    Solid spot for Thai in Reno! Wow I'm glad they're here Spicy is no joke. Was asked how spicy I wanted something on a number scale and wow it was a lot more spicy than I expected so I need to get a lower number next time Food is so good! Popular for sure, gets busy in there

    ordered the chicken krapow and thai tea to go. it was ready when i got there, and the food was good! the thai tea was sweet, and the chicken krapow was spicy and flavorful. the rice helped balanced it out. it had a little too much sauce for my preference, but still good!

    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!

    We did take out. Unfortunately the wait for food was extremely long though it didn't seem very busy. The good thing is the food was fresh and delicious. While we waited, we liked the ambiance and decor/merch.

    Moo Dang fried rice
    Jim W.

    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!

    I don't know why it has took me so long to try this place. I have heard nothing but good things. I was not disappointed. I came with a group of friends so. I was able to try a couple things. The pad Thai was flavorful but a bit sweet for me. I added their chili oil and it made such a difference. I'll order it but with more spice next time. The Panang curry was good with lots of veggies. I ordered the coconut soup. If you like coconut soup this will hit the spot. My son ordered mango sticky rice for dessert. It was delicious but could use more sauce but that's just my preference. A friend of mine ordered the crab fried rice. I don't get a picture but that dish definitely stole the show. It had lots of crab mixed throughout and some on top. The flavor of the rice was to die for. Service was great even with it being busy. They had a full house and the wait for food was not long. The server was attentive. They had only one bathroom but it was clean at least.

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

My favorite dishes are the kung pao chicken and their pork fried rice, but they have several other popular dishes, especially their rangoons. The portions are large and entrees don't typically come with rice, so it is best to order dishes family style to be shared. I can't wait to return, I am excited to try their Mongolian beef next!

As for the satay, they accidentally brought out chicken satay at first, which our server immediately noticed and rectified the issue. When the tofu satay came out, it ended up being skewers of fried tofu puffs that you'd dip into their peanut sauce. While delicious, I was hoping there would be more creativity in layering or marinating the tofu with the sauce like the chicken satay would have been. As a Californian, I appreciated the lower pricing for their menu items and found it fairly inexpensive given the times.
