    Pad Thai
    Gabriella D.

    Good Thai cuisine with good menu variety and timely service. The Pad Thai is super flavorful. Part of a nice food truck park with plenty of cuisine options to satisfy everyone and lots of outdoor seating. Overall, would recommend.

    Thai Mee Up Food Truck

    Thai Mee Up food truck is always our first stop! We always grab lunch before hitting Costco for essentials. I've tried several of the different trucks in the ara but they are one of my favorites! A couple of my go to orders are: Panang Curry - Sweet with a touch of heat! Coconut curry is simmered with fresh vegetables. Get it with chicken or tofu. Served in a bowl over jasmine rice. Lemongrass Fried Chicken - Marinated in a variety of fresh herbs and spices. Dusted in flower and deep fried until golden brown, it is served with jasmine rice, cucumber salad and homemade sweet chili dipping sauce.

    Drunken noodle

    After watching lots of food reviews on YouTube, Thai mee up was a must visit on my list. It's right by the airport so we stopped by with a huge appetite. We ordered the drunken noodle and it just looked.. really sad. Whatever this is was not drunken noodle, the noodles were still white and there was no depth in flavor. If you've had drunken noodle before, it has a smoky and deep flavor from the wok and soy sauce + some spice but this was just noodles with a LOT of garlic. This was probably one of the worst Thai dishes I've had. I think if it wasn't categorized as Thai food, it would be pretty good but I can't call this Thai food.

    Such great curry and delicious lemon grass chicken. Service was quick and delicious, my family and I enjoyed it all.

    Cashew Chicken
    Michelle B.

    I always call in an order for myself and usually takes about 15 minutes and it was about that long once I ordered and got there in 5 minutes and paid for it. Cashew Chicken is usually my go to and it always comes in a savory sauce and a bountiful amount of yummy vegetables like onions, broccoli and stems, carrots, green onion, cabbage, zucchini and garlic over Jasmine Rice. The sauce is so yummy and is in most if not all their dishes. I'd recommend trying the Pad Thai, Fried Rice with Shrimp and their Lemongrass Chicken is popular too! Priced very reasonably. Add a refreshing Thai Iced Tea too!

    We went straight there from the airport. The lady who took our order was very nice. Unfortunately, they did not have sodas, just juices and water. I ordered Pad Thai and hubby got the crispy shrimp. They were both good. Hubby wanted more rice. He must have been very hungry after the long flight. The area to sit down was clean and quiet. Very relaxing. Aloha!

    One of my favorite food trucks. Food is tasty and price is reasonable. Portions are good and plenty. Service is friendly and fast. Food truck is located across Costco in Kahului. There are lots of tables to sit and enjoy of take to go. Definitely recommend to try any of their dishes on the menu.

    Our last meal before leaving Maui. We didn't get to try Mama's fish house so I heard the ex sous chef opened his own food truck, so I had to try! I got the pad thai and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet like most are. Really good Thai food! Cheaper alternative to Mama's Fish House!

    Stopped at Thai Me Up right after landing in Maui and grabbing our rental car--thanks to a few YouTube vloggers who raved about it--and I'm so glad we did. Tucked inside the food truck park, this place absolutely lives up to the hype. The food was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The papaya salad, even as a side, completely stole the show--fresh, bright, and full of just the right balance of tang and spice. The tuna with garlic roasted veggies was incredible, everything cooked and seasoned to perfection. We also tried the cashew tofu, which was simple, fresh, and satisfying without being overly complicated--just great ingredients prepared really well.

    I thought this place was ok for a food truck. I was hoping it was better based on reviews but was disappointed. The chicken was salty and the pad see ew wasn't as flavorful.

    Drunk Noodle (I added chili to one side)
    Rachael K.

    Thai Mee Up was one of the most recommended food trucks (near Costco) that was recommended to me. I can see why this business has a following, but I was hoping for a little more on terms of their food. The service was friendly and good! The food was packed with care, and the staff was smiley. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp (+$1), which brought my total to just under $19. A bit pricey but the price range is average for foods trucks. Also, Thai food tends to cost more, I've seen--food truck or not. I received 5 delicious, plump pieces of shrimp so the $1 was worth it. The noodles and veggies, on the other hand, lacked the kick and flavor I was wanting. The dish tasted like it was half-heartedly stir-fried in oil and dressed in a sweet chili oil. I did not really taste of any spice or shoyu (not umami in flavor). The portion was fair but smaller than expected. Overall, I would be open to trying other dishes that they're maybe more known for like their pad Thai to reevaluate my eating!

    green tofu curry
    Angelica L.

    thai mee up is a safe option in the sea of food trucks at south maui gardens. my friends and i wanted to check out south maui gardens, so i decided to get thai food as my vegan dinner. i got the green tofu curry, and was a little underwhelmed by it. the color was not as green as i hoped and taste was okay! still, curry and rice were warm and freshly made. we went during a really busy time and had to wait a little bit, but that was expected. we were able to find a table and sit down while we waited! i hope to order a noodle dish the next time i come.

    The best Thai I've ever had in my entire life! Wish they'd come up North haha! My favorites are the curries and the drunken noodles.

    Always a go-to for me. When friends are in town, we always make the rounds and this is on our short list. Panang Curry is money.

    We've owned a home in Kihei since 2015, and yet, had never been to Thai Bistro. So, today, we…read morefinally realized maybe we should give it a try? The lunchtime meal was *amazing*! I had Thai-Railway Fried Rice, which has diced, cooked NY steak chunks, in a bed of brown rice, as well as peas, carrots, scallions, Maui onions (yum!), with an egg over easy on top, with toasted onions. I dialed the spicyness at "medium". It was *perfect*! My wife had Pad Thai with chicken, and she left it at the default spicyness (medium), which ended up being too hot for her, but she soldiered on nevertheless enjoying the wonderful flavor. Perhaps because of the noodles and curry, the spiciness of the Pad Thai seemed much stronger than the Thai-Railway fried rice dish. Of course, we had leftovers and I'll probably end up eating hers, and she'll eat mine. The service was prompt, and the girl waiting on the tables was courteous, with a beautiful smile. The restaurant is deceptively roomy, seeming to be smaller from the outside, but once inside, it was quiet, clean, with comfortable chairs, clean tables, and large windows to enjoy some of Kihei's views (like today's gentle rain). As with most things these day on Maui, where everything comes in a shipping container, food costs are very noticable. Our meal, including thai ice tea and a soda, with a coconut ice-cream to finish it was about $44/person. Not cheap, but also not as bad as, say, Tommy Bahamas.

Frank B has dined & approved of this Thai Food truck in Kihei due to orgazmic dining experience served up in a bowl. YES folks I LOVE Thai Mee Up's culinary delights so much I've stopped counting I make my way to the truck. First off the truck itself looks clean & regal especially with the giant elephant located on the roof. It looks clean , smells clean and with the giant plasma TV's show you what's about to be served you'll feel safe about your choices. Simple order process and then after 10 mins your order is called out and ready for pick. Every dish I've dined on has its own taste signature and is rapturous to the body.. My top food choices is Garlic Shrimp ,Pad Thai with Shrimp and Ribeye & Lobster. Needless to say all items are sensational for the tastes buds and the costs are extremity priced out well for your budget. Come on and try a BIG BUDGET TASTE for a low budget cost.. I'm sure you'll agree with FRANK THIS OLACE IS GREAT !

    Quite a long wait time here on a Saturday evening, so I highly recommend being ready for it!…read more We were on a trip to Maui and husband really wanted some Thai food so we were pleasantly surprised to have gotten a good option here! They were only taking to go orders because we came in quite late and they seem to be very loaded with orders even that late into the night! They actually missed our order because we went there a good 30 minutes later and still didn't receive our food. So they were kind enough to give us a beverage on the house and rushed our order as well. They were also very apologetic for making his weird this long so we appreciate it. Overall, that pad Thai was delicious! Husband is a pad Thai connoisseur and he approved. Quite a big portion size too.
