About Thai Zaap

Zaap means delicious.

Thai Zaap is a modern Thai restaurant concept built around bold flavor: the heat, the herbs and the brightness of Thai cooking, served in five neighborhoods across Southern California.

Thai spices in small bowls: dried chilies, coriander seeds, peppercorns, star anise and turmeric
Fresh lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, Thai basil and lime

The concept

Thai food is built on balance: spicy, sour, sweet and salty in every bite. Thai Zaap keeps that balance and gives the classics a modern, confident presentation.

Our menu covers appetizers and dim sum, salads, soups, curries, noodles, fried rice, seafood, desserts and a full drinks list, with lunch specials on weekdays and catering for groups.

Every dish can be made your way, from vegetables or tofu to chicken, beef, shrimp or mixed seafood, at the spice level you like.

Brightness
Lime, tamarind and fresh cilantro lift every plate, balancing the sweet, the salty and the spicy.

Coconut milk, curry pastes built from fresh roots and spices, and palm sugar add depth to our curries and desserts.
