Absolutely delicious and price is great. I was craving Thai food and decided to give this place a chance. I ordered the papaya salad, wings, pad see ew and Thai coffee. Papaya salad had very bold flavors. It was spicy. However the wings paired with papaya salad was fantastic. Will return read more

Overall: 3.4/5 [dine in] We ordered on UberEats for pickup, but decided to eat it there while it was fresh. Jeow Som / Bang Bang Sauce ($3.49): The container is big but you really do not need much. It is very acidic and makes your tongue tingle. After a few dips my palate was registering super salty. I wish they sold a smaller size. Heavenly Beef Jerky ($10.75): These are thinner than your typical beef jerky, almost like they were going for a chip texture. They were pretty dry with just a slight crunch. We ended up dipping them in the bang bang sauce to help with the dryness. Crispy ZAAP Wings ($10.75): These were not as flavorful as we were hoping. They tasted a lot better with the bang bang sauce but on their own they fell flat. I would not get either appetizer again. Drunken Noodles / Pad Kee Mao ($16.99) + Combo Protein ($4): This was the best of everything we ordered. The combo protein came with chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp and the dish came out piping hot and fresh. It tasted really good and is worth ordering. read more

Zaap is an establishment that is just always consistently good. One of the best Thai spots in Dallas IMO! When they say spice level is a 5? They absolutely mean it. The curry fried rice, the drunken noodles, the wings, the Thai tea... everything I've tried has never disappointed me. I have even placed a catering order of the curry fried rice with them multiple times and they have always been so reliable. The customer service is always a 10/10. It is a very casual restaurant so I always place a to go order to pick up. Zaap will always have a customer out of me! 10/10 read more

Zaap Kitchen Lao Thai Street Eats - Laotian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Enjoyed my meal here. It's a takeout spot only, but quick, healthy, and tasty options. I went with the garlic stir fry with beef and slightly spicy. Chicken or pork would have been more tender. But the beef had a good flavor and overall I enjoyed it. Excited to try more options in the future. read more

This is great hangover food, but not a Thai place I'd go to on a regular basis! We always get Pad See Ew at Thai restaurants, we're not from here, so we decided to try it out! The noodles were covered in oil, it was way too much oil...kinda soggy. The chicken in the noodles was dry. However the food was hot and spice level was perfect! Love that they have sides of chili oil available to purchase for extra spice. Coconut water was not what I expected. States in the menu that it has the coconut pulp in the water, usually when I see that I see bits and pieces of pulp, but this drink had two huge pieces of coconut so I couldn't drink it (see pictures) it was interesting! We're hung over so the food was still bomb, but not a place we'd go to again. Service was meh. She didn't say hi just asked for name and handed it to me. Didn't even really look at me... just kinda odd! read more

Zaap Wings - 5/5 Positively succulent. Get these if you order from Zaap. Curry Fried Rice - 4/5 I'm a big yellow curry lover but this one was just good, not amazing. The flavor was very one-note, and the dish was a very rice-heavy even with extra meat added. Garlic Riblets - 4/5 Great flavor, but sometimes you get one of these that's just cartilage and that's a bit of a downer. Would be great if they were actually all meat. read more

Service was quick but food wasn't that good. This is the first time I've ordered take out from this location and I always get the same thing drunken noodles level 3 spice, xtra noodles, and mixed veggies along with either the crab cream rolls or the veggie rolls. Not here to complain about the rolls though, the drunken noodles seemed over cooked, too crispy, and have a peculiar aroma. A couple bites in and I realized I couldn't stomach eating the rest. I'm more disappointed in the food but other than that. Nice staff, calm environment, and decent service read more

Zaap Kitchen Lao Thai Street Eats - Drunken Noodles - Laotian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It was a good spot to get a light lunch. We wanted to try something homey so we decided to try out this thai/lao place. It is more like a take out/ fast food place, not so much a sit down and order. You have to go up to the counter and order and then sit down. We got a few items on the menu to try. The basil fried rice was good, it had a good amount of flavor of the basil. The thing I enjoy the most was the pad see ew, it was spicy and delicious. I am a high tolerance spice person, so their spicy wasn't spicy at all. However, if you don't have high tolerance, just stick to the low or medium. The tom yum soup was too tart/sour. I didn't not enjoy that dish, the thai tea was oka, it wasn't the best thai tea I have had. The rib bits was good and crispy and so was the chicken wings. The sausage was oka, I perferred the spicy one and this was kind of flavorless. The chicken wings were okay, it was kind of on the try side. The beef jerky was oka, it didnt taste any different and just more sweet. The plating of the food was in takeout containers, it just feels awkward to sit down and eat the food in take away containers. Oh well it is what it is. The services was good, they brought us our food. The food came out fast. read more

I've had Zaap a handful of times and I've enjoyed it. I usually get the pad see ew, pad woon sen, or mango sticky rice. Today I ordered the fresh rolls to go as well as the cream cheese rolls. Unfortunately it was a complete miss. The cream cheese rolls were ok, kind of dry on the inside. The fresh rolls were filled about 85% with iceberg lettuce... (I've never seen a fresh roll with iceberg lettuce in it ever). To charge someone $10 for mostly iceberg lettuce wrapped in rice paper is disgraceful. I don't know if they were running out of all the other ingredients so they filled it up with mostly lettuce or something, but that is crazy. read more

Excellent place for Thai/Laotian takeout! Nearly all the foods here are rich and tasty, with a diverse assortment of textures, flavor palates, and types of dishes (ranging from salads, soups, meats, rice/noodles, drinks, and desserts). The staff is helpful and kind here as well. During one of the times I ordered takeout here, they were running about 5 minutes late with my order and apologized profusely and offered a drink to me for free for the wait (great customer service!) A few things to note: first, they can vary spice levels (including none/level 0) but I'd recommend going lower, as most dishes are quite spicy by default. I would say mild/ level 1 is a good baseline. Second, their Thai iced tea is really, really condensed and sweet. We split it into three cups and mixed them with water, meaning that one of their regular Thai Iced teas can serve 3 people (which is great, considering it's rather expensive). Last is that, for some reason, their in-person orders are about $1 cheaper across the menu than over Yelp's online menu (maybe due to operational costs), so bear that in mind if you order online. Overall, would definitely go back! read more

Sooooo deliciously spicy. I am a glutton for punishment and asked for level 10 spice out of 5 and they delivered! Generous portion sizes and quick walk up service. It took longer waiting to order than it did for my food to come out. And it was fresh, to boot! I will definitely be hitting up the location closer to home in hopes that they maintain the level of quality and service I received here. I would definitely recommend the pad woon sen and combo with papaya salad. Not pictured but the garlic riblets were to die for. read more

I love Zaap! I wish it was still in HEB area! Only place where I can get a papaya salad, sticky rice, and meat choice combo. That's my go to authentic Laos dishes and usually I have to buy all three separately. But here I can buy the combo! The Laos papaya salad is legit ! They actually use the correct sauces for it. I've tried some other dishes here and my fav so far is the drunken noodles. It was excellent ! The basil fried rice is good but we had some better at their other locations. Please rebuild in HEB area! We need more authentic Asian food there ! read more

Every time I come visit my son and his family in Texas, I made sure we stop by for lunch @ZAAP. This is my first visit in this location and about 12 minutes away from the Dallas Lovefield airport. Zaap Kitchen serves authentic Lao and Thai cuisine in the Dallas area. Its friendly staff and casual environment feels like home. This location has a wall art that catches your eye as soon as you enter the restaurant. I love art and so I really appreciate any artist's creativity snd gifted talent. For appetizers we ordered the CRAB CREAM CHEESE ROLLS , Filling is a concoction of imitation crab meat, cream cheese, carrots, and white onions wrapped in rice paper and then deep fried with with a thin sweet & sour dipping sauce on the side. My favorite signature dish is the DANCING GARLIC RIBLETS , They are Fried savory , tender pork riblets topped with fried garlic. And mind you you' ll sure be dancing while nibbling on these yummy riblets. My grandkids and daughter in law's best loved choice is the PAD SEE Ew-Sweet Soy Sauce Noodles which has Thick wide rice noodles with egg, carrots, broccoli, & white pepper and your choice of meat. We ordered 1 with shrimps and another order with beef. They were both equally yummy and heavenly flavorful. My son pretty much eats everything and anything served. Actually he loves the riblets so I got 2 servings of those. I can't pass on the PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE , that's my must have staple food right there. Rice, Eggs, cashews, pineapple, raisins, peas, carrots, white onions, green onions, and tomato were all blended in a mouthwatering tasty smoky flavor. Pineapple chunks were so sweet and very well added to the authenticity of a Thailand cuisine. Gotta have those THAI ICED TEA!!! And my son his LAO ICED COFFEE to perk him up from a graveyard shift till 8am then came straight to drive 2 hours to pick us up from the airport by noon. Always a blessing to visit family and good restaurants as well. Total meal $75 read more

I literally had some of the best basil fried rice I've ever had in my life from here. I went in on a whim because I wanted fried rice and I love Thai food so I stopped by and immediately great service and clean environment, most people were taking their orders to go, but I decided to sit down, and it was the best decision ever. I got a spice level of three and it was not too spicy for me, although I am from the Caribbean next time, I'll try spice for and I am super excited to return read more

Got it delivered from this place for the first time. I wanted Thai hot being the hottest but it is not spicy at all. I think the portion size is good for the price and also the taste. read more

Zaap Kitchen Lao Thai Street Eats - Pad Thai (left) & Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) - Laotian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place was small and there was no high chair for my baby I almost walked out because of that but I am glad we stayed. As I waited for our food there was like 20 DoorDash orders so we thought this place must be good. We are glad we stayed everything was so good! And Thai food I feel is hit or miss. I'm not a fan of pad Thai but this was the best one I've had! Flavors and texture was well balanced. Fried chicken was simple but so good and crispy. Papaya salad great flavor and freshness. Kao Piek Sen also perfect noodle texture and I didn't have to add sauce to my broth. Cream cheese Rangoon was good also. I preferred it rolled that way over the pockets. Mango sticky rice was also perfect like how my mom makes it. Well definitely be back. The workers were also friendly and attentive. read more

I can keep this short & sweet: if you are looking for great Thai food in Dallas, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN ZAAP! Their Pad Thai is delicious, fresh, & flavorful (& spicy if that's your jam) & I recommend finishing off your meal with one of the macaroon ice cream sandwiches (you can't go wrong with any flavor). The staff is nice, service is expedient, and the restaurant is clean & well decorated to reflect the city! 10/10 always recommend! read more

This location is one of the smallest Zaap kitchen I've visited. Portions have gotten much smaller post-COVID and prices are almost double but that's everywhere. I had the Laotian fried rice which always has a good taste. read more

This is a fast food Thai/Lao for "street food" my food was good - I had the crispy rice with pork - (think they might have used Spam- I would get it with chicken next time or tofu- my husband had the pad Thai he liked it - and we split the wings - I would pass on those the next and definitely try one of their other mouth watering options- The gal behind the counter (wish I knew her name) was very helpful and nice - the place is simple and clean Definitely will be back for a second go around read more

It was a little pricey for lunch for one but it was very good! I ate in but I could see that takeout was big for them too.

S U M M A R Y My absolute favorite Thai place in DFW. I will stand tall on that hill. I always get the same thing, and it never lets me down. T A S T E Basil Fried Rice : The All-Star. I'm obsessed with rice, it is my favorite carb. Probably because I am Nigerian. Moving on. I absolutely love basil fried rice I always customize it to have all three meats: chicken, beef and shrimp. I also add bean sprouts to it and extra onions. I usually get spice level 3/5 and you can definitely taste it in the rice. I also get their chili sauce on the side which I add to the rice to give it some extra heat. The rice is always a little bit al dente, a little sweet, a lot of umami with that soy sauce and just bursting with flavors from all of the vegetables that they put in there like mushrooms, baby corn and other stuff. Wings : perfection in a wing. I never eat dry wings I usually like a sauce but a lot of Asian wings are not necessarily wet but have a lot of flavor. And these wings do not disappoint. They are sweet and salty and perfectly crispy. They have a strong garlic flavor and I am salivating just thinking about them. Riblets : These are AMAZING as well. They are little pork bites. They have the exact same flavor as the wings. I don't know how - but it works and I often can't choose between the two. Drunken noodles : This is my second favorite dish to get at a Thai restaurant and this is what holds this place back from five stars. Unfortunately I've had better drunken noodles elsewhere. I don't like that they use chopped up beef in the noodles (whereas it is strips in the rice). Also, the spice does not carry in this dish. I always get a 3/5 and it tastes like there's not one bit of chili pepper in there. Thai tea : There is much better Thai tea out there. This one is subpar. Malai kitchen has better Thai tea. S E R V I C E Service is always great because the interactions are minimal. There's one counter where you order your food or pick up your food and then you can choose to either sit at a table or leave. No one serves you beyond that. A M B I E N C E The inside is small and super cute. The outside is a half occupied strip mall in uptown? (what do we call this area lol) P R I C E - 12.99$ fried rice or drunken noodles (3$ surcharge for shrimp) - 3.99$ Thai tea - 8.99$ Wings or riblets R A T I N G 1 star off because the spice in the drunken noodles needs to improve. read more

Logistics: We came in around 8:45 pm on st. patrick's day. It wasn't too busy. Only two other tables but there was a lot of pick up orders. It's located in an empty office building so there's plenty of parking. Food: I think I've been spoiled with good lao/thai food. There wasn't anything bad about this place, but I also didn't love it. I usually order medium spice at any new restaurant so I can gage the spice levels so I ordered a 3/5 spicy for our drunken noodles. There was no spice to be found in those noodles. I was convinced they didn't add any spice. I could have ordered a 10/5 spiciness so I could at least feel something. Although, they did include a lot of meat with their noodles which I appreciate. The wings and pork giblets were good, but I would have liked them with a sauce. Ly Foods Market in Oak Cliff does it better. read more

Listen, this is my go-to Lao/Thai spot. The way they whip up that curry should be ILLEGAL. You can tell they take their time and simmer it correctly, honey! My fave are the crab cream cheese rolls, the Tom Kha is DIVINE with its savory sour taste, the Khao Poon with chicken if you're feeling under the weather, the Laab Salad, ALL OF THE CURRIES are to die for, just nail me to the cross like they did JESUS, because all of them are the BOMB! The do not MISS at Zaap! read more

Love the staff here! Everyone if so friendly and the manager is awesome. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. There's literally something for everyone.

Tried Zaap on a Sunday for family dinner via Uber Eats delivery. Food took a loonnggg time to even show that it was ready for pick up(over an hour), but I was pleasantly surprised once we got it. Ordered the Chicken Thai fried rice, wings, pad thai (special request for flat noodles), and spring rolls. The fried rice was very good. Great flavor. The spring rolls were good. The pad thai was good BUT I'm pretty sure it was drunken noodles. I think there may have been a mix up and they just put peanuts on top instead of fixing it. However, I was not bothered because it was still very good. The dish of the night? Those garlic wings. I was sad that I had to share the wings with my husband. They were SO good. I am a lover of garlic and this was a happy party on my tongue. You can tell they are marinated before cooking and they come out perfectly seasoned. The crispy garlic on top just seals the deal. I will definitely order from here again and next time get extra wings!! read more

Wow! The food was really great! The service was extremely customer friendly and swift. We got a lot of food not pictured because we couldn't wait to eat. I would definitely recommend the riblets, they were crispy and had great flavor. If you're a spicy fan, get level 4 or 5 for your plates. But ONLY if you are a true spicy fan. They do give you the option to go with 0 spiciness and have the chili sauce on the side to customize your spice level. If you get soup be sure to let it sit for a bit bc the temperature is hot! Overall was great experience. They take exceptional COVID safety measures. Will definitely be back. read more

Very nice staff when ordering and restaurant is clean! As an appetizer we got the cream cheese crab rolls and they were sooo good, i liked them better than Rangoon. My friend ordered the Khao Poon Chicken soup with the spice level at spicy, and it was amazing! It had lots of flavor and the perfect amount of spice. I got the pad Thai with shrimp protein and it also already came with tofu which was so yummy! As a drink we both got the coconut juice that had fresh coconut on the bottom and it was so refreshing. For desert, I've never seen these and had to give them a try, we got the Joy Macaron ice cream sandwiches. It was the perfect way to end the meal, we got a cookies and cream and dairy free coconut strawberry. Highly recommend going! They're open everyday from 11am-10 pm. read more

Hands down the absolute best red curry I've had in a very long time! It was super delicious, fresh, and filling. The summer rolls were good but missing tofu or something more substantial in it.

Great food, especially for take away (the space itself is a little small and generic).

Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Very clean, the food was 20 stars hot fresh perfect to my liking will visit this place evrytime for my go to. I ordered the crispy wings, 10stars. The Lao fried rice with shrimp, 10 stars. Crispy veggie egg rolls, 10 stars, also the Yellow Curry 10 stars. Marstella treated me with kind open arms and respect, her service made me call back to the restaurant after I was finished eating to thank her & also get her name to write this review, I barely write these. Great location great service PERFECT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Maybe I picked the wrong dish or came on the wrong night but review won't be the same as the others. I thought this would be a good place to get some soup. I couldn't decided on curry or soup. The nice order taker recommended the khao Poon Chicken which he said was a curry chicken noodle soup. Problem was that the noodles were soaked too long in water and refused to take on the flavor of the soup. The soup tasted watered down with a mush off noodles. I also ordered the crab cream cheese rolls and asked for soy sauce. The soy sauce they provide is hydrolyzed, not a fermented product like kikkoman and Full of ingredients I don't want in my body. It surprises me that an owner would allow someone to put fake soy sauce on food they have pride in allowing people to buy. Now I question all the ingredients you use across all your dishes. What other shortcuts are made that Im not aware of. Based on today's experience I don't think I'll be back. 2 stars for great order taker and waiter. read more

Met up with a friend to do some work and was starving. I ended up opting for Thai and found this place on DD. I ordered a basic chicken pad thai with no tofu or nuts and awaited for its arrival.

I was very pleased with my order and will order from them again. read more
