Thai Zappz Authentic Cuisine

BLUF/SUMMARY: About time I wrote this review - best Thai food in Kansas City metro area and was our go-to place when we lived there. Authentic flavors overall, but esp with the street food options… something that I have never seen here in the US since we moved here over 30 years ago.

DETAILS: We moved away from the area almost 2 years now, and we severely miss this place. The food was the best, and we knew the owners well. I owe them this review not because we are biased, but because it was really good food.

Growing up in Bangkok, frequenting the street vendors for faves like Bami Heng and Bami Nam (street noodles dry or with soup) and saving/spending my allowance on it… that was pure nirvana. I never tasted anything like it in over 30 years, except for when I or my family made it from scratch. This is the first place that actually cooked it just like it was back then. They have the right amount of crispy garlic oil, and Moo Deng (bbq pork).

Other favorites - like Som Tam (papaya salad) are spot on with the balance of lime, fish sauce, and Thai bird chiles. The Tod Mun (fish cakes) are spot on - again, also pretty rare to find at Thai restaurants in general.

My wife loves the Khao Soi - curried noodles with crispy tofu. Their yellow curry is also very good, my son’s fave.

They even offer mango with sweet sticky rice that we get every so often.

To Pi (owner) and his staff, you probably know who is writing this review… but thank you for bringing me closer to my childhood memories and putting me right next to the noodle street vendor anxiously waiting to spend my $5 baht while I wiped the drool off my face. We miss you and will visit you again soon.

This is our favorite Thai restaurant. The food always tastes fresh. The yellow curry dishes are our favorite but everything we have tried has been great! We come here at least twice a month. They are accommodating to our toddler as well.
