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!

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!

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!

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.

Drunken noodle with shrimp
Nancy Q.

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.

Great spot! Best drunken noodles I've had in years and they are very generous with portions and veggies. Get the steamed tofu instead of fried if you are trying to watch your fat! The tom yum noodle soup was excellent as well. Nice waiters, cool building with a vibe when you walk towards the front.

Pad Thai
Seth C.

We stopped into Arches Thai after spending the day at Canyonlands. We were hungry, tired, and ready for some grub, and this place hit the spot! No wait for a table, there was a nice calm atmosphere that suited us well after an exhausting day, and the service staff was attentive and efficient. I ended up getting the beef pad Thai, and it may have been helped by the day we had, but MAN it did the trick. This place was exactly what we were looking for, and we would definitely come back if we ever came back to Moab! Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 1/5 no complaints

Tofu red curry

Outstanding food! Wow didn't expect such great Thai food in Moab. All the dishes were amazing delicious...just the right spices, sauces and beautifully presented. Would definitely come back!

Perfect dinner at Arches Thai. We received a friendly greeting and seated right away. Lots of water and ice in a carafe at our table. We started with the garden rolls and gyoza and they were some of my favorite bites all night. We ordered panang curry with chicken and it was perfect - flavorful with lots of chicken and vegetables. The delicate chicken had considerably less chicken than I expected but was still very good. The drunken noodles with steak were delicious and not too spicy at all. Great dinner and really enjoyed our night.

2nd time in Moab and had itch again for Thai. The Duck salad looked beautiful but was shocking pricy and duck was dry and disappointing. The green curry rocked. The mango sticky rice had great rice but the mango came strangely as small cubes

Benjamin M.

I just thoroughly loved this place! Staff was sooo friendly! The ambiance was so neat! Super woodsy inside but clean and so nicely decorated! But the winner was the food! Everything was so fresh! They were very accommodating with my kiddo and brought her just some tofu and a side of rice, etc etc etc. the eggplant was excellent! The pad Thai was very balanced and super flavorful! Definitely will be the place to go when we return!

Servers are nice. Other diners really like this place. I'm sure it's good Asian food for Moab. It's average for me. We started with the chicken wings, nice crunch and moist inside. Sweet chili dipping sauce. Good start. I chose the tilapia with sweet basil sauce. The fish crust was not as crunchy as I like and the spicy basil sauce heavy and salty for me. The fish was moist inside the crust. That part was good. The veggies are nice but again the sauce was overwhelming. His pad thai with beef was better than my entree. He liked it. I liked it. The Halloween decor was so fun and I love all the different scary things. He thought the window was open and I was laughing when he heard the Halloween witches laughing while he was waiting outside for me. As if! I also like the outdoor seating available.

Tom Yum Noodle Soup
Kathy M.

My fiance stayed in Moab for Thanksgiving weekend and we were craving something comforting. Thankfully, Arches Thai was open for Thanksgiving day. It was a full house! We waited for quite some time until we sat at our table. The menu is huge! They even offer some curries that I've never heard of before like lychee curry and mango curry. We started with the curry puffs which was recommended by our server. It was delicious! Flakey and crispy on the outside, and flavorful on the inside. Our entrees took awhile, which was totally reasonable because of the holiday rush. When our entrees came out, I realized we should have just shared one. They were huge! I got the curry noodles which was good at first, but as I kept eating it, the curry became more dense because it was so thick and there was an endless amount of rice noodles. Noodle soups ideally should have a thinner broth. My fiance ordered the Tom Yum Noodles but it didn't quite have that lemongrass and tangy flavor. It tasted more like bun rieu, which is a Vietnamese seafood soup. Our servers were really nice, despite the holiday chaos. Overall, the food didn't quite have that authentic flair. If you're new to Thai food, you might enjoy this more.

Good service and decent food. Pricey for what you get but with limited options this is better than the average restaurant in Moab.

Ordered take out as we are arriving into Moab near closing time. We ordered Tom Yum fried rice,…read morepad thai, and stir-fry broccoli. The place was still packed when we arrived. Everything was available for pickup at the promised time, and it was all still hot! This was great after a long day of driving. I especially appreciated that they acknowledged our "nut allergy" note in our order. The food was flavorful and colorful. I would come back again if we stayed in Moab longer. We found parking easily but I can imagine it being busy since it was in the center of the town.

Most of the food are great, tho very spicy for me. Drunken noodle is good and supposedly the most…read morespicy dish (spicy level 3/5) but it is not as spicy as the fried rice (2/5). I really like the tamarind duck. The sauce is sweet and sour. However, I really hate how half the mushroom is cooked and half is not.. This curry is not very different from normal thai curry; the shrimp is cooked well, still has a nice crunch. Satay is normal, sauce is a little too sweet. Papaya salad is the worst dish, way too salty and sour. Green bean texture is too soft but seasoning is on point. Mango sticky rice is not good either: sticky rice is undercooked and mango is sour. I don't like the service here. We were still eating and they came over and just started to take our plates away, and when we still haven't finished the main course, they already asked if we want dessert. Also, they didn't really ask for spicy level of all the dishes and just assume we would go with the same spicy level. Food does come out very quick.

Service was great- even though I stopped by close to closing, staff was so friendly and the food was still served steaming hot. There's some lovely open wooden architecture here that make it a great place for conversations of any kind- dates, family outings, a quiet personal meal, or more!

Do NOT get any pork dish here. The server informed me they mainly serve beef or chicken - which…read moremeans the pork stays in the freezer much longer. I got the pork pad thai and it was below average. The pork tasted stale, rancid, and gamey. The dish noodles themselves were just ok. Ambiance was calm, servers were sweet. They only had one chef, didn't have sushi and a number of other dishes when I went in a Friday afternoon, though. Not sure if it was poor timing or if it is usually like that. Bottom line: This may be a historically local favorite, but it is certainly not up to par with other places. Apparently the quality has gone down over the last couple years, unsure what changed. If you're visiting from out of town and are craving Thai food, go to Arches Thai in Moab, UT - WAY better food for similar price. It is worth the extra drive, trust me.
