    Seafood curry
    Michael T.

    Mud dang is always a good idea! It's a restaurant. I wish I could get two more often and every time I go I'm reminded exactly why. This is some of, if not the best Thai food in the Reno Tahoe area and if you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out. People always ask me why I say that statement was such certainty and it's because Chef Opal really goes the extra mile to bring our community new and authentic flavor. She started with her Thai noodle soup soups, which have been a main stay on the menu since they opened in overtime, she's expanded those offerings to include many of her favorite dishes from back home. It's hard to pull away from what's beloved, but I find myself trying harder and harder to look at the new additions and choose one each time I go. That's why I largely prefer to go in a group because it means we can order more things lol! This last time I saw a seafood curry on the menu and had to go for it. At $30 I was a little unsure if it would be quite the value but let me tell you this thing was loaded with high-quality seafood. Big chunks of crab, giant, prawns, and large pieces of calamari steak made this extra special. The sauce was a yellow curry that had a slight sweetness, and it was chock full of scrambled egg that added richness, and of course you could add as much spice as you'd like. Another home run by Chef, Opal, and a great reason to get back to Moo Dang asap!

    Moo Dang fried rice

    We are back and lovin' it! My plan was to have leftovers and let me just tell you the fried rice for breakfast was awesome. That all started the afternoon before with shrimp garden rolls with peanut sauce, Moo Dang fried rice, satay chicken and drunken noodles. (There were two of us just so you know). The fantastic fried rice was not new to me but had never had drunken noodles. That's the last time I make that mistake. It was a fantastic dish. Our server was helpful and fun. Same as last time, a standard for Moo Dang. Lots of booths and tables for everyone. You can also get a t-shirt on your way out!

    Dang the decorations with the old Kung Fu movie posters is dynamite! The staff is friendly and attentive. This place is nestled in a small shopping square with other restaurants. It is a 10 minute drive from the airport but the food sells itself. The food and drink menu here has depth! Chicken satay is tender and juicy! Papaya salad delicious and fresh. Thai fried rice with pork was a home run. We topped this off with the mango sticky rice. They also sell merchandise for the restaurant. Will come back the next time we're in town!

    First time here and I had pretty high hopes. When you walk in, the place is eclectically decorated and has a fun vibe. Service was quick and friendly, which I really appreciated. I love Thai food, but unfortunately this just didn't fully hit the mark for me. The fried rice was good and probably my favorite dish we ordered. The kra-pow spicy basil with pork belly was just okay -- the pork belly was very crunchy and almost overcooked and dry, which isn't how I'm used to having it. The pad Thai was decent, but it had a slightly strange taste that threw me off. Overall, not terrible, but not quite what I was hoping for given my expectations.

    Wow, this has to be the best Thai food I've ever had! I was so full when leaving but so grateful to have such an incredible experience. The Reno CM Michael T. ordered for the table a number of various dishes and none disappointed! There was so much food but it was my favorite way to eat. Getting to try so many dishes is my ideal dining experience. The servings were massive and so many good things to mentally note that I hope my local Thai place serves.The crispy papaya salad was a quick favorite but the Moo Dang soup might have been my favorite. The flavors in every dish were out of this world! I wish I lived closer to experience this restaurant more often!

    Moo Dang Soup
    Matt C.

    Without question, Moo Dang is some of the best Thai food I've come across! Holy smokes, I walked out of here stuffed to the brim and satisfied to the umpteenth degree. Moo Dang celebrated their 10th anniversary this year, and it's safe to say they might make it 100 more years in business if they keep this up. Reno, count your friggin' blessings! Pays to dine with royalty, and luckily the Reno CM Michael T. knows how to order for the table. The owner brought out at least seven ginormous plates of food that three of us barely made a dent in. But good god, I'm so glad I got to try so many different things in one meal. Sure, I have my favorites when I eat at a Thai restaurant. Here are a couple of things worth noting when dining at Moo Dang: Soups -- I tried the Tom Yum, the house named Moo Dang soup, and Green Curry. These were all top tier, putting to shame so many restaurants around the country. All of them were prepared with love and the flavors were simply exceptional. You might think to yourself, pork skewers and drunken noodles...how good could those be? Stop, drop, and roll people, these are also elite. The texture of the noodles were textbook, while the skewers retained so much moisture and depth of flavor. Papaya Salad is one of my favorite Thai dishes. Here we were presented with a fried version. I had no idea you could fry papaya! Shows what I know! This was incredible and unlike anything I've had before. Just sensational. The restaurant resides in a humble strip mall. The environment is homey and lively. The people are beyond friendly, and the food is nothing short of a 5-star knockout. Walking out of this place I said to myself, "I'm so lucky I had the chance to dine here." Moo Dang, you're awesome. I wish I didn't live 1000 miles away!!!

    Drunken Noodles
    Bebe P.

    One of the best Thai food in Reno, coming from someone from the bay. Staff was very friendly and was working fast. The space seems more traditional feel and that they're spaced out a bit more so it doesn't feel busy. The price is right.

    Tom Yum Fried Rice
    Lucia L.

    Big fan of Moo Deng (the baby hippo in Thailand) and Moo Dang! Was pleasantly surprised to find an authentic Thai spot in Reno, and this spot is definitely popular for good reason! When you walk in, you're greeted with a cute street cart with dangling cooked meats (which I presume is used for food festivals/catering) and a very authentic scent of Thai dishes. The interior is very unpretentious and simple, and despite having a busy flow of customers, the restaurant is large enough where it's pretty easy to get seated quickly. Food does take a while (as in 20-30 minutes) to come out, but it's definitely worth the wait! We ordered some basic staples - tom yum soup, pad Thai, and tom yum fried rice. The pad Thai was my favorite, with a flavorful sauce and succulent prawns and chicken. The tom yum soup and fried rice are also solid, albeit a bit too savory (for me) and too tomatoey (for my boyfriend). Overall, great spot for authentic Thai cuisine with large portions and very affordable prices!

    Moo Dang is one of my reliable Thai staples in Reno. The Tom Ka is comforting and rich without being heavy, the Moo Dang soup hits that savory-sweet noodle perfection, and the green curry is the kind you crave on a random Tuesday. Portions are generous, prices don't make me cry, and the staff has always treated me well. It's not quite fireworks-level for me.. maybe I haven't unlocked the dish yet, but I can always count on walking out satisfied. Solid joint!

    Moo Dang sits in Midtown in a big shopping center with plenty of parking. We went on a Friday early in the evening and were seated right away. By the time we headed out, the place was packed with people waiting, so going a bit earlier on a weekend helps. The space is roomy and has an easygoing feel. Thai photos and posters fill the walls, and the mix of tables and booths makes it comfortable for groups or a quick dinner. Service was great from the start. Everything came out quickly, and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The food was the highlight. The Lad Na had a warm, savory sauce that coated the soft noodles nicely, and the vegetables were fresh with a good crunch. The Kra Pow Basil pork had a clean basil flavor and a steady heat that made it really satisfying. We finished with the sweet rice mango, which arrived warm and tender and wrapped up the meal in the best way. I would absolutely recommend it.

    Moo Dang truly has some of the most superb comfort food in all of Reno. It is consistently good and always top of mind if I need a quick bite. The spring rolls were huge and meaty with tons of lettuce and delicious peanut sauce. My panang curry was creamy luscious and the tofu was crispy and plentiful. I left super full with plenty leftover. Food came out piping hot with no wait at all. Love coming back time and time to moo dang it always hits the spot and it is such a comforting meal each time.

    We finally tried Moo Dang for lunch after hearing about how good they are. I must say that we waited too long to try them! Moo Dang is such a cute establishment with Thai posters all over their walls. They were busy with patrons so it took a few minutes before we were greeted with menus. We tried their Tom Yum soup, Drunken Noodles with shrimp, and Mango Sticky Rice. The Tom Yum soup was intensely flavored: spicy, sweet, savory. I loved how pronounced the lemongrass and basil was! The Drunken Noodles were really good, too. Great balance of flavors and ingredients. And, the mango sticky rice was excellent: the mango was ripe and sweet, the sticky rice was soft and flagrant. Overall service was good. They refilled our water glasses and were friendly. I can't wait to try more of their dishes.

    Moo Dang is hands down my all-time favorite Thai restaurant, that's saying something since I live in Vegas! Every time I'm in Reno, I make it a point to stop here, and the staff always makes me feel right at home. They recognize us the moment we walk in, which just adds to the warm, welcoming vibe. Let's talk food: they have the BEST Pad Thai ever- and I mean ever. I'm a Pad Thai lover, and Moo Dang's is simply unmatched. Spice is always perfection- love this! On this visit, we also enjoyed their huge calamari (perfectly crispy and tender), crab rangoon, Thai egg rolls, and a comforting chicken noodle soup. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. They also have a great selection of wine, beer and a delicious Thai tea. Service is always fabulous, friendly, attentive, and consistent no matter how busy they are. Moo Dang is the kind of place that keeps you coming back again and again. If you're in Reno and craving Thai food, this is the spot.

Today we got the following: Garlic Pork & Rice - My dish. Deep fried pork with garlic, what is there NOT to like?!?! I did not expect it to be bite size pieces, which made it easy to eat. The sauce was on the side, which was not really needed. My rice might have been slightly undercooked...? Very firm/hard, or was it the last of the pot? Still good, but I would preferred it softer. Wonton Noodle Soup - A classic dish, another dish that is very hard to do wrong. Both dishes were perfect quantities for us, both light eaters. No left overs. Many other menus, specials, etc. See my pictures or their website. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Much bigger than the previous location. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free metered parking after 6pm, we got here at 6:01pm, lol. Summer hours - See my pictures. Still closed Mondays. Service - Perapol is very personable. He took the time to talk with all the customers and checked up on us frequently. Price - $30 + tip.

Unfortunately, for me, it was all hype and not much substance. First off, the ambiance wasn't what I look for when dining out -- industrial, loud, and filled with metal chairs. Not exactly inviting or comfortable. I ordered two of the recommended dishes: Thai Boat Noodles and Garlic Pork with Ginger Coconut Rice. Of the two, the Thai Boat Noodles was the standout it woudl be something I'd order again. The Garlic Pork dish including the rice, though, was a letdown. It tasted okay, nothing memorable. Take a look at the photo of my entrée: it looks sad and unfinished. With so many other great Asian spots both here in Reno and back home in Minden, we won't be back.

The portions were generous with plenty of leftovers to pack up in takeout boxes for enjoying for another day. My favorite three were the ahi tuna, the black cod and the brilliant asian/french mash up of red Bean Creme Brulee. I also need to mention, I loved the lamb tenderloin. I am not a big lamb fan, but this New Zealand lamb was tender and non-gamey. The owners did an outstanding job of timing the dishes and engaging with our group while also taking care of other diners including non event patrons getting getting take-out and inhouse menu dining. The space is very small, but even with and almost full house, it didn't feel cramped.

To start, you can't go wrong with the enthusiastic welcome we always receive. Then quickly seated and wine poured. The 2026 CNY menu was fabulous, with some great surprises. The ahi tartare portion anywhere else would have been a shareable appetizer. But each person was served a large portion of delicious fresh ahi. Mmmm this course and a glass of wine could be dinner alone any other evening. The soft creamy rich egg custard was hidden under a thick seafood gravy. I really enjoyed this unique dish. The miso black cod is always flaky and delicious. And the crab fried rice it's nestled on also never disappoints. The rich New Zealand stir fried lamb and shiitake mushrooms over pea shoots was a fabulous hearty dish on this chilly March evening. The braised short ribs were so tender no knife was needed, they flaked apart with the fork. And the e mein noodles were perfectly al dente. The dinner wrapped up with a crème brûlée that only Kwok's could pull off - red bean. Creamy smooth. Not overwhelming. The perfect burnt sugar layer on top. The regular menu is just as delicious. Small inside seating area, so recommend always make a reservation. In the summer there's a fabulous patio area out front. Limited street parking.

The filling was a little bit sweet, and a little bit savory, and the shell was well fried, crispy, and not oily at all. They were offering a BOGO on the combination plate, and so that's what I went for. I had the garlic chicken, and the chicken with seasonal. Veggies. On both dishes, the chicken was moist and tender. The veggies were done well. Just the right consistency, not mushy at all. The taste was great. The only thing I could say, was, the garlic chicken was a bit spicy. About medium on what I like for spice, you could definitely see the red pepper flakes on that food. Unfortunately, nowhere in the menu did it mention the spicy part of it. I did like it, and the spice was within what I like, but I think the next time I would order something else. The fried rice was very well done with a good flavor also. It was just the rice. It had no egg or veggies in it. I had enough for two meals on the first combo, and the second one went into my portable cooler, and is going home to Sacramento with me. For all I got, the price was extremely reasonable, even if I would've gotten only one combination. Thank you very much.
