Zaab Zaab is a restaurant that offers excellent Thai food with a higher spice profile. Known for its authenticity, it is considered one of the best Thai restaurants in NYC. The noodle dishes and minced duck are particularly delicious, while other standout items include larb ped udon, crab fried rice, and the tom sum gai hot pot. Customers can enjoy their meals with a Hazy IPA, Thai iced tea, or coffee. The restaurant serves unique and delicious Northeastern Thai cuisine, which is different from the typical Thai fare found in New York City. Dishes like Tom Hang (tripe and spleen cooked to perfection), Nan Khao Tod (a flavor explosion of crispy rice and fermented pork sausage), and a must-try salt-baked fish are also featured on the menu. The atmosphere is super cute and inviting, with a bright, welcoming interior that creates a pleasant dining experience. The servers are attentive and friendly, with Mimi and Ben providing excellent teamwork and service. Many customers praise the fried rice and som-tum, which remind them of authentic flavors from Chiang Mai and Isaan. The seafood hotpot and fried fish are also highly recommended, with some reviews noting that the place serves remarkably good food with good standards across the board. Beverages are limited to wine and beer, but the food more than makes up for it. The owners are heavily involved in local food relief efforts, making it a place customers feel good about supporting. Overall, Zaab Zaab offers a memorable dining experience with flavorful dishes and a warm atmosphere.
