I had a quiet lunch here a couple days ago, and I love how close it is my work (a few minutes walk!) The workers are kind and very friendly and attentive. I had their lunch special of the pad thai. It was delicious and a generous portion, I still had plenty for dinner. I've found my new go-to for lunch/dinner read more

A cute, smaller sized restaurant in downtown Upland. The space is used the best that it can be for the small size that it is. There is a neat "smoking" wall section. The food was delicious! They gave us complimentary gyoza because we were waiting awhile for our food. Overall I'll for sure stop in again to try more. read more

We had a wonderful evening dining at this restaurant last night! I had the short ribs and my husband had the Panang Beef. Both were very flavorful and delicious! We will definitely return! read more

Everything about this place makes it better than any other Thai restaurant in the area. YES, better than Sanamluang in Claremont. YES, better than Lucky Elephant in Ontario. It looks like an upscale restaurant when you first walk in. The music is like you're in a fancy steak house, but thservice here IS upscale and their food is right up there. Generally all Thai food tastes the same to me, but theirs was flavorful and served hot. Awesome place. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. read more

Enjoyed a lovely dinner with my sister last night. The food was so yummy delicious and the service was fantastic! Joyce and her team are always sweet and friendly. Look forward to going back. read more

The service here is great with the owner personally greeting the guest and seeing to all their needs, but the food was not up to the same standard, unfortunately. All of the homemade sauces on the food were amazing, but everything we ordered was overcooked. I ordered the pad Thai noodles and they arrived so mushy it was inedible, the spring rolls were too hard to eat, the wings were so tough there was almost no meat left to eat off of them, and the ribs were the same. I really wanted to love this restaurant because I love Thai food and I had read good reviews about this place and the chef/owner. read more

Excellent all around. We had the Chicken Satay, Pad See Ew, Mandalay Curry and Thai Iced Tea. All were delicious and very fresh. The satay was accompanied by a home made peanut sauce that had fresh roasted peanuts. The curry was tasty and generously served and the service was friendly and fast. This is a very new restaurant and much appreciated in this area, the restaurant is casual but also good for a casual date or family dinner. We'll definitely be returning for their lunch specials and more dinners read more

I just happened to be walking in downtown upland during the lemon festival and realized they opened a new Thai restaurant. The mandalay curry with white rice was phenomenal to say the least. I will definitely be back for this dish. The service was everything you ask for when it comes to dining. Many thanks to my server Gift.(great name) She was amazing. Thank you Patra dining...and thank you Gift. read more

First time there. I can say I finally found our Thai restaurant. I've been looking for years and I found this gem. Great service and absolutely great food. A real taste of Thai food. I ordered Pad Se eww, pad Thai and amazing fried rice. Dinner Portions were solid and we left full. Easy parking and worth the visit. I will be back. read more

Joyce is the owner and she is truly the sweetest woman. The best Thai food in the area. Portions and huge and every thing we have tried is amazing. We came two nights in a row for dinner this week. Cutest spot in downtown read more

Such a nice dining experience for my brother and I today. Chicken Pot Stickers, Shrimp Fried Rice, Pad Thai with Pork, and Cashew Chicken (not pictured). We both enjoyed our own side salads with ginger, soy vinaigrette dressing (Joyce's own recipe. YUM!). Everything was excellent! This was only my second time ever going to a Thai restaurant. Our waitress, Nona, provided excellent service. We look forward to going back soon. Joyce Patra, the owner (pictured with us), took time to speak with us and told us a bit about her history. This restaurant has only been open for three months. She had a different restaurant in Claremont for ten years that she sold before opening up Patra Fine Dining. Plus, she previously had another restaurant in La Verne in the Vons shopping center on Foothill Blvd/White Ave. Patra Fine Dining 160 E.

Had a training in dtwn Upland. Most of my colleagues opted for the usual sandwich. I headed over to Patra for what proved to be a very good food experience: clean place, French bistro kind of music, sporty elegant waitresses (might have been the Owner). I ordered the green curry but on the menu they only had it with tofu, chicken and shrimp. I asked for salmon and they adapted quickly. Brown rice and jasmine tea which both came steaming. The curry was so right and the salmon done at just the right temperature. If you know what I mean, it's so easy to dry out a salmon.... My money is my voice so my Amex will see more of this place... read more

Patra Dining - Salmon green curry, brown rice and jasmine tea - Thai Near Me - Upland, California

We went on a Sunday evening recently for dinner. The atmosphere is nice, with exposed brick walls and interesting art. We were greeted immediately and the waitstaff were very friendly, but it was incredibly slow despite the restaurant being not even half full. We waited about 30 minutes for appetizers alone, and then main dishes for our party came out slowly one by one, with the last one arriving 15 minutes after everyone else's was on the table. The food itself was inconsistent. Appetizers: the veggies puffs were delicious; the peanut sauce with the chicken satay was bland and one piece of chicken didn't seem fully cooked. Main dishes: the fried rice looked like it would be great, loaded with veggies and egg, but it was extremely bland and disappointing; pad see ew was good; and green curry was very tasty but much spicier than requested. We brought home leftovers and ended up throwing them out because no one was enthusiastic about eating more of this food. There are so many other Thai restaurants around the area, I can't say I'd never try this place again but I won't make it a priority to go back. read more

Food was great. Service needs some improvement but nothing to stop me from eating here again.

The owner, sweet, beautiful, lovely energy and the waitress was attentive and mindful. That being said, I'd been waiting since Patra opened to visit, the reviews astounding! I was super excited after 8 months of fighting cancer to go on a date with my husband and this was my choice.... both lovers of Thai food!!!! The restaurant was warm, a fan was necessary to keep us cool. The restaurant oddly boring in decor and paper menus dirty. I had read about how over the top the "experience" was in our little town... I was ecstatic to go! The food was edible but nothing that made me crave a second visit. We got the beef puffs (i saw no beef), crispy rolls (nothing out of the ordinary).. I'd much rather a hole in the wall w the hot pots and spinning chili jars even though I can't do heat anymore after radiation. Which brings me to the steak salad. I'm accustomed to long and tender straps of steak... these were little nuggets completely overcooked and hard to chew. It said lime dressing, no indication of any heat and it clearly had chilies in it marinating so I couldn't eat it. I used the restroom and it was not clean and very unbecoming for a restaurant that is seemingly to be a whole package. No offense intended but we came home w the left overs, tossed them and made burritos. We both are good cooks and don't eat out but 1 or 2 times a year because of our disappointment. To reiterate... the service was swell and all but I was excited for our little town. We were the only ones there at prime dinner time, even made a reservation because of the reviews. I don't get the hype at all sadly read more

If you're looking for amazing Thai food made with love, look no further! This cozy little restaurant is an absolute gem. The owner is the sweetest person you'll ever meet--so warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about her food. We started with the beef puff pastry appetizer, and wow--what a treat! The pastry was perfectly flaky, and the savory, well-seasoned beef inside made for a melt-in-your-mouth bite. Definitely a must-order. For mains, we had the BBQ chicken, which was grilled to perfection--juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. We also tried the shrimp curry which was outstanding. The noodles had the perfect balance of texture and seasoning, while the curry was rich, fragrant, and packed with deep, comforting flavors. To finish, we had the banana dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. Warm, caramelized, and just the right amount of indulgent. Beyond the fantastic food, the hospitality here is what truly makes this place special. You can tell the owner puts her heart into everything, and it shows. I can't wait to come back and try more! 5/5--highly recommend! read more

Great authentic Thai food. Owner is very personal and friendly. Used to have other Thai restaurants in the area. Peanut sauce is authentic! Ground peanuts! Mango sticky rice! All Food is great! read more

It is so nice to have another really good restaurant in downtown Upland. I have been here twice and loved it both times. I first checked it out with a friend at lunch. They have several lunch specials. I tried the Massaman curry and it was delicious. The whole table next to us had the spicy cashew chicken. The lady who sat near me told me that you couldn't go wrong with any choice. I think she was right! The next time we had a dinner special - curry with shrimp and scallops. I wanted to try the cashew chicken, but it wasn't on the dinner menu. When I asked, they said they would make it for me. Both entrees were absolutely delicious! My husband doesn't like to try new places, but he really enjoyed his dinner. The food was excellent and the service was so friendly. I was so excited to try the food again that I forgot to take pictures. We'll be back soon and I'll add pictures then. read more

Patra is a hidden gem of Upland, and we'll be going back again for sure! The Thai food is so fresh and tasty, and the wait staff so attentive. We enjoyed the Pineapple Fried Rice, curry and Vegetarian Crispy Rolls and the banana dessert. We love when Joyce the owner comes out to chat. read more

We are so happy we finally tried Patra's. We love supporting small family businesses. We had such a pleasant dinner experience. The owner Joyce's was so lovely and you can tell she cares about her business and her customers. The restaurant is clean with simple decor. We ordered pad see ew , chicken fried rice and pot stickers and Banana Flambé. Everything was delicious and the portions were perfect. Maya was a great waitress as well. We wish you much success. We can't wait to enjoy more dinners at Patra's. read more

Sweet new little spot in our neighborhood and I am so happy! Food and service are excellent! The owner herself checked to see how we were doing and offered to customize spiciness levels of our food. She also was gracious and attentive, as was all her staff. It is a small gem, the decor is nice, with some thoughtful elements that add ambiance like a fog and lights decor on one wall. Encourage others to try it out! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I eat here for lunch maybe 2 times a week. I can't get enough of it. Food is always fresh and hot! It's worth the wait time. I highly recommend this place for authentic Thai food. read more

Came here for the first time today. Ordered the curry chicken off of the lunch menu. The food was very reasonably priced and I took it back to my office. I found the portion was generous and enough for me to turn into two meals. Definitely a great value. Plus it tasted great. While I was there, the hostess was very nice and the service, although minimal, was still helpful and pleasant. While waiting for my food, I took the opportunity to look around. Not the fanciest restaurant I've ever seen, but that's ok. The decor was more than enough and the ambiance was very chill and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back. Probably weekly. read more

Not the Thai food I was expecting. Had pa nang red curry served on roast beef. Definitely not the chicken pa nang red curry I have had at other Thai restaurants. Staff was friendly. The place was empty but we dine early. It was clean and nicely decorated. Thai ice tea was good. Brown rice was whole wheat earthy. My husband had chicken satay that was very rubbery and over cooked. Also somewhat uncomfortable with the server standing in the doorway to the kitchen watching our every move. read more

Love this place! Food is always crazy delicious and the service is fabulous. A true hidden gem.

Service was great! The place was super cute for date night. Everything was delicious. The soup was tangy and savory. We got the pad kee mow and pad see eew. Honestly some of the best Thai we've had! Can't wait to come back read more

BEST FRIED RICE EVER! We came for a weekday lunch and ordered the Pad See Ew (best I've ever had) and the Thai BBQ Ribs. We couldn't stop eating the fried rice, it had such amazing flavor. I typically drown my rice in soy sauce and this dish didn't need any at all. Really pleasant atmosphere inside, attentive staff, and very kind owner/chef Joyce. We were even offered moist towelettes after eating the ribs, as well as iced tea/thai iced tea directly from the owner. Such a lovely surprise from this new restaurant. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be back! read more
