Thai Bella Moab

Dining★ 4.5
Interior of a restaurant dining room in Arches National Park near Moab, with wooden tables and ceiling fans.

Pad Thai arrives with tender noodles and a crisp peanut bite, all swirled in a zesty, bright sauce. Drunken Noodles carry a bold heat that pops against the veggies, while Khao Soi glides in with creamy coconut curry and crispy noodles for real comfort. Tom Kah Coconut Soup delivers a very flavorful, coconut-forward punch, and Green Curry keeps a balanced mix of spice, sweetness, and savor. The cozy 1896 cottage setting and generous portions make it a post-hike reward worth every bite.
