สวัสดี Sawasdee! Welcome to Curry Up & Wok This Way, Waco’s go-to spot for authentic Thai cuisine! Born and raised in Southern Thailand, our owners bring the vibrant flavors of their homeland to Texas with a menu that captures the heart of traditional Thai cooking. Enjoy rich curries, tantalizing stir-fries, and fragrant noodle dishes made with fresh ingredients and bold spices.
Whether you’re a Thai food lover or a first-timer, our warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive staff will make you feel right at home. Join us for an authentic taste of Thailand, right here in Waco!
Top notch food and service! We’re thrilled to have wonderful Tom Kha in Waco. Their panang curry is amazing, and they serve excellent pad thai as well. I love that the pad thai isn’t overly sweet.
If you're needing gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, authentic spice, this place is for you! They are so kind and made sure to notify me of gluten free soy sauce for my allergy, and very knowledgeable about their ingredients.
The employees just work there, so don't bother asking about the menu. They didn't design it, so they can't describe it. Also, I know the pictures are always much nicer than the actual product, but the difference between the menu and the product at this location is ridiculous. It looks like a lunch cafeteria serving, no pride in their work.
Edit: While I completely applaud the family run business, the employees you had there today were either not family or simply did not care, and did a horrible job representing your values. They also cleary took no care in their preparation of our meal.
The best Thai food outside of Thailand by far!
I’ve been to Thailand many times and this is the only place I get that authentic taste.
Also the owners are the nicest people you will ever meet.
I am a Self Admitted Thai and in particular Panang Curry snob. If you like a real panang curry. nice thick sauce, with the right amount of sweet, spicy, coconut, peanutty and the aroma of the kaffir lime leaf...you will like this. So much flavor, nothing missing.
I got both the Panang and the Green Curry. both were so delicious. Super surprised this was in a food court. don't let that scare you!
Best Thai food around! I’d drive to Waco just for Curry up and Wok food. The best and most authentic Thai food in Texas. Love this place and the atmosphere.
Food was delicious! The employees, Isaiah and Will did a great job. I got the Pad Kee Mao with chicken. We had to order more to go. 😄
Definitely great vibes great food. Will was very helpful. He explained the menu to me and my family. He recommended a great meal. Definitely will be returning
Never had pad Thai before but this place was amazing ! 5 star

Best Thai food in Waco! My favorites are Pad Kee Mao and Panang Curry. Both locations (here and Union Hall) are excellent!
Employees = cool
Food = very tasty
Solid choice
Definitely Not worth money.
$15 for a really small portion.
The food and the service was great👍
First time here….. Couldn’t believe the incredible service and food at curry up! Lance and Isaiah were more than accommodating to me and my wife.
We will definitely be back!
What an absolute phenomenal Thai place! Probably some of the best in central Texas! This place actually makes real Thai food and reminds me of Las Vegas!
Absolutely best Thai food in Waco!
Coming from someone that spent time in the restaurant industry AND in Thailand, this place is THE place to go in central Texas for anything Thai / Curry related!! The proprietor is awesome, kind, and the right kind of business owner that we need in Waco! Highly recommended!!!
Curry Up & Wok This Way is by far my favorite Thai food that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I try to visit one of their restaurants once a week because it is so good! I have ordered everything on their menu and you can't go wrong with whatever you order. The food is fresh and the service is exceptional. It is always a pleasure to see Chef Bank.
Had panang curry....barely heated...small portion! Almost $15 with tax. Curry was super sweet...nothing like I ever tasted in Thailand. Won't be back.
So good!
Amazing service and food! Chef is the best!
Adan was very friendly and informative. He helped us decide what we wanted and even offered a sample of the curry. The food was good and portion sizes were generous - not enough for leftovers but we were full. We will be back to try some of the other items on the menu!
Love the green curry
Great food and service!
Best Thai in Waco
The green curry was amazing!
So flavorful!! And service was so friendly!!
Delicious food. Spicy is really spicy. Which is great.
Beat curry ever!!!
Mid at best hardly any flavor in the pad kee mow.
My family and I had a great first experience at Union Grove. It was hard to decide what to eat but I ended up trying the panang curry at Currh Up & Wok this Way and it was delicious! I was a little unsure about the sauce taste/spice level, and the person who helped me let me try it before purchasing to make sure I liked it. It was great customer service, and the food came out quickly! I would highly recommend!
The Thai Style Fried Rice is the best fried rice I’ve ever had! We’ll be back for sure.
BEST fried rice in Waco. 10/10 every time.
Love ordering the chicken pai tai here ! Never disappoints!
Fantastic experience and super friendly staff!
The Panang Curry that I get everyday is delicious, love this place!
An absolutely fantastic place to get Thai curry in Woodway!!!!!
Wonderful people with a fantastic 2nd location in Waco! Authentic, high quality food, served with top notch ingredients. The whole team is amazing! Start at the top of the menu and work your way through it! You’ll love everything!
First time here, amazing Thai food. I’m fall in love with their food🤍🤍
I placed an online order that was confirmed via email, but wasn’t received by the restaurant. After showing the confirmation email, the team was quick to prepare my food and make it right.
The food at Curry Up is consistently vibrant, fresh, and delicious. This restaurant is truly a gem among local spots in Waco, and one of my go-to places for authentic and comforting Thai food. My personal fave is the Pad Kee Mao, but you can’t go wrong with anything you order here! :)
The food was delicious and service was prompt! I had the Thai style fried rice and would definitely get it again!
Very good food,.
Quick & friendly service!
Great food, always fresh, highly recommend!
This is my second time ordering from Curry Up in 4 days. The food is packed with flavor. The owner is welcoming, friendly and making sure all guests walk away with fresh food.
Bank and Ning, the owners of Curry Up, are the kindest people and their food is delicious!
Tried their 2nd location at Union Grove and it was simply amazing. Ordered the Pad Kra Pow which had so much flavor. My family will definitely be checking this place out again
I had the green curry for lunch today and wow! I was blown away by the flavor, so so good. Do yourself a favor and come get some for yourself!
Got the Chicken Panang Curry and it is so good! Everyone is always so helpful and friendly here. Can’t wait to try more menu items!
