The staff were very friendly, patient and accommodating since we also dined with a toddler. The ambiance is definitely cozy and intimate and the most people i'd bring is 3 , i wouldn't recommend a large group for a birthday but it's a great date spot! We ordered a few of their best dishes and everything was delicious! A couple dishes were a tad too spicy for me even though i asked for mild but that's just me as a non-spice eater Aside from the spice, the flavors were amazing! the duck curry was the best! the duck was super tender and it complemented well with some rice. I loved their salads but i do wish their salad with the raw blue crab had more pieces of crab but the pieces i did have, were very sweet and creamy! they ran out of mango so we weren't able to order their mango sticky rice but we ordered their durian sticky rice and it was delicious! It is a warm dessert and it tasted very good, not too sweet! I'd recommend this place for a friend!

So, I've known about this place forever, but haven't been able to go…read more Finally make it during lunch and I loved it. Service: it's nice. They definitely didn't tell me that lunch specials were available before I ordered my soup. Other than that, everyone is pleasant. Space: they have two sides, so plenty of space, but nights and weekends can get pretty packed, so keep that in mind. Food: I ordered Tom Yum soup and a lunch drunken noodle with a Thai iced tea. I only had the soup there and took the entire lunch special to go. Just based off of the soup, I will be going back. It was delicious and PACKED to the MAX! Writing this now, I can still imagine. Drunken Noodles were also really tasty. I like mine spicy and it could have been made spicier, but that's not even a real complaint. Also- the one next to me had this dish which reminded me of pad see ew but in a gravy. Looked delicious!! I will be back for whatever she had. Overall: the entire block is like a little Thai street. There are lots of Thai food options and I finally made it to Ayada. Super happy with my meal and excited to go back with some people and enjoy.

the wait was too long for saranrom thai AND hug esan :(…read more this place was rlly good though! the chive cakes were a sleeper hit: crispy on the outside and so chewy and soft on the inside almost mochi like probably best chive cakes i've had at a thai place. discovered i don't like raw crab would not recommend the salad very ocean flavored. crispy duck panang curry was yummy not the best duck i've had but very good and the curry sauce was delish. mango sticky rice a hit as always the rice was very warm and subtly sweet and the mango was decently fresh. i will say it's a bit expensive for the amount you get but otherwise yummy!

I do wish the tables and seating were more comfortable-the tables are cute- they are made out of old singer sewing bases. However cuz the bases are narrow your knees constantly bump into it The chairs/benches are also very narrow so keep this in mind as you won't be sitting there long. The food was fairly priced for the portions and was cooked to order. I did wish that my fish dish was on the crispier side but it was very flavorful and pungent. The soup has a nice kick to it and our appetizer was delicious. Would def go back again to try more items.

Such a cute interior, although a bit tight! And would be tough for a big group to get a table! But I want to go back already to try difference dishes!!

A bit different from the Thai food you're probably used to but change is sometimes good!…read moreWe had some of the best fish and chicken we've ever had and also loved the starter salad. Chicken was so so crispy and you could just head the crunch with every bite. Fish was also great and prepared really well. Staff were nice and could help you with recommendations as needed! It's not a huge establishment and is pretty popular so you may want to expect a wait time I believe it's cash only so bring cash!

Got us some waters to the table pretty quickly and put in the food orders after much deliberation. Needed up with the soup Noodle boat and the beef krapow.

Super authentic flavor that stays in your soul after eating. Th e beef noodle soup was insane an so flavorful. Everything was amazing and on par with being in Thailand. Ambiance was pretty casual and cozy. You will have a great time.

This time was no exception. The flavors were unique, the noodles were exceptional, the meat was tender, the level of spice was good, and the portion was pretty big. The amount of the protein was generous and the extra protein gave it an extra touch, We shared the shrimp dumplings, the texture , and the flavor was marvelous. The services were nice, super attentive, and polite, she did a great job with the table. The ambiance is pretty chill and can be romantic.

The food here is seriously always so good and the service is extremely quick. The small shop only has limited seating but the food gets prepared in a blink of the eye. My go to here is always the pad Thai. My only complaint is that the dried tofu use to be a lot better and use to soak up the delicious sauces making every bite of tofu super flavorful. They did change their tofu a few years ago but the flavor of the pad Thai is still one of my favorite around so I have learned to accept it and move past it. Definitely one of my favorite Thai places and I could just be biased from my childhood memories but the pad Thai will definitely never disappoint!

I dined in for lunch & at the end of my meal, I asked for a to go box. As I was done packing my meal to bring home, I noticed not one but two insects crawling inside my container. It is likely (I hope) it was just the container that contained these bugs. But it is not exactly how I expected to end my meal. As I paid, no one seemed to care for the insects that I found inside, I even brought to the attention of the staff that gave me the container where they also visibly saw the bugs still crawling. It makes me question the cleanliness of my meal & the location overall. This is extremely disappointing.

I genuinely don't understand the hype around Zaab Zaab Elmhurst. We ordered the fried rice, drunken…read morenoodles, pad kra pao, and the ribeye steak. The steak was the only dish that showed any sign of life. Everything else tasted as if it had been rinsed with water before being served--completely stripped of seasoning, aroma, and any trace of authentic Thai flavor. It's astonishing that a restaurant with such a strong reputation could produce food that's less flavorful than the faux Thai takeout spots tucked inside Chinese restaurants off the Ohio Turnpike. That's not an exaggeration. What's even more baffling is the location. In the heart of Queens, surrounded by Thai restaurants serving bold, vibrant, unapologetically flavorful food, Zaab Zaab somehow manages to be a culinary desert. The fried rice was bland, the drunken noodles were lifeless, and the pad kra pao lacked the punch, basil, heat, and savoriness that define the dish. It honestly felt as though the menu had been engineered for diners who think black pepper is adventurous. Instead of authentic Thai flavors, everything seemed toned down to the point of being unrecognizable. For a restaurant with this reputation, the meal was a massive letdown. There are countless nearby Thai restaurants that deliver the bold, aromatic flavors Thailand is known for. Save your money and your appetite for one of them.

Surf & turf skewers: My least favorite dish of the night. I found most of the skewers a bit dry. Larb beef & tripe: the Larb was super flavorful and delicious. We got a side of sticky rice as well and it paired really nicely together. Crab fried rice: Generous amount of crab and nice wok hay. The rice also had a nice chew to it that I enjoyed. Salt encrusted tilapia: I wish there was a bigger vermicelli noodle portion on the side but I really liked the tilapia. It was perfectly cooked and fell off the bone and the sauce complemented it perfectly. Don't forget to remove the salt crust!

This spot is a 3-table operation focused entirely on perfecting Thai chicken rice--and they nailed it. ​The move here: ​The Chicken: Poached to absolute perfection. Tender, juicy, no fluff. ​The MVP: The chicken heart. It was so good I had to double down and order a second round. If you know, you know. ​The Rice: Fragrant ginger rice that actually has flavor, paired with a radish broth that hits the spot. ​The Sauce Science: They let you mix your own. I went with the soybean paste + ginger-scallion combo. It's addictive. Do not skip the ginger-scallion. ​Washed it all down with a solid Thai tea to balance the heat.

4.5 We really liked…read morethe food here. Got the chicken set for 2. Each bite of chicken/gizzard/liver and rice with the condiments was flavorful. Wished there was more liver. Like a deconstructed and dry version of a filipino soup I love called Chicken Tinola, with similar ingredients too. The set came with soup - was mild and good. I added a bit of the ginger-scallion condiment and liked that too. I think it's the first time I tried Thai iced green tea - slightly sweet for me but lighter bec with half and half. Couldn't give this place a 5 stars though because of the heat. We went there when it was at least 90 degrees, and didn't know it wasn't air-conditioned. There was only 1 oscillating fan which was only ok when it was pointed at our direction. Once it turned, I had to keep fanning myself. The iced drink was refreshing but wasn't enough. We would have left if only we weren't set on trying their Hainan chicken. Will surely return, on a not so hot day. Service was great. Food came out quickly. It must've felt hotter for the staff being in the kitchen but they still had smiles. Nearest train station is Elmhurst Ave stop of M, R and some bus lines along Broadway, but not too far from Roosevelt Ave-Jackson Hts station. Has 4 small tables, and counter seating for 3. No restroom. Cash only.
