We had our credit charge overcharged by $80…watch out travellers. Make sure you demand a receipt for Jen you add the trip. Our grid had also made a booking and it wasn’t recorded when we arrived.

I'm a bit torn on this place but ultimately have to give it a 2.

My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant around 11am on a Saturday for brunch. Thus, we expected to get served quickly. However, our entrees took over 25 minutes to arrive. I got the fried rice which was unbelievably bland, underseasoned, etc. Like, I was actually in shock at how bad it was, and my friend agreed. So, for the first time in my life, I sent a dish back to the kitchen and requested the burger instead. It turns out, their chef didn't show up that day so some random worker cooked the fried rice. No wonder it was laughably bland.

After 10 minutes, the server came out and said they didn't have the ingredients for the burger. At this point, I was so over it and just decided to get whatever they recommended. Finally, that was decent tasting.

I ended up tipping the default 20% but almost wish I hadn't, because the experience honestly was ridiculous. No level of service can excuse the poor management of ingredients, food, and customer satisfaction.

Cannot recommend Zaab Zaab enough. The food is so delicious and authentically Thai. Extremely fresh and varied flavors. The servers were super helpful with the menu, recommending some amazing dishes! Also whatever that lime gimlet is, it was fantastic. This will be my new go to Thai spot. Also great for groups with several large tables!

I'm thoroughly impressed with this place, which is stunningly beautiful and has exceptional staff. The food is also outstanding, and I particularly enjoyed the Ka Pow, which I ordered extra spicy - it's incredibly flavorful and delicious. I'll definitely be returning very soon.

The restaurant is spacious and we were able to get a walk-in table on a Saturday night. Service is fast and friendly and everything is fairly priced for this neighborhood. Would highly recommend the crab fried rice, which is one of the best I’ve had in New York, as well as its papaya salad, steamed Branzino, and marinate shrimps (very spicy). The steak kra pao was the only disappointing dish we ordered, which was dry and lacking in flavors.

Horrible service. I waited almost 40 minutes for my main course. I didn't want to be pushy and rush them, but no one checked on me or even bothered to take away the empty dish from my appetizer. I patiently waited until the waiter came by, but he came to ask if I wanted my check! I was shocked and told him that I hadn't even received the main course I ordered. He said he would check with the kitchen for me. When he came back, he said they were out of that item and asked if I wanted to order something else. After waiting for over 40 minutes, they finally told me they didn't have the item I ordered! They wasted my time, and it's ridiculous. He offered me a free coffee or tea (and after I have paid and stood up and about to leave), Seriously?! They should be paying for my appetizer and drink after making me wait for over 40 minutes for nothing! The service is horrible. He was in a pissy mood also (to everyone), They only had five tables to serve, but the two waiters were busy focusing on their delivery orders. This whole incident could have been avoided if only the waiter would come by check on my table just ONCE instead of me sitting for one hour and never came by, he only came over after one hour to ask me if I want my check!!!!! I do not recommend this place, and I will not go back.

Despite the food being good, my table was on the curb in an unpleasant shaded area because the AC wasn't on inside. I sweated in the heat outside, but still managed to enjoy my meal.

The pad see ew was super interesting because it came with pork and bacon (?), I really enjoyed it.

Chicken wings were flavorful and the beef hot pot kinda tasted like pho. Interesting but we would not get it again.

We are looking forward to coming back and trying other items like crab fried rice and drunken noodles!

This place is so much better than their location at pier 57.

The crab dish was SO good. I got the 2nd level spice which was perfect for this dish. The curry is on the noodles and you can eat the whole crab. If you want to have your curry with rice, you’ll need to order that on the side. Had the papaya salad as well. Good but we had it with the 3rd spice level (the hottest) and we couldn’t enjoy the salad as much :/
