Since I moved to Utah, I've had a very hard time finding good Thai food. We found this restaurant while visiting the arches national Park. It is off of the main strip and kind of hidden but easy to find with directions. It is so worth going! We had chicken panang curry and Drunken Noodles. I also had 2 Thai Iced Teas. Everything had so much flavor!! The service was incredibly quick. They were very friendly. The restaurant was clean. All in all an excellent experience the only thing that could be better is if they were located in Salt Lake City!
Still as good as 6 years ago! This time I wanted to mention their beautiful food presentation! Just wonderful!
Delicious, friendly, and efficient! There was a decent crowd but you wouldn't know it based on the service. The patio areas are lovely, we ate in the back, but there are also spots in front. We were taken care of right away and the food was very hot and fresh. I loved the red curry, just the right amount of spices to leave my lips tingly. The pad Thai was also fantastic and a decent amount of spice for my heat-loving hubby at a 2/5. (I honestly think this place could/should give lessons in efficiency; so impressive.)
Stopped by Arches Thai while we were in Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with Lindsey & Kenny--and yeah... really glad we did. The food tasted just as good as it looked--awesome presentation. Everything we had was fresh, packed with flavor, and hit that perfect Thai spice level. One of those places where you're already planning your next order before you even leave. If you're cruising through Moab and want a break from burgers and BBQ, this spot is absolutely worth the stop.
The service was super friendly and attentive. The place is very inviting and open. The food was amazing and the portions are very generous. Can't wait to go back!
Great location. No wait at all on the Fourth of July. Dog friendly. Quick service. But the kicker was- BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION. The massaman curry came with a large tempura, just gorgeous. And very tasty. The two best friends, panang curry and crab fried rice were great too. Slightly expensive but to be expected for Moab. Our group loved loved the food here.
Great food, nice place, service was great. Location just next to Main Street. Definitely a nice meal with conversation
Wow! Super impressed with this place, especially considering I had excellent Thai food just the night before at another nearby spot. We were seated right away and the service was on point from start to finish. The interior is spacious and comfortable, which made the experience even better. Entrée prices are very reasonable, mostly in the $16-$20 range. I ordered the drunken noodles and the portion was generous and packed with flavor. Heads up on the spice level: I usually order medium, but this was noticeably spicier than expected. Still delicious, just something to keep in mind. Totally forgot to take pics of my food as I was starving, whoops!
If you come to Moab you must eat here! This was our favorite meal of the trip, and probably the best Thai food I've had in a long time, better than most places in the Bay Area. Really flavorful, large portions, friendly service. Lots of indoor seating as well as an outdoor patio space, with nice decor. The pad see ew was delicious, with soft and fresh noodles. The pineapple curry was sweet and flavorful, with plenty of veggies. The curry noodles were also super flavorful, plenty of noodles as well as other veggies. This food was delicious when we were hungry after a hike, but was also equally delicious the next day for breakfast. 10/10 recommend this place!
What a treat to arrive in Moab to discover this great Thai restaurant. The ambiance and food are excellent and the staff is bend-over-backward wonderful. Thai Bella is situated in a cozy home located west of Main Street (US191). The main dining room downstairs is fine, but the upstairs dining area provides a more intimate experience for larger parties. We dined at a 6-top in an upstairs nook that made us feel like we were in an upscale version of our own home. Really enjoyed the Khao Soi, Panag Curry, and Thai Basil (all chicken dishes). Good selection of apps - we loved Bella's fresh rolls.
Amazingly delicious Thai food! So good, we visited this restaurant twice on our 2 day trip in Moab. From Los Angeles and this place is the best Thai food I've ever had. So much flavor and great portions. Every dish has so many ingredients. I loved the tom yum with shrimp because the soup was incredibly flavorful with huge juicy shrimps and aromatics in the broth. In the 2 days we stayed in Utah, we ordered the tom yum 3 times. It was incredibly comforting for our winter trip. For those who don't handle spicy, it's not a problem because they adjust the level of spice to your liking. But the flavor is still so good! The place is definitely casual but the service is so nice and they are constantly checking in on us. If I get to visit Moab again, I will definitely visit Arches Thai again.
Lots of GF/Celiac friendly options at this restaurant! Server was knowledgable and able to remove potential cross contaminants from our meal (& menu is well marked). We'll certainly return here in the future!
My 14 year old son and I enjoy food: We often go on foodie adventures together because my husband and oldest son don't enjoy the same foods we enjoy. Well it's really hot here in Moab, so we almost didn't venture out but again, we eat, so we walked down to Arches Thai. The atmosphere is quaint. The service polite and timely. My son ordered the Curry Bowl with pork, I ordered the Crispy Duck. My son took one bite and said, "We need to eat like this more often." Again, we eat. So I would say we enjoyed our dinner.

What a great find in Utah! The Tom Kha soup was amazing. We had drunken noodles with tofu and veggies. Having been on the road a few days, we appreciated the generous portion of vegetables. This place would do well even in California. read more

Overall a good experience. I don't understand the bad reviews since this place is a nice Thai restaurant. The food was tasty. I was surprised that they didn't have the usual Thai spicy that has peppers in vinegar. They only had a red chili sauce. Also spicier level was way lower than we ordered and no tasty spicy sauce to add after. In general I would go back. My only BIG criticism is that they charged us 20% tip in the bill . We were four people so not a big group. There was nothing stating that in the menus. I don't think it's ok. On top they had the nerve to state that we can add more tip. The service in the place was ok and not more than that, so 20% was completely not justified. read more

Freakin' fantastic Thai food! After a long day, the last thing I wanted to do was cook in the dark. We arrived around 8pm on a weekday and it was busy. We were seated promptly and feeling daring, we decided to stray from our usual Pad Thai and traditional curry. - Tom Kha with shrimp ($12.95): Excellent! The shrimp was cooked perfectly in a well seasoned, very flavorful coconut soup base. - Curry noodle with chicken ($14.95): So good! Very saucy and curry-ish, so the noodles could sop up all that goodness. - Paradise curry ($19.95): Lychee and rambutan in curry?! An exotic sweet and sour curry dish. Get it! Calvin, our server, took great care of us. He explained we could choose our spice level from 1 to 5, 8 being "Thai hot", and that it's better to be more conservative because spiciness can always be added, but it can't be taken away! We ordered everything as a 3, and it was perfect. Portions were on the large side. The two of us had enough leftover for another meal the next day. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent coconut seafood soup and curries. This is an awesome Thai restaurant, I was not expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is very pretty. Service was fast and friendly. You feel safe in terms of covid prevention there, all very strict in terms of following the rules and spacing out (the restaurant is big and many people seem to go to take out). I wish the large soup was larger, but that means it was really nice. This is not located in main street of Moab but there is plenty of parking and is easy to find. It has more an old cabin by the mountains look and feel than a typical Thai restaurant. Will repeat if back. That food is perfect after a long day hiking! read more

I love Thai but my daughters are not fans. Or should I say weren't. When my one daughter suggested we go to Arches I jumped at the opportunity. We were sat immediately. I did notice on the menu a 20% gratuity on parties of 4ppl or more. I have never seen this before but whatever, let's see what the service is like. The family had Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew, Thai Iced Tea. All were very good. Spice level here is 1-5. I ordered 3 -4. I might have had a 4-5. I know it's not rocket science but I might go lower on the scale unless you order more beer then your good at a 5. Service ended up being attentive and good. The 20% was not on our bill when I received it, FYI. read more

Do not come here if you're in a rush, with a large group or expect great service. We came with a group of 7 and were seated fairly quickly. We placed our orders, and then the food took forever to arrive. Not only that but there was at least 45 min wait between when the first plates arrived (noodle dishes - pad Thai, pad see ew) and the last plates did (curry). While the food was fresh, the wait staff didn't offer any explanation for the wait and continued to walk past our table avoiding eye contact. We also heard and saw multiple glasses being dropped/broken as we continued to wait, so the general feel was that they were incredibly short staffed and rushing. While the food was good and the portions were fairly large, I would not recommend coming here. I'm not sure if they offer takeout as an option, but that may be a better way to go - just be prepared to wait or call your order far in advance! read more
Excellent food and extremely friendly service. I have ordered takeout from here several times and each time my experience has been amazing. This restaurant is always very busy, so expect a wait possibly to either eat in, or a little extra time for takeout. I had the drunken noodles with chicken and the spiciness was perfect! Can't wait to return! read more

Oooo first review since getting the black Elite badge! This is a long overdue review for this amazing Thai restaurant in the small town of Moab. Most people visit Moab because of the national parks - Arches and Canyonlands. (If you haven't been to either, it's a once in a lifetime experience. I had a separate review on Arches NP.) Amazing views with amazing Thai food = amazing trip! So we initially wanted to try a super hyped up Vietnamese fusion place but due to their indifferent service we found this place on yelp and came here instead. SO GLAD WE DID. their food was bomb and service was prompt and friendly. Their Tom yum soup was perfect for a cold day, and the drunken noodles were spot on. Their mango curry was out of this world. Just so delicious. Definitely check this out if you're in Moab!!! read more

Wow - the reviews don't lie. Best Thai outside of Thailand. Am from CA / NY where we are spoilt by great Thai options - this is as good as it gets. Highly recommend the curries - so rich and flavorful. Perfect for after a long day of altitude hiking. So many unique options too - we had the curry noodle w chicken, green curry w tofu, and crab fried rice. After road trip food, this super satisfies the craving for something different, rich and hearty. Appreciate they use fresh and organic ingredients as much as possible which really makes the flavors pop. Very sanitary service (wear your mask whenever the staff approaches and unless eating) and spaced out seating. Come early - we came after our hikes around 530pm and by 7pm there was a wait (in the off-season / winter). read more

Fous. This place with lots of reviews in a small town and it did NOT disappoint! Some of the best Thai I've had in the states! My friend ordered the Pineapple curry and loved it! I got the jungle curry and wow! It was so good! The spice was just right and the flavor! I could not stop eating it and was sad when it was gone! If you're staying in Moab, I highly recommend a dinner here during your stay! The waitstaff is super friendly too! read more
Friendly service. Came here after Arches . Craving Thai food. Place was busy and was excited to taste foods. Enjoyed the soup-see picture. Hubby ordered the Cheicken Pa see Ew which was for very flavorful-highly recommend this dish. I ordered the Thai fried rice that was nothing special-would not order this again. read more
We were craving Thai food after a cold wet hike to the Delicate Arch plus it started to snow so we wanted something warm and spicy, but boy did this place disappoint! First off the decor and the setup were looking like maybe it had been a former Mexican restaurant then the sign said "thai + pho" so we were a bit hesitant. But then again were we expecting authentic thai food in Moab?? Maybe? First, we ordered curry puffs that needed to be heated up a bit more. The filling was cold and the puff portion needed to be puffier and crispier. It tasted like we were biting into white bread-- and I would've enjoyed pb&jelly more. Chicken wings were okay. One of the wings just had a lot of clotted blood with no meat in it so I stopped eating that. The Drunken Noodles had only a few noodle pieces with mostly bamboo shoots thrown in. The flavor was okay but it definitely needed more noodles. Also we asked for level 5 spicy, this is a level 2. Lastly, I ordered the green curry which I couldn't eat after one bite because it was basically gooey coconut milk with a green color. I tasted absolutely no curry. Then the waiter recommended that I order the jungle curry instead because they "use no coconut milk" in that hahah as if I don't like coconut milk. I like coconut milk but when I ask for curry I expect some actual flavor uhh perhaps some curry! Anyway the jungle curry was basically just a teaspoon of curry and water turning out to be curry soup that got poured over a cold salad, chicken and of course the bamboo shoots! I would never come back here again. The waiter still charged me; didn't even offer me a refund for the nasty green curry dish. I mean I would have paid either way but at least offer if you see a customer's utter disappointment. We definitely do not recommend this place and we regret eating here.... In fact we stopped eating and went to Subway's for a footlong. It was a much better experience! read more
Craving some Asian food in a small town? This place got you YAS RECCOMEND: Tom yum fried rice - basically fried rice with Tom yum paste, Soooo good we had to come back here a second time. Be ready for that MSG hit though, good flavor comes at a price! Highly recommend Fried chicken wings - soooo good an well marinated and super crispy. Flavor is exactly like SF Chinatown chicken wings, reminiscent of bay area flavor THE GOOD: Nam Tok - thin slice beef in acidic juices, partially raw. Appreciate the authenticity, however beef was a little gamey. Overall good dish if you're missing some real stuff from the home land MEH OK: Som Tum - everything was fresh don't get me wrong. It was the lack of fish sauce, chili and shrimp paste that got me disappointed. It definitely was made to appeal to the tourists, very safe flavor Pad See Ew - ok... so the sweet soy sauce was a little too sweet but the noodles were ok. The thing that disappointed me the most was that there was no Chinese broccoli in there, this is the only reason why I ever order pad see ew. Instead of the nice mustardy herbal taste of the Chinese broccoli they had subbed it for regular American broccoli. Sigh NO: Thai Toast - recommended by the blonde cashier as once if her favorite dishes. Sorry girlfriend, sometimes I just gotta take these recommendations with a grain if salt next time as it was some blasphemous dish, just deep fried conglomeration of yesterday's leftover larb plus bread Overall, would return especially if you're not in the burger or pizza mood read more
Excellent little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Great for large parties. Lots of selections on the menu including most traditional Thai dishes such as pad Thai and red/green/yellow curry. We got the Thai fried wings with special sauce, the eggrolls and the jungle curry with chicken. I added a side of sticky rice for myself while my friend got the white rice that the entree comes with. Although they tout that the jungle curry is not that spicy, it actually has a kick to it and builds up after a few spoonfuls. Recommend letting them know youre not able to tolerate spice so they can adjust the level for you. Overall a great experience, especially during covid where we get plenty of space away from other patrons. read more

Real nice place with booths and tables. The also have seating outside We are passing through MOAB and decided to stay two nights. Now we have a little more time to try the restaurants and other businesses. This Thai restraint has some good food. Lots of choices but our need are simple. We ordered Tom Yum fried rice with seafood and Pad Thai with chicken. That was more than enough food for the two of us. We had to take some home. The Tom Yum fried rice has wonderful and delightful flavors. This could be spicy if you request. This combination was unexpected and cooler for a hot day as I normally order Tom Yum soup. Remember, the line starts early. read more

The BEST Thai food in my opinion! Everything we ordered was excellent! First time we tried this place we were blown away and now we're back! The original party of four walked away feeling once again satisfied with the whole taste and experience! If we lived in Moab you best bet we'd be here at least weekly! Thank you for the scrumptious entrees and desserts! You again exceeded our expectations! Service was great and the ambiance was very relaxing. A must try when in Moab! You won't be disappointed. read more

We were craving Thai when we made it out to Moab and to my surprise we found this gem. Nice decor, clean, and spacious. Our waitress was friendly and the service was very quick. The food was good, I thought that my Pad Thai was a little too sweet but otherwise it was perfect. Definitely recommend! read more

We were passing through Moab and wanted to grab dinner to go. We stumbled upon this place and saw it had really good reviews. We called ahead of time so the food would be ready when we arrived. The food was good and we appreciate the fast service. Would recommend! read more
We visited the week before Labor Day weekend and tend to eat early, so had the restaurant virtually to ourselves. We enjoyed this enough to go back two nights. Although the restaurant was pretty empty, we noticed quite a robust takeout business going on. The restaurant was clean and well layed-out. Service was very quick, food came out arranged very attractively and our waiter was quite attentive. We enjoyed the food, particularly the well-done flavor and that the vegetables were not overdone. I'm eating four stars only because the sauces were a little overwhelming (in quantity) compared to the noodles / vegetables. Were the dishes served with a less sauce, they would be perfect. When we go back, we will return to Arches Thai!! read more
