What we cater

Four ways we feed a room

Every menu is built to the event, the venue and the guest count. Nothing comes off a fixed list.

Weddings

Plated or shared family style, 40 to 300 guests, with a tasting before you book.

Corporate lunches

Boxed individual meals or shared platters, delivered and set up on time.

Private parties

Prepped in our kitchen, finished and plated at your place. Setup takes minutes.

Popups

A full Thai stall for markets, breweries and street festivals across the city.

No open flame required Venue-friendly setup Gluten-free options Vegetarian & vegan options

Pounded, not poured

Everything starts in the clay mortar

No jarred paste, no shortcuts. Som tam, dressings and nam prik are pounded to order in the khrok din phao, the tall clay mortar every Thai kitchen is built around.

Because nothing needs a burner, we can serve rooms most caterers can't: hotels, galleries, offices and venues that don't allow cooking on site. Setup is quiet, quick and clean.

We cook mild through to properly Thai hot, and we'll tell you honestly which end your guests will want.

Our story

She has been doing this since she was seven

That is her in the photo, helping at her mother's stall in the market. Som tam pounded to order, curries in the trays, fruit cut fresh, every day before and after school.

Thai Me Up is that stall, brought to Calgary. The same dishes, the same clay mortar, the same habit of making everything the morning it is served. Nothing arrives in a jar and nothing sits waiting.

It is why we would rather cook at your venue than deliver something that has been in a warmer for two hours.
