Moo Yai is a must try! You are going to get an authentic home cooked Thai dinner made by a little grandma in a cute comfy low key joint. Stroll in off the beach and get your fill of perfectly executed dishes at a fair price point. It's a family run place and you get a true sense of welcome and comfort. Bring a friends and bring your own beer or wine You walk in order at the counter and grab your own spot. I had the drunken noodles and had it "Thai Hot" not for the faint of heart the noodles were MAGNIFICENT spicy and delicious!!! The chicken dumplings were also yumtastic! And actually a necessary to bring down the flaming hot super fresh noodle dish. I'm going back for the curry and some puff pastry appetizers!!! Home run!!!!!! read more

It was ok, overrated in my opinion. I found the pad Thai and pad see ew without flavor. They are local so I might give them another chance. read more

Moo Yai Thai - Shrimp pad se ew - Thai Near Me - Sea Bright, New Jersey

We ordered takeout from Moo Yai Thai and had a horrible experience that ended with me currently caring for my pregnant wife who is now throwing up. When we started eating, something seemed off with the food. The taste and smell weren't quite right, but we initially gave the benefit of the doubt. Shortly after, my pregnant wife became sick and started vomiting, which made it clear something wasn't right. I called the restaurant to explain what happened and requested a refund given the situation. Instead of handling it professionally, I was passed between multiple people, each one dismissing the concern. I was told "that's not how refunds work" and that they had "been serving it all day," as if that ruled out any issue. The final person I spoke with was especially unprofessional. He was immediately aggressive, dismissive, and more interested in arguing than listening or taking the situation seriously. I usually go out of my way not to leave negative reviews because anyone can have a bad day. But the way this was handled from the immediate defensiveness, the lack of concern, and the dismissal of a pregnant woman getting sick was honestly alarming. The reaction almost felt rehearsed, which raises even more concern about how situations like this are handled or how often they encounter them. I would be very cautious ordering from here. read more

Very disappointed with this shrimp pad Thai. Maybe the worst I've ever had. Barely tasted like anything other that plain linguine and a few shrimp. Very little egg. Not one bean sprout!!! Not one piece of tofu!!! No visible garlic!!! Had some peanut and a quarter wedge of lime. Two half inch pieces of garlic chive!!!!! Unreal! No sauces on the side. I feel like I went to a Chinese place and they made me a make believe pad Thai. Nice people though. Food not so much. Dueces I hated having to write this btw. Not my style but way to much money to spend on something I threw out. read more

I was looking forward to trying this little restaurant after passing it so many times. I had a craving for pad Thai and stopped in. The place is very cute and the staff couldn't be nicer. I ordered shrimp pad Thai and the papaya salad to go. When I got home and opened the pad Thai I didn't recognize what I saw. It was a big block of very wet noodles in a red sauce with just a couple of tablespoons of chopped peanuts on the side and a wedge of lime. There were six very large and tasty shrimp. And what looked like possibly some small strands of egg. I revisited the reviews for the restaurant and did see that people were underwhelmed with the pad Thai and felt it was too sweet. I noticed that the proprietor said that this was authentic pad Thai. So I looked online for recipes and couldn't not find anything that looked like this pad Thai. It tasted good but there were so many noodles in this red sauce that I ended up throwing out most of the dish. I expected some tofu, drier noodles with a nice tamarind sauce, some greens, visible egg, maybe some bean sprouts. The papaya salad was fresh and tasted just OK. All in all I spent nearly $40 for a take out lunch that was very disappointing. read more

Everything on a skewer is great! They also manage to fry without greasiness, if you like crispiness this is your spot. Pad basil rocks.

I love this place. The food is great, the owners are friendly, and it's clean. Our favorites are the basil fried rice, dumplings, spring rolls, and pork larb. All amazing. read more

Tried this spot tonight for the first time and dined inside. No waitress service you order at counter and eat out of the plastic Pad Thai was pretty solid! Thats all I had read more

Food was tasty. Over priced for portion size. Will not return Service good A bit weird that you eat out of takeout plates, but it does cut down on washing for them. Not as good as expected based on Ddd. read more

Always delicious and the owners are lovely. Wish they delivered but it is worth the ride over.

The pad thai is way too sweet, and not flavorful. I am not sure why Drive ins and Dives put them on the show. There are plenty of Thai restaurant that deserves the DDD but not Moo yai thai. I gave it 2 chances and both are disappointing. They charge $2.5 for water when it should be free. Sorry only 1 star from us! read more

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch on our way to the Jersey shore. Oh my god!!! We had the sampler, pad Thai with chicken and pad kee mao. My god, you didn't know what to eat first. They also gave us a complimentary soup since they are celebrating their anniversary. We couldn't stop talking about the food the rest of the ride down. Such a great family vibe and we even took a pic with grandma. Can't wait to stop in again when we come down to the shore. The dining room isn't open off season but they let you eat your food in the dining room. Such a great bargain from such a great family. read more

Food was really good. No complaints there! It was a super small restaurant so it would have been nice to have actual plates and utensil instead of takeout containers. It wouldn't stop me from ordering again, but I may not dine-in. (3.5 stars) read more

I love Thai food and after a relatively long stint in the Los Angeles area for 7 years, I came back to NJ and tried to keep up with my Thai food journey. LA offers a lot of Thai cuisine but not NJ. I was driving by Rt 36 at Sea Bright when I saw the sign for Moo Yai Thai and came here for lunch the next day in the afternoon. Now the core: Ambiance : 3.5/5 Service : 4/5 Taste / Flavor / Authenticity: 4.75/5 Presentation of the food: 5/5 Price: $$$ pricey place. Plus they charge over 3% if you use your credit card. I'll give 2.5/5 Price of Spicy Thai Basil ground Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) was about $18, which seems on the higher side to me. Others may have their own opinion. Also I felt the Jasmin rice didn't have that aroma. Flavor - on point excellent. Bottom line - I'll go there again and it is one of the best in the area. read more

Moo Yai Thai - spicy thai basil with ground chicken, with a fried egg on the side. (Pad Krapow Gai) - Thai Near Me - Sea Bright, New Jersey

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! read more

Had delicious noodles. Only down side is there was no sit down service, only take out. But we ate it on the beach so really can't complain.

Casual BYOB restaurant with a max capacity of 25. Fairly small. Friendly service. While they did come to our table and take our order it feels more like a counter service place. In the summer they open these little garage door windows which is nice. I've had three meals there and they are all great. Every time I ordered I was told it'd be spicy and it was. However, I have noticed that every meal kind of taste the same with the same spice and level of spice. I ordered the Thai Fried Rice, Pad Kee Mao, and Pad Prik Khing and while great they kind of tasted the same with different ingredients. Overall I'd recommend though. read more

Food was delicious. we truly enjoyed the appetizer sampler. looking forward to returning. well worth the one hour drive.

Dinner cost $62. for 2 dinners, 1 pint of soup & 1 appetizer. The food was tasteless. Straight to the trash.

Hands down...the best Thai food I've had in a very long time. Not only was the food delicious, but Moo Yai Thai has an extensive gluten free menu! I have a gluten sensitivity, so I am usually restricted to just Pad Thai. I was able to enjoy other Thai dishes on the menu, which would otherwise be "gluten-filled." Very tasty! Don't let the gluten-free option fool you. Gluten-free doesn't mean taste-free! Also, the owner, Jay, provided great customer service. Their restaurant set-up and ordering process demonstrated great practice of social distancing during this crazy COVID pandemic. Will definitely become a regular at this new found gem during my frequent bike excursions down at the Jersey Shore. Thank you! read more

The Curry Puffs were awesome! So happy to stumble upon this place! Loved the Mango Sticky rice!!!

Way good! Best Thai in a long time. It was our first time coming to Seabright and decided to give this spot a try. We ordered drunken noodle with shrimp and a Thai green curry with chicken. It was the best Thai I've had in a very long time and I live near Manhattan. This was for take out due to the COVID restrictions, but all the measures were taken for customer and employee safety. The food was incredibly tasty, extra hot (warmth) which was needed as we ate outside, and well seasoned. For the drunken noodle with shrimp, I must say it looked more pad Thai with thin noodles as I expect the drunken noodles to be double in size at least. So not sure if that's the dish or it was a mistake but I didn't care. The shrimp were AMAZING! Soft and tender, full of flavour, there were a lot of them too! Thai green curry had a bit of a kick, rice wasn't dry at all. I appreciated the assortment of veggies with eggplant and peppers. Overall, bold flavors, quality products and quick and attentive service. Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

My wife and I were denied dining in since they were closing in like 25 mins so we decided to take out. We ordered Drunken Noodles with chicken, Green curry with shrimp and the fried pork appetizer. I had asked before ordering the fried pork if they recommended getting the fried or grilled pork appetizer and went with the fried since that was recommended. While waiting for the food my wife and I sat at the table by the door. About 5 minutes later the guy who took our order brought a plate of the fried pork and just said he brought it in case we were hungry. Based on what was said, we assumed he was being nice and giving us some complimentary food. When we got home we realized he served us our appetizer. I was disappointed since I wanted to put some in my Drunken Noodles and would've wanted to dip the rest in some sauce. I also felt taken since I left a bigger tip thinking he comped us. The other food was average so I doubt I'll be back. read more

Our first time visit today for lunch with my wife. We were greeted by a nice gentleman named Jason as we were seated. My wife an I started with Thai Iced Teas. I was hungry so I started with the Shrimp Tom Yum soup, which was really very nice- not too spicy like I've had in other Thai restaurants, it was very flavorable however , the shrimp were tender even in the soup and the mushrooms were fresh. My wife had Sweet and Sour Shrimp, which was cooked perfectly. I had the Shrimp Pad Thai, which was really great! The Shrimp were tender and the noodles were not soft, just right. We finished things off by splitting a Sticky Rice and Mango dessert, which was also terrific. I would highly recommend for authentic Thai food. We can't wait to go back! read more
