Up Thai

Absolutely loved the food at Up Thai! Poh Tak Thai-style was comforting and flavorful, packed with fresh shrimp, mussels, and squid. The broth was aromatic, and the garlic bread on top was a perfect touch. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Also, The host(Jern) was incredibly kind and welcoming. Definitely coming back!

We decided to have lunch here recently and check out the lunch specials. The location is in the middle of the block on second avenue between 73 and 74. It was really busy and there is very little warm space to stand as we waited for a table. The lunch specials menu is pretty good. Lots of choices. We ordered Pad Khing with beef and Kya Gai with chicken. Large portions. We each had tofu vegetable soup and I got crispy spring Roll and she got steamed dumplings. All very tasty. A lively place full of young people, many Asians. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely will go again.

What an amazing a meal! The standout dishes for me were the Hoi Jor, Crispy Shrimp and Squid, Duck Tamarind and Beef Short Rib Panang. Service was great and the decor was on point! I think they just finished remodeling the restaurant. Highly recommend!

This was my second time at Up Thai and it somehow managed to be even better than the first. I came straight from Brazil with my mom and was truly impressed to see how packed and vibrant the restaurant is. It’s clearly a place people love coming back to, and now I understand why. The food is absolutely outstanding and the quality is consistently impeccable. Every dish is beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What made the evening even more special was the service. Pearl and Mali were exceptional. They were warm, attentive, incredibly professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their hospitality elevated the entire experience. Up Thai is one of those rare restaurants where everything works perfectly: the food, the atmosphere, and the people. I will absolutely come back every time I’m in New York and will continue recommending it to everyone I know.

FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE deceivingly large portions. 4 guys came to eat and we got 4 entrees and 2 appetizers and had leftovers. We were serviced by Malee and she was the sweetest, super attentive to us and made this experience so seamless
