I told the gentleman behind the cash register that I had no idea what to order. He asked if I liked curry and when I said yes he offered to give me a sample of the green curry and panang curry sauces. Both were amazing! I ended up getting the panang curry with tofu and I couldn’t finish it all but didn’t have enough left for another meal. It was delicious and I love that this place is set in a food court of sorts where my family could choose what they wanted and I could have curry!
i wish i liked this place more than i did. the seasoning is good though it a bit salty for me. right noodles for drunken noodles, with cai lan too (but they put broccoli on the menu description). pad thai came with little dried shrimp as well. green curry is good, on the thick side for me.
my problem is that they charge extra for almost everything (protein, spicy pepper) but the portion is small. the cashier wasn’t friendly enough to explain to me about the add-on.
i would say if you want something close to real Thai places in bigger cities and willing to spend more, go here. at least the taste is right. bring your own pepper flake too.
I’m not sure what other reviews see that I don’t. This is an OK Thai place. Ordered coconut curry and pad Thai. **IMPORTANT** the spice levels are not accurate. Got medium spice on the coconut curry and it was 🔥. If you have no spice tolerance, ask for negative heat (sarcasm).
Other notes:
1. The sticky rice and mango is really tasty!
2. Pad Thai is just OK. Noodles were to glassy in texture and too thin, and 1/3 of the container was just sprouts.
3. Coconut curry sauce is good except the heat level is way off. Super spicy even on medium. Also, usually there’s more than just green peppers in this dish. Bamboo shoots, red bell pepper, and basil leaves would usually be incorporated.
3. The rice was not great.
Curry Up catered our wedding and knocked it out of the park! Everything was so professionally done, beautifully presented, & most importantly truly delicious! Our guests were raving over everything — especially the mango sticky rice spoons — and everyone was returning for seconds! 10/10!!
Surprisingly flavorful! I got the pad kee mao with chicken and my husband got the stir fry with mixed vegetables and both were super tasty with the perfect amount of spice (we got mild). Would definitely eat here again. And the person who checked us out (blond, recommended Dichotomy’s coffee?) was super friendly. All around an A+ experience.
