    "A hidden gem on the Upper East Side!" Up Thai never disappoints — the food is bursting with authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and always arrives hot and fresh. The service is warm and attentive, and the cozy, stylish atmosphere makes it perfect for both casual nights out and special occasions. Don’t miss the Kang Kua Soft Shell Crab or the Pad Se Ew — both are outstanding. Highly recommend!

    I recently visited Up Thai, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The ambiance was cozy, and modern. and the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. I ordered summer special which softshell crab curry, steamed fish, crab fried rice and Duck Roti Roll and each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, perfectly cooked. The prices were reasonable, and affordable. Overall, I would highly recommend Up Thai to anyone looking for Thai Cuisine in upper eastside or experience a romantic dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Food is delicious. The service is good. We were arranged to sit at the table at the entrance so there is no picture for inside decorations.

    Great time . I took some of my clients from my job on a trip they were all elderly one was limited with mobility . They loved the food and our server was very patient and helpful . I have been here before with my friends and I enjoy there food. I wasn't sure how it would accommodate 6 elderly people because of the small intimate settings but it was an enjoyable experience .
