Their service is great!!! Normally we go here and the good is really good!! Today- was a different story, the food was not up to their normal standards. Could have just been an off day.

Good food, lovely owners, very accommodating to dietary restrictions

Moo Yai Thai has become an absolute favorite for my wife and me, and we can't recommend it enough! My wife has celiac disease and a dairy allergy, so eating out can sometimes be challenging, but the staff here are incredibly knowledgeable about food allergies. They are meticulous in ensuring her meal is safe, and after dining at Moo Yai Thai well over 50 times, she has never gotten sick—a testament to their dedication and care.
As for the food, I’ve made it my mission to try almost everything on their menu, and it’s all amazing. That said, there are some standout dishes I keep coming back to. The **Tom Yum Soup** is a flavor explosion—perfectly balanced with tangy, spicy, and savory notes. The **Pad Thai with Peanut Sauce on the Side** is a comforting classic, done exceptionally well. If you’re a fan of pork dishes, the **Pad Basil with Pork** and the **Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Pork** are must-tries—they pack just the right amount of heat and are bursting with flavor.
Whether you have dietary restrictions or are just looking for consistently delicious Thai food, Moo Yai Thai delivers every time. It's a gem in Sea Bright that we feel lucky to have in our rotation!

The service was terrific. We were greeted with smiles and a very attentive waitress. The food is good but it is served takeout style so you're eating out of the plastic containers. It was worth the drive to see bright Northampton County Pennsylvania we saw the Diners Drive-Ins and dives episode and decided to check it out beautiful day down the shore!

Fresh, delicious, authentic food, served in an unfussy simple way-(take-out style). It’s handmade with love which takes a bit longer, but worth the wait! Highly recommend supporting a small family owned business!

This is probably the best Thai restaurant in NJ, offering the closest experience to authentic Thai cuisine we've found. It's a lovely, family-owned establishment that truly values quality without inflating prices. After enjoying incredible Thai food in Atlanta, we were disappointed by the high-priced, low-quality offerings in NJ. Thankfully, we discovered this gem—finally, a place that serves genuinely authentic Thai dishes. We will keep returning back.

Meant more for take out. They do not have staff to serve and only a few tables. They serve in take out boxes. But the food was yummy. Nothing much about the ambience...

Had an amazing green curry with pork. The portion was huge and some of the best flavors ive tasted. They didnt have table service but you can sit down and eat inside. Great value for amazing authentic thai food
The best Thai food I have ever had. The place was very nicely decorated with colorful pinks and fresh flowers on each table making it inviting. The food was excellent and very authentic. I highly recommend the Thai Sweet Tea as well

Hands down, best Thai food in the area. I have been to Thailand on a number of occasions and this is the only spot in Monmouth county (and New Jersey as far as I've found) that even comes close. Beyond that the owners are unbelievably friendly, helpful, and kind.I really can't sing the praises of Moo Yai enough. Everytime we are in Sea Bright it's a must stop. Looking forward to years and years of meals from this gem of a local staple.As far as our specific order. Papaya salad is a must and I am an absolute sucker for the pad basil with pork. My wife loves their gluten free mindfulness and my son absolutely crushes anything with a good flat noodle (in fact, I sent him to daycare today with leftover pad woonsen for lunch!)
Dietary restrictions: My wife has celiacs and never has a problem. We've been dining here since they opened and it's never been an issue. The staff are mindful and supportive of her restriction.
Kid-friendliness: Our son loves going! The fish tank is an easy distraction while we eat.
