We have been wanting to go here…read morefor a while but are seldomly in this neighborhood so it took a while to make it here but ultimately we were very happy that we did! For a long time I got Drunken Noodles whenever going to a Thai restaurant if I could but the last few times I have wanted something different than that. So on this outing I got the the House Ginger. This was a stir fry with your choice of protein (mine was chicken), ginger, stir fry sauce, garlic, onion, bell pepper, green onion and carrot. It also came with rice and the portion sizes were very satisfying and not too much. The flavor on my meal was so good, very fresh and bursting with flavor. Steve was equally impressed with his as he got the Drunken Noodles. Nothing is too fancy here. Decor is more basic but the place is clean and the food (at least mine) came out in containers but it was so good it didn't really matter. I think a lot if how it's presented is for the "to go" crowd of customers if I remember hearing that correctly from other people I chatted with about their meals here. Very good place with friendly service. Definitely worthy of all the stars!

The defining characteristic of Thai cuisine is its bold flavors. Due to the unique geographical…read morelocation and local ingredients of Southeast Asian countries, Thai food incorporates a generous amount of pungent seasonings such as basil, holy basil, mint, and more. Overall, Thai cuisine is a great choice. Environment: I arrived around 2:00 PM, and since it was past the lunch rush, there weren't many customers. The environment was very clean, with bright and spotless windows. Taste: I ordered the chicken with rice and added a portion of green curry beef. The chicken with rice was the restaurant's recommendation. It was impressive at first bite and quite enjoyable, but it became saltier as I ate toward the end. The portion of chicken was modest, so overall, it's still recommended. As for the green curry beef, it wasn't very rich, and the beef was scarce. I had expected chunks of beef, but what came out was sliced beef coated in starch. The texture wasn't great, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it. Service: The service was good. The staff came over to ask how the meal was, always serving with a smile.

Really good, with a huge portion of chicken. Other friend had stir fried veggies with tofu. Said the veggies were very fresh, not overcooked, and the sauce was flavorful. Not a lot of other customers in the restaurant, but there was a respectable amount of takeout traffic. They have a 6 page menu, which would normally scare me away, but they delivered on everything we ordered. Will definitely go back.

So I stumbled upon this when searching for dinner after a movie. I thought this might be a great place based on reviews. Plus each person can have a choice of Vietnamese, Chinese or Thai food. My friends and I actually ordered a dish from each. Our overall feedback is that the dishes needed more seasoning, some umami. We all had to add more salt and soy sauce- AND I never add more salt. I'm usually saying something is too salty. The portions were large but just lacking flavor. The Pad Se Ew and Beef Foo Young basically tasted the same. Not amazing. The eggplant dish (one of my fave Chinese dishes) was just ok. It was the best out of all the things we ordered. We went on a Friday and the place was busy w takeout orders. Maybe that affected the dinner service. Ambiance could use some help. It was very QUIET except for the people coming and going for take out. So quiet that we can hear customers conversations from the other side. We even had to quiet ourselves because at one point we were the only ones having a conversation. Background music would go a long way. Takeaway- Variety of menu items to try. Hoping the bland food was a one off. Will give it another try because there were a ton of people getting takeout.

I was excited to eat the spring rolls, but they were very soggy on the inside, not the best spring rolls I've ever had. The pad Thai was.. interesting. There were no peanuts on top, or lime served with it. The sauce that was put on top of the spring rolls, slipped into the pad Thai which made it hard to eat.

I started out just getting pho and a spring roll (which are both exceptional), but I've recently started trying other things. It's all been great and the portions are huge. Getting anything other than pho leaves me with leftovers for two more meals. The ambiance is decent; better than 90% of pho places, but not as quaint as Indochine on Pearl or some other Asian fusion places. It's small, so you can hear other peoples' conversations, but that's not a problem and is to be expected. If they're busy it can be tough to get a table, although I've never been turned away and they'll even put me at a bigger table if that's all that's available, even though it's just me. I've been to other places that make you wait until a smaller table opens up, so this is a nice change. Probably the best part is the service. All of the servers are so friendly and kind. They're attentive without hovering, which I really appreciate. Oh and they keep it very clean. One thing to keep in mind: if you want basil or cilantro with your pho you have to ask for it. They'll bring lime, jalapeños and bean sprouts but that's it. It's not an issue at all, just something to be aware of if it's your first time. All in all, 10 out of 10. Great food, good portions, relaxing atmosphere, and the friendliest servers around.

Staff is very friendly. Maybe they have a new cook? The food tastes better than I remember. Food portions are large and which is probably why the pricing is higher than other Pho restaurants. Honestly I don't mind paying more for food that's done right. Food: I always get steak and tendon pho anywhere I go. This place gives me the MOST tendon anywhere! You won't find a better serving of tendon. Other places only give 2-4 pieces of tendon in my bowl- what a rip! Most of the time, the I can't even finish all of the tendon at UP Pho. Thank you for this. Please don't change! Beef Kalbi- another dish that is worth the bang for your buck. They make it just as good as your Korean restaurant. Again, you won't find anyplace serving this amount of Kalbi. Highly recommend ordering. Bahn Mi: I tried their pork bahn mi for the first time today and whoah! I love that they pack it with tons of pickled veggies, cilantro and meat. So good. The only downside is that I got it to go and the bread got a bit soft. I give the bread a 3/5. I've had better baguettes. Glad this is an option in UP!
