What a cool spot! Small and intimate on fredericksburg rd near downtown! Food was stellar, they executed these dishes perfectly besides the satay chicken skewers. Raw on the inside, however the owner made it right and remade the skewers! Definitely will be back! Beware, spice level 1-4. Don't choose 3, super spicy! Must do a 1-2 next time! read more

Moo Deng Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My friend suggested we meet at this place for lunch, and when I saw the sign outside, I knew it must be a new place, based on the name. Moo Deng the baby hippo went viral just last year. The posted Certificate of Occupancy said October 2024. She ordered Pad Thai and I ordered Pad See Ewe. The food was delivered with minimal wait. I was surprised at the cost. Each lunch was $12.99 plus they charged extra to add meat. I asked for water to drink, assuming it would be tap, but they gave me a bottle so my lunch was $20.05 before tip. My food was not very good. I picked at it, then took most of it home. My brother, who is a pickier eater than me, loved it. My friend's Pad Thai was so salty she could not eat it. She sent it back and they were great about it: gave her a full refund, offered to make her something else, and gave her a free tea. I believe this place has the potential to be really good, based on their willingness to serve their customers and provide a good experience. They should start having lunch specials. read more

My dude and I ordered for takeout last night and the notification that food was ready came when we were still driving over. The restaurant itself is tiny, and really adorable - the tables are small so takeout is honestly probably the way to go, but it wasn't busy at all and eating there wouldn't have been awful either. I'm allergic to imitation crab so I was excited that they had just cheese rolls - not being able to partake in cheese rolls and rangoons at other restaurants is such a bummer so this was already a big plus. I got the panang beef (spice level 2) and the mister got chicken pad thai (spice level 3). The panang beef was very impressive, and they gave a good amount more meat for the portion size than many other local Thai restaurants. The portion size for the pad thai was generous for the price also. The spice levels were on the spicier side compared to a lot of local Thai places as well, which was a pleasant surprise for us but might catch others off guard. Overall, it's a small, simple spot with fast service and quick food. The one thing I will say about the restaurant is that the bathroom door barely is able to close, and there's a door that looks like it leads to the kitchen area directly which felt a little iffy to me,, but nothing worth dwelling on. read more

We came to visit just a few days after they opened. The restaurant is very small and the crowd was very large. There was very limited seating plus the order line runs through the center of the business. They seemed to be working out the wrinkles. A sign directs customers to order before sitting. I believe the order window was also supposed to be the pick up window, as you are given a beeper to notify when the food is ready. However, I think because the line was constant they had someone running the food out. Anyway, at the last minute, we changed our order to take it to go because it just felt too cramped in there. The food was delicious! We ordered the pad see ew with tofu, the fried dumplings, and the basil fried rice. The dumplings were incredible. A tiny, perfect package of flavor. The noodle were super flavorful and tossed with crispy veggies and tofu. The tofu was perfectly crispy and honestly I couldn't get enough. I will definitely come back for the tofu options. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice, but it was very flavorful. There was just not enough contrast in textures for me. I'm absolutely coming back for more! read more

Moo Deng Thai Restaurant - From left, basil rice with beef, fried dumplings, pad see ew with tofu... Plus a pond of Sriracha. - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food was very good! I love that they offer a range of "spice". They have a tiny parking lot which filled up fast at dinner time. The seating area was a closed in patio. No Ac, which was fine when I went but might be uncomfortable during the summer. Might just have to do Togo. I got the Chicken Pad Thai. I'm alway hesitant about how peanuty Pad Thai will be, but there's was perfect. I got 0 spice but they offer a range of spice. read more

Love this local spot in the neighborhood. The space is small, with limited indoor seating. The food is delicious and freshly made every time I go. I've never had an issue with an in-person or online order either, thank goodness. The menu has been revamp a couple of times and new items were added each time. The basil fried rice is always my fav. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. IMO the heat options are spicier than other Thai places I've tried, but I'm not complaining. Just keep that in mind when ordering and selecting your spice level. All drinks, except for the Thai teas, are bottles for purchase. I really wish they would have a free water station as an option. Hoping this is something they will consider. Also, consider the time of day when sitting near the non-tinted windows since the sun can get pretty intense. read more

Please update your hours. I was charged for the food I ordered just to show up and no one was working.

New Thai food restaurant, just want San Antonio needed!! I got the Punang Curry with chicken and it was amazing. The flavor is so good, I got it spicy and it was the perfect amount of heat. Really large portion too. The protein is not included in the price and I didn't see where menu listed price of each protein so I would recommend that they add the pricing to be more transparent. (My bill was a little pricier than expected) The rice it came with didn't seem fresh, it wasn't bad, but just didn't seem like fresh rice to me. I wish there was a larger portion of rice to go with curry because they give you so much (enough to have a little leftovers). I also got spicy edamame and it wasn't quite what I expected. It was more lightly seasoned with pepper flakes, but I usually prefer the kind that comes coated in a spicy garlic or chili sauce. There's a lot of other things on the menu that'd I'd like to try like their wings, but if nothing else, I'd come back for the curry! San Antonio doesn't have many Thai options, so I think overall this is a solid place. Very kind and friendly service! Limited seating inside - order and take a seat with buzzer kind of place. I think most people take their orders to go. Would recommend! read more

Moo Deng was so nice, clean, very pleaseant atmosphere. I ordered the Pad Thai at the spiciest level and it easily was the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot). The owner told me it was her authentic personal recipe, and both she and the staff were very kind and eager to serve. The Pad Thai was so well dressed and the chicken and tofu were cooked nicely, and the spice level (Thai Hot) was flavorful beyond my expectation. It came with peanuts, bean sprouts, and a lime wedge! Needless to say I demolished my entire plate. I will definitely be coming to Moo Deng often, and so will my family. We left with more Pad Thai to go for my dad! read more

My best friend and I decided to try this new place, we were the only ones there around 11:30. I had the Pad Woon sen and asked for it to be a little spicy. They added red pepper flakes on top for the spiciness. It's was a little dry, it was okay. My friend had Pad Thai, and she said it was good, spice level 2. We also had regular spring rolls and shrimp spring rolls, nothing special about them. They were good. We had bottled water with our meal. When we were there the young lady at the register had some issues, with the order, register and calculating change. I told her to take her time, since no one else was in line. It's a nice little place, they do have vents on the ceiling for a/c, but it was a little warm. When we left 7 people entered. I would go again and try a different menu item. read more

You'll be served out of a styrofoam to go container even if you dine in but charged table service price. The food was okay but I've only been once. Can't speak to consistency. Charming building. Cool location. Hope they can pull it together. read more

What a delightful lil place! Food was delicious!! I had the Pad See Ewe (tofu) at Moo Deng (which even by NYC standards where Thai restaurants give one lots to write home about) was y u m m y!! The sauce had just the right spice, tang, sweet, salty and unami. Noodles were a beautiful silky texture with just enough lil broccoli florets, egg and bite sized marinated tofu pieces. If you don't give this new lil neighborhood spot a visit... you're missing out! read more

It is a small cozy restaurant. Food is freshly cooked so it will take a little bit of time. Owner and staff are pleasant and helpful. Language is a small issue so a little patience will be worth the great food. My favorite food was the Pad Thai. My family and I have gone back several times. read more

Fantastic food, very friendly staff. I would highly recommend Moo Deng to friends and family.

The pad thai and pad won se were so delicious and flavorful! The chicken wings were crispy and delicious as well. The thai teas was so fresh as well. Highly recommend this place. read more

Overpriced for what you get. Which would be ok, but they hide the prices of when you add a protein. I ordered a beef pad thai thinking it would be the listed 12$ price, but it's actually 18$ when she rings you up. Paid 39$ for 1beef pad thai and 1 chicken penang curry plus 1 coke (since they dont serve free water). Would rather go somewhere else to spend 40$ for 2 dishes and tiny portions of protein. I'm glad to see a new establishment in the area to revitalize 5 points, but falls short on value. read more
