Only ate at TMU once, and it was pretty good, but since our favorite Thai places (Top Spice & Thai Chili) are so close, didn’t like it enough to make it a staple. Oh, and Thai Chili sells its sauces now (they’re very inexpensive), so you can make darn good Thai curries at home! We particularly like the masaman curry sauce with scallops: simmer them in the sauce with some onion, zucchini, kaffir lime leaves, fresh basil– top it off with some sliced avocado & cashews, and boy, is it ever delish!

Best Thai in town to me is Tamarind Seed in Midtown. But Thai Me Up is/was a close second. Top Spice is decent and consistent.

Beware any Thai (or Vietnamese, or Chinese) place that also serves sushi. That’s a strong indicator that they do neither well.

CSD: Good to know about Top Spice. Only eaten there once (Cobb Pkwy location), but what I had was superior to Siam, so likely a better delivery option.

No one wants to tell their friends to meet them for lunch at “Thai Me Up.” As silly as that sounds, I bet that cost them a ton of business over the years. Asian humor does not translate well.

And they have a coupon in the coupon book that comes in the mail too, the Savvy Shopper or whatever it’s called.

I’ve been to Thai Me Up once; found the battered and fried tofu to be a bit, well, different from the typical way of doing things.
