Just not very good Thai food :( and it was super cold inside. I don’t think the door shuts all the way so it’s hard to enjoy eating here in the winter. Sorry to say it but that’s the way it is… but not the best experience for a few reasons.

Small and cozy, this restaurant serves generous portions of authentic Northern and Northeastern Thai food. The dishes were uniformly excellent and well-prepared. We ordered somtum Thai, which was tasty and typically hot; laab moo (ground pork salad), Isaan sausages, and kow soy with chicken, which I highly recommend. Forget the fried rice, get the kow soy, a very tasty noodle dish in sauce, served in a bowl.
The service was also excellent, Thao was a cheerful...

Zabb PuTawn is hands down the best laid-back, no-frills, authentic Thai restaurant in my neighborhood. It doesn’t try to be trendy or overcomplicated, it just focuses on doing the food right, and it shows every single time I visit. The service is always warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes the experience even better.
The food is consistently excellent, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. And if you love spice, this place truly delivers....
