Hidden Gem in Lockport Illinois. Super service by owner. Food is surprisingly fresh and made healthy and wholesome ingredients. Love their crab Rangoon and spring rolls! The best we ever had. Tried many items on the menu extremely pleased with everything flavor texture freshness. read more

Vegan? options I like: *let them know your vegan* I get the Pad See Ew no egg/ with tofu. And white rice. there is other things too I just like this dish in general. Fast service- can call ahead to order too. Ambiance- better to take out. But you can eat there too. read more

We were looking for some cleaner fresh food as a late lunch option and buy are we happy we found this spot. They greeted us as soon as we walked in and gave us a menu full of tastey utemd to choose from. I ended up going with chicken pad thai with fried rice. It was delicious. We also did some chicken and beef appetizers also a great start. My wife ordered won ton soup that had shrimp won tons. It was hit when it arrived and tasted amazing. My wife also went with cashew chicken and she said it was perfect. Highly recommended. Spacious room for guests inside, clean. Even has pillows to sit on if you need it for the hard wood bench. read more

We were in the area and wanted to grab lunch. We don't have a good Thai place close to us so we decided to try Zaap Zaap. It's a small place and they seem to do a decent amount of take out. It's clearly a mom and pop shop. The gentleman who took our order was helpful and answered a couple of questions. I got the Pad Kee Maw with chicken which I usually order at Thai places, and my husband got the Panang Curry with beef. Both were served when ready which meant my order came first. My husband really liked the Curry and took home the remaining broth. My Pad Kee Maw was very tasty however I would have liked a bit more vegetables. I wound up taking 1/2 of it home! Overall very good food and a real value. read more

Awesome! Nice folks. Family owned. Enjoyed the food. Thank you rocking something other than fast food garbage in our community.

The food is so fresh and they have really nice size portions. Best crab rangoons and the beef sticks are actual steak. read more

The pad Thai wasn't good. It was missing the lime, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, and even shredded cabbage and carrots. There wasn't enough scrambled egg either. Disappointing. read more

First timbeen there twice now, pad thai tbe first time chicen and cashew the 2nd time. Both dishes were delicious Highly recommend the place. read more

Came here after hearing good things about it. It turned out to be true and we had a pretty good meal. Zaap Zaap Thai is in fact one of the best restaurants in Lockport and that is the truth. Even though it's in a strip mall it's not some crappy looking counter order place like you think it might be. There's also teas which help you cool off from eating spicy ass stuff. Basic favorites are on the menu. It's got the usual stuff like curries and noodles. There's also the boba tea. It's about $5 a cup. There's fruity and milky teas. As for the food, you can get something flaming ass hot. It's about $12 for an entree, pretty big portions. She got some Green Curry with tofu. I had the Pad See Ewe. This can be made vegan without eggs, and you get a choice of protein. Good thing we got cold tea because the food was spicy ass hot. It only was the mildly hot so don't be hard and get the hottest because you will cry like a baby when it burns your mouth. There's plenty of variety including curries, noodles, and rice items for meat eaters and vegetarians. read more

Zaap Zaap Thai - Boba Tea And Pad See Ewe - Thai Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

I hate when I have to give a bad review but my personal opinion food was very greasy. Lack flavor that these entrees are known for.. Believe me I tried to enjoy it but I couldn't..... Knowing I was going to do a review for them. I ordered a few different entrees but I can honestly say I didn't enjoy. Not one of them. I feel like I threw $60 at the window. I certainly don't mind spending money when the food is good.. I would recommend they should try ordering from other Thai restaurants and see the difference... One of my favorite Thai restaurants is white crane creative Thai in Forest Park.. food is light, not greasy... One of my pet peeves about walking into a restaurant is dirty glass windows..... Your first judgment of a restaurant happens when you're one foot in, your first glance you are looking to see if it's clean. How the appearance is.....Im very sorry Zaap Zaap Thai I definitely will not return... read more

Zaap Zaap is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. It's our go to for every special occasion because we love it so much. I can't remember the last birthday I had when I didn't request it. You literally can't find better Asian cuisine anywhere around. You absolutely get what you pay for. The crab rangoon is the BEST I have EVER had. Our other go-to orders are the potstickers, fried rice, drunk man noodles (absolute HEAVEN), stir fried glass noodles, and moo dang with jasmine rice. Plus, the owner is SO kind and considerate. It deserves all the hype in the world. I will go here until I die. read more

Had the Spring Rolls and Panang Curry, outstanding! Nice cozy spot; hard to find Thai food this good

Ordered to go from here 3 times now. The food is so fresh and excellent. When you say super spicy. They deliver. We just moved here and this is one of our favorite restaurants around. Very big portions too. read more

Excellent Thai. We had the beef Thai salad (yum nua), larb gai, and the guay tiew. All with that homemade flavor. Great homemade Thai tea also! read more

I had their Drunken noodles, the noodles were over cooked. The vegetables were too crisp. The place would probably be okay for take out. Pretty bare bones for eating in. Won't be going back. read more

Zaap Zaap Thai is a good Thai restaurant in the area. I had the beef stir fry which was good - all fresh vegetables and beef with rice (could be spicier though). The green curry with chicken was also good and had a nice flavor to it. The prices were all reasonable and meals are good and they have friendly service and a small dining area if you want to eat there, I'd recommend if you're in the area and want some Thai food. read more

Zaap Zaap Thai - Beef Stir Fry - Thai Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

Do NOT get the shrimp pad thai!!! Was discussing!!! It's one of my favorite dishes what a waste

I was right- this became our go-to Thai place. Everything is still fresh and delicious. We've never ordered anything we didn't like. E1 and E2 are favorites. We've never actually eaten inside the restaurant though- we always do take out. Food is always ready on time and in a timely manner. Call early on weekend nights because they do get very busy then. My only complaint is they aren't open on Mondays ;) read more

You guys! This place is delicious. Fresh wonderful food. Best Thai in the area by far.

Stopped in for some lunchtime Thai. Chose the Green Curry with chicken, and the Drunk Man Noodle with chicken dishes. Both delicious on their own, but a hybrid combination between the two was spectacular. I'll be back for sure. read more

Very pleased with the vegetable/tofu pad tai. I ordered mild and it has a perfect amount of zing to it; also like the way they cut their carrots! Joyful, friendly service and clean/comfortable restaurant. read more

One of the best if not the best pad Thai in the area. Staff is super friendly too. Highly recommend this place, get the fried squid too you won't regret it. read more

I would have to say that they have the best tasting Thai food in the area but unfortunately, their operating hours are limited (they close at 7:30 pm. The last time I got to eat there with my golf buddies, I decided to order Pad Thai for take out to bring for my wife but I was told they ran out of Pad Thai so I ordered Pad See Ewe and was told that it was going to be a 45 minute wait. read more

First I would like to say the restaurant was clean and service was good. We had the pad see ew and papaya salad. The pad see was too oily for us. They didn't have Thai coffee when we went in but we did have Thai tea. i would be willing to try it again as I think there is an opportunity for improvement read more

Called to place carryout. Told 40 minutes wait. Ordered Beef Pad Kee Mow( medium spicy). I have to learn to order thai food mild I guess. Beware of heat level. Beef was chewy and had gristle in some of it. The mango bubble smoothie was great. read more

My family and I have eaten here at least 25 times, and every single time it has been great. I'm not sure of what the reviews are or why they are from a couple of the posters but take it from an elite yelper this place is rocksolid beats out any type place that I've had in the south burbs and is head-to-head with noodles in the pot in Chicago. I have had at least 10 different entrées and everything has been fresh, delicious, and well prepared. Take it from someone and give it a chance and please post your review good or bad give this place a credit it deserves, and let it not be ruined by impossible to please people. This restaurant just opened at 11:50 1 E. 9th St. in Lockport. It's the first time restaurant to open in town. The inside is very nice there are sox 2 person tables and three 4 person tables inside is very nice lighting with an industrial feel there are some nice artwork on the walls depicting the time country side and the other pictures. We open the menu and found things that we like I ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken and the chicken satay they call it Gai Satay. the Tom kha soup which is Thai coconut I had and sour soup was four dollars for chicken five dollars for shrimp the menu description is tying famous coconut hot and sour soup, chicken or shrimp, mushrooms, cabbage, and it taste the coconut and Galanga herb broth, topped with cilantro. The soup While spicy is amazingly delicious and has a lot of chili flakes in it but all the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The start of the soup aside from the chicken is the straw mushrooms I love straw mushrooms and this place delivers them Everything was hot and fresh and homemade it tasted if we were in someone's kitchen it was that good. This is a very bad thing because we love Thai we will speed spending a lot of money here. For those of you that get here quickly on August 1 second and third they are offering free drinks anytime milk tea smoothie or a tiny pink a smoothie or a tiny green tea smoothie read more

I'll try to be brief... this was one of, if not, the best Thai places I have ever had. The food was phenomenal, service was friendly, and atmosphere was cute. I had the green curry, a staple for me , and they did not let me down, it was delicious. The crab Rangoons were also the best I've ever had; a crunchy and flakey crust filled with an even tastier inside. This is a new favourite, I highly recommend. read more

This is great Thai food! Don't be put off by the simple interior. You can eat there but probably better to take out. We had the Pad Thai and the sweet and sour chicken - very reasonably priced. I will go there every time I am in the area. read more

Will not be around long. Got tom yum soup (the worst i have ever had), rice wrap rolls (worst i have had), red curry (acceptable, i think) and ground chicken/Pad Kra Prao Gai [Fried spicy basil leaves with Chicken] (good). So i pretty much love thai food and have had it everywhere in the U.S. and outside. I like and appreciate all the interpretations and do not write negative reviews unless i think it's necessary. But when food is made with haste and/or without concern, it shows. Maybe this place is going out of business and there is little care left for the customer. read more

We just tried Zaap Zaap for the first time and it was phenomenal! We ordered carry out and each got a different dish. I got the red curry veggie style so it came with tofu and some more veggies than what is in the description. It was spicy just the way I like it and very flavorful. My dad got Pad Kee Mow (drunk man noodle) with beef (spicy) and it was his first time trying Thai food. He can't stop raving about how delicious it was. My mom got the Pad Nam Prig Pow with beef (medium spice) and also thought it was very good. Her first Thai experience as well. I'm not sure why people left bad reviews on Yelp because this place is great. We will definitely be going back! read more

All I can really say is, after my 1st take out experience, I will not be going back. Our order included vegetarian Pad Thai (the litmus test) & Beef in Oyster sauce. Both were lacking flavor& flavors present were "off". The beef was fatty & I just don't want to complain further. Cannot recommend & am stymied by the current 5/5 star rating. read more
