Reviews for Up 2U Thai Eatery in Alameda, CA

I decided to try Up 2U Thai Eatery that I found on Yelp as Monkey Thai which is my usual Thai place in Alameda has been jacking... up prices and dropping the quality of food with each passing day. Up 2U Thai Eatery had a reasonable 3.5 stars rating so I feltthat it would at-least be on par with Monkey Thai. It is located at the end of Webster street so you will have to find streetparking which is tough as the entire stretch of Webster street is full of shops and restaurants. After going through the menu,I decided to get the Khow Soi ($12) to-go. I had to pay cash as they have a minimum to use credit cards that I did not hit.After ordering it was a short 10-minute wait and I was on my way. I got two plastic containers one for the broth and the otherfor the noodles. The broth tasted flat and needed more seasoning and spices. The quantity of noodles was very small and most ofthe container was full of cabbage or maybe it was lettuce. Overall this was one poor dish. Price wise it was exactly same aswhat you would pay for a similar dish in any other Thai restaurant in Alameda but the quality was just not there. I'm going tostick with Monkey Thai as even after the drop in quality, it is still better than Up 2U Thai Eatery in my opinion. Read more

Roach curry with no apology. We had a few dishes delivered to us via Eat24. To be fair, everything tasted amazing but things... took a turn for the worse when my wife had a crunchier than usual bite and spit out a large (as big as the pieces of chicken)roach. Now that alone would not warrant a one star review because stuff happens but their response did. I called them andnot only did they not apologize, but they really didn't seem to care. They asked for my address and told me they would send outanother order. It never came. Maybe roaches in their Curry is just normal, not sure. Read more

The fresh rolls are really the best I've ever had. All of their menu is great as well.

Very nice upscale great food ,and cute server

There's plenty of good things to go around at Up 2U. Some of my personal favorites are the coconut shrimp appetizer (which is... secretly a delicious salad with lime dressing) and the pad see ew. It's also nice to go with a group and order several dishes toshare. The service is generally very good, though getting the final check can sometimes take a bit of time. Still, for the priceand variety, you can't beat it! Read more
