Ok, hold the press's or social media posts cause if your not eating at this food truck your missing out. 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 ! read more

This food truck is located in one of the two Costco food truck areas, which are within walking distance from each other but not super close so it's easier by car. I had the pad see ew and it was decent, but nothing to write home about. Perhaps I got the wrong dish. I would be willing to come back and try other items next time I'm in town, based on reviews. Maybe the shrimp, crispy pork or pad thai would be more memorable. read more

pad see ew ($17) - im a fan; i like how it's not too saucy nor too oily; the pad see ew i usually get would always be super saucy and oily but this was just right - i like how they gave generous amount of stir fry egg, veggies, and quality shrimp - basic but a staple with good flavors - noodles werent clumpy but a bit on the softer side for my liking fried pork rib ($17) - quality pork and didn't feel fried - i liked the chewy texture and the coated sauce, but flavor was lacking a kick; felt like it needed some sweetness or spice to it - it also came in such big chunks that weren't cut into smaller pieces so we had to break it into smaller pieces by ourselves rating: 4/5 - solid thai food and basic; it was pretty average but great for maui where thai food isn't where it's at - have room for improvements both in terms of flavor and texture but it was already pretty yum - quick service nothing much to note - operated as a food truck, located in this zen buddha garden with a bunch of cute benches and fairy lights dangling but during the day gets so excruciatingly hot we had to evacuate back into our car to calm down IG: @nom.noms.only read more

Thai Mee Up - IG: @nom.noms.only | pad see ew & fried pork ribs - Food Trucks Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Quite a long wait time here on a Saturday evening, so I highly recommend being ready for it! 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. read more

Hands down one of the best Thai food trucks in Maui. Came here twice just to make sure the hype was real--and both times delivered the same top-tier experience. The Pad Kra Pao was exactly what you want: bold, spicy, and packed with flavor. The basil really came through, the chicken was juicy, and that fried egg on top balanced everything together perfectly over the rice. The Pad See Ew with chicken and shrimp was just as impressive--fresh, chewy noodles with that perfect char, balanced sauce, and a solid mix of veggies. Everything tasted super fresh and came out piping hot. Service was quick, friendly, and consistent both days. No misses here--this spot is the real deal. 5/5 read more

The best food truck on the island! The food is always delicious and consistently amazing. We always order the grilled ahi and the drunken noodles with shrimp..both are absolute favorites. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. 10/10, highly recommend! read more

This is found in the South Maui Gardens. My kids and I loved it so much, we ate here twice during our stay. We had Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, the Simple Grill with lobster, and fried rice. The sauce served with the lobster? PHENOMENAL. I could drink that by itself. The kids loved the Pad See Ew. Customer service is super friendly and I thought they were quick in providing orders. read more

Wow - delicious food with something for everyone. My daughter wanted Thai - she ordered Pad See Ewe with tofu and loved it. I was going to order from a different food truck when I noticed they offered a steak and lobster. I decided to order it: delicious. A perfectly cooked and seasoned steak with lobster tail, rice and nicely seasoned vegetables. We both really enjoyed Thai Mee Up food truck. Friendly, sincere service when ordering and getting your food. Good prices, fresh ingredients and wonderfully seasoned food. I look forward to eating here again on my next visit. read more

I best Thai place to n Kīhei road. Located n South Maui Gardens. The place is an outside dining. Loved the ambiance. I got the Massana curry with mad veggies. So divine. The curry was a delicious that I ate the whole dish. The pumpkin veggie on it was so soft. Can taste he sweetness. Get Ahi plate with papaya pickled, Chinese broccoli and rice absolutely recommended. Don't miss it . Self service read more

Got the pad see ew here for lunch. It did not taste like authentic pad see ew. It was still good and had a good portion. I almost finished the whole thing. It was just more of a soy sauce flavor than anything. Traditionally there is an oyster sauce/ sugar flavor but I couldn't taste that. The service was good and pretty quick. My son got the Panang curry and really enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to try it. There is lots of shaded seating nearby. read more

We stopped by the Kihei location and the we ordered the Panang Red Curry with Chicken for myself and my wife had the Pad Thai with Shrimp. The dishes here are probably among the best Thai food we have had. It was piping hot and the Red Curry had a little heat, while the Pad Thai was mild, but a hit of heat near the end. Thai Mee Up was the busiest of all the food trucks here and it was obvious that their food was of a high quality. Very friendly service and they were handing out samples of a number of their grilled specialties. We will make this one of our go-to to places here! read more

Driving around trying to find a spot in a place you are new to and stumbled upon this gem! And I kid you not their food is restaurant level! Like OMG! My wife and I came here like 3 times in 5 days! We couldn't get enough! For a food truck they are definitely worth every penny! There are 2 locations we went to for them and both did not disappoint! They have tables out so you can sit and eat or else get it to go! We loved their food! We got the chicken fried rice and chicken pad Thai and both were delicious! We got the same thing every time! They do have a catchy name! We loved their food! Will definitely be back when we come back to visit Hawaii! read more

This place was amazing! I've had my eye on it for a few trips now and after many recommendations, and my love for Thai food, decided to finally give it a try. I wish I hadn't waited so long because it was SO GOOD. I ordered the green curry with shrimp and it was so packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. The Thai iced tea was also really good. My mom ordered the drunken noodles which were also excellent. They had their truck all decorated for Christmas which was really cute as well. The workers were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend, it's a must! read more

This is on a really nice neighborhood and a complex where there are plenty of food trucks with multiple options for you to choose à la cart and feast with your friends and family. There's a nice sit out area where you all can sit, but there is plenty of parking issues you need to find what before you get there . Coming back to the food here the food taste is delicious. It is amazing taste but the quantity was kid size. Literally kids can have this entire meal for the price I paid. If a person can spend 25 to 24 bucks for an entrée at least they don't want to go empty stomach or half stomach. If they can work on that that's great. The service was not too bad. It took us 20 minutes after we paid the bill to get the food. read more

Not sure where to even start. I've heard so many good things about Thai mee up that we had to come!! We ordered the chicken and shrimp pad Thai and could not get enough! It was delicious! We would have ordered more food if we had room in our belly! 10/10! read more

Finished my trip to Hawaii Thai food for dinner. This food truck in the food oasis was definitely one of my favorite. The counter area was clean, the seating was plentiful, and the lady at the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was served fairly quick 5/5. I orders Drunken noodles (not pictured), Pas See Ew with shrimp, and the fried BBQ pork ribs. The tea was lovely, and has somewhat of a smokey aroma and flavor to it, met with that delightful sweet cream, 5/5! The BBQ pork was by far my favorite dish, it was juicy, well marinated, and didn't have an absurd amount of fat, definitely a 5/5. The noodles (drunken and pad) were slightly lacking. The noodles were cooked too long so the texture was a bit gummy, and the drunk noodles had zero spiciness even though the menu called them spicy. The fresh veggies in it was good, and the shrimp was awesome, but the basil was flavorless and didn't have the punch I expected from them, for this reason both noodle dishes get a 3.5/5. Overall, I give this food truck a 4.4/5 read more

I tried the Panang Curry and it was outstanding. The curry was creamy with a perfect balance of savory and sweet from the coconut milk. The chicken was tender and paired beautifully with a colorful medley of red bell pepper, onions, zucchini, and broccoli that gave the dish a nice freshness and balance. The jasmine rice was perfectly cooked and complemented the curry sauce so well. To top it all off, the Thai tea was hands down the best I've ever had--rich, smooth, and refreshing. Highly recommend this spot for authentic, delicious Thai food! Parking can be a little limited directly in front of the food truck oasis, but don't let that discourage you. There's usually plenty of street parking available just down Alahele Pl, making it easy to stop by and grab a meal. read more

We went looking for a lunch spot. I decided to go with drunken noodle with shrimp. The food was fresh and delicious. The seasoning was perfection. Found a shady area to sit in and enjoyed the food. The service was great and food was served quickly. I enjoyed every bite! I simply wish the portion was a tiny bit bigger for $18, I feel like I should have had more than 5 shrimps. The meal is served on some fresh cabbage which gives a nice crunch but the actual food portion is a bit small. read more

Thai Mee Up - Drunken noodle with shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Really solid Thai food (in the South Maui Gardens) for a reasonable price! The drunken noodles were my favorite with a nice wok-seared flavor. The fried pork ribs dish isn't the most traditional Thai sounding, but it's unique and definitely reminds me of like a hybrid BBQ/salt and pepper style pork chop. The lemongrass chicken was a bit basic, but didn't lack in lemongrass flavor and I did enjoy the sweet chili sauce honestly. They are very popular at dinner time, but the wait time wasn't bad. Service was very friendly; they even unexpectedly gave me a complimentary Thai tea since they had to take extra time to re-do a dish they prepped wrong. read more

Delicious food truck in the lovely south maui gardens! Free samples?! Yes please! Awesome service, huge portions, delicious food.

I don't know why this place has such great reviews. The pad see ew was super bland and it was missing flavor and sauce. We had to put a ton of soy sauce and even then, it just tasted salty. The noodles were also dry. We have eaten a ton of pad see ew in our lifetime and this one is by far one of the worst. The portion was also ridiculously tiny. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 is because their Thai ice tea is actually really good and spot on. It has the perfect mix of tea and condensed milk. read more

Absolutely amazing! Friendly staff, adorable food truck, clear menu, quick service, and delicious food. I opted for the Pad Thai w/ Chicken and Tofu which was reasonably priced and portioned. So glad I picked this spot among all of the options! Highly recommend! read more

Very good thai food coming from this truck. It's actually more like a giant kitchen on wheels that never moves. There are many options around this food truck park but this one seems to be most popular. They offered free samples, which we tried, but decided to do the full walk around just to see what else was available. We eventually made our way back to Thai Mee Up and gave it a try and was not disappointed. Ordered the Penang Curry and Pad See Ew and it tasted very good. The food was piping hot (cooked to order) and you don't have to bring it very far to enjoy it as bench tables are abundant here. Grab a seat by the music entertainers, if scheduled, for a relaxing time. read more

Am I the only one that was skimped out on chicken??!?!? I waited about 35 minutes for this place to open up at 11am, I ordered a massaman that comes with chicken, potatoes, cashews, my pieces of cashew were bigger than my pieces of chicken, this is a rip off to find 5 tiny pieces of chicken, I am not usually one to leave a bad review, $17 for that, I can't believe it, that was very disappointing for someone that lives here locally read more

My family came to the south maui gardens as everyone does. We had the pad see ewe and the thai iced tea. The food is above average and some decent wok hei flavor. The one thing I found strange was the noodles were large squares which are kind of hard to eat. Stick to the ribbons like everyone else. The staff was helpful in balancing out the thai iced tea for us. Definitely one of the stalls you should check out while in South Maui Gardens. read more

Okkkk now... This food truck is located inside the South Maui Gardens way in the back.

IMHO While walking through South Maui Gardens, we came upon food truck heaven! There must be about 10 food trucks situated there with many delicious optons to choose from. We had eaten at Thai Mee Up years before at their airport food trucks location and remembered the epic food. As we checked out the other food truck offerings, it certainly didn't hurt that Thai Mee Up was screaming "free samples!!!" with an extended arm out of the window with their Lemongrass Chicken! Yep, that made my choice easy! My husband and I shared the crispy, flavorful chicken dish. The portion size was enough to feed us both! It's a great go-to dish, but next time I want to try many of their other offerings as well. While we were eating, we noticed roaming chickens dining on some spilled lemongrass chicken, and they were scarfing it down! I joked that they were carnivores eating themselves! LOL read more

Thai Mee Up - Pad See Ew w/ Shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I remember really liking Thai Mee Up, the last time we were in Maui. This time was incredibly disappointing. We picked up two vegetarian drunken noodles on the way to the airport. The ordering over the phone was easy (unlike many other trucks, they pick up the phone!). The food though completely lacked flavor. We had eaten at Nutcharee just a few days earlier and regularly eat Thai food in the Bay Area. This one was the most bland and tasteless edition of Drunken Noodles I've eaten. read more

Thai Mee Up came heavily recommended by various people around the island as one of the best food trucks there is. The girl taking are order was really helpful and nice when it came to making up our minds on what to order and the guy giving out the food was also super cool. There is multiple seating tables around the trucks in this area so you should be able to find somewhere to eat but during peak times it could get hard. It did not disappoint at all as it honestly is one of the best Thai spots I've ever eaten at in my life. My wife ordered the Pad Thai with chicken which was really good and I had some fried rice which was also very delicious. Thai Mee Up is a MUST in Maui read more

I frequent both locations and they are always consistently good. Most of the time I get the Penang curry, but their drunken noodle is very good. All the other curries are good. Every time I bring a visitor here they always enjoy whatever they order. When I'm in Kihei I go to Nutcharee but if I'm upcountry or near Costco, I go to Thai Mee Up. read more

This place was awesome! We got a little addicted to the food carts and picked this one a couple times. The service was excellent and fast! The video display they had showing all the food options was brilliant. That's what sucked us in. One of the best dishes we had was their fried rice. It was absolutely delicious and very filling. Highly recommend! They also have lots of picnic tables out front if you were hoping to sit close to their delicious smells. read more
