Moon Thai Kitchen NY at 438 W 238th St, Bronx, offered a broad Thai menu built around aromatic curries, wok-fried noodles, fried rice, soups, seafood, duck, salads, and shareable appetizers. Favorites included Pad Thai, Green Curry, Drunken Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice, Crispy Basil Duck, and whole Red Snapper. Drinks ranged from Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee to fruit tea, bubble tea, soda, and bottled water.
Most noodles and fried rice dishes were about $13.95, curries and entrées around $15.95, and premium chef specials roughly $20-$34. Fresh basil, lemongrass, coconut milk, lime, vegetables, peanuts, mango, and Thai chili sauces created a lively balance of sweet, sour, creamy, savory, and spicy flavors.
Vegetarian and vegan choices were plentiful, including tofu curries, Spring Rolls, Spinach Dumplings, Vegetable Noodle Soup, salads, and vegetable entrées. A dedicated gluten-free menu was not published, so sauces and cross-contact required confirmation. Salads, soups, tofu, and steamed vegetables provided lighter options. Highchairs were available, although no specific kids’ menu was listed. While operating, Moon Thai Kitchen was best suited to lunch, dinner, takeaway, family meals, and casual group dining rather than breakfast.
