This place was so cute and the owners are absolutely lovely. I went out to lunch with a friend and it was absolutely delicious! I got a green curry while she got a red. As you can see, the presentation is beautiful and let me tell you… it tastes as good as it looks! Of course if you visit, you gotta get the Thai tea, and we couldn’t help a little sweet treat. Everything was phenomenal (especially the service). Definitely on of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Had a craving all week for this Thai Coconut Soup! Super refreshing, and incredibly delicious! Got a Thai Tea on the side that gave me that extra kick i needed in the afternoon. The outdoor patio seating is private and surrounded by flowers. Great price too! Most people will spend about $15-$20 per person!

Cute, cozy, no-frills Thai restaurant with a super friendly staff and all your favorite classics dishes cooked to perfection. I visited Zab Zab for dinner after a long day of exploring the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so we were absolutely famished. We tried their tom yum soup, cashew stir fry, mango coco curry, and pad see ew, all of which were delightful. The tom yum was refreshing and creamy, with a great balance of coconut milk and spice. It had a generous portion of veggies and tofu, and the fire pot it was served in was super fun. My second favorite had to be the mango coco curry — it was refreshing and fruity, yet perfectly savory and slightly spicy. It was a bit sweet from the fruit, but that helped balance out the other spices and flavors. The shrimp was tender, and I loved the chunks o

This is so far the best Thai I had in and around sfo . The Thai basil fried rice was so good rich in flavour , the panang curry is a must try.We were here on a Saturday night and the place was really busy , will definitely recommend to reserve ahead . Small cute place with authentic taste . The serving needs to be little more accommodating during the weekends , an amazing place and must visit Thai place .
