How can I not review the place that bears the same name as my Thai restaurant list?
I remember the first time I visited Thai Me Up. After a long day in the office I didn't really feel like going out out.. but needed some food. I'm usually always craving sushi or Thai. A coworker recommended Thai Me Up as some acceptable takeout and I anxiously called for some Pad Thai.
As soon as I head over to pick it up, it starts pouring. I mean like there was a tornado warning later that night pouring storm. I was half tempted to cancel my order and get delivery but I'm glad I didn't. By the time I arrive it's so bad that in the 40 seconds it took me to run in from across the street I was completely soaked. When I walked in, the establishment was close to empty and everyone stopped and stared at me like an awkward episode of a movie.
But it was so worth it. I'm usually the person that can handle cheap Chinese takeout but likes their Thai a little more upscale. This, however, was a true exception. Perfect heat and it tasted amazing. I've been back nearly every visit to PGH since.
