YUM YUM YUM! I just went to Capitol Hill Block Party and was dying for some food I could walk around and eat without needing to scope out a table. I am also gluten free and pescatarian, so my options felt limited. Thai U Up was exactly what I was looking for! I loved how easy their menu is- it's large font, shows what is gluten free/veg, and has a photo. They were out of most of the apps, but I was still able to get some lovely gluten free pad thai with tofu. It came out hot, satisfying, and the perfect meal! Super easy to carry around since it was in a firm container. The portion size was generous and the staff was so kind. I will be keeping my eye out for this truck at future festivals and events! read more

The food was flavorful and delicious! We got Pad Thai with chicken and fried rice. We also got pot stickers and rice with chicken. All dishes were flavored just right and they tasted good still the next day. A well balanced flavor of sweet and salty and sour all in one place. The crispy chicken was finger sticky good. I could not stop eating and wish we had more! A bit disappointed that the kitchen staff in the Truck were not wearing masks but otherwise the check out guy was. Would still come back. Food was hot and perfect. read more

Great tasting Thai food from a popular food truck with a funny name. I've definitely been roped in and would come again to this food truck during my lunch break. The food truck location changes everyday. I came by as a part of my Eastlake Escapade (see Other section for description of what this is). Food I got the crispy garlic chicken that they are best known for, according to the guy at the window. The chicken was nice and crispy in the outside and very juicy on the inside. There was never a dry bit of meat. The outside glaze is sweet, and not excessively fishy since they use a shrimp paste house sauce. It's over a thin bed of lettuce but it's nowhere close to being like a side of salad. Best eat the food while it's still hot! Atmosphere Food truck so you eat wherever you want. The parking lot at 1201 Eastlake Ave is very safe and there is plenty of room to quickly pull in and order food. Pricing Prices for the portion were decent given the increase in cost of food, gas, and inflatio. The value for food is good. There's a $0.50 charge for ALL card purchases. Service  Excellent service. The man helping me at the window was very nice. I got there when there was no line and had my food within 3 minutes. Other Trucks are tucked away at the back of the parking lot so make sure to look for it!! My Eastlake Escapade refers to my food adventures that I go on during my lunch break since I work in the area. One of the common spots I go to is the Adaptive & Bloodworks parking lot at 1551 Eastlake OR 1201 Eastlake parking lot where they host a daily rotating food truck. read more

I ordered panang curry. This was the worst quality thai food I have ever eaten. The curry was sweet. The meat was not fresh. It came in a tiny container, half the size you would get in a restaurant, for $15. I'm glad it wasn't a bigger portion because I wouldn't have wanted to eat it. read more

I like their pad thai. (The only other pad thai places I like in seattle are bai tong and bangrak market and this place is almost as good.) I had it for a few times now and it is tasty and the portion is generous. Sorry, I didn't get to take photos as I started eating as soon as I got the food. read more

Ordered from here many times, usually they are on point. My Uber order today unfortunately was not good. I ordered Panang Curry as we always do, and garlic chicken. Both meals were cut in half in size, and not closed properly. Tried to call to have them fix it, just goes to an answering machine. It's really hard trying to support local businesses during this time, when the quality is slipping. If there was a change to the menus, it should reflect that on Uber eats. Not happy with this order. read more

Thai U Up - Today's order vs usual order ... both containers came from The sane restaurant. - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fantastic! I am from Atlanta and try to find this food truck when ever I travel to Seattle.

This restaurant was so nice hey even helped me get an Uber driver for my order. I was staying in from out of town without a ride and they made sure I could eat my meal! above and beyond. read more

Garlic chicken was so gooooooood. Two stars brought the heat. My mouth was numb a few bites in. Even with delivery it was still pretty bomb dot com. The chicken was a little dry but the parts with more sauce were really good and flavorful. I appreciated that they cut vents in the box to prevent the chicken from going soft since it's deep friend and all. All in all, I'm super happy with the chicken and it was exactly what I had wanted. I wouldn't say it's as good as Buddha Ruska but I've never gotten their chicken delivered...so maybe if I had stopped by the food truck and scarfed it down there, I'd be singing a different tune. Girlfriend got the tofu phad tai and seemed to enjoy it. I can't say much since I opted to eat more of mine than try hers. read more

Amazing food, portions, and prices. I usually get the pad thai and pineapple fried rice. There is a serious problem with their ordering process though. If you order through Uber eats, an automated algorithm will tell you after 10 minutes or so that it's ready to pick up. The food truck is not the one who says it's ready. This will cause issues of the 5-10 cars clogging the poor gas station's parking lot because everyone shows up thinking their food is ready and ends up waiting 30 minutes for it to actually be ready. The worst part of that is when the man is staffing the truck. He's quite rude and a terrible communicator. The lady who works there is much friendlier and will at least apologize if there's an issue like that. read more

Just got my order ten min ago two pad Thais and volcanic chicken... what absolute trashhhh. Pad Thai is pure slop no vegetable, or eggs. Ordered 4/5 spice can't taste any heat at all. Also pad Thai came with rice and the hard part of a cabbage??? The volcano chicken is hard and tastes like a day old Panda Express. My three entrees were 70$ and went straight into the trashhhh. This place needs to be shut down, hope they are embarrassed making food like this...... read more

Bland. Not spicy. Why is there rice? I ordered chicken Phad Thai, spicy level 4 out of 5. Waited 15 minutes. Food was hot and well cooked but very bland and not spicy at all. Also, why would they serve sticky rice with a dish that is almost entirely rice noodles? That's not normal and I think they're just filling space in the box. I regret tipping. I was able to eat the food but I won't be ordering there again. read more

I love this truck and always order catering for our big family. I like the chicken wings with the thai chili sauce, the kee mao noodle is always amazing. They also do delivery to our door. Thank you thai-u-up read more

I did not physically go to the food truck, I ordered it off UberEATS. It got delivered to me in 45 min. I will need to seek out this food truck and try their other dishes! I ordered: pineapple panang curry tom kha coconut soup with chicken Both items were delicious. I thought the curry would be coming with rice and it didn't. Since I was at home, I just made some of my own in my rice cooker. Both items spilled in the bag. Both containers were piping hot as well. I guess what I'd suggest for to go soups, would be to put a little piece of cardboard in the bag to steady them and maybe double bag. But this problem could probably have been prevented if the driver had been more careful. Anyways, both the soup and curry were yummy. Lot's of shrimp in the curry as well. Wish it had come with rice. read more

I used to be a bigger fan of this place, but the price has gone up, the quality has gone down, and the portion sizes are so small. Their yellow curry is disappointing, and doesn't taste like any curry I've ever had (and I've had a lot). It's really lemony as opposed to having a rich depth of flavor like normal yellow curry, and it has tomatoes in it, which just doesn't work. The Pad Thai is decent, and the crispy garlic chicken is okay. It used to be a lot better but its clear that quality is no longer their priority. read more

I had a hard time finding the truck. That was fun!!!!! So I go up to it and I ordered the Pad See Iew with chicken. I asked the guy in the truck if they take cards. He said no, only cash. I'm like, you got to be kidding me!! I don't remember reading that online. So I asked him if I could order online on my phone and pick it up. He said yes, I could. And that you can use a card when you order online. After taking the time to drive to White Center and find this place I was not going to leave empty handed. So I order my dish. I ask the guy how long it will take to get it. He says about 5 minutes. Not bad right? He confirmed my order online and I thought I was all set. So I'm standing there waiting. People came after me and ordered. One lady went and got cash at the gas station and ordered. She got her food before me. So I walk up to the guy at the cash register and I say to him, after all these people are getting their food, when will my food be ready? He said soon. I waited almost 22 minutes in the hot heat for a dish that ended up not even being that good. What a let down. All the way from Burien I drove to find them. Found them. Then the food is sub par. Just like the service. This dish I got was not worth the time and trouble and cost it took tonight. I am REALLY disappointing. Hopefully I can find a better Thai place with better food and service. read more

Thai U Up - After the dude took my order he tells me it's cash only. I ordered the Pad See Iew online. Waited forever yuck, never again. - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

You can't go wrong with Thai u up Thai food. Crispy garlic chicken or a beef panang curry.. yum! Really delicious!

Overall a very solid Thai truck and only reason it gets 3* instead of 4* is because it sucks to grab cash to pay for the meal. They only take cash or check and it's a complete pain for the way I pay for all other food and pretty much all else. I usually get the pad prik king guy and it's one of my favorite dishes in west Seattle, the sauce on the hottest they make is still pretty mild and yet it's a tasty treat. If you get the pad Thai as well you can move the rice from the noodles to the pad prik king (because there is no reason for it there) you get after more of the juice. Both are tasty dishes but could be hotter when you ask for their hottest. I like my Thai really spicy and they don't quite make it that hot but overall pretty tasty. read more

I ordered pad Thai with beef($13.45), and fish cakes($7.95) for take out through grubhub with a $3.53 tip and $2.16 in sales tax = $27.09. No big deal. I just got paid and decided to splurge a bit. I got there 5 minutes early and he told me to wait at least 10 minutes. No problem. I get my food 15 minutes later and I am immediately disappointed at the appearance of the portion size. The light weight of the bag was even more telling of how small it was. I open it up and first thing I see is rice. Rice on my rice noodles. Cool. I asked if my order got mixed up because I didn't think pad Thai came with rice and he assured me that's what the order entailed. I asked for a refund after explaining that the portion size was far too small and I didn't want rice on my pad Thai. he refused to give me my money back and I told him he's working cheap business, and his reply was "Yeah well, we're making money!" As if he knew he was ripping people off. Bad business and really poor customer service. Painfully unprofessional and the fish cakes were garbage. 0/5 read more

Thai U Up - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went to SLU night Market and saw there was no line at Thai U Up, should have been an indicator that food would have been sub par. Ordered a chicken pad thai, probably the worst thing I've had at a food truck...no veggies and no eggs, the most plain pad thai. What's worst was that food came out Room temperature. Not sure how this food truck is in business. read more

Warning: do not eat here if you have food allergies or sensitivities. Used to be a frequent customer. The food CAN taste good, but they've messed up quite a few of our orders. We all make mistakes, but when it happens to 1/4 of my orders it just isn't worth calling anymore. Check your work before sending it out. Don't rely on customers to tell you. You guys have something tasty, most of the time, but your laziness in making sure you did the order correct makes the experience lackluster. read more

I often used Thai u up delivery and I thought the food was good but a bud sweet like some family Thai restaurants which is why no review. I usually do great or really bad reviews. Well last night I ordered vegan pad see uwe, vegan fried rice, vegetable delight and it was almost perfect!!! Not too sweet and still tasty. We asked for 2 stars but it was actually 3-3 1/2 but once asked for 3 stars and it was barely 2. I loved the spice but was sharing and a bit too spicy for them. Nice fast delivery To add to post from previous order One time of perfect food is not enough. Had to take a star. I like Srivilai Thai. Taste good even with no fish sauce. Great seasoning read more

Ordered chicken pad Thai. Bland dry noodles with little else in it. No sign of any chicken at all. Extremely minimal egg or onion. Some of the most underwhelming pad Thai I have ever eaten. I had a few bites and stopped eating (and that says a lot coming from me!). Would rather spend my calories elsewhere. Two stars because they were nice people. read more

No way. The worse Thai I ever had. The dishes looked brown gray. Chicken was dry and not fresh. Tasted too salty & something picked up from 7/11. read more

It is not hyperbolic to say that I've tried over 150+ Thai places on both coasts combined, and the food at this truck holds a candle to quite a few legitimate sit-and-dine restaurants that I can think of. Go-tos include the golden noodles, basil delight, and the volcanic chicken. Prep & delivery time is promptly communicated & adhered. Worth mentioning that if your order meets or exceeds $20 on GrubHub, there is no delivery fee charged. It makes for a great night in when you feel bombarded by choices or simply don't want to pay to get a quick dinner delivered. One recommendation: As a regular, I've gone around the menu a few times. Please consider adding in 1-2 specials on a sporadic basis to keep it fresh for the regulars! read more

The food here is excellent, but their ability to keep it consistent is frustrating when it comes to wanting a specific order. The spice range can really vary on who's cooking the food that day (in my opinion) BUT it's always FRESH and always quality. I never was a fan of curry until I had it there & it's my go to every time now. read more

When you look at a breakdown of the reviews for this place, they really seem to run the gamut. I'm glad my husband and I checked it out. My husband did the actual pick up of the food, and he said there were tons of cars coming and going for takeout. We had the pad prik khing and pad Thai both spicy level 3. Wow! Have to say I was impressed with the prik khing. Just the perfect amount of spice and flavor. I love spicy and I'm glad I went with the 3 because I think higher would've been too much for me! Everything was piping hot and the ingredients all seemed fresh. Plus large portions and reasonable prices. I'd definitely be back if I was a local. read more

I'm giving Thai-U-Up overall 4 star rating because I have always loved their food! The flavors are delicious and intentional. I am sad to say the chicken wings, tho tastey, are just dinky. One of the wings I got in my last order was no bigger than my pinky, and I have rather small fingers. At least toss in a couple extra to even it out for $8. read more

I've been waiting to try this truck for some time. It's usually in West Seattle. I caught up to it recently at the Mobile Food Rodeo. For the Rodeo, I think they planned very well. In addition to regular sized dishes, they did a number of tasting sizes. All trucks are required to have a $5 dish but Thai-U-Up had a number of them. I appreciated this because I was able to sample two dishes, instead of one. I'm a sucker for fried chicken of any kind. I tried the volcano chicken and crispy garlic chicken. Of the two, I liked the crispy garlic chicken better. They're pretty much the same with different sauces. They are CRISPY! I love that. I had rice with my chicken and they cooked it well. That seems like a strange thing but I like my rice a little sticky. Separate grains and I don't get along. The portions were good. Service was quick and the food came out in decent time. Overall, I'd eat there again and hope to try more of the menu. read more

Thai U Up - $5 Mobile Food Rodeo Special. Crispy garlic chicken and volcanic chicken ($5 each). - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow! I'm sitting here right now, eating a sinful amount of Thai-U-Up. Hell, I'd order food from them just because of the name! Happily, provocative name aside, this place has great food! I decided to write the review while I was eating because at least it would slow me down a little. Now, I am lazy and will order the $20 minimum for delivery, even though I know there's no way I can eat all of the food. This delivery required two entrees and an appetizer. I live close to the truck but even so, the delivery was unbelievably fast - 20 minutes roughly. The potstickers were crispy and delicately flavored. I had to eat them all, even though my stomach was starting to hurt. The yellow curry was rich and delicious. The vegetables tasted very fresh and there was a lot of chicken in it. Actually, all of the portions were generous. Two normal humans, you know, the kind that don't stuff themselves to the point of sickness when the food is good, could share an entree. The crispy chicken was lightly breaded and very crisp. I got both dishes two stars which is the perfect spice for me - just a little warm. Definitely the best Thai I've had in awhile. Check them out. I'm going to go lie down now. read more

Thai U Up - Yellow curry, crispy chicken, potstickers. Delicious! - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The Pad See Iew from the food truck is delicious, but be forewarned - the spice game is strong! I normally ask for 4-star spiciness from Thai restaurants, but this one is really kicking my butt! Lots of chicken, and I kind of wish there was more brocccoli. But still really good. Service was polite and fast enough; however, the noodle dishes took longer than the rice dishes. My food came out piping hot! read more

Super fun food truck but the food wasn't amazing. Don't get me wrong- I ate it all- but the flavor just wasn't as pronounced as other Thai places I enjoy. Also the Thai iced tea was kinda watered down. Not a total failure but I'll be looking elsewhere for my pad see ew read more

The Pad Thai here is great!!! I've gotten both the chicken and tofu options and both are good. Would recommend it - quite delicious. The people here are very nice and the service is pretty fast. Overall, pretty standard Thai food, but I do think the Pad Thai is better than many other restaurants. Price is pretty standard as well ~$9 for the Pad Thai. read more

I any find anything to complain about here, we'll maybe only that they are a cash/check only food truck but that's not too big a deal. Great friendly service. Excellent fresh food, homemade spring rolls and pot stickers and super prices! For under $40 we got spring rolls, potstickers, phad Thai, phad kee mao, and volcano chicken w white rice. All was delicious, the volcano chicken was really incredible. The travel around, so keep your eyes peeled. We hit them up when they were at Dirty Bucket Brewery in Woodinville. read more

We were excited to try Thai-U-Up with all the good reviews and that they delivered to our house, but it turned out to be horrible experience on many levels. First of all we ordered our food through Eat24, which promises your food in 45-60 mins, and after 1 hour and 20 minutes we decided to call and see where our food was. The line was busy. The food then showed up right after we hung up the phone, however no apology was given to why it took so long. Second was the food. The springs rolls tasted like food court spring rolls that had been under a heat lamp for several hours. The Pad Thai, which we ordered 2 star was so spicy even my husband who normally orders 4 stars could only eat a few bits before it went into the compost bin. The eggplant, which was also ordered 2 stars, was ok, but kind of bland and not very spicy. We realize that sometimes things get messed up, but there were just to many things wrong with our experience for us to ever order from them again. read more
