| - I have to start out with saying my standard for Thai restaurants was set while I lived in Hawaii, and Pittsburgh Thai restaurants just can't compare. However, I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Thai Me Up.
It is a smaller simple restaurant, but delivers with food and service. We brought a bottle of wine with us, which was immediately opened for us ($3 fee for the BYOB). For an appetizer, we shared an order of steamed dumplings. Very good, and the dipping sauce complimented them nicely. As for an entree, I went with the Z-U noodles (called pad see ew or sober noodles in other Thai restaurants I've been to). The dish was cooked very well, but I wish it would have been spicier. I enjoy spice, but was a little tentative since all Thai restaurants are a little different. The spice scale here is on a scale of 1 to 10 (I'm used to mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot). I went with a 5 thinking it would be comparable to hot, however should have ordered a 7 or 8. The server nicely brought out extra spice in case I needed to make it hotter.
We had a great meal and will definitely return.
