stopped in for a to go order on our way to Seattle and what a great surprise! Fast, easy and quite good!

Check in area and kitchen at Upin Thai

Eggs rolls were tasty but greasy. Huge take out, seating for 3 at a table, 7 at the rail along the window. Shrimp Fried Rice tasty but greasy as well??? Pad Thai Noodles are the real deal. Love it, will come back.

Upin Thai's rendition of Thai "salad"
Faye L.

Upin was a quick stop for food as my family passed through Dickenson. The restaurant is small and cramped. It doesn't lend itself to dining in, as we discovered when we decided we wanted to eat before we headed back on the road. There were seats lined around a counter-height bar and one table with two chairs. It was noted that Upin is better known as a takeout restaurant as our group of six sat separated. The kitchen is in plain view. This was nice though, because it was demonstrated that orders are prepared fresh as they are placed. The girl who took our order behind the counter was very attentive and sweet. Kudos to her for great customer service. However, the food here was meh. The chicken fried rice got a thumbs up from my son. On the other hand, the Thai chicken salad was far different than the ones I've had at other Thai restaurants. I understand that each has their own rendition but this was far off. When you think of salad, you think a medley of vegetables consisting mainly of chilled greens. When we were brought our food, I thought it wasn't what we had ordered. The girl confirmed it was indeed Thai salad. What we were given was a stir fried entree with chicken, bell peppers, onions and an acidic sauce served with two scoops of rice. The "salad" had interesting variances of temperature with both warm and cold pockets. The pad thai was more disappointing. You typically can expect a degree of consistency when ordering this from Thai restaurants. Upin's lacked the full-embodied flavor denoting what I've become familiar as pad thai. Each of us from our group had a taste and agreed. While there were generous portions of chicken, the entree was bland and greasy. The remainder of the large serving went untouched until I brought it home and revitalized it myself with the seasonings it was missing. Upin is an "okay" restaurant. The menus could use some work to describe the renditions of each entree. I wouldn't recommend Upin to those who've had and love Thai cuisine. But, I can appreciate how it provides variety for the locals in Dickenson.

Well, if you're dining in and like salt. You'll find enough of the sodium in both the food and the staff. We might've come on a bad day, but the customer service could use some warming up. Heavy handed with the fish sauce, heat and salt. Potatoes in the curry were undercooked. Rice over done. The peanuts tasted like the dry roasted salted kind since they were not the soft peanutty flavor morsels found in other massaman curry dishes. The meal just wasn't the comfort food I was seeking this cold rainy day in ND.

Yes it is small, yes there is really no place to eat inside. But it is authentic, incredibly tasty and the staff and owner are very personable, humble and very good at their art. I wouldn't change anything about Upin Thai- please support the local non-chain businesses like this in Dickinson. We need more of these! Fantastic food and service. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it is all great. Personally, the pad thai and spicy beef are my favorites. The waleye was very tasty - for those who are a little more adventurous. easily 5 stars.

See all

Great Thai place in Dickinson, North Dakota. Friendly staff. Best egg roll I have had ages. Glad we stopped in.
