One Plate at a Time
Thai Me Up has been earning its reputation on North First Street in Fresno for over a decade — one wok-fired plate at a time. The name is playful. The food is dead serious.
Thai Me Up | Our Story
A Neighborhood Spot, North First Street
Thai Me Up opened as a mom-and-pop kitchen with one mission: serve Fresno honest, authentic Thai food at everyday prices. A decade and a few addresses later, that mission hasn't budged.
The Dish That Made Our Name
Our Pad Kra Pao — ground meat, fresh chilies, garlic, and Thai basil over jasmine rice with a crispy fried egg — is the dish people drive across Fresno for. A guest who ate krapao daily across eight cities in Thailand called ours an easy top-three.
Press Noticed, Community Kept Us
ABC30's Dine and Dish featured us, and the Pittsburgh City Paper called our nam tok grilled beef salad so good it "rendered a dining partner speechless." Fresno's regulars fill these tables week after week.
Real Food, Honest Prices
Khao Man Gai — silky poached chicken over rich broth-cooked rice with house dipping sauces — runs just five dollars. We even opened a grocery next door so you can bring the kitchen home.
The People Behind Every Plate
Every plate leaves our kitchen made by people who genuinely love this food — friendly faces who'll tell you what's wok-hot today. Come hungry, come as you are.
