This restaurant is a well oiled machine! The ladies at the counter were filling so many to go orders, it was mind blowing. They were busy, yet very friendly and efficient. You place your order on a electronic tablet. We ordered the Sizzling Lau Sausage, Crispy Zaap Wings, Pad Kee Mao and the Mango Sticky Rice. We ordered all of our items to go. When I took our items out of our bags when we got back, I was amazed at the portion size of the Pad Kee Mao because the weight of the container was SUBSTANTIALLLLLL!!!!! All of our items were out of this world fantastic but I have to give a big ole shout out for that MANGO STICKY RICE! This was first time to have it and my husband and I both enjoyed. I appreciated the variety of Thai and Lao items on their menu and would like to come back and try some other things. They had a lot of customers coming in and out with to go orders. You can tell this is very popular for lunch for folks who work in the area. I can understand why. All of the food is so fresh and piping hot. Oh and the chalkboard art is MAGNIFICENT!!!! I love it so much that i took more pictures of that than our food! I did, however, get a pic of the mango sticky rice because I had to try it immediately when we got back. WOWOWOWOWOWWWW! That's all. read more

It's Thai fast food. Since most Thai restaurants are usually reasonably priced, I didn't find this place, while most of their items are inexpensive, to be that great of a deal. The papaya salad came with big chunks of cabbage and marinated green papaya. The Lao sausage was good and the garlic riblets were okay. Overall it was fine but I'm not entirely impressed with the food. Wall decorated with chalk drawings was very nice, for a fast food type of place! read more

The Dancing Garlic Robles with Papaya Salad was delicious, as was the Laotian Fried Rice Combo: piping hot and made to order. Thai Tea was decent, I've had better: and it was soooo cold in the dining area! read more

My first time trying a Thai/Laos restaurant. These wings... so good ! Like it's kind of ridiculous. They're good by themselves but with the Jeow Som, takes them to a whole different level. I also ordered pork pad thai with a spice level 2, Im not a spice lover but I like a little kick and there was no spice at all, so go to a level 3 if you want a bit of a kick. The thai iced tea was super delicious, and if you like peanut sauce, its good . The portion sizes are really nice. read more

First time ordering from Zaap Kitchen and it was very good. The pad Thai was exceptionally good. Only minor disappointment was that I ordered it hot and it was pretty mild but still was excellent and I just added my own chili. I tried the Lao sausage which was different and interesting. It has a lime flavor (?) which I wasn't expecting. I wanted to try at least one Lao thing from the menu. Veggie spring rolls were good - could have been crispier but were still good. The pad Thai made this 5 stars. Will definitely order from here again. read more

I love this place and have always enjoyed the food and service. However, I was very disappointed to learn that the green curry has been removed from the menu. It was my favorite dish and one of the main reasons I came here. I hope you will consider bringing it back, as its removal makes me much less likely to return. read more

I finally came by after one of my favorite Yelpers gave it raving reviews. I am glad that I did. I think this is the best Thai spot on MacArthur Blvd. We had the Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, and Green Curry. We had level 4 out 5 spice level but it was plenty hot. This seems like mostly a "To Go" place as seating is nothing fancy and limited inside. The service was prompt and the atmosphere was very casual. The food was delicious. It was also at a great price point. We will definitely come back again. read more

This has become one of my go to spots! The food is always fresh, very flavorful, and the level 4 heat is perfection. Staff is also very friendly. My favorite dishes are the pineapple fried rice and pad woon sen. Do your taste buds a favor and try them out. You're welcome! read more

I have been here several times and it is always great! The Crispy Rice Salad is super tasty with strong flavors and the variety of textures puts it over the top. The Pad Se Ew is also consistently excellent with large noodles and it is well seasoned and just the right heat. Curry Fried Rice, all the soups, the curries, the wings, you really just cannot go wrong. Oh, and get the Bang Bang Sauce! The restaurant is clean and very inviting and the staff is very friendly. If you are in the mood for Thai you need to get in here! Highly recommended! read more

You guys have to do better for this area. I was very disappointed. Number one improvement that needs to be addressed is cleanliness. Bathroom was filthy. Poop on the floor and on the toilet. Toilet paper on the floor after being used. Main area had food all over the floor from previous customers. Tables were sticky and the area to the bathroom needs to be organized. Pick up the food of the floor that will be later served to people. If you taking orders stay off your phone, young lady. Food was 3 stars everything else 0. read more

This is a casual Thai place. We were the only dine in customers but there were a few takeaways. We were greeted by a smiling older guy who asked us to let us know if we need any help ordering which is through a self guiding screen. We had a green curry and a glass noodle sit fry both of which had decent portions and tasted yum! We also ordered dessert which wa mango sticky rice and purpose macaroon ice cream. Only negative was their lack of dine in cutlery. Hope they keep few for dine in customers read more

I had the pad thai it was super good! Portion size is awesome. Was walking distance from my hotel.

Back to my favorite spot I go! Once again the food was amazing, tried some new items and they were amazing. The wings were crispy, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The combination fried rice actually had meat in it instead of all rice. Please keep up the great job!!! read more

Zaap Kitchen Lao & Thai Street Eats is a fast casual restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas that serves some of the most legit Lao and Thai cuisine in the area. There are multiple locations in the DFW area, and Irving-Las Colinas residents now have access to this excellent restaurant. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Zaap has a very functional fast casual design. It's bright, open, and clean. There's a path on the left which will take you to the counter to order, and there are several small tables. Nothing super exciting, but extremely functional. Normally I would only give 1/2 a star but the food is legit so they get a bump. 1 Star. Service - I think Zaap is a Las Colinas lunch spot (busy during the week), because on my Sunday lunch visit, the person who took my order was about 10-years old. The cute little boy had nice manners, repeated my order, and upon taking my order, he joined his little sister in an empty booth to play games with her. Soon, our food was brought to our table (by adults). Overall the service is good, but I was a little uncomfortable interacting with a little boy taking my order. 1 Star. Food - I am so happy Zaap has opened in Irving-Las Colinas! The food is legitimately good, and the prices are very fair. I started with a fresh salad roll with shrimp. The rice paper wrapped roll had too much lettuce for my taste, but the peanut dipping sauce is perfect. Warm and creamy, Zaap also provides crushed peanuts that you can add to the sauce to add more peanut flavor and texture. For my main, I'm a fan of the Pad Woon Sen. One word - Fresh. Make that three words - Fresh, piping hot. My Pad Woon Sen is a stir fry garden of fresh cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It all works together with Thai spices that vaults Zaap right into my rotation of Go-To restaurants. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. The best part of Zaap is the value. With inflation and the cost of food so high, it's nice to have options from a legitimate Thai\Lao restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas. 1 Star. read more

Ordered from Zaap for takeout. Service was quick which was appreciated! Orders the drunken noodles with pork, riblets and green curry. The garlic riblets didn't really have a strong garlic flavor and the green curry was sweet which I'm not used to. I'm not sure if that is more of a Lao style than a Thai style. The drunken noodles were probably the best thing we ordered. read more

ZAAP Kitchen Lao & Thai Cuisine is a culinary gem that truly impresses with its vibrant flavors and authentic dishes. The Pad See Ew is outstanding--perfectly cooked noodles with a delightful balance of savory sauce and fresh vegetables. The garlic rib tips are tender and packed with flavor, making them a must-try. I also highly recommend the crab cream cheese rolls; they are crispy, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. Paired with fragrant jasmine rice, each dish creates a harmonious dining experience. Everything was cooked fresh to order, making this an EXCELLENT 10/10 dinner. read more

Location is very clean. I liked the self order kiosk. That was great. I'm not tipping for that tho. The only thing the staff did was bring my food to my table and I can't justify a 20% in food cost when I can just get it from the counter. Food was great. Tasted great and lots of veggies. I feel like the portion size on the pad woon sen could have been larger for the price paid tho. Veggie rolls were very crispy and good! read more

Good Food. Fast Service. Clean environment. Had the crispy vegetable rolls and the fresh vegetable rolls. The green curry, garlic pork bits, and the drunken noodles are delicious. The soups are yummy too. Great for eat in, pick up, or delivery. read more

Hands down, the best Pad Thai in the DFW area. It's my favorite! Luckily I don't live too far, but honestly, I'd be willing to make the drive even if I did. The flavor is spot on every time. I also really enjoy their Panang Curry. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. On top of that, their service is always quick and friendly. This place never disappoints! read more

By far my favorite place in the Dallas Fort Worth area to pick up Vietnamese spring rolls. The shrimp rolls are my favorite. We've tried the fried rice and that was good too, but I keep going back to the shrimp rolls. Fresh, tasty and the peanut sauce is always spot on. I love to order ahead using the Yelp app. It makes pick up so easy. You can order at the counter to eat in restaurant or take to go. Staff is always helpful and friendly. One day I'm going to try the ice cream sandwiches that they have for sale in the freezer cabinet next to check out. The restaurants are always clean and well managed. Many locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Stop by and try one. read more

This didn't taste like Thai food at all. I always try the yellow curry first and at any Thai restaurant in the DFW. The yellow curry was greasy and very spicy. It tasted more like Indian curry, so I'm not sure what spices it had. The fresh roll was full of rice and bland. Maybe I'm not used to this style of "Thai" food, but I picked the chicken off my curry and left the rest. You couldn't pay me to eat this again. read more

Solid choice for a fast, quality, casual, and fairly authentic Thai. What stood out to me about this place is their use of fresh and quality vegetables that are cooked perfectly, just firm enough for a good chew. The ratio of carbs to other ingredients like meat and vegetables were perfectly balanced. Despite the location and the modern look of this place, they carry authentic items on their menu as well. Although I did find their red curry to be too sweet for my liking, the other items on their menu such as fried rice and noodles are not overly sweet to cater to the Western customers. I was especially impressed with their Pineapple Fried Rice. There were ample chunks of grilled pineapple and the rice had great savory taste with a hint of fish sauce taste, which I found pleasant. All the ingredients and flavors were very nicely stir fried and rested together. I think Zaap Kitchen is a great establishment with amazing value for the price, which explains why they have been expanding fast throughout DFW. I have also heard that their curry fried rice is excellent, which I cannot wait to try! The only caveat to this place is that their heat levels of 1-5 is very weak, so if you like heat, I wouldn't hesitate to go up a few levels. read more

My husband & I are so glad this Laotian & Thai restaurant opened nearby. I was craving papaya salad & mango sticky rice, & they hit the spot! It was our first time trying Laotian sausage, & it was pretty good! We also got our usual pad see ew, but we're going to come back for more! My husband & I really appreciate the self serve ordering kiosk (because we're both introverted), yet it was pleasant knowing that the staff are pretty friendly as well. read more

I was looking for a good Thai place nearby, tried Zaap and loved it! I got the Fresh Spring Rolls (veggie) w/ peanut sauce and was pleasantly surprised at the large portions--they were really fresh tasting and the sauce was great. I also had the chicken pad Thai w/ mild spice and it was some of the best pad Thai I've had. I will definitely be back! read more

I'm a fan of Zaap. I've been a long time customer of their Dallas location. Being that I live in Irving, I was happy to know they opened one in Irving. The Irving location always forgets to add eggs to the dishes that say they have eggs. I don't like noodle dishes without egg and order accordingly. They never follow through. Pad see ew comes with egg. It says it on the menu. But when it gets here, it never has it. Other than the issue with them following through with this, the food is overall delicious read more
