Is it authentic? Idk, I haven't been to Thailand, and neither have you. Let's be real you'd probably hate the food there, Sharon. This place has been and still continues to be my FAVORITE Thai food spot as a well travelled American who hasn't been to Thailand. By far. I highly recommend crispy chicken pad Thai or drunken noodle. And the crab rangoons too, but nothing on this menu had ever done me wrong since my first visit in 2013
Positives Friendly staff and good food. While the drunken noodles was a bit down, no biggie.
Negatives I found it quite pricey, especially for the portion sizes. A typical dish would be $12-15 at most places, here the prices start at $19, with smaller portions.

I was searching for some vegan options in Ogunquit and landed in so Zap. There is a lot of vegan options and the Green Curry was really good. Also the fresh Rolls were so tasty. The staff was friendly and Took Care. The Only minus was the outside location itself as it looked cheap and not cozy.

Friendly staff and fresh tasting food. The “flavorful” part is hit or miss. The pad see ew was wonderful but the pad Thai was near tasteless. The dumplings were not exciting and the fresh spring rolls were missing the characteristic chilled shrimp. Biggest issue was the small portion sizes and above average prices. Each serving was just enough for one person rather than a standard Asian restaurant 1.5-2x portion for that price

Food was cold and never asked us for refills on drinks and the restaurant was slow. Also she got very sick last night as the PadThai was NOT gluten free as it says on the menu. Be careful if u are sensitive to gluten.

Very authentic Thai food with fresh veggies. Easy to adapt a lot of menu items to be vegan.

Extremely long wait after ordering. Incorrect orders came out. Pretty good food though.

The food is authentic Thai food and the taste is just right. Amazing and friendly staff. Definitely would recommend this family run restaurant.
Two appetizers, four entrees, no dessert or alcohol and with tip and tourist tax (we are locals) we dropped 135.00. Yikes. Paid extra for chicken in the pad Thai but it was a treasure hunt trying to find any. Food was decent but sticker shock, along with 12.00 an hour parking means this will probably be the only visit.

Long-time customer of Mekong Thai in kennebunk i've been going for 15 years. Occasionally, we go to Wells Mekong Thai location as well, so we decided to give So Zap a shot.
First, I'll say it's very overpriced, the menu is 30% more than similar restraunts. I paid $52 for 2 entrees and no appetizers. I would have ordered appetizers if they weren't $12+ each. (Also no appetizer combo) Now, this pricing would be justified if they provide better food and portions, but this was not the case. The restaurant was dead too, not a customer in sight. Lady who took my order and cashed me out was very friendly.
Now for the really bad Im 99 % sure the rice portions served were microwaved in a fold and close bag. Also the bagged rice only filled half the box so not enough for the entrees. See my images. You can see the steam formed inside the bag from microwaving it, and the plastic was like sealed closed from melting a bit. Really disgusting, I don't understand why they prepped it ahead like this it's similar to what a chain restaurant like Tgi Fridays or something like that. Gf was very upset about the rice bag situation neither her or I have ever had it comes like this. Also the lack of rice for her green curry. (Shrimp unpeeled) Now i have to make my own rice..
THIS IS NOT OK FOR $52 BUCKS PLUS TIP! This is an upscale Thai restaurant in an expensive town. You can't serve rice in a baggie like that! You can't charge more for an inferior experience. Mekong thai has never cut corners like this. It's worth the drive just go there. (Especially Kennebunk) 2 stars because im feeling jolly this Christmas week but should be a 1
Sorry guys, get it together.

The food was absolutely disgusting and way over priced. I was food sick that night and in the hospital for two days.
