Moo Yai Thai Restaurant

Moo Yai Thai has become an absolute favorite for my wife and me, and we can't recommend it enough! My wife has celiac disease and a dairy allergy, so eating out can sometimes be challenging, but the staff here are incredibly knowledgeable about food allergies. They are meticulous in ensuring her meal is safe, and after dining at Moo Yai Thai well over 50 times, she has never gotten sick—a testament to their dedication and care. As for the food, I’ve made it my mission to try almost everything on their menu, and it’s all amazing. That said, there are some standout dishes I keep coming back to. The **Tom Yum Soup** is a flavor explosion—perfectly balanced with tangy, spicy, and savory notes. The **Pad Thai with Peanut Sauce on the Side** is a comforting classic, done exceptionally well. If you’re a fan of pork dishes, the **Pad Basil with Pork** and the **Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Pork** are must-tries—they pack just the right amount of heat and are bursting with flavor. Whether you have dietary restrictions or are just looking for consistently delicious Thai food, Moo Yai Thai delivers every time. It's a gem in Sea Bright that we feel lucky to have in our rotation!

Hands down, best Thai food in the area. I have been to Thailand on a number of occasions and this is the only spot in Monmouth county (and New Jersey as far as I've found) that even comes close. Beyond that the owners are unbelievably friendly, helpful, and kind. I really can't sing the praises of Moo Yai enough. Everytime we are in Sea Bright it's a must stop. Looking forward to years and years of meals from this gem of a local staple. As far as our specific order. Papaya salad is a must and I am an absolute sucker for the pad basil with pork. My wife loves their gluten free mindfulness and my son absolutely crushes anything with a good flat noodle (in fact, I sent him to daycare today with leftover pad woonsen for lunch!)
