Mon Asian Market Restaurant in New Bern is a hidden gem for authentic Thai cuisine, and it easily takes the crown for the best Thai food in town. As a combination of a market and restaurant, this spot offers a unique experience for anyone looking to explore authentic Asian flavors.

I normally don’t go out of my way to leave reviews. But this hidden gem is literally my new go to for spicy food. I usually get curry at a level 3 when trying new places out to test the waters so to speak. Within seconds I’m sweating and my mouth is on fire. But let me tell you, the curry is so good that I would just keep fighting through that feeling. It really is the best curry I’ve had in a while. I got the egg stir fry noodles for my daughter and she is very very picky about what she eats. She was taking fist fulls of noodles and just devouring them like it was going out of style. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. 100% will be back. Also: let me add I lived in Hong Kong 5 years, was able to travel to various locations such as Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, etc. this is the most authentic food you will find around this area. The prices reflect that but you get what...

I came in the market at approx 1pm..1 couple was dining another lady was shopping. The cooks were wiping down and the cashier was helping the lady shopping. The cook looked and stared at me..when I nodded hello she quickly turned around. The cashier comes back to her post and I step up to place my drink ONLY order. She never acknowledges me..and she then leaves the register and disappears.That's when I leave. Not one person spoke to me ...there were 3 patrons in the place. So rush hour wasn't an issue. But what was the issue. I was smiling ..I acknowledged the cook..she looked and walked away. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME ....what the heck was that. This place is walking distance from my job. But I would rather eat bird food, then to ever go back to thaty establishment again!!!

I will say the place is extremely clean. But...
