If you want to know if a place can prepare good Thai food order a dead simple dish and see how they do. This is not a difficult cuisine to master but it does require some care. Thai Me Up failed in every way. “Spicy fried Rice” should be spicy. Trace amounts of chili paste and no fresh or even whole dried chili do not do it, even in Idaho. You might also expect that the rice would be fried (first it is dried out some to crisp) sticky glop is what I was served. Ratios of ingredients matter. but not to their “chef”. My dish was 4 cups rice, 1/2 scallion a few shreds of egg, way too much shredded carrot too much vinigar and no heat at all. The extra tofu was 4 small pieces, not fried for a crispy exterior just tossed in. The wilted cilantro pile and thumbnail sized lime slice did not redeem it. They obviously do not care at all about quality of what they serve. And only $17.

Best Pad Thai in Jackson! Fun atmosphere. Excellent service. And they have cider on tap!

Beer is fine, but food is not great. Burgers very small, fries were soggy and Thai curry not authentic at all. Lighting is horrible, as well, and music is way too loud. Even for a Monday night, it was dead, and I think for good reason. Servers look like they just crawled out of bed.

We were seated immediately at 8:25. We ordered 3 dishes and got our food at 9:20. The restaurant was not crowded. I think the waiter forgot about us. We had to flag someone down just to get our bill. The chicken peices are too large, white meat without flavor. Most Thai restaurants cut the pieces much much smaller.

Drinks were delicious and affordable! Pad Thai was good but left a little to be desired- perhaps more sauce would've made the meal better. Tofu was seared and not fried- again, good, but not great. Only Thai food in town though, and with the friendly staff and extensive menu, it's a great place when you're craving some Thai!

Was excited about this as it is not often that I can eat Thai food while my hubster has a burger! For thai we had pad thai and green curry. both were HUGE portions...and they were a 3 out of 5. Husband and son each had a burger. They served my son a rare burger (it was a kids burger too). I believe things on the kids menu are always supposed to be well done? Our server was lovely. My only issue is that they play Wu-tang for the hour and a half we were there...if you don't know who that is...they have explicit lyrics that I would have preferred for my child to not hear. I mentioned it to the server, and she said that the cooks like it, and that she had tried to get them to change it. There were three other families in the restaurant with children aside from us, and it was 5:30 on a wednesday evening. Seems a bit much....

Fantastic late night menu! We had the curry (red for the night) and fried egg rolls. Both were fantastic. We had a few beers and chatted with the staff. Excellent location, with inside and outside seating.

I don’t see any Thai faces here, so my expectation is not high. Drinks are better than food.Limited menu. Taste good. Pride is also reasonable.

Used to be great, but now just very mediocre. Back in the glory days 10+ years ago their food was delicious, curries, wings with sambal, crispy tofu etc. The last 2 times we went the curries had frozen vegetables and tasted like jar sauce. The cocktails were still decent, but had way too much ice in them. Staff are a bunch of ski bums who couldn't care less about service, just 20%+ tips.

Visited with family and friends, not too crowded in the early evening. Nice selection of local brews and helpful staff. I had basil fried rice with beef, which was spiced well and plentiful. We sat outside. mid-range price (for Jackson)
Fried rice we had tasted really good. We also liked the pad Thai & drunken noodles. The wait time was a bit long though - even though Jackson area seemed pretty empty compared to usual crowd in July long weekend.

We spent one night in Sedona. What a beautiful city!!! We ordered pad thai, coconut tofu w/ Jasmine rice & pineapple fried rice which were in decent portion that can serve 4 adults. Most importantly, their food is freshly prepared & so delicious that we can smell the stirred fry wok (enough heat). The receptionist was very pleasant to take my orders although they were 15 min to close. The best pad thai that we have ever had. I highly recommended.

Really good. No wait on a Friday night, which is rare for Jackson. Service was friendly and fast. Egg rolls were a bit oily, but they were good. The yellow curry and drunken noodles were great. Prices reasonable also! Would definitely come again!!

Surprised this place isn't universally 5 stars?!? It has amazing Thai food and great beer...hard to argue with the combination, especially when you're in Jackson, WY...this place is an absolute gem that would be quality even for a big city.

Super fast service! We started with delicious egg rolls a Thaigarita (too sour) and award winning Imperial stout. We both had the pad Thai, which, as before, were in portions large enough for 2 meals. The waitress noticed that my husband's bowl came without the chicken and brought an entirely new order to add to what we already had at the table.
