Thai Me Up — Restaurant in Stockton

Not authentic Thai food. Ordered papaya salad, tom yum with chicken, garlic chicken wings, beef larb, and pad see ew. Also sticky rice and jasmine rice on the side.

Papaya salad was very salty. Lacked balance of sweet, sour, spicy, & umami. It only tasted salty and a tad sweet. Disappointing.

The tom yum lacked the seafood and traditional nam prik pao (thai chili paste) taste that usually embodies the dish. There was also NO mushrooms in the soup. Instead, there was pineapple which was odd to me. The chicken was very dry even though it was in the soup.

Garlic chicken wings were heavily breaded and had NO garlic flavor. The meat was also chewy rather than tender.

Beef larb only had a strong toasted rice flavor at first bite. It needed more sweetness and sour to even be enjoyable.

Pad see ew was waay too sweet. A little more soy and oyster sauce would’ve made the dish better. It just tasted like sweet noodles. Wasn’t very enjoyable and didn’t taste as authentic as traditional pad see ew.

The side of sticky rice and jasmine rice was disappointing. It’s enough for a child to eat. Not worth the price for the amount that was served.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was my only meal I had at the end of the day, I wouldn’t have eaten most of it. I had to ask for extra limes, sugar, & pepper just to season things enough for me to at least eat.

Servers were friendly and nice. Atmosphere is very casual and welcoming, yet the lighting made it hard to read the menu. I had to use my phone flashlight to figure out what to order. The tiny font on the menu didn’t help either. Also, the random music genre threw off the vibe of a “Thai restaurant”.

Kudos to the cute decor and pretty cocktails, but I won’t be coming back for dinner. Maybe only for just a...

WAY OVERPRICED! Sorry but the food was not even close to what it’s supposed to taste. The price was a joke, and I am trying to be nice here. Four dishes and a small appetizer came up over $100! WTH?!!! This is Thai food btw as a reminder. For that price, I was extremely disappointed with the authenticity of the food. BUT at least it should have tasted somewhat close to how it’s supposed to taste but NOPE.

Service was great. Very friendly and fast service. Attentive.

Unfortunately was way too dark, had to put on my reading glasses to identity the food because I could not identify by the taste.

Please retrain the cooks or find someone who knows how the dishes are supposed to taste. I guess you can call it Asian fusion then that would explain the lack of flavor.

Try this place yourself to make your own judgement. I cannot describe the details of the flavor of each dish without offending the cook. Just my personal experience from eating homemade and restaurant Thai and Laos food for the last 40+yr, this was too disappointing for me to return and pay that much for this TYPE of food.

I also noticed the cost a shot of alcohol came up to $30! No need to comment on that one. Make your own judgement from this fact. Happy dining….. OH!!! Tip: if ordering sticky rice, make sure you order one or more for each person because it’s two mouth...

Wow let me tell you how thoroughly disappointed I am! We got takeout first off it was really expensive second my husband ordered chicken pad Thai…..and he got seven little skewers with chicken on it probably doesn’t even amount to half of a chicken breast ;( I ordered vegetarian yellow curry with tofu and what I got was a very small container that was halfway full with something that maybe could be yellow curry….. it’s brown and cashew in color and separated in 2 layers looks so nasty and unappetizing!! Inside this mysterious sauce there are 10 little tiny shreds of carrot and eight cubes of potato in this half empty bowl which I might add is half of the size that you would get a yellow curry any other restaurant and then they left it halfway empty so one quarter of a serving;( ;( ;(

We picked up our food right at closing so there’s nothing that we can do about it tonight we’re both gonna go to bed hungry ….it is insane!!!

This is probably a great place to go to for a date I saw lots of couples enjoying themselves sitting at the table definitely not the place you want to go to get takeout make sure you check your food before you leave!!

I will be contacting management first thing in the morning...
