GREAT place, wish we'd tried it sooner! Got the beef fried rice (hot) and chicken Pad Thai (medium hot). Both were wonderful, and the portions were huge, enough of each for a second meal. The shrimp spring rolls were incredible. Very fresh The peanut vinaigrette that came with them was a REVELATION. I could drink it by itself. The crab rangoons were also big, and very generously filled. The shell was perfectly crispy and these things were SUPER hot and fresh. Like just came out of the oil. The way we remember crab rangoons as a kid. These are hard to find. Where most places fall short, Thai Zappz does not. Cannot say enough good things. 10/10. We will be back, and very soon.
What a FIND!!! This food was outstanding. We both had Pad Thai with Shrimp. So fresh and tasty. We were there at lunch and had a very generous portion with many shrimp. The service is great and the restaurant is extremely clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The place is a little hard to find but certainly worth it. Just drive behind the O'Reilly's auto store on Metcalf. You will be glad you did!!
Our go-to for Thai take out. We order about once a week. The Pad Thai is the best we've had in the city. Chicken always fresh and tasty. The spice level just right and a large portion size for your money! Fast turnaround. I have gluten allergy and have never had a problem there.
I ❤️❤️❤️ dining here! The food is fabulous, delicious, and authentic! The owners are wonderful and such nice people! Whenever we stop in, they greet us and we have a good time! I've read a lot of negative reviews below and they are absolutely not true! Try the Crab Fried Rice, the Thom Kha (Coconut Soup) and Chicken Satay! Come and enjoy yourself here with your family! You will not be disappointed! 🙏🏾❤️
This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in the metro! Wonderful balanced flavors, generous portions, thoughtful and kind servers, and a spacious relaxing environment. Can't wait to come back to try more. Don't sleep on this place! Panang Curry was 💯
Highly recommend the massaman curry; best I've had so far. Got a mild heat level and still found it spicy compared to some of the other 'mild' Thai dishes I've gotten in the area.
Stopped for lunch based on reviews and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is comfy, clean and spacious. The service was excellent and the lunch specials hit the mark. I’d eat here weekly if I lived in the area. great find!
The food here is amazing! Everything I've had is so fresh and hot. This is my favorite place for Pad Thai but everything is delish! Even to go orders stay hot for the drive home!
Very nice. Excellent food and service. Try the coconut soup --truly amazing!
We ordered lunch to go and it was OUTSTANDING! Best Panang curry I've had! We'll be back soon!
