    Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai
    Clifton E.

    Gluten free Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai, knocked out of the park. Just food that is spot on!

    Chloe B.

    My husband was craving pad Thai. We found this food truck while we were in the area. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The Pad Thai was okay not the best. Appreciated they had the word vegan on the menu. The tofu cashew dish was tasty. Price point was medium. Recommend if you're in the area and want some Thai.

    Ribs, then garlic chicken then chicken fried rice

    Super tasty Thai food truck. Fast service and spot on full of flavor. Really yummy garlic shrimp, also had the ribs as well as the chicken fried rice. All packed with flavor

    Best panang curry of my LIFEEEEEEE. If you want Thai this is 100% the place to go. Also adored: Cashew chicken, pad thai, lemongrass chicken. In reality, everything is fabulous :)

    This place was awesome!! It was, by far, the best pad Thai I had on the island! My husband had the Penang curry and it was SO good as well. Their prices were also the most affordable we had on our trip to Maui! If that wasn't enough, the atmosphere of their location, with an outside garden experience only added to the charm of this place. The staff were friendly and had samples they were offering guests. Did I say the food was amazing?!! We had eaten at Star Noodle in Lahaina just the night before, paid more than double what we paid here and we left underwhelmed and disappointed. I am so glad we took the suggestion from one of the you tubers to try Thai Mee Up... it was one of our favorite eats during our entire week in Maui!!

    Fresh garlic mahi and papaya salad with jasmine rice.

    One of the staples of enjoying fresh local fish at reasonable prices. Thai Mee up always offer great Thai cuisine with such authentic savory flavors to delight your palette and scent. They now offer a frequent buyer plan to earn points towards future purchases. Also notice a few of their noodles have meat optional for another $2. However, they also need to make a decent living while prices everywhere goes up. We had the fresh garlic mahi with rice and the green papaya sweet spicy salad. It was scrumptious and the aroma was ultra pleasant!

    Green Curry with veggies
    Val S.

    Good food truck food for a good price. The Green Curry was very mild, but tasty. Make sure to bring some time during peak lunch or dinner hours. It can be tough to secure one of the few shady spots to eat. Friendly and kind staff.

    Excellent customer service by their sweet attendant. We ordered the Penang Curry with tofu and came with a side of Jazmin rice. The curry was delicious with lots of ginger and a red peppers. The food truck was conveniently located inside a food truck park, plenty of parking nearby. There are a lot of chickens walking around in the area so watch out!

    Penang Curry
    David R.

    The parang curry was so so good. Really good mix of spices and just enough chile to wake up your taste buds but not to "hot".

    Lemongrass Chicken.

    Lemongrass Chicken. Good but portion size is ridiculous, enough for a kid. Only couple good meaty pieces and the rest are batter scraps.

    Pad Thai with big chin is of egg, hardly any chicken or noodles. Total Rip off!

    The older lady taking orders has lost our order three times... the last time she lost our order we waited 45-50 minutes of waiting... everyone who ordered after us got their orders and no one was left. When she called us the food was cold... and proportions were terrible. Globs of egg in the PadThai and hardly any noodles. Not an I'm sorry to keep you waiting... nothing.... We tipped them $10.00 to boot.

    We eat here a lot and have noticed declining quality. Last night was not cool, though. I ordered Pad thai with chicken, which I've had many times from here. It was about 98% noodles, about 5 small bits of chicken, literally 1 shred of carrot, about 5 bean sprouts, some cilantro bits, a little egg, and that's about it. I was quite disappointed as other times there is a lot more to pad thai than just noodles. It used to be quite good, so I'm not sure what is happening there, but at this time it feels like it's not worth the money for what they are serving.

    To spend an evening in Makawao these days, you have to head out of Kihei long before rush hour or you'll be stuck in Piilani highway traffic for ever, due to extra cars detouring from the washed out South Kihei Road. So, the plan was to leave the roost in mid-afternoon and check out the food truck park next to Longs in upcountry. If you haven't been there, it's not the easiest place to locate, but the Waze app will get you to Longs Drug and you can't miss it. The food truck park was larger than we expected. Lots of good choices, but Thai Mee Up was an easy choice. The girl taking our order was very pleasant and helpful, answering our questions about menu items. I got the Lemongrass Fried Chicken and it was ready in a few minutes because there wasn't much of a crowd. There are a few picnic tables inside the ring of food trucks and again, we were fortunate that there wasn't a crowd and we could sit. The entre came with a small cup of Green Papaya Salad that was very tasty with a little crunch and a sweet & sour dressing. The Lemongrass Chicken was good, with small pieces of chicken battered and fried, on a bed of rice. It came with a tiny cup of a great, sweet & tangy sauce that really wasn't enough for dipping all of the chicken pieces, let alone flavoring the rice. Didn't really get enough lemongrass flavor, either. Nice to have a square of banana leaf under the rice that prevented the rice from sticking to the compostable food box. I would like to order this dish again, but only if they give me more of the sauce.

    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.

    We ordered 3 dishes and had leftovers to enjoy again. We ordered Macadamia nut panang Curry (I love…read morecurry anytime..), Drunken noodles (Pad Ki Mao) and Thai-railway fried rice (recommended by server). All dishes were delicious, full of flavour in every bite. Our whole family enjoyed every dish. The portions are good size and the prices were ok! The servers kept to themselves. Once you get your food, they only show up with your bill and ask you how the meal was. When you view your bill, you are automatically charged 18% tip for the meal, which was a little bit of a turn off considering the service you were getting is very little.

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 !

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.
