Thai Me Up

Food was ok. I had the General Thai Chicken. The chicken itself was very tasty but everything else was ok. Service was a bit slow because they seemed understaffed. The servers themselves were nice.

Thai Me Up is a restaurant technically inside of Melvin Brewing, one of the 4 breweries on Jackson. It has a very eclectic mix of foods to choose from, which includes burgers and cheesesteaks - both of which are absolutely delicious. There is usually a wait to eat here since it's always packed, but it's worth the wait.

Wonderful dinner. Started with the Shishito peppers. Mild heat with the squeeze of lime. Really good. Then ordered the Tom Kha Gai. Really nice soup. Warms the soul on a cold night. Knew I wouldn't be able to finish it, but wanted to try the Khao Soi Curry. Really good dish with those crunchy fried noodles. Rest to go. Portions large. Only little gripe. In the chilly months, winter, it'd be nice if you offered Hot Green or Jasmine tea. Be nice to have with dinner or lunch when cold outside.

Eh, I thought the Thai food was okay, but nothing spectacular. I ordered the Drunken noodle. It tasted too sweet and not spicy at all. Not sure if I could even call it Drunken noodle. Definitely was their own spin on the dish. Lots of draft selection of Melvin brewery. The beers were definitely good. I would go back for the beers.

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.
