    This review will strictly be for the fries as that was all I had gotten from this spot in Essex Market. I have no idea what Zaab seasoning meant but was very intrigued since I was watching the chef cook and all the food looked and smelled incredible. The fries were fried to absolute perfection in my opinion and the spices and seasoning that they were tossed in were so perfectly balanced and had just the right amount of kick that it left me wanting more. Definitely eat it while it's hot because they'll be nice and crispy. I saw an isan burger on their menu and I'd be very interested in coming back to try it!

    My fellow burger bozo and I have had Zaab Zaab on our radar for a while now and finally had an opportunity to try it before heading to a comedy show. Ordering was seamless through the kiosk, receiving the receipt and notification that the food was ready by text. We chose to try the Isan burger and the Ka Pow. The isan burger was deliciously spicy and the Ka Pow was super flavorful. Both were cooked perfectly and delicious, though I'd say the Ka Pow was my favorite of the two. Of course, what's a burger without fries? The Zaab fries had a very unique seasoning on them, kind of limey in the best way. We got the spicy mayo for them, but honestly, they didn't need it! Another fantastic burger joint in LES!

    This was super gross and I got upcharged for everything. I don't know how a tiny burger with a 'double patty' and a handful of fries cost $20

    What a great option in Essex Market! We tried the BBQ and Ka Pow burgers and both enjoyed our meals. I really liked the kick of the Ka Pow, and the holy basil really gave the burger a true Thai touch. I also appreciate that smashburgers are not that big, but if you want to make your meal more substantial, you can do so with a reasonable upcharge by doubling the patties. Prices are relatively affordable. The fries are fried perfectly-- so crispy. We opted for the Zaab seasoning, which was pretty good (if you like lime). But honestly, they fry the potatoes so well, I'm sure the regular salted version is also great. The service was friendly, quick, and helpful. Upstairs seating is clean and plentiful. Looking forward to returning!

    It seems like this business shifted away from your traditional Thai food offerings to smash burgers with a Thai twist, which I greatly appreciated. I got two burgers and an order of fries here for a grand total of 28.01, which is phenomenal seeing as how this is Manhattan. The krapow double burger was $11 and the issan double burger was 10 with fries coming in at around 4.50 I was ecstatic that I got that much food for this price. The flavors were good, but a little underwhelming as I felt like it didn't hit me with the usually fiery spices I'm accustomed with Thai food. That being said though, the burgers were done well and were juicy, topped with a nice potato bun this Thai smash burger was overall a very well done and tasty burger. Would definitely come back here again, but I do appreciate the fact that this food court has a nice assortment of affordable and creative foods.

    Delicious burgers in Essex Market! Zaab Zaab serves Thai-inspired smash burgers for a really affordable price. I grabbed my burger and headed upstairs to the dining area. The Isan Burger comes with Thai peppers which adds great texture and a kick to your standard smashburger. The Zaab fries were well-seasoned and the order came with plenty of fries. Looking forward to stopping by again soon.

    Khan Jee Burger. GOOD. A Smash Burger with a different twist using Sticky Rice as Buns with a Pickle for a Topping. The Buns were formidable being strong enough to hold the Burger without falling apart. GOOD flavor profile. RECOMMEND.

    Zaab Zaab was great! I stopped by their stall in Essex Market because I had heard a lot of good things about their burger--and it was delicious! The guy at the counter was super nice. I got the Ka Pow burger with a side of Zaab fries and their spicy mayo sauce. The fries had a sour kick to them, really delicious. I like the Ka Pow burger a lot, super flavorful with a little bit of spice. Kind of a mix between a smash burger and sloppy Joe, but make the flavors Thai. Would love to come back but honestly might try a different burger.

We were greeted by very friendly staff members who, despite our early arrival, worked hard to get us seated as quickly as possible. The space's vibe is exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Times Square area -- dimly lit, but everything was still visible, not too much noise while extremely busy, and very cozy atmosphere made super pleasant from such attentive, kind staff members. I was especially impressed by our server, Leena, who checked in with us regularly, gave excellent recommendations, and was clearly concerned about giving us an amazing experience. My wife and I ordered one of the seasonal offerings--a sweet and savory fruit salad--that was the perfect start to our meal. I ordered the massaman, and it was easily the best massaman curry I've ever had in the United States. Perfect spice level, the chicken fell right off the bone (even my wife, a vegetarian, commented on how clean the bones looked after I removed the meat), and the mixture of textures and flavors with the lotus seeds and onions really created the perfect dish. I am craving it just sitting here and writing this review! Prices? Honestly, I couldn't imagine a fairer deal given the quality of the food and service we received. I was utterly blown away. I cannot recommend Mitr Thai enough! I can't wait to return next time I'm in the city!

However, when I got to the restaurant, I was told that they were not participating. When I brought this up to the staff, they did comment that several people made the same mistake earlier in the week. If that was the case, then why not correct the restaurant week website, or make it very obvious on your website that you aren't participating? Both of us were starving, and I had put in a birthday request at the restaurant, so we decided to stay. The ambiance is classy, and this would be a great spot for a business dinner or date night. I ordered a massaman curry with roti and chicken ($29), and my friend ordered the chuchi shrimp ($30) and curry puff ($16). Prices are a bit above average for the portion size, but justified by the area. We both enjoyed our dishes; the flavors were on point! Then, for my friend's birthday, they gave us mochi ice cream and a card signed by the staff! That was a nice touch that overrode the restaurant week debacle. Service was fantastic. There were multiple check backs and water refills. I would recommend Sabai Thai for a fancy night out, and I would return to try other dishes.
