Thai-U-Up Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
I've only had the garlic chicken from here, but it was very good. Got spice level 4 and it delivered a kick. Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Got it delivered through uber eats so I can't speak on much else outside of the food, but I would recommend
Great little take out thai place. I've been eating their food for years - they used to be a food truck in SLU and now have this brick and mortar location on 1st next to the 7/11. I usually enjoy the pad thai or garlic chicken, both are very good.
I ordered 6 dishes (only 4 shown in photo) for my friend's baby shower. I worked with Ao who's the owner. She was great to work with! The food arrived hot and nicely plated. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous! They delivered it to my friend's home which was also in Burien and because of the close proximity, they waived the delivery fee. On top of that, Ao sent a complimentary large tray of fried rice. So kind!! Every dish we ordered was so flavorful, nicely spiced and the meats were so tender! I highly recommend Thai-U-Up!!! Absolutely delicious Thai food and Ao and her team are just the nicest people to work with. We hope to visit their restaurant someday soon.
Damn this food is so good. I love the panang or red curry. 2 stars is sufficient as 3 will burn your mouth. Easy place to eat in or take out. These guys are pros and the food is plentiful and so very good! Best Thai in Burien by a long shot
Good hole-in-the-wall restaurant, next to 7-11. Got order to go. Luckily, because the staff's kids were running around the place, changing the Tv, and playing on their phone. The food was good. Pad Ki Mao hit the spot. The Spicy Garlic Chicken was just ok. I ordered 4 out of 5, for heat. The heat barely registered. I'll try 6 next time. I'm not sure if it'll be first my list for Thai, even though it's very close.
This was my first time trying Thai-U-Up and we ordered through Door Dash for delivery. We ordered the Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew. From my first visual impressions upon receiving and opening the containers, the food looked good, but the containers made it seem like there wasn't that much food. Of course after actually indulging the food, I found out it was plenty and quite filling. We ended up having to save some to eat later because we would have probably had a food coma after eating it all. My only complaint is the food tasted a bit sweeter than what I am normally use to tasting when comparing it to other Thai restaurants.
