    Rice.

    Worst Thai restaurant in Burien. I ordered Coconut shrimp and chicken Pud Thai. And 1 Iced coffee. I placed the order inside their restaurant thru their computer. The kid who brought the pud thai said they were out of shrimp. No silverware was brought over. I had to ask for it. The $2.50 i paid for white rice was never delivered. I asked for it and when it came it looked like it was scraped off the floor. Photo included. It's only my opinion, but like I said, worst Thai restaurant in Burien. Borderline gross.

    Crispy Garlic Chicken so good and the stawberry milk is so goooddd 10/10

    Foood was so gooood I just straight up inhaled it 100/10 and its family owned nothing better then supporting family owned places !' I recommend I got the garlic chicken and it's nice you can pick your spice level I got I think level 3 . Super delicious and doesn't feel too fatty as in oily love it here will be coming back and not to mention my food came out fast and the strawberry milk Thai was delicious !!!

    service was impressively quick and the pad see ew was definitely made fresh and soft - i had the tofu and maybe that's what made it have a little less flavor than i would want so i would recommend getting it spicy for a larger flavor palette

    Garlic Broccoli

    The Tom Yum was very flavorful, but some of the chicken was dried up, and the cook who prepared it came right into the kitchen to the back where you can see, took off his jacket and went straight to the kitchen, put on gloves and began preparing orders. The gloves do no good if you don't wash your hands first! The establishment is rated "Okay" by the Kc Health Dept., the 2nd lowest rating before it could be closed down! Yet it is very popular and a very busy place, orders being phoned in & picked up like crazy! The majority orders are phoned in & picked up, so those customers don't see the behaviors. The order-taker-cashier-server kept touching her nose & hair and she was sneezing & nervous. I politely requested she wash her hands, which she did. I paid an extra $2.50 because my food did not come with the rice. I purchased to go. When I got home, the rice was cumpy and scorched, apparently coming from the bottom of the rice cooker, and mixed with dried out portions of rice. I've had better from there before! I spent more than $35 for my food altogether. Images are after servings were taken from the containers.

    inconsistent fast casual counter thai spot next to 7-11. sometimes it was delicious, sometimes it was gross, all times it's not very friendly and welcoming but all times it's fast. conclusion: there's better options. side note: why my mango sticky rice always have odd color hue of random colors ?

    This was my first time trying Thai-U-Up and we ordered through Door Dash for delivery. We ordered the Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew. From my first visual impressions upon receiving and opening the containers, the food looked good, but the containers made it seem like there wasn't that much food. Of course after actually indulging the food, I found out it was plenty and quite filling. We ended up having to save some to eat later because we would have probably had a food coma after eating it all. My only complaint is the food tasted a bit sweeter than what I am normally use to tasting when comparing it to other Thai restaurants.

    I ordered 6 dishes (only 4 shown in photo) for my friend's baby shower. I worked with Ao who's the owner. She was great to work with! The food arrived hot and nicely plated. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous! They delivered it to my friend's home which was also in Burien and because of the close proximity, they waived the delivery fee. On top of that, Ao sent a complimentary large tray of fried rice. So kind!! Every dish we ordered was so flavorful, nicely spiced and the meats were so tender! I highly recommend Thai-U-Up!!! Absolutely delicious Thai food and Ao and her team are just the nicest people to work with. We hope to visit their restaurant someday soon.

    Food was great. Service was a little lacking. Plus you order off a tablet and it was a little confusing.

    Tom yom is so bad. The soup is too salty and the beef is too tough. It's too expensive at $20.

    Having traveled around Thailand, we judge American Thai restaurants by their Thai omelette. If that…read moreis great, everything else usually is also authentic and amazing. Note that most American Thai restaurants don't even make a Thai omelette...so enough said. Krungthep Thai omelette is amazing - just enough crab and delightfully puffy and flaky. So amazing! As are all of their other dishes! We've had them all and usually get the crispy garlic chicken (you can add more chicken to the order when ordering), the crab omelet (with more crab, yum!), eggplant sautéed, one of the noodle dishes (they are all great!), one of the veggie dishes (all great!), and sometimes a soup (all super delicious!), curry, or salad. Every dish is excellent, and they make a sufficient variety that it is always interesting! If Pad Thai is your thing, Krunthep makes is very, very well! We don't always get the Pad Thai because the other noodle dishes are exceptional, like the Pad Se Ew, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Woon-sen, and Rad-Nah. If you haven't branched out from the popular Pad Thai, Krungthep is the place to explore. They have their own online ordering https://krungthepthai.com/menu that is super easy, and allows for additions and spice/heat level, as is just calling, and the staff are always super friendly. The Burien location now focuses on takeout (and they are always hopping busy, so you know this community knows they are fabulous ... and with so much turn over you know the food is fresh and amazing!). If you prefer sit-down, Krungthep has a nice dining room by the Normandy Park QFC. Go order now! Enjoy!!!!

    I have been ordering from this restaurant many times over the past years…read more Flavor wise, it's quite well seasoned and fairly authentic. Portion is decent as well for the price. They have been doing take-outs only since as long as i can remember (as far as 2023). However, their seasoning is very unpredictable. One time I ordered Mild for Pad Kee Mao, and it tasted super hot. One time I ordered hot, it tasted like mild/not spicy. Sometimes they tasted how they should be. Crispy garlic chicken with the sauce savory/sweet which is very appetizing. Some of them were coated well, some barely had any coated so they are just like fried chicken without sauce coating.

    Good location, right off International Blvd, parking? Hmm... Ok, got a spot up close. Monday night…read moreso I wasn't expecting allot but 4 starts said to me it was worth a try. Very nice interior, well kept, clean, Thai themed. Sat in both, waitress brought menus. Came back and we order two Thai Ice Teas. We ordered two dinner courses, A Chicken dish with Thai Basi for my wife level 1 spice, their lowest. and I had a curry beef dish with potatoes, rice for each was extra. I ordered mine Level 2, which was I was told was medium out of 5. Mine was flavorful and tasty. The meat was adequate and the portion with rice was bigger than it looked. Level 2, was my Level 1, my wife was just a little spicy that zero, maybe .75? If I returned, I would go Level 3 minimum maybe 3.5?. My wife's chicken was ground chicken and had very few veggies. Maybe that was the style for the dish, but my wife didn't like the texture, and the lack of veggies was not appetizing. We waited a good 25 minutes for food to arrive. No other customers in the place. We didn't get our Thai tea until dinner arrived. I would try again, but my wife says no way. Too bad, had high hopes.

    I had a real craving for Chinese food today, I'm really glad I didn't go the generic Panda Express…read moreroute! I was pleasantly surprised by the service and attentiveness of their host. I ordered the the egg drop soup for my appetizer and the chef's special egg fu yong for my entree with a to-go order for beef n broccoli. I'm pleased with the egg drop soup because it came hot and fairly bland so I could add salt to my satisfaction. The egg foo yong...next time I'll pick a protein instead of all three (beef, chicken, pork.) The texture was great, it was hot and definitely presentable. I just couldn't nail down a specific palette that it hit...even with salt it wasn't enough to capture an exact flavor, it was ok, like I said, next time I'll pick a protein, lol! Beef n broccoli was, hands down the best dish!! No disappointment, no off taste, no need for salt at all!! I'll must definitely be back!!

I ordered 2, the bbq pork fried rice and sweet and sour chicken, since I couldn't decide and with tax both were under $25. The portions are large and come with a soup or soda to go. My food was hot and fresh and was ready immediately once I arrived. Lunch special pricing is M-F until 3 pm I believe. I will definitely be back! I appreciate this small business and the friendliness of the man working. I will be recommending to my friends who live closer to Burien too!
