This place gets 5stars for delivering HEAT ! Everything was flavorful and delicious . It's a small Laos street eats casual restaurant with limited seating indoors but you can't find a better location . It's smack dab in the entrance of westbend near the river . We noticed a never ending cycle of deliveries going out while we dined for lunch . Really neat murals painted on the walls of the interior and the service was great. All the food is pretty modifiable and transparent with ingredients . So if you're a veg head just make sure to communicate with your cashier before ordering . We would absolutely go back ! read more

Ordered to go from here again. Pad Thai was gross. Very odd off putting sauce. Ditto pad see ew. Pad kee Mao is good but inconsistent. All soups are terrible disappointments. The Nam Lhao- crispy rice salad with pork is really good though consistently and the only thing I would strongly suggest ordering. Really all soups are watery thin tasteless disappointments. read more

First time here and definitely not the last. I love Thai food and I always base my experience on how well they make their Pad Thai. I have my favorite spots that make them so well, and some that I'll never go back to. Well, Zaap makes really yummy Pad Thai and I'll be coming back for more!! I really enjoyed it and the sauce was perfect. We also ordered the Pad Kee Mao, which was good, just light on the flavor. Their Basil fried rice was also yummy! read more

Rating: 6.5/10 Date Last Visited: 9/17/2025 We ordered the Pad See Ew w/ Chicken ($15) and Pad Kee Mao w/ Beef ($15) for takeout. Both dishes were very standard Thai food, not bad but not very good either. For $15, this is about standard for the quality and quantity of what I got. The noodles were cooked well, they were chewy and savory. I didn't like how the beef was chopped up like ground beef, and I couldn't really taste the beef. I can't speak much on the service or ambiance since i ordered takeout. Overall, I would recommend if you're craving Thai food and in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

This place might be THE spot. Was in Fort Worth for a week and have to order food every night. Got it once, ended up getting it three times. Like oh my goodness this place is good. I highly recommend the yellow curry, drunken noodles, wings, and the red curry soup. Everything we got was so good and blew away expectations. If you are wondering on what to order tonight definitely get Zaap! Xoxoxoxoxo (I love you Zaap), Bob B. read more

I like the fried crab rolls. Service was fast. People working there would always check to make sure we had everything we needed and was very nice. I did not enjoy the drinks or food here. The Thai tea tasted watered down and the coffee did not have much depth to the flavor. I was excited to try the tapioca noodle soup because of the chewy texture that was mentioned but the noodles were soggy and not chewy. The noodles were breaking off from my spoon every time I picked it up. The red curry noodle soup was pretty good and had a nice kick to it. When I went for dinner it was right before 6:00pm and they let me know that the tapioca noodle dish I ordered was the last one they had. I believe the place closes at 10:00pm but their options might be limited so it might be smart to call and check what was available before driving down. The inside of the restaurant did not have much seating but it also seemed like it was a popular take-out spot and not many were looking to dine in, which made it easy for me to find seating. Be prepared to possibly not have enough seating in doors. read more

recently visited this spot, which seems to cater more to takeout than dine-in service. I ordered the tofu Pad Thai with level 3 spice and a Thai iced tea. The Thai iced tea was pre-prepared and stored in the fridge. While I appreciate the convenience of having it ready, I typically expect Thai iced tea to be freshly mixed before serving for better flavor and presentation. As for the Pad Thai, it was flavorful, and I enjoyed the dish overall. I think I could have gone for a higher spice level next time to suit my taste. However, I did find the portion size a bit smaller compared to what I've received at other places, and the Thai iced tea also felt a little undersized. I think this spot has potential, especially for quick takeout, but slightly larger portions and fresher preparation for drinks would make the experience even better. read more

I have been to Zaap many times and it has always been good. However, I have to leave a 1 star review for the worst food I have ever had today. I made my husband come early and we waited outside until they opened the doors and if I could review just for the staff it would be 5 stars, but the food was just not cutting it. Especially on Mothers Day. We came starving, whatever was going to come out of the kitchen we ate but the pad kee mao beef didn't even have big slices of beef like you can see in the other pictures.....it was literally like leftover little droplets of minced beef...how does this happen when we are the first customers? Did they run out of beef? we ate all the noodles and left the beef. The heavenly beef jerky was fried to a crisp it wasn't like it normally is (usually kind of juicy but jerky-like and flavorful) it tasted like a bad burnt potato chip. Lao iced coffee was disgusting, only thing you could taste was the smokey flavor. They could not make adjustments because it was premade. Papaya salad mild was not flavorful just fish sauce and lemon juice maybe?? Half of the food went in the trash. $50 to only go and eat somewhere else after. The eggrolls were good and the sticky rice (but its just sticky rice so hard to mess up). VERY VERY disappointed. I am half thai. I have always loved this place but I definitely will not be back to this location. read more

10/10 would recommend! It's hard enough to find good food, but Lao food is even harder to find where I'm from. Zaap is a Lao and Thai street food type of vibe! It's on the smaller side, but the flavors are what you will come here for. On a level of authenticity, you got it right here! Service was quick and easy and friendly. I would definitely come back and try everything on their menu when I'm back in town. I wish they had a Zaap in Maryland. Keep the great tasting food coming Zaap! You guys are bringing that Lao/Thai culture to Texas and I love it! read more

Food was great! Portion was generous, pad see ew was a little on the sweet side but other than that no complaints. I never eat in their sit down restaurant so I can't comment on their service, neither does the ambiance of the restaurant. I usually door-dash from them. But everytime I do food always comes exceptional. So no complains! read more

Yo... 4 years later and this is still one of my favorite laos/thai places!! Quick easy. Clean. Taste amazing consistently. Awesome workers. Always feels like visiting a favorite uncle and eating his delicious cooking. I can't stop recommending this place enough. read more

I can't say enough about how incredible this food is--it's easily some of the best I've had in a long time. I actually find myself craving it! I ordered the curry and it was absolutely delicious--so good that after having it the other day, I'm already ordering it again for delivery. This place has quickly become a favorite of mine, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food. read more

Ridiculous long wait for food--close to 30 minutes. Also too expensive. Much better places

Holy goodness was this food good! We got the Pad Kee Mao, Tom Yum soup, and they did their Laotian rice without onions or spice for my kids. The food was amazing and served so fast! This place is a must for anyone that loves good food. Pro Tip: spicy level 4 is fantastically delicious and hot. read more

i absolutely adore this spot. so far i've tried the pad see ew and the khao piak sen and they were both incredible. service is so kind and friendly as well. it can get a little busy so sometimes it takes a minute to get your food but it's so worth it! read more

Meat looked spoiled told me they could only remake part of my order and charge me for the other part I returned the whole meal.

This place is a must stop if you are in the area. The food was yummy and the service was quick. The place is small so it's not that great for groups but you can always take Togo! The prices are good for what you get and the spice rating is great. I normally do a level 4 and it was exactly the kick that I needed. I had the pad kee mao which is one of my favorites when getting Thai food and it perfectly hit the spot. Great tasting ingredients and made well. I went with a friend and she also enjoyed her food. She got the pad see ew. We both agreed that it was the perfect meat to noodle ratio. 10/10 When I'm in the area, I'm coming back! read more

Fresh and flavorful! I ordered online via ChowNow and picked up here. My order included crispy veggie spring rolls; fresh rolls with tofu and peanut sauce; pineapple fried rice with shrimp and level 3 spiciness; laab salad with chicken & zapp spicy; and yellow curry, no meat and level 3. Both sets of rolls were fresh and tasted as though they were made to order. My dipping sauces (sweet & sour and peanut) tasted house made. The fried rice was perfectly studded with pineapple chunks, cashews, raisins, shrimp, veggies, and seasonings. I had to stop myself from eating the whole bowl of yellow curry. It was creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavors. The Laab salad was layered with delish flavors. Level 3 heat is not at all hot to me, but that was OK because the food is so good. Proportions are generous. You park in the strip and just walk down the sidewalk to their small spot. I checked this spot out because fellow elite helpers were raving about it. I concur! Can't wait to try more dishes here. read more

I highly recommend coming here! read more

Was in the area and stumbled upon this Lao restaurant in Fort Worth, University area! I wanted to order the khao poon gai chicken (curry noodle soup) just to try it to see if it's good. Cus I'm a little picky with my Khao poon. Wow, totally impressed! I was slurping the broth up! So good and flavorful, just how I like it! Khao poon chicken - 8/10 Nam Khao- 8/10 super crunchy and full of the lime and fish sauce flavor! Fried pork ribs - 7/10 pretty good! Good balance of flavor and pairs well with the sticky rice Papaya salad - 7/10 glad that there is good papaya in this area! read more

The best yellow curry I've had. So good! One of my go to's and they have yummy desserts as well. I've tried other dishes and never had a bad meal. My bf got me hooked. We love getting the chicken yellow curry. Good portions as well. Love the location and area. read more

If you know me, you know I absolutely love Pad See Ew. It is my go-to dish every time I'm at Thai restaurant. The pad see ew here is easily the top two I've ever had. The noodles were cooked perfectly and absorbed all of the sweet soy sauce. The star of the dish was the beef. The beef is usually the afterthought since it's almost always a lean, lower grade meat, but not here. Every single piece was juicy and tender and you could even see the marbling. I could not stop raving about the beef to my fiancée. They also didn't skimp on it either so kudos to Zaap. The dish overall was a bit on the smaller side, but the flavors and the beef made up for it. I will be dreaming about these noodles for years to come. read more

My son and I are always looking for new Asian cuisine places to try out. The location of where this place is located made me feel that I was under dressed, but my son was right! It's a very chill and small place. We came around 8:30pm and we are the only ones eating in here as most orders are to go like Door Dash. The service was great and the food was superb! I have found a place much closer to where I live to have great Thai food! We will definitely come back and for sure order with Door Dash as well! read more

Decided to stop in for some soup on a cold and wet day . I had no idea that this place existed but was craving Tum Yum soup and saw that it was fairly new. Finally found it tucked in a corner. On this day, rain was coming in at the bottom of the door and they had a towel to soak it up. I was shocked over how quaint the restaurant was so not the best for large parties. I ordered the soup and a side of egg rolls and both met my need. I probably wouldn't return because the food was okay but it seemed overpriced. read more

I can't believe I overlooked this place. It's now my favorite Thai place on this side of town! On a very rare, occasion, I get too excited to take pictures of the food; and this happens to be the case. Sorry folks! I'll capture these dishes next time. To stay on course, let's talk about the grub. *Pad Thai: I had the pad Thai chicken noodle with mild spice, and it was packed with vibrant flavors along with an irresistible balance of sweet and salty. Next time, I'm cranking up the spices since mild did not bring that heat. *Curry fried rice: The rice was so fragrant, and my taste buds were dancing with every bite. Think the opposite of bland! I'm very impressed with how tasty it was. *Lao Iced Coffee: It may taste a little on the sweet side for me, but the caffeine was no joke. That strong coffee made my face flush for 15 minutes! My brother had the Thai iced tea, and finished it in a jiffy. They also have macron ice cream sandwiches if you have room for dessert. I have my eyes on their red curry dish next time. Overall, the restaurant is located in Westbend. Picking up the food was a pleasant experience. The food was ready right on time. Moreover, I was admiring all the wall art around the shopping center on my way there. You can count on me being back for more! read more

Placed an order to go online. Wait was 15 mins. Friendly, easy pick up inside. Crab Cheese Rolls Shrimp Pad Thai Laotian Fried Rice --- $42.19 Opened the Crab Cream Cheese Rolls as soon as we got in the car to eat on the ride home and they were amazing! Plated our meals at home and neither of us were overly impressed but it didn't taste bad. Lacking flavor. Worked for a quick take out night but wouldn't order the same menu items again. I'd return for the crab cream cheese rolls alone. read more

I ordered from this location and found a long black hair in my coconut water. I ordered the Laotian combo set, which was fine. Sausage was undercooked but edible (I hope). I called the restaurant notifying them of the hair in the drink and after a long hold/conversation was told to take it up with UberEats because I "ordered on their platform." ...I don't think that's how it works. Pretty appalled by the hair in the food and the subsequent terrible customer service. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and clearly food safety/cleanliness is an issue. read more

My first time try Lao food and it was amazing! Service was good. They helped me choose what to get and explained it well. I had the ZAAP combo with garlic riblets. It had so much flavor. I absolutely love garlic with meat so I couldn't stop eating it. I enjoyed it with the sticky rice it came with along with the papaya salad. The salad is pretty strong with the fish sauce but that's what makes it authentic. I also tried their pad thai which was also incredible. Bold flavors, perfectly cooked noodles. I would love to try everything in their menu. Everything looks so good. read more
