Small shop that (according to my friend:) was a food truck! Came in at 8:15pm and food came out in 5 minutes! My friend and I were both impressed. A+ for the people who work here. The guy at the front was so nice and gave me his recommendation: crispy garlic chicken. And it was good! Be warned it has a very strong fish sauce smell- but soooo good. The atmosphere is very much like a teriyaki shop Dining area closes at 8:45pm! read more

Not sure what happened, but the quality has gone down significantly. Started coming here about 2 years ago and was my go-to Thai place, especially for their Crispy Garlic Chicken. Today we ordered the Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, and Crispy Garlic Chicken. The chicken was delicious, but it seemed like whomever was cooking didn't know how to use the wok? There was no wok flavor, and they assumed we didn't want peanuts, bean sprouts, or lime. Lacking in lots of flavor in the Pad Kee Mao as well as-- no wok flavor, not a lot of the oyster sauce flavor. What happened!! read more

Thai-U-Up - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

Rude staff. Good grief. Never again. There are other Thai places where the staff is polite.

Love Thai food? Skip this place. This food here isn't worth the money. Satay chicken overcooked and waaay too salty. The peanut sauce was horrible this time. Noodles and chicken is not Phad Tai. Not even when it's orange. Thom Ka Gai is white, creamy and coconut. Not the color of Thom Yum. This is thin and isn't what you expect. Disappointing to say the least. Huge difference from our first try, so this is our last try. Quality control goes a long way. read more

Worst Thai restaurant in Burien. I ordered Coconut shrimp and chicken Pud Thai. And 1 Iced coffee. I placed the order inside their restaurant thru their computer. The kid who brought the pud thai said they were out of shrimp. No silverware was brought over. I had to ask for it. The $2.50 i paid for white rice was never delivered. I asked for it and when it came it looked like it was scraped off the floor. Photo included. It's only my opinion, but like I said, worst Thai restaurant in Burien. Borderline gross. read more

Thai-U-Up - Crispy Garlic Chicken so good and the stawberry milk is so goooddd 10/10 - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

Food was great. Service was a little lacking. Plus you order off a tablet and it was a little confusing.

The Thai milk tea was very good and the volcano chicken was tasty, but the texture was a bit inconsistent.

service was impressively quick and the pad see ew was definitely made fresh and soft - i had the tofu and maybe that's what made it have a little less flavor than i would want so i would recommend getting it spicy for a larger flavor palette read more

Thai-U-Up - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

Tom yom is so bad. The soup is too salty and the beef is too tough. It's too expensive at $20.

The Tom Yum was very flavorful, but some of the chicken was dried up, and the cook who prepared it came right into the kitchen to the back where you can see, took off his jacket and went straight to the kitchen, put on gloves and began preparing orders. The gloves do no good if you don't wash your hands first! The establishment is rated "Okay" by the Kc Health Dept., the 2nd lowest rating before it could be closed down! Yet it is very popular and a very busy place, orders being phoned in & picked up like crazy! The majority orders are phoned in & picked up, so those customers don't see the behaviors. The order-taker-cashier-server kept touching her nose & hair and she was sneezing & nervous. I politely requested she wash her hands, which she did. I paid an extra $2.50 because my food did not come with the rice. I purchased to go. When I got home, the rice was cumpy and scorched, apparently coming from the bottom of the rice cooker, and mixed with dried out portions of rice. I've had better from there before! I spent more than $35 for my food altogether. Images are after servings were taken from the containers. read more

Reliably good, reasonably priced take out Thai cuisine in a very nondescript location in Burien - blink and you might drive by it. While they do have a few tables for those who want to dine in after ordering at the counter, the ambience is not the greatest - stick to take out. And if your tab is $25 or more, they have been known to offer complementary pot stickers or spring rolls. read more

Always good food !! Hot and fresh !! I love how online you can select 0 star for hotness for the kids ..

inconsistent fast casual counter thai spot next to 7-11. sometimes it was delicious, sometimes it was gross, all times it's not very friendly and welcoming but all times it's fast. conclusion: there's better options. side note: why my mango sticky rice always have odd color hue of random colors ? read more

This was my first time trying Thai-U-Up and we ordered through Door Dash for delivery. We ordered the Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew. From my first visual impressions upon receiving and opening the containers, the food looked good, but the containers made it seem like there wasn't that much food. Of course after actually indulging the food, I found out it was plenty and quite filling. We ended up having to save some to eat later because we would have probably had a food coma after eating it all. My only complaint is the food tasted a bit sweeter than what I am normally use to tasting when comparing it to other Thai restaurants. read more

Thai-U-Up - ows two containers of food on a table - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

Great little take out thai place. I've been eating their food for years - they used to be a food truck in SLU and now have this brick and mortar location on 1st next to the 7/11. I usually enjoy the pad thai or garlic chicken, both are very good. read more

I ordered 6 dishes (only 4 shown in photo) for my friend's baby shower. I worked with Ao who's the owner. She was great to work with! The food arrived hot and nicely plated. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous! They delivered it to my friend's home which was also in Burien and because of the close proximity, they waived the delivery fee. On top of that, Ao sent a complimentary large tray of fried rice. So kind!! Every dish we ordered was so flavorful, nicely spiced and the meats were so tender! I highly recommend Thai-U-Up!!! Absolutely delicious Thai food and Ao and her team are just the nicest people to work with. We hope to visit their restaurant someday soon. read more

Restaurant was visibly dirty and dusty. I ordered the crispy garlic chicken. It tasked and smelled like shrimp and was overall the world Thai food I have had in Seattle. Do Not Recommend! read more

Good hole-in-the-wall restaurant, next to 7-11. Got order to go. Luckily, because the staff's kids were running around the place, changing the Tv, and playing on their phone. The food was good. Pad Ki Mao hit the spot. The Spicy Garlic Chicken was just ok. I ordered 4 out of 5, for heat. The heat barely registered. I'll try 6 next time. I'm not sure if it'll be first my list for Thai, even though it's very close. read more

Small restaurant. Wished I rated the food for taste and quality! I'm giving two stars because the employee while working was just eating and walking from the front to the back holding food with bare hands. Not sure if this was customers food or outside food. After seeing this. I could've finish my meal and decided to walk out. I just felt sick to my stomach. Wished they took food safety and personal hygiene a little more seriously. Otherwise they probably would've gotten a better rating today. read more

What's my go to Thai place until this week. Something changed I noticed the cook was different. The staff was different. They have a new way to pay and they opened up their dining room, but the food is not as good when I ordered my regular pad Thai chicken for my daughter and TomYum soup for myself they were made in a different way and the soup was pretty much an edible so sour for a soup that is not usually sour. And the person was making the rice and adding final touches to the food, she was also eating something which is pretty unprofessional for a restaurant. I'm looking for somewhere new at the moment. read more

Visiting from out of state (CA) and this is the first place we ate at. They were so friendly and super welcoming from the moment waked in till we left the restaurant. The food came out very fast and bursting with spices. I ordered string bean stir fry with prawns at a level four spicyness. I also ordered a Thai tea. The stir fry was scrumptious however one thing I would recommend is adding a couple more shrimps, it felt Like very little shrimp. I did like how the string green beans were soft and not super hard to the bite like other places I've tried. I love how they have a little chili "tray" with 3 of their chili's. The spiciest one is the pickled green chilis. It's a must try. It's a little hole in the wall with a chill relaxing ambiance, inviting & friendly staff and let's not forget the delicious food. When I return to Seattle I would definitely visit again. read more

Feels like quality went down. Picked up takeout and was pretty let down. Ordered spicy basil chicken, pad thai, and tom yum soup. We received a free order of spring rolls (these are the deep fried ones) because we spent over 25, the best thing I ate was the free spring rolls. The chicken tasted like shrimp paste, the pad thai was dry and didn't have much of a taste, the soup- partner said it wasn't good. Everything was edible and service is nice but their fried chicken was one of the best things I had years ago, the dish that turned me in to a fan. read more

I just ate at Thai U Up in Burien, Washington and it was amazing. The chef made me a delicious Thai omelet that was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned over a bed of rice. I have had many of their dishes in the past and the food is totally amazing. The staff is also outstanding from the owner to the chef. Five stars and definitely world class. read more

Damn this food is so good. I love the panang or red curry. 2 stars is sufficient as 3 will burn your mouth. Easy place to eat in or take out. These guys are pros and the food is plentiful and so very good! Best Thai in Burien by a long shot read more

Thai-U-Up - Panang curry with white rice ! Yum - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

do not recommend their panang curry with chicken. They use pieces of rotisserie chicken as their chicken base (legs, thighs breast). I've always had panang curry with thinly sliced breast. This definitely changed the taste of the curry meal. Not worth it. I gave it a 3 becuase the Panang sauce its self was decent. read more

Wanting to try out other Thai food places. Especially with the curries. I wasn't even surprised at all. Tasted the yellow curry, "oh it's sweet, maybe rice will help" but unfortunately it didn't at all. Added lots of fish sauce, still too sweet. It was too sweet for me that I wasn't able to finish it. Along with the Thai iced tea. I let some of the ice to dilute it. My instinct thought was: Curry is sweet, so the Thai tea is sweet too. Which I was right! It was also too sweet. Didn't even finish the drink as well. It's the same with other Thai restaurants that I've been too. Always so sweet... except one. That is actually balanced out. read more

Today (05/24) they are at the Westlake Park in downtown Seattle. Service. Friendly. Their window is high up so it was hard to hear some of the things that were asked but they were nice. Ambiance. It's outside. Thankfully the location has tables and tents so there were plenty of places to eat and enjoy your food. I took mine home Food. I ordered the Chicken Pad See Ew and Thai Ice Tea. Both were good. Wish the Pad See Ew was spicy. Nothing exciting but not bad. read more

I heard great stuff about this food truck and decided to give it try for lunch. I ordered my lunch online and was expected to be ready by the time I got there, but when I arrived, they were just setting up and wouldn't be open for another 15 minutes. That was kind of disappointing since my order was supposed to be ready by the time I arrived. Once they opened, they tried to quickly get the orders out I had the a feeling that the food wouldn't be as good because they would be rushing. I got the volcano chicken which comes with rice, lettuce fried chicken in a chilly sweet and sour sauce. I replaced the rice with more salad but regreted it later because the sauce was very strong and needed the rice to balance it out. The chicken was not crispy and there was no spice whatsoever. The portion was decent size though. Overall, maybe I came on a bad day, but it was not what I expect at all read more

Yikes.... I don't have much good to say about this place. We ordered pad thai with tofu, pad see ew with tofu, garlic chicken level 5 spicy, and a thai iced tea. Pad thai with tofu: wouldn't know what to say about it as we got pad thai with CHICKEN instead. It was just okay. Pad see ew with tofu: pretty meh. Too much garlic and soy sauce taste. Also, please lay off the peanuts. It was swarming with peanuts. Garlic chicken level 5 spicy: more like, level NOT SPICY AT ALL. This tasted SWEET. A huge disappointment for hot sauce fanatics. HOT CHEETOS ARE SPICIER THAN LEVEL 5 SPICY FOOD HERE. Thai iced tea: wouldn't know because the food bummed me out so much, I didn't end up drinking the tea. Didn't have high expectations after the catastrophe that was the food. Wouldn't recommend this place and won't be going back ever. They didn't give us chopsticks with our order either. Are we supposed to eat with our hands? Yikes. read more
