What People Are Saying About Thai On Carson

In Short – Although the walls of the boxcar-sized interior are painted a lush burgundy and an island orange, the eight cafeteria-style tables and paper menus stress simplicity. A single waitress rushes around to keep up with orders, yet the budget conscious foodies don't seem to mind. Instead, they dig into appetizers like spicy carrot salad with shrimp and mint beef salad before moving onto a main entree of Thai spaghetti with curry or pineapple-fried rice.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Alcohol is not served on the premises but you can bring your own bottle.
Parking:
You may have to resort to using one of the nearby lots as street parking may be hard to come by.

Absolutely loved Thai Me Up.

The Crab Rangoons and Chicken Lemon Grass soup are soooo amazing. I wish I could eat there everyday!!

Not recommended

by foodiegirl08 at Citysearch

I was very underwhelmed by my meal. It was very bland and greasy. I had the pad thai which basically consisted of tastless noodles, grease, and a few funky tasting shrimp. It was like a watered down version of real thai for people who don't like flavor. I would not go again.

delish

You use the word pretentious to describe others, that I assume you are attempting to disassociate yourself from, yet you used the word delish.

Great South Side Secret

by yinzergurl at Citysearch

The lemongrass soup is WONDERFUL. Since most of the restaurants popping up all over Carson St. seem to be full of pretentious people eating pretentious food, I am thankful for places like Thai Me Up. In addition to the Lemongrass soup, the Thai Me Up Rolls and Spicy Basil Noodles are delish. YUM.

  • Pros: Consistently good food, fast service
