Moo Yai Thai Restaurant

Update: Moo Yai Thai was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Season 42 episode 21. Watch On Demand.

This place opened on April 2019. They started off with basic Thai dishes.
Drinks, my current favorite is the coconut water with coconut meat. Also try the traditional Thai iced tea or the Thai tea with lime juice. Apps, I love the curry puffs. The pastry is very light and the stuffing is delish! Actually get the Moo Yai sampler and that will include the puffs, chicken satay, pork skewers and dumplings. Dumplings by the way has good portion of ground pork.
Let me just state my favorite dishes
Pad Thai chicken
Steak salad
Coconut soup with chicken
Pineapple fried rice
Seafood fried rice (good portion of crab meat!)
Specials (dine in only)
Steak cut in strips
Crispy duck
Pork cooked 2 ways
Chicken with peanut sauce (similar to chicken satay)
Garlic shrimp which is the number one favorite special
Desserts you both enjoy the fried bananas and mango sticky rice.
I go there many time you might see me there
Enjoy!

We just stopped by on the way back from Sandy Hook beach, and was very positively surprised how good and authentic the food is here. I am very familiar with south east Asian food, and I would say this is probably one of the best Thai food I have had. The owner was very helpful to guide me on spice level (which I always check for my children). They said their Pad Thai and beef were top class, my hot green curry with tofu was perfect and just the right flavor and heat. I highly recommend it. Also I had a great conversation with the owner on his aquarium, this place is really a gem.

Best Thai I’ve had around here in a longgggg time. The papaya salad is super authentic! I ordered takeout from here and everyone at the restaurant was extremely nice, didn’t take long at all, and the food was still hot when I arrived home. The Thai fried rice was excellent and the curries were also authentic and very flavorful. I do think the mango sticky rice should be slightly saltier like it is in Thailand, but it still hit the spot. I’m so excited about this place - it’ll be my next go-to for Thai in this area!
