinner tonight. When we arrived, we were the only ones in the dining room. Joyce, the owner, greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. Once we were seated, she gave us menus and ice water. Not sure my daughter has ever had Thai food before, so she wasn't sure what to get. I couldn't decide between the mandalay curry or the massaman curry. Joyce recommended the mandalay curry, so I got that with chicken and my daughter got that with shrimp. Each entree comes with the choice of white or brown rice. My daughter was speechless! She absolutely loved her meal and honestly, this was probably one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. Everything was so fresh and flavorful--cooked to perfection--and the portion sizes are decent so she and I both have leftovers. The place started to pick up a bit while we were there. I highly recommend checking this place out! We will definitely be back! Thank you, Patra! read more

When I saw Joyce opened a new spot in upland, I was thrilled. It popped on my radar as newly opened Asian fusion. So I immediately went for dinner. Hopefully I get to be the ninth review . I really like the menu design. Unlike traditional Asian restaurants, this has a fine dining elegance to it. Ordered Ming's chicken wings. It was highly rated on Yelp so I have to check it out. The wings are extremely well marinated. Reminded me of the authentic Thai street food I had years ago in Thailand. It is indeed on the sweeter side for my taste but I have a very sensitive sweet palette. It's very tender. Crunchiness 4/5 Taste 4.2/5 Satiation factor 5/5 I know the fried rice is going to be fantastic so I decided to try something new. Decided to go with the pad see ew. The beef in the dish is very tender however a little bit on the saltier side. The steam veggies are extremely tender which means the chef really spent the time on the dish. Taste 4.5/5 Texture 4/5 The service is just immaculate. Joyce even brought me some fresh wet towels when I am devouring the wings. Big parking lot in the back. Will come back for the scallops pasta that Joyce recommended. They even made the pasta in house. read more

Heard about this place from local community pages on FB. Had only ordered delivery one time from her now closed location in Claremont, but knew we liked the wings. Didn't know it was a cloth napkin type place when we walked in with our almost 3 year old, straight from the park (oops) but we were greeted with a smile and told to sit at one of the only empty tables. Ordered quickly. They brought our sons water in a to-go cup, as they don't have a kids menu. The wings came out first. Four whole wings, my son ate 1 entire one. They were amazing... the sauce was absolutely delicious! Next was a very large shareable portion of fried rice with shrimp. My son devoured probably a third of the plate!!! It came w plenty of shrimp which was nice, as most places only serve a few. The only thing we wished it had was a serving spoon. And lastly was the Thai chicken, served with a decent portion of brown rice (wish we had a choice, not fans of brown rice), small portion of veggies and a FULL (neck etc included) half chicken, which my kid ate the entire drumstick! Lol Loved that the food wasn't all served at once. That may be just because of what we ordered but either way, it was super appreciated. We had to time to eat and enjoy each plate while it was still hot without things getting cold. Also, really appreciated the music. Great jazz playing, not too loud. The owner, Joyce, came out and spoke with us (actually my son) for a solid few minutes.... Absolutely the sweetest woman. So happy. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows with her food! Well that and the hug she gave me as we left! Will we return? ABSOLUTELY! We all loved everything so much! read more

We moved to Upland a year and a half ago and we have been trying places in our city we went to this restaurant.

Service was great. Very nice people. It's nice to go to a restaurant where they appreciate you beer was great price. I will be going back many times. read more

Lets start with the ambiance, it was a nice breezy summer night so we decided to sit out on their patio; it almost felt as if we were on vacation somewhere else. The inside is also pretty and clean. Niw the food was amazing, the panang curry was so flavorful, and the curry sauce nice and creamy. Pineapple rice was also very good as well as the pot stuckers. The servers were so friendly and we even received a free pot stickets appetizer card for our next visit. We will definitely be back for more. read more

This is a small corner restaurant. Probably a handful of tables. It was very simple but cute at the same time. I really appreciate that they had several fans running throughout. As you probably already know, it was super hot that day, but it felt pleasant inside it wasn't overbearing. The service was amazing. Checked on us multiple times they are very kind and attentive. The food came out quickly. The food was good except for the drunken noodles, they didn't taste the same as other places. It was missing the basil. It was missing the tomato and just a little bit more flavor. It was a little bland for me. Other than that, I had a good experience. I would come back if I'm in the area and craving Thai. read more

Patra Dining in downtown Upland is outstanding! We had the Panang Shrimp and Scallops made with red curry, coconut milk, bell peppers, peas, and Thai basil.

I highly recommend this restaurant. They also have a wonderful lunch menu! O's ice cream shoppe is next door so we got a scoop to take home. read more

A cute, smaller sized restaurant in downtown Upland. The space is used the best that it can be for the small size that it is. There is a neat "smoking" wall section. The food was delicious!

Everything about this place makes it better than any other Thai restaurant in the area. YES, better than Sanamluang in Claremont. YES, better than Lucky Elephant in Ontario. It looks like an upscale restaurant when you first walk in. The music is like you're in a fancy steak house, but thservice here IS upscale and their food is right up there. Generally all Thai food tastes the same to me, but theirs was flavorful and served hot. Awesome place. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. read more

We went on a Sunday evening recently for dinner. The atmosphere is nice, with exposed brick walls and interesting art. We were greeted immediately and the waitstaff were very friendly, but it was incredibly slow despite the restaurant being not even half full. We waited about 30 minutes for appetizers alone, and then main dishes for our party came out slowly one by one, with the last one arriving 15 minutes after everyone else's was on the table. The food itself was inconsistent. Appetizers: the veggies puffs were delicious; the peanut sauce with the chicken satay was bland and one piece of chicken didn't seem fully cooked. Main dishes: the fried rice looked like it would be great, loaded with veggies and egg, but it was extremely bland and disappointing; pad see ew was good; and green curry was very tasty but much spicier than requested. We brought home leftovers and ended up throwing them out because no one was enthusiastic about eating more of this food. There are so many other Thai restaurants around the area, I can't say I'd never try this place again but I won't make it a priority to go back. read more

The service here is great with the owner personally greeting the guest and seeing to all their needs, but the food was not up to the same standard, unfortunately. All of the homemade sauces on the food were amazing, but everything we ordered was overcooked. I ordered the pad Thai noodles and they arrived so mushy it was inedible, the spring rolls were too hard to eat, the wings were so tough there was almost no meat left to eat off of them, and the ribs were the same. I really wanted to love this restaurant because I love Thai food and I had read good reviews about this place and the chef/owner. read more

Love this place! Food is always crazy delicious and the service is fabulous. A true hidden gem.

I just happened to be walking in downtown upland during the lemon festival and realized they opened a new Thai restaurant. The mandalay curry with white rice was phenomenal to say the least. I will definitely be back for this dish. The service was everything you ask for when it comes to dining. Many thanks to my server Gift.(great name) She was amazing. Thank you Patra dining...and thank you Gift. read more

Excellent all around. We had the Chicken Satay, Pad See Ew, Mandalay Curry and Thai Iced Tea. All were delicious and very fresh. The satay was accompanied by a home made peanut sauce that had fresh roasted peanuts. The curry was tasty and generously served and the service was friendly and fast. This is a very new restaurant and much appreciated in this area, the restaurant is casual but also good for a casual date or family dinner. We'll definitely be returning for their lunch specials and more dinners read more

The restaurant was very clean and had great ambiance. The waitress and owner were soo friendly and attentive ! We ordered the vegetable fried rice, chicken pad see eww noodles, and the chicken green curry. Everything tasted fresh and not greasy or heavy at all. My favorite was the curry !

Such a nice dining experience for my brother and I today. Chicken Pot Stickers, Shrimp Fried Rice, Pad Thai with Pork, and Cashew Chicken (not pictured). We both enjoyed our own side salads with ginger, soy vinaigrette dressing (Joyce's own recipe. YUM!). Everything was excellent! This was only my second time ever going to a Thai restaurant. Our waitress, Nona, provided excellent service. We look forward to going back soon. Joyce Patra, the owner (pictured with us), took time to speak with us and told us a bit about her history. This restaurant has only been open for three months. She had a different restaurant in Claremont for ten years that she sold before opening up Patra Fine Dining. Plus, she previously had another restaurant in La Verne in the Vons shopping center on Foothill Blvd/White Ave. Patra Fine Dining 160 E.

Had a training in dtwn Upland. Most of my colleagues opted for the usual sandwich. I headed over to Patra for what proved to be a very good food experience: clean place, French bistro kind of music, sporty elegant waitresses (might have been the Owner). I ordered the green curry but on the menu they only had it with tofu, chicken and shrimp. I asked for salmon and they adapted quickly. Brown rice and jasmine tea which both came steaming. The curry was so right and the salmon done at just the right temperature. If you know what I mean, it's so easy to dry out a salmon.... My money is my voice so my Amex will see more of this place... read more

If you're looking for amazing Thai food made with love, look no further! This cozy little restaurant is an absolute gem. The owner is the sweetest person you'll ever meet--so warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about her food. We started with the beef puff pastry appetizer, and wow--what a treat! The pastry was perfectly flaky, and the savory, well-seasoned beef inside made for a melt-in-your-mouth bite. Definitely a must-order. For mains, we had the BBQ chicken, which was grilled to perfection--juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. We also tried the shrimp curry which was outstanding. The noodles had the perfect balance of texture and seasoning, while the curry was rich, fragrant, and packed with deep, comforting flavors. To finish, we had the banana dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. Warm, caramelized, and just the right amount of indulgent. Beyond the fantastic food, the hospitality here is what truly makes this place special. You can tell the owner puts her heart into everything, and it shows. I can't wait to come back and try more! 5/5--highly recommend! read more
