About Muang Thai Restaurant

Muang Thai Restaurant, located at 7 E Front St, Red Bank, NJ 07701, USA, offers a diverse menu of Thai cuisine. While categorized as a Chinese Restaurant on this platform, Muang Thai specializes in authentic Thai flavors. You can contact them at (732) 337-4393 or +1 732-337-4393.

Customer reviews indicate that Muang Thai Restaurant boasts a gorgeous and heavily decorated environment, contributing to its attempt at a fine dining atmosphere. Popular dishes include the Penang curry and Pad Thai, which are frequently mentioned as being among their best items. The Tom Kha (coconut milk) and Tom Yum soups are also generally well-received. However, some customers found the vegetarian red curry to be just okay, and the Thai basil fried rice at medium spice was surprisingly bland for one reviewer.

The Chicken Satay appetizer and the ginger salad have been highlighted as delicious. The Red Curry Chicken was also noted as very good. In contrast, the Tom Yum Noodles with beef, while served in a large portion, was described as lacking in flavor, with the finely chopped peanuts affecting the texture.

Several reviewers commented on the pricing, suggesting that while the food is generally good, the overall value might not align with the quantity provided, especially when compared to other Thai restaurants that may offer similar quality at lower prices. There is also a warning about the significant increase in heat level between medium and spicy dishes.

A recurring concern in the reviews is the service, with some customers describing a "holier than thou" attitude and a visible displeasure when diners ask for clarifications or adjustments. Service was also noted as being slow by at least one reviewer, who also pointed out issues with table clearing.

Despite some criticisms regarding service and value, Muang Thai Restaurant is recommended by some for its ambiance and certain flavorful dishes like the Penang curry, Pad Thai, and Chicken Satay. If you are looking for a Thai dining experience in Red Bank with a visually striking setting and a large menu, Muang Thai Restaurant is worth considering. Please be aware of the platform's "Chinese Restaurant" category, as the cuisine offered is primarily Thai.

The Penang curry is one of their best items along with Pad Thai. The red curry (vegetarian version) was okay. The Tom Kha (coconut milk) and Tom Yum soups were very good. For the price, I thought the spring rolls were tiny. The Thai basil fried rice was absolutely bland at medium spice surprisingly. The restaurant is gorgeous and the food overall was very good. Was it worth the price? No, especially when you finished the quantity. There are similarly good Thai restaurants at lower prices though maybe not easy to find in Jersey. Muang Thai is an attempt to be fine dining which it achieves through the food and ambience but not service. Be warned the jump in heat from medium to spicy is 2-3x the usual expectation and can get quite hot. Sadly, I will corroborate what most others are saying about the service here - they have a holier than thou attitude and are visibility piqued when you ask for clarification or adjustments as though there is a lack of comprehension or surprise for the need.

A big 4 1/2 stars for Muang Thai restaurant. Went here on a recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. So much decoration everywhere it took us a while to order since we were caught up in looking at everything. The menu is quite large, so have an idea of what you are looking for. The Chicken Satay appetizer was amazing followed by this delicious little ginger salad. The Red Curry Chicken was very good and the Tom Yum Noodles with beef was a large portion but lacked in flavor and the peanuts were chopped a little too small making the noodles a bit gritty. The service was a little slow and I don't understand why waiters don't remove the plates from the first course before bringing the second course... IDK. All in all it's a fine place to go so check it out.

Our friend found this place on Yelp. The place has very authentic and traditional interiors. Staff was professional. Pros- the good was really good! We had the curry puffs, Tom yum (without the coconut milk), vegetarian noodles, pad thai with vegetables and tofu - all were delicious, fresh and flavorful. The portions were hearty as well. Cons - the place is not kid friendly, our friends had a baby, they did not have high chairs and did not allow strollers in, so was uncomfortable. The other con is price, was steep for the place, felt expensive. Overall good experience but given the price, would need to think twice to consider revisiting.

My favorite Thai restaurant and worth the hour drive. I recommend the spring rolls and the pineapple fried rice with chicken. It’s more expensive than alternative restaurants and in my opinion well worth it. You can tell in the food quality, how top tier it really is. It is also BYOB and they don’t charge for opening the bottle or for an ice bucket which is rare in Red Bank. I’m so happy I discovered this place! 10/10 customer service as well!

Delicious!! Quaint little place with all of the Thai feels. It was a bit warm inside such a small space but I did ask to lower the heat and they kindly did 😊 Ate here with 2 other couples for the first time. It’s a byob just to let you know. Our waitress was very nice and quick with everything. From appetizers to dessert it was all delicious.
