Zab Linda exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. The quality of service was top-notch, and I truly felt valued and appreciated. It’s rare to find such dedication and passion, and it really shows in everything they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zab Linda to anyone looking for excellence. Can’t wait to come back again!

So delicious!! Got their pad thai with shrimp, pang ang curry with chicken and thai tea. Will definitely be going back

Small but adorable restaurant, with Thai and Laotian dishes. Chicken larb was pretty good, and so was the iced tea. Service is good, it is a cozy place so nobody could be ignored. Staff is good at answering questions, pacing service and refilling drinks.

Always great food and a chill vibe. We got a lychee martini and Thai iced tea, plus wonton egg drop soup (highly recommend adding the wontons) and pad thai. Everything was super solid. We like sitting in the corner—it’s cozy and always a good time.

Why do they charge $2 for rice when you order curry??? People don't eat curry by itself. I've eaten in restaurants in North, Central, and South Thailand, and in Thai restaurants up and down the US East and West coasts, and all included rice in their curry entrees. This seems unnecessarily greedy. Our Thai friends find it weird and unacceptable. Otherwise, the food is authentic and delicious. Our friends got Red Curry Beef and Green Curry Chicken. We got Crispy Rice Salad and Beef Boat Noodles Soup. They all were very good and authentic. The atmosphere is great, making you feel like you stepped into a local restaurant in Northern Eastern Thailand. Minus one star for charging $2 for rice that should be included with curries.

Edit: unfortunately I have to bring it down to 1 star after the staff decided to add a $5 tip to my credit card even though we left a cash tip… After looking at reviews on Yelp, seems like this is a common occurrence
Food was really good, but I second that charging $2 for rice for dishes that should automatically come with rice is really annoying.
Never in my life have I ordered curry and not received rice. The curry was $15 and a side of rice was an extra charge. In the end I paid for the rice because who can eat curry without rice. The curry had good flavor but I honestly wasn’t blown away. I was just shocked by them not including rice in the price.

Best fried rice I’ve ever had. Had the salmon fried rice and it was incredible. Highly recommend!

Tasty food, we enjoyed our crab fried rice and drunken noodles. Be sure to have water or milk tea nearby. Mild heat is about a 5/10. We are not able to share it with our toddler.

I’ve been coming here for the longest time even before their rebrand, and still so good. I don’t have all the photos I’ve ever taken while eating here so here’s just from the most recent time. Had the Khao soi and it was great.
