I ordered food from here for one of our corporate events - on recommendation from someone. They normally deliver through door dash (I believe), but since I was ordering large trays for a total of 25 people, they would not deliver an order even though it was over $600! Having to send people to pick up the food was definitely an inconvenience - as was the fact that everything was leaking all over the place!! The food was really good, but we'd probably find another place that delivers for the next time. read more

Really good Thai food in a homey restaurant. Service is very attentive and friendly. Portions are huge and food comes out quickly and piping hot. We shared a shrimp Pad Thai, chicken Panang curry and a spicy chili fish fillet dish. The pad Thai had large well cooked shrimp and the noodle dish had mix of savory, sweet and sour. The curry sauce was thick and flavorful, with a little nuttiness. The chicken was tender and copious with green beans, carrots, potatoes and onions. The fish was fried snapper strips sprinkled with chili sauce, lemongrass and basil. Everything was delicious! read more

The food was very blend. The Papaya salad very blend, shrimp no flavor. Tom Ka soup super sweet. Waitress just take forever to take our order ( we are the only table). My partner order a fish, it was exteneñy sweet. Definately never coming back. It is not worth to visit this restaurant. read more

The food and service were very good. The drunken noodles and red curry were big hits.

Delicious! My favorite Thai restaurant closed a few years back and this is the closest I've experienced. The service turns up the notch on rating this place- staff is welcoming and they provided excellent recommendations. The spring rolls were crispy and the fish dish was the perfect blend of spicy, saucy and sweet (fish). I'll be back for certain. read more

Excellent foos,, great portions and very helpful staff. They take their spice levels and flavors very seriously.

I'm usually pretty loyal to Up Thai, but lately it's fallen off. We order takeout a lot, and more often than not something is missing or incorrect from the order. Prices are so high. Apps are $12-15 and entrees are $20-$30, even a basic pad thai is $20. Dinner for two will run you close to $100, especially if you order takeout / delivery and have the fees. And for the price it's just not the same quality as it used to be. Last time I ordered my shrimp pad thai came with 3 shrimps - so disappointing for the price. My pad see ew was also super mushy / undercooked and not fried and flavorful. Up Thai is usually my go-to, but next time a Thai craving hits I am going to try something else. read more

Mistake or not? My son ordered an appetizer. The wrong one came out but he didn't complain and ate it anyway. The next thing you know the appetizer he actually ordered came out so he ate that too. Of course I got charged for both. Not sure if this was a mistake or a way to make the bill higher. The food is always good. read more

The food is good and the lunch specials are a good deal. Dine in can get busy at lunch time

Been coming here pretty consistently ever since I moved to Morristown. My go-to dishes are either the Spicy Basil and Pad Thai. The Fried Rice is also a pretty solid choice. I've ventured out and tried a few of their other dishes but these are what I'd recommend. In my opinion, there is a big difference between the dine-in quality vs the takeout. This is usually the case, but it matters more some foods than with others, and that really becomes obvious when getting food from here. Portions are generous, and the lunch special comes with a salad in peanut dressing which is done well. Ambience is nothing to write home about, as it's fairly small inside but generally you won't have trouble finding seating except maybe during the lunch rush. Service is generally good as the staff is fairly responsive once you get their attention. Taking one star off because prices are quite high and I unfortunately do feel like the quality has declined slightly over the last couple years. That being said, this is still one of the best options around the area for Thai food, but definitely recommend dining in vs getting take-out. read more

This place is cute and bigger than expected. The menu is beautiful. We started with Thai Iced Teas which were yummy. I ordered the red curry with tofu and asked for it to be spicy to which they did not disappoint. My friend ordered the Pad Thai which he said was delicious. Service was good. I would come back here again and try something different. read more

Update: I returned to the restaurant for another lunchtime luncheon. This time I ordered a more traditional dish, green chili chicken, and I can tell you it was spiced to my exact desired level. They even gave my table hot oil but I didn't need it. Full of flavor, my coworker also loved his (repeat of) drunken noodles. Service was a bit distant - they would acknowledge if you need something but otherwise generally do not stop by. Interior is simple; they let one guy sit at a large table but crammed the two of us into a smaller table. Why can't we have a large table if it's not that crowded? Also the rear light was flickering ominously and I was scared to use the restroom. So, the updated verdict: Food is more hit than miss, very solid Thai food. But the ambiance is a bit less than ideally kept up. I will leave 4 stars for now and give them one more chance to work on service and building maintenance for the illustrious 5th star. Side note: My reviews are based on lunch. Have not had dinner here, prices are reasonable for the chiles and related dishes but rather expensive for other main dishes. Caveat spendor. read more

Ordered: Pad See Ew (~$17) with Beef: stir fried flat noodle with beef, egg, Chinese broccoli seasoned with light garlic soy sauce Aya's take: It didn't take long for me to come back to Up Thai and I'm so glad I did because this meal was EVEN BETTER than the last. This beef pad see ew is the TRUTH. The garlic soy sauce is super flavorful. The beef is tender with some crispy bits from the wok which give it some nice depth. The Chinese broccoli had a nice crunch and the flat noodles soaked up all the flavor well. I inhaled this. Highly recommend this dish! read more

Up Thai - Pad See Ew (~$17) with Beef - Thai Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

Where has this been all my life? My guest and I enjoyed amazing flavor profiles and textures at a recent visit to Up Thai, mercifully free of the oil, heaviness, and blandness of other Thai places within even 15 minutes of here. We ordered the fried tofu, which was served hot and crispy with an oil and peanut dip; the se ew with beef, which had delicious and amazing caramelizatjon along the beef and the noodles, and was brightened by some greens; and the garlic and pepper tofu, which was fresh, pretty, and colorful. Sauces tied everything together on the palate. In addition to chicken, tofu, and beef, they offer lamb and sea bass as proteins, for a large and ambitious menu. The veggies were so flavorful that if they were your meal by themselves, you'd never miss the protein. I look forward to coming back for more! The parking lot is sort of a travesty if you come in from the northernmost entrance - if you're coming from Denville, turn at the second left for much nicer parking spots. read more

Stopped in for a later dinner (7pm) on a weeknight and I was the only one in the restaurant. At first it was kind of a red flag but then I noticed a constant flow of takeout orders being picked up. I ordered the spring rolls and chicken pad thai (classic, I know). The food arrived in a reasonable time and I loved it all. The portions were very fair for the price and I was full by the time I left. The spring rolls were crispy and I loved the sauce. My favorite part was that the pad thai wasn't overly covered in sauce. It was the perfect balance which is hard to find at some thai restaurants. The staff was very friendly and they took great care of me. The parking was simple and the dining room was very clean. read more

I didn't have much interest in Up Thai previously because they don't offer gluten-free drunken noodles, my favorite dish. My friend suggested we meet there for dinner and I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did. We visited the BYOB establishment on a Thursday night, and it was fairly busy, but we were able to get seated quickly. The menu has typical Thai staples, and I decided to try the spicy chili tofu, which was wonderfully seasoned. My friend's green curry was delicious, and I'll be ordering that for my next visit. Both dishes came with a small bowl of rice, which provided a perfect balance for the meals. The service was great, and we were attended to when we needed something, so I'll definitely be returning. read more

I ordered the drunken noodles lunch option with shrimp. This was my second time getting delivery and it was definitely worse than last time. Not all of the noodles had sauce on them and they were so overcooked to the point of being mushy. Many were clumped together. The shrimp was good and spice level was good but the drunken noodles themselves were just so disappointing. read more

Up Thai - Drunken Noodle (L) - Thai Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

Our favorite Thai place in Rockaway (Pearl of Siam) closed so our radar was out for another good local replacement. Yelp reviewers have given this small place a bunch of positive reviews so we took a shot on take out. Happy to report that our experience has been five stars. We have had a variety of items and each one was yummy in the tummy without requiring an asbestos palate to handle the spice. That's really smart because you can always ask them to "kick it up a notch" if that's your taste. The prices, like most Thai places we have been to, are a bit strong but not out of line with the quantity and, more important, the quality. Their sauces - always a treat with good Thai food - taste fresh and nicely compliment the dishes we have ordered. My wife is a vegetarian and loves their take on tofu dishes. Me, I dig in on the shrimp rolls and curry puffs - two dishes that are the best I have had at any Thai restaurant. They have small tables outside but so far we have only done take out. Their service is always quick so trust their ETA when you place a call-in order. We have been gettin food here for a few weeks and each meal has been very good. Give these locals a try - it's great to have a quality Thai restaurant nearby. Recommended read more

Up Thai - two people standing outside of a restaurant - Thai Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

Always in search of good Thai food, we ordered takeout tonight from Up Thai. I had seen some recommendations and had this place bookmarked for a while. It didn't disappoint, the food was delicious! I'm always a big fan of ginger so I really had no choice but to order the Wild Ginger with chicken. The chicken, along with vegetables, in a light brown sauce was perfect over white rice. My wife chose the Garlic & Pepper. She loved it and I had a taste and concurred! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall on Rt 53 in Morris Plains. The inside was very small but nicely decorated. They did have some place settings out, but no one dining inside. I'm guessing that as we get completely out of covid times, those tables will be filled. If you like good Thai food, give Up Thai a try! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past it but the food is good. Dropped in here for our anniversary lunch and I must say we din't regret it. Liked the place a perfect definition of hole in the wall. We had curry puffs and duck rolls and salad for starters; Penang curry and spicy fried rice for our entree; Warm carrot cake with myer rum for dessert. Late picked up the puffs for dinner too . Nothing fancy but loved the ambience. read more

I love Thai food and I've been to many Thai restaurants, I'd have to say food served at Up Thai is too sweet. I went there with a friend for lunch and we both felt the same way. I only ate 1/4 of my Pad Thai b/c it's too sweet. Sorry. read more

1) my food was delivered 30-40 minutes late 2) my food, when it was finally delivered, one of the dishes was wayyyy toooo spicy!!! I couldn't eat it and it was too late to order from another place so I went to sleep hungry 3) I called the restaurant to let them know that my food was too spicy for me and that's not how I ordered it. Note, I did NOT ask for a refund. What I did ask is for them to work with Grubhub to update their menu and checkout options so that a customer can select their spice level (mild, medium, spicy)..... what did the restaurant do? They said "send me a picture of your food because I need to confirm that it is really spicy"..... like wow, so they don't believe me when I say it's too spicy? I'm so annoyed. Eventually I raised the matter with Grubhub who issued me a refund for the item... but that wasn't my point! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. read more

I've eaten there several times and I really like the food. The reason for only three stars is that I am extremely allergic to tofu. I ordered the pad Thai and it became very obvious that there was tofu in it. When someone says they have a food allergy, the restaurant needs to be more careful. read more

Love the food here and the service is excellent. The red curry sauce is top notch. The crabmeat pouches are a nice starter.

Something is definitely different here. Maybe new owners? New chef? All the familiar faces are gone. The broth in my food was darker, heavier and flavorless. I won't be going back. read more

Our go-to takeout. We love Up Thai, especially the beef See Ew and the Drunken Noodles. The golden pouches are delicious too!

Received take out after not being here for a few years and this place has gone downhill. We ordered spring rolls, golden pouch, pad Thai, and Bangkok fried rice. The spring rolls tasted like they were overloaded with black pepper - had half of one then threw the rest out. The golden pouches were the only good thing we ordered. The pad Thai was extremely dry with no flavor and the egg was burnt! The fried rice also tasted like it was overloaded with black pepper. We paid $70 for takeout and liked a $9 appetizer. Sad to see this place take such a turn. read more

Absolutely delicious! As a self proclaimed rice noodle connoisseur, I give Up Thai's drunken noodles my golden seal of approval. I ordered for delivery to work and will definitely add up Thai to my take-out lunch rotation. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp and specified "medium spice" in the comment section. I find that at most Thai places, even if there is a spice symbol next to the item on the menu, spice (in the form of chili) isn't added unless you ask for it. for me, the spice is needed to kick things up a notch. And the "medium" spice level definitely did the trick! It may have just been a tad too spicy but was still manageable. The sauce has a great Thai basil flavor and veggies included carrots, peppers and cooked tomatoes (which I haven't seen before in this dish but were flavorful) the best part was the shrimp! Although there were only 4 shrimp total... they were really tasty. Just wish there were more included! The Thai salad was a nice surprise. I didn't know it came with the noodles. It came with a delicious peanut sauce which was so so good. Only strange thing about the meal was that I ordered a Diet Coke and was given a Diet Pepsi .... but it's not a big deal. Overall, the food was delicious and instructions were followed. The drunken noodles are a must have! read more

We went to Up Thai for the first time for one of our date nights and wow...we were very pleased with our meals. We ordered a shrimp pad Thai and drunken noodle dish and each dish was very tasty! The service was also on point as we were seated right away and the our order was taken within adequate time. I would not say that the design and layout of the restaurant was as good as some other Thai restaurants we have visited, however everything was clean which is what really matters. We will absolutely be back for lunch and dinners in the future! read more

We were in the area searching for a quick bite for dinner, and we found this place. Upon arriving, we saw a little restaurant with a few outdoor seating tables, nothing crazy in appearance. It is a small restaurant with about 7-8 tables. There was no wait, and we were seated immediately on a Saturday evening. We ordered the Chicken Drunken Noodles- Med. heat level, and the Chicken Thai Red curry. The Drunken Noodles were very delicious. The noodles were soft, and had a great smokey flavor from the wok. It was flavorful, and left you wanting more. But, the heat level was more of a hot than medium. I can do okay with spice, but this left me a little teary eyed. If you cannot handle spice, please let them know, Thai Chilis are no joke. The Thai Red curry was pretty good as well. It was a little bit on the sweet side for my taste, but my fiancé seemed to enjoy it. The flavor was nice, and you can really taste the coconut milk. It is also served with a side of white rice which balances out the flavors from the curry. The staff there was very nice, and attentive. The waitress constantly refilled our water glasses (she probably saw me dying from the spice). I saw a lot of take out orders on a Saturday night, but not a lot of sit down customers. I recommend for a quick Thai meal! read more

Up Thai - Drunken Noodle and Red Curry - Thai Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

So far only been for takeout but they've been very pleasant and food quality is quite good.. fresh ingredients & superior flavor. I'm not an expert on the Thai genre of food but I've never been disappointed read more

I'm going to be honest. The rice wasn't fully cooked which was a hard pill to swallow. The rice is an essential that makes the meal what it is. Also, don't most restaurants use rice cookers? How did you make uncooked rice? Does no one test it? How did we get served Jasmine rice that wasn't even near sticky/soft? Nonetheless the curry was DELICIOUS. I had yellow curry with shrimp and salmon. It didn't have potato. I had to add it. The weird part is, on the receipt they charged one plate for potato's and didn't charge the other. Is this a scam, where most people don't check the receipt, so you tack on prices to generate more money? I'll give it a 3. The curry was really good. But uncooked rice + charges that wasn't applicable to other plates that added the same thing is "weird" to me. I might stop back, but it won't be a first choice. read more

Probably the best Thai in Denville -- they have such unique flavors combined to form the most perfect of dishes -- it's truly refreshing going everytime. Now, I know I review a lot of Thai restaurants & Up thai isn't my #1 favorite but it just so happens to be my #2 favorite & that's because of throughout the years, i've had the honor of trying almost everything on their menu & not a SINGLE thing wasn't perfect. In fact, when regular customers go & ask for "spicy" they will go a max of 'medium' because their actual spicy (which I typically get) is out of this world lava-fire but it's also incredibly tasty! Now don't get me wrong, if you're into burning a hole into your second stomach, just ask for "thai spicy 5" they will happily accommodate but otherwise, stick to medium -- the flavors, gravy, ingredients in conjunction with the heat always make a perfect combination every single bite one bite at a time! You're probably wondering why if this is my second favorite thai restaurant, why I didn't give it 5 stars, well the food is amazing, the service is great not to mention they treat me like family BUT the parking is atrocious -- not entirely sure that should be an entire star off but I cannot whole heartedly give it the 5. This also a positive thing, with COVID affecting so many restaurants Up Thai has been thriving on take out orders -- that is actually the crux of the problem there are always 5-6 delivery drivers waiting for their door dash, uber eats etc that they hog all the spots. In any case, if you're in the area & looking for a warm delicious thai meal, UP THAI is the spot to go -- also as basic as it sounds their thai salad with homemade thai-peanut dressing is literally one of the best i've ever had. Thank you thank you Up Thai team -- I cannot wait to try some more entrees soon! read more

What a great little gem! I stumbled on this place on a drive through Jersey when I needed to pull off the road for a work conference call. They feature excellent tasting and affordable lunch specials... with satisfying portions. I had Thai Basil with chicken on my visit but certainly had food envy looking at dishes on neighboring tables (the Pad Thai was definitely calling my name). Service-wise, everything was spot on. The servers were friendly and super accommodating. Atmosphere-wise, the place was clean and fresh looking... and super inviting! Hit this place up if you are in the area.

We went there after a recommendation from one colleague. It is a small restaurant on route 53 and a little hard to find in first chance. It was open until 930 PM and we entered at 9 PM. As soon as we entered and sit, the server said, you have to give all orders together. I was like let me read the menu first. Anyway, we ordered lemongrass soup, curry puff, pad Thai and Thai red curry. The soup was a bit oily as I had tom yum earlier too in various Thai restaurants so I Know. Curry puff was chicken pastry so nothing special was that Thai red curry was okay and so was pad Thai though it was very sweet. And yes, after serving our order, the server again reminded us they ll be close so any last order? The ambiance was good. While eating, dishes cleaning sound ( as they were closing and the kitchen was just behind us as it is a small restaurant) was keep coming so it was not a pleasant dining experience. read more
