Zaap Thai

Came here in the afternoon on a Friday when it wasn't too busy. I heard that Portland has a lot of great Thai restaurants. This place lives up to that reputation.Crab Rangoon - The outside was crispy and the filling was delicious.Khao Soi- The chicken drumsticks were tender. The noodles had a nice bite to it. The broth was flavorful and had a nice heat to it. I almost finished the entire broth.Service - Service was quick and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wanted good Thai food.

Oh no! I am so sad! I ordered the Tom Kha, pumpkin curry, pad thai with tofu and salad rolls. Unfortunately, both the Tom Kha and Pumpkin curry were extremely watery. The Tom Kha tasted very thin, one dimensional, and was completely white in color. It was sweet but lacked a lot of other complexity of flavor that I am used to in Tom Kha. So bummed as this is my favorite fall/ winter soups. The Pumpkin curry was also really runny and thin, better flavor but again lacked dimension. Pad thai was good, good balance of flavors and salad rolls were good, peanut sauce was warm. Tons of veggies in all the food and veggies were fresh. The service was prompt as we had take out and took about 25 minutes on a Friday night. Unfortunately I wont be back. I have better Tom Kha to find in town!

The service here stood out! We came for a late lunch and were offered seating anywhere we wanted. Our order was taken super quickly and the food arrived within minutes. Food was pretty good! I've had cheaper pad Thai but at $14 it also wasn't the most expensive. My pad Thai felt like a decent portion and I had some leftovers! While I wasn't blown away by what I ordered, I was really impressed by the service.

The restaurant is well decorated and very enjoyable to dine in.Everything we ordered was absolutely on point and very authentic. All our dishes were made Vegan - Most of the menu can be made Vegan with multiple plant based proteins. The Hawaiian Fried Rice with Tempeh was unique and delicious. The salad rolls were fresh and the papaya salad was tropical and also different yet something we finished in minutes.My absolute favorite is the Pad Kee Mao. Easily one of the best Pad Kee Maos I've had, and this city has a lot of good options. Very authentic aroma and taste, well cooked noodles and a decent amount of veggies/tofu. Note: the food is spicy!! We kept everything a 2/5 and it tasted like a medium besides the papaya salad which was still spicy, so something to consider. I can't imagine getting a 4 or 5/5 on spice, lord have mercy. Price wise, everything is reasonable for the quality taste and quantity that you get. Even the service was great, with the owner (I think) chatting with the tables and checking in often as well. If you haven't gone yet you definitely should, it's worth it!

Delicious spot. Soft seating and relatively fast service.I ordered a tofu pad Thai. Where I first was really inyroecied to pad Thai was a place in Michigan and it set the standard for memmost places in the west especially use a sweet tarty paste. In the east I find they use a more fishy flavor.Anyway this place seems be be a moderate balance of both. Which is quite delightful. I was very pleased with the right balance. Sufficiently large enough portion size where you don't eat so much that your bloated and not small enough that you feel you want more.

The food lives up to the restaurant's name Zaap, which means delicious!! The food was fresh and the curry was velvety. The spices invite you to keep taking another bite. Brother and sister running it are sweet and friendly. Enjoyable meal.

Yum some of the best Pad Se Ew I've had outside of Thailand in years. I had the pleasure of visiting on a chilly day and I indulged in some Tom Kha before ordering noodles. I must have said Pad Kee Mao on accident or have been misheard but out came the wrong dish. The server was super nice about it and encouraged me to take the incorrect dish home for roommates. I'm visiting, so I didn't have a roommates or a place to store the food so I gave it to a houseless person near my hotel to keep passing on the good will. The food o had at Zaap was all delicious and I only wish I hadn't eaten it so fast to enjoy it more :)

One of my favorite Thai spots, great curries, very flavorful and rich. My go to is usually the Duck Curry, which a lot of places don't always have. Served in a green curry with assorted veggies and grape tomatoes which give a nice pop and juicyness, tho last time I wish there was more duck and less grape tomatoes. The interior is pretty small and cozy with just a few tables and little bar. Not good for groups at least without calling ahead so they can rearrange tables for you. The guy there is really cool too.

5 stars and my mouth begins to water as I write this, days after we ate here. Having spent many months in SE Asia, and much of that in Thailand, I've become a critic. The owner is a lovely person who told us that she travels to her hometown multiple times per year to source her spices. I don't doubt it for a minute -- the flavors are fantastic. As she is from Isaan, the dishes that correspond to that region are particularly good. No notes here.

Some of the best Thai in town :). Avocado curry was so delicious. My very picky kid loves the pad Thai so much!
