“ Whats Zaap? A Vibrant Journey Through Authentic Thai Flavors Located in the lively southwest corner of Las Vegas, Whats Zaap? Thai Food has become a beloved haven for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine that resonates with genuine flavors and heartfelt traditions. This commitment to authenticity has recently graced the screen on the celebrated show Diners, DriveIns, and Dives Season 45, Episode 9, showcasing a menu bursting with vibrant, bold flavors rooted in Thai culinary heritage. Inspired by the buzz and eager to rekindle cherished memories of my travels through Thailand, I set out on a culinary adventure that promised to be as enchanting as the landscapes of that beautiful country. My evening commenced with a classic Thai appetizer that many have come to adore Chicken Satay. This dish was nothing short of a revelation, showcasing a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left me yearning for more. The chicken, carefully marinated in a medley of turmeric and spices, was grilled until it achieved a perfect balance of smoky exterior and tender interior. The aroma was inviting, and every bite was infused with depth and nuance. Accompanying this delightful skewer was a velvety peanut sauce with a triumphant mix of richness and subtle sweetness, offering a lovely contrast to the savory morsels. Adding an unexpected twist to the experience was a refreshing cucumber salad, whose bright acidity cut through the dishs richness beautifully. The crowning touch was a nostalgic addition of white toast, whose slightly crisp exterior and airy interior served as the ideal vessel for savoring the luscious saucean element that paid homage to the warmth of Thai traditions while imparting a whimsical charm. For the main course, I treated myself to a dish often dubbed the essence of comfort food in Thailand Spicy Basil Fried Rice or Pad Krapow, this time with succulent pork. Each grain of jasmine rice was thoroughly infused with the tantalizing essence of spicy garlic basil sauce, creating a fragrant allure that transported me directly to the bustling streets of Bangkok, where the scent of sizzling woks fills the air. Tender strips of handchopped pork melded effortlessly with an array of vibrant vegetables, including crunchy bell peppers and sweet onions, all of which danced in perfect harmony to create a fiery and aromatic dish. The flavor profile was unapologetically bold and embodied the pure, unfiltered spirit of Thai cuisine that I had longed to experience. Whats Zaap? It offers more than just a meal it provides an immersive experience that envelops diners in Thailands warmth, vibrancy, and authenticity. Each aspect of the restaurant, from the thoughtfully curated menu to the inviting ambiance adorned with cultural decor, reflects a deepseated passion for Thai culinary arts that resonates through every dish. This unique cultural experience, rich with narratives and traditions, is a testament to the global appeal of Thai cuisine. For anyone who yearns for a genuine taste of Thailand, Whats Zaap? Stands out as an indispensable destination in Las Vegas. My evening at this exceptional restaurant was a culinary odyssey that rekindled fond memories of my travels and reaffirmed the timeless appeal of traditional Thai flavors. Meticulously executed and profoundly evocative, Whats Zaap? It truly earns its esteemed place in the citys flourishing food scene, promising diners a journey of flavors long after the last bite has been savored. ”
“ This place deserves all the stars! The guava drinks were delicious, and the basil, red curry, and spring rolls were phenomenal. I adore the cheeky names of each section on the menu, and the funny graphic designs behind the items made this place stand out. Its perfect for a best friend date, family meal, or trying something new with someone special. Hostess was quick with our fooddrinks, and I loved how they played their Diner, DriveIns, and Dives episode on the tv by us. I will definitely be back in the future! ”
“ I recently dined at one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Vegas, and it did not disappoint. The curry was thick, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, capturing the essence of authentic Thai cuisine. The papaya salad was spot onrarely do you find such authenticity in many places. Each dish we tried had a homemade feel, showcasing genuine care in the preparation. The atmosphere was inviting, and the customer service was excellent. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend! ”
“ Took me a while to get here but it was worth the wait! I was gifted a gift card for Christmasbest gift ever most Thai places dont have gift cards. I wanted to take my son during the week so I could test the value of their lunch special as well as let him try their signature dishes. Lunch is offered MondayFriday until 300pm with a decent variety. I ordered the red curry level level 2 out of 4 and it was full bodied with a good amount of veggies and lots of basil. The lunch comes with a soup, salad, and soda for 14 bucks! Killer deal compared to local Thai places. The soup had many layers of flavor between the chicken to the fresh ginger I could tell that they take pride in what they offer as a side. The salad was different from any Thai place Ive tried it was like a citrus soy dressing over crisp veggies. I enjoyed that at the end. My son ordered the stuffed chicken wings and they were huge! The order is 2pc but its enough to share between 4 people for sure. They were stuffed with a yummy sausage and noodle mix served with sweet chili sauce and cucumbers. He loves pineapple so of course we had to go with the Pineapple fried rice its a true showstopper and I saw others in the restaurant with it so I know it would be good. They hollow out a fresh pineapple and stuff the it mountain high with fried rice. It had scallions, egg, pineapples, cashews and onions cooked to perfection with beautiful shrimp throughout. The shrimp was so perfect I almost think it could be poached? Could be wrong but it was very clean and soft. The owner brought it out himself and greeted my family. Whats Zaap?! Love when owners care about the customers experience. We ordered lunch Pad Se Ew for my daughter toddler approved it was flavorful with saute greens and chicken. My friend ordered the fried shrimp which came served in a cute fisherman basket with fried wonton and sweet chili sauce. The shrimp had some seasoning to it I cant tell what it was but it was delicious and different from most places who serve bland fried shrimp. She also had the Pad Se Ew lunch with Pork and said it was tender and amazing. ”
“ The cashier was super nice and helpful and our Thai dishes were great! We ordered the mango sticky rice deserts which were bomb. And then a padseew with tofu was solid and the Panang chicken curry was also super delicious. We will comeback for another round ”
“ To begin with, me and my wife went there for our first night on Valentines Day.... Yes someone forgot to call in ahead of time to reserve a table However the waitress was suuuper kind, she told us she could help us with a bit of a wait. We agreed and after 20 min we were already setting inside. They had a valentines menu, and let me tell you it was awesome. Food was delicious, service top notch and great ambiance. Definitely coming back fro some more Thai food. Btw, the mango sticky rice its sooo good ”
“ LOVED Gosh, everything! The food is as fresh as possible. The flavor is fresh and light and yet complex in the best way. Ive tried 1. Fresh spring rolls the best Ive ever had with freshly made peanut sauce you can buy some and bring it home again the best Ive ever had. 2. the Waterfall Salad with Beef SO GOOD. 3. The cucumber salad fresh and delicious. 4. C4 Crunchy Chicken. 5. Spicy Basil wet pork a very distinct flavor. Very good if you like that flavor I liked the Waterfall salad better, but my husband loved the pork. Staff is friendly. Atmosphere is colorful and fun. I love the video showing the food assembly. LIKED The service. The first time we went they were super busy and it took a while to get our food. They are looking for more staff if you are a great employee head over to them. I bet they are great employers. The C4 dish. Its not a main dish and barely a side dish. Its a delicious taster. I have no complaints about this place. If you havent been it is a must go! ”
“ We have tried a number of local restaurants in Las Vegas and other states, and this is by far the best we have discovered. We rate this Thai restaurant five stars. It is evident that the meal is prepared right away as you place your order and is quite fresh. Their chefs are excellent, and their food is well presented. The waitstaff is incredibly polite and friendly, and they are trained to deliver 5star service. We swing over on Fridays because we work close by and take advantage of the promotions offered Monday through Friday. We also get to sample a variety of their menu items. On a family weekend, we went to this eatery as well. We really made the decision to sample a variety of foods from their menu, and I can assure you that we werent let down the food is excellently prepared and readily shared by two people. We treat them to a fivestar presentation, fivestar cuisine, and fivestar service. ”
