I love me some Thai food, and Thai'd Up does it right! The restaurant is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend avoiding the lunch rush if you can. I stopped in on a Saturday after 2 p.m. and was seated and served right away. The service was great, and everything we ordered was delicious. I especially enjoyed the roti, drunken noodles, and pad Thai. We went with level 2 spice, which was the perfect amount of heat. It was enough to add a kick without overpowering the flavors or blowing out your palate. Definitely a spot I'd visit again! Prob some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. read more

Overall, everything we had was pretty solid. The spring rolls came packed with assorted veggies wrapped in rice paper, and the sweet red chili sauce on the side made them even better. The drunken noodles were super flavorful on their own, and they definitely weren't kidding about the spice level. We ordered level 4 spicy and they actually added real Thai chilies into the noodles. But the real star of the meal was the dessert. The sticky rice was sweet, soft, and warm, and the coconut milk on the side made it good enough to eat by itself. Pairing it with the ube ice cream just took it to another level -- the mix of warm and cold together was so good. I've never had sticky rice with ube ice cream before, but honestly it might be something I start ordering from now on. Our server was really nice and patient, especially since it took me awhile to decide what I wanted to order. I also didn't go during rush hour, so the service was quick and smooth. The place itself is on the smaller side, but it's perfect if you're on the go and need a quick bite for lunch or dinner. read more

Great portions and affordable prices compared to CA! It was so good that we almost came back for a second visit. The spice level is true to their scale too, so pick wisely lol Service is prompt and food came out piping hot which was nice to have it fresh. Honestly, I had low expectations given that Asian cuisine isn't really maintream in New Orleans, but to my surprise, everything was bursting with flavor! Some dishes better than ones we've had back home in the Bay. Parking can be difficult as it is on a main busy street. There's a lot of people outside because there's a neighboring bar. Didn't get to try their dessert because they didn't have mango. I'd definitely recommend this spot especially if you're looking for something different. read more

The spice level was ordered as a 2 on the 0-5 scale. It was a little too hot to enjoy the Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodles. The appetizer of vegetarian fried egg rolls. Service was good and attentive. Checked with us frequently. Probably will try again with 0-1 for us. Small restaurant and parking is hard even though we got there at 5:20 PM. read more

I visited here for the first time for dinner about a week ago. We were able to find nearby free street parking. This restaurant reminds me of a hole in the wall spot that you could easily overlook but would really miss out if you did. There very limited seating. All of the staff that we interacted with were helpful. I like the chill comfortable vibe. I ordered the Thai green tea, Thais fresh rolls, shrimp tom yum soup, papaya salad and the mango with sweet sticky rice. I enjoyed everything that I ordered. Overall I had a good experience here and I would return. read more

Love this place! I found it a while ago and think their Red curry might be one of the best in New Orleans. This time we also got the grilled shrimp! It was super fresh and tasty, but the portion size was small for the $16 we paid. We paid $38 total. The food is so flavorful and the mango sticky rice is fire. The restaurant is very small and has only 4 tables max so be prepared if you have a big group to call ahead or see if they can accommodate something. 10/10 recommend! read more

So glad I finally made it to this Gentilly Gem! From the time I walked in and was greeted with a hug from the host Tommy, I knew that this would be my new spot. My friend has been talking about how good this spot is for so long that I'm glad I finally got to try it. Everything was beyond just good food, this place was just the vibe I needed. Since my friend is a regular there, I trusted her to order for us. We started with the roti bread and crab rangoons. Both were delicious but I especially like the dipping sauce that came with the roti. Then we had the crab fried rice, they did not skim on the crab. This dish was so flavorful and full of crab meat. We also had the special, which was pumpkin curry, I was nervous to try this because I'm not big on pumpkin flavor but whatever they did with this curry made me a believer in pumpkin. It was simply delicious, I'm pretty sure this is seasonal so if you haven't tried it yet, please do so soon! For dessert we had strawberry sticky rice, yes you read that right! When mangos aren't in season Thai'd Up still offers that sticky rice dessert we love, just with a twist. The cook surprised us with Thai beignets, it was my first time trying them and I was thoroughly impressed. They were flaky, crispy, and fried to perfection. The owners Kate and Ryan came out to ask us how the food was, they were so down to earth. Kate told me how she got her start in the kitchen, and I was truly amazed by her story. The food was so delicious I though she grew up in the kitchen, but she's only been cooking for 4 years! They were so nice and by the end of the night we were all taking shots (from the next-door bar jockey's) together. This place is truly special, its more than just great food...this place feels like home/family. read more

This small family owned Thai restaurant is close to the fairgrounds in Gentilly. Ive gone there multiple times and they're consistent. I have tried and love the drunken noodles, pad woon san, the Thai Wings and the spicy eggplant. I pretty much enjoyed everything Ive tried from there. The prices and portion sizes are great! One note regarding the location is its street parking and they are right next to a bar so it is sometimes difficult to find parking, more so during dinner. I havent had much trouble during lunch. read more

Thai's up is a quaint little restaurant with very few frills a but the food they serve is bold and flavorful. The menu is a bit smaller than other Thai restaurants. For starters we had the coconut shrimp. I ordered the yellow curry (medium spice) with shrimp and a Thai tea. My friend ordered the pad Thai with shrimp. Both were very tasty and super spicy. While the food was pretty good, the service was pretty basic. Nothing special. The menu has standard pricing. read more

Great Thai food that is affordably priced. Small restaurant with a nice little ambiance.

A cute lil spot to catch a vibrant and delicious lunch! I've been on a Thai food kick lately, so I've been exploring some local spots. Thai'd Up definitely won my heart! The food was beautifully presented, as well as fairly priced. The flavors were bold and classic, and every bite was fresh. Our waiter was super helpful, friendly, and delivered our food out to us as soon as it was ready. My whole party was impressed! read more

it was a busy weekend night - I did a pick up- enjoyed the lovely staffperson but I'd say the noodles were maybe 6/7out of 10 - adequate tho kinda plain My friend is a regular and agreed- said it was certainly an off night as they go often (for the same dish we complain about :) read more

I went to Thai'd up for a late Sunday lunch with my family. It's right next to a sports bar and people were congregating outside--prime people watching if you are facing the door. Before we walked in, we were greeted by the neighbors who were sitting on the porch of a nearby house. I love that. It's a small, casual spot where you can seat yourself. It's the dead of summer, so between the in and out of people picking up take out and us sitting away from the wall ac unit, it was a little warm at times. The server was super nice and accommodating. He brought us a baby seat and water without us asking. The walls have plaques with news stories about the restaurant and some awards for best Thai food in the city. The menu had dishes I expected like curries, noodles, and fried rice, but there were some unexpected things like jalapeño poppers, crab Rangoon, and a dessert they called "Thai beignets." We ordered the Thai tea, chicken wings, veggie rolls, 2 orders of drunken noodles, pad see ew, and the Thai beignets. I found the sauce on the chicken to be more sweet than spicy, but it was still good. I appreciated their flexibility; they put the vegetables on the side of the pad see ew because my nephew doesn't like vegetables. We got to select our spice level for each dish; I really liked that because my mom can't handle spicy food, but likes this type of cuisine. I could tell my sister enjoyed the food because she kept asking for bites our drunken noodles. She liked mine more because I went for level 2 spice. My favorite part of the meal was the Thai tea. I drank it every day on my trip to Thailand, so this helped kick the craving! My nephew said it tasted like ice cream. He is picky, so I'm glad that he tried something new after a little coaxing. He also liked the Thai beignets. They were light and airy, but had a crisp to them. It's fried roti topped with powdered sugar and condensed milk. I can't say they have the best Thai food in the city, but the portion size was decent, the food was fresh, and the price was reasonable. I can see myself going back when I'm in the mood for Thai food. I'd like to try some other items. read more

The service was amazing. The waitress was helpful, sweet, and made sure everything was right to my liking. The food was hot and fresh. The steamed vegetables and edamame were not the best because they had no favor, but other than that I loved it all! The ambiance is laidback and intimate which I liked. Also, the portion sizes are huge so they're shareable. I'll definitely be back! read more

Authentic Thai is probably the best description. The Tom Yum had the most distinguishable flavors I have ever had - and I have had my share of Tom Yum across the United States. It is not the cream color I was accustomed to, and a tad sweet... and I would absolutely order it again. The fresh vegetables were clearly cut in house and the broth was perfect. Medium heat was borderline hot, which I like. The pad Thai was as it should be - hearty and familiar, with quality noodles and perfectly cooked shrimp (it's not often a restaurant cooks the shrimp right at its apex without overdoing it). Crushed peanuts and lime to add as one prefers were fresh. The servers were polite and attentive. It is a quaint establishment with a very welcome feel. I will be back. read more

I'll start by saying their prices are very affordable! I was so shocked to see a restaurant that doesn't require an arm/leg as payment, but I was thoroughly pleased at the same time. I started with the roti for an appetizer and it was veryyyy good! One of the best I've had. The accompanying sauce was delicious also, not overly spicy. For the main dish, I had the butter Thai shrimp and added a side of jasmine rice. The shrimp were extremely spicy and very thin -- almost felt paper-like. The rice was super sticky as well which I wasn't a fan of. What's keeping me at the 4-star mark is the exceptional prices and my friends' food being really good! I didn't get pics but they had the spicy fried rice (my favorite) and another had pad Thai. If I'm ever in the area, I'd come back for one of those dishes. read more

I love me some Thai food and Thai'd Up never disappoints. I go to the bar next door quite a bit so it's great to have them there as a food option. They will even deliver it to you in the bar if you want. I enjoy dining in though. I think it's nice and cute and quiet. They always have a great playlist on when I'm in there too. I love a little dining sing-a-long. I love their jalapeño poppers. The heat level is perfect and they have the crab rangoon mix in them. Their calamari is well-battered and well fried. The squid tastes fresh and is juicy under the crunchy exterior. I like both the drunken noodles and the pad thai but I give the pad thai the edge. It's not dry like some places and the flavors are well-balanced. The portion sizes are also good and the price is great! read more

Thai food is one of this city's culinary weaknesses, in my opinion. So this restaurant has been a real godsend. Although they don't deliver, it's worth the trip to dine in. The small space is basic, but the service is warm. I ordered the delicious fresh spring rolls served with two sauces, Italian soup with vegetables, spice level two out of 5. But it really had a kick and made my nose run. So be warned about their spice levels! I got pad see ewe because I was in a sweeter breakfast type of mood, and it was flawless. It's a dish so many Thai restaurants mess up or make kind of flavorless. They got the texture on the flavor spot on here. read more

The food was absolutely amazing--bursting with rich, authentic Thai flavors and spices. We chose a spice level of 2, which had a nice kick, but I'd definitely go higher next time if you're comfortable with heat.

Hey there, running back this time. Tried The Curry with chicken w the rice on the side. All I can say is delicious. Had to go back to the calamari the portion size was bigger this time Definitely an improvement. I must've caught them on a bad day and it was still delicious and those jalapeno crab meat egg rolls definitely a hit with their just a right amount of spice. As far as I'll be asking service still the same. No complaints just a suggestion. I believe if they dim the lights or just turn off the main and just leave on their accent lighting it will be a more intimate setting at night. read more

It's so hard to find good Thai food in the area, I'm always down to try somewhere new (to me). A local store recommended this restaurant and we had to go. The restaurant is small, but there is some shared seating outside as well. Due to the heat and frequent opening/closing of the door it does get pretty warm inside, luckily our water was super cold and left at the table for us to refill as needed. We started with the spring rolls and they were hot, crispy and super tasty. I would order them again, they came as a set of four. For meals we got a basic chicken fried rice which was yummy! It was a large portion but due to it being so good I ate it ALL! We also go a spicy fried rice, again super good and a large portion. We also got a green curry, we weren't asked the spice level on this and honestly it was too spicy. A small portion of rice was served with it but we should have asked for more to help with the spice. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are in love with the heat. We will 100% come back here and enjoyed our visit. read more

I was excited and honored to be the first folks in for lunch today, their first guests ever!! Freshly opened today, July 1, 2022, where Catty Shack Tacos were for the last many years on Gentilly near the Fair Grounds Racetrack. And while I am sad to see Catty Shack go, I LOVE the new Thai Restaurant that now occupies the space next to Jockey's and Toast. If you haven't been into the space before, it has a very petit dining area (6 or 7 tables?). I love the cozy atmosphere they have created, but, just understand that they are better equipped for smaller parties and take-out. We ordered a green papaya salad, a Pad Thai with chicken and Drunken Noodles with chicken. Each dish was delicious and a wonderful example of the flavors I expect when ordering Thai food. Please try them out! read more
