Thai Me Up in Astoria

-The inside looks cute, right on the water. -the cobalt bar seating is cute, but not friendly for those of us who are short. All the tables were either occupied or dirty. -My blueberry lemonade definitely didn't have lemonade in it, which was hilarious. -My date and I ordered pumpkin curry, which wasn't bad in flavor, but seriously scant on content. There was maybe 3 kabocha chunks meandering around. Could have used a greater bulk of veg. -our waitress sat down the tureen of curry and looked at us blankly for a weirdly long pause before my date said, "Could you please bring the rice and some plates, please?". She was friendly, but seemed to have trouble manging tasks. The restaurant was not super busy. -This place has potential. But it's really not there just yet... and so neither is the value.

We went here today seeing the 4 stars review on Yelp.   We were very excited and ordered 4 dishes , Pineapple Fried rice , papaya salad, pad Thai and mammesan chicken wing. So far it is the worst Thai restaurant we have been too . The pineapple fried rice lacks pineapple ( the Chef forgot to add them in ), they are not much rice but plenty of raisin . I have never seen any restaurant put raisin in their pineapple fried rice. And OMG papaya salad is super spicy and they can't adjust the spicy level when we ask them about it . I can't eat it . Pad Thai is okay.  The only thing is good is the chicken wing . We probably will not come back here but we want to let you guys know that if you guys come here,  here is our feedback.

Exciting to have Thai Me Up open a location in Astoria.   The food is truly the best Thai we have had on the coast.   First of all, the selection is really nice.  You have this wide range of Thai style wing, numerous appetizers, traditional noodles and curries.   The pickup app makes is easy to plan ahead.  Parking is not so easy...suggest to look for street spaces on Marine as neighboring spaces are all reserved....
