Honestly, the only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that the prices are pretty nuts. I was paying an average price of $8 for Pad Thai in Seattle less than a decade ago and this was somehow $20. There's not that many eggs in it. After an order of spring rolls and a side bowl of rice, I paid $45 for lunch after tip.

That being said, the rest of the experience is definitely 5 star. The food was delicious and the flavors distinct and vivid. It completely lived up to the hype. I'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu but I won't be there as often as I'd like because of the prices. The spring rolls were also delicious and a good size. The ambiance is OK. My wife loves Weera Thai, who also have excellent food because of the ambiance so after you factor in the higher cost to eat here, i doubt that I'm going to dislodge her from that being her first pick. All in all, The only bad thing I can say about this spot is that their prices are way too high but that is a significant factor in our eat out choices. This is the most expensive Thai spot I've ever eaten and they're on the wrong side of the tipping point when There are other spots with great food that charge less but offer a more elegant dining experience with food of similar quality.

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. It's perfect for a best friend date, family meal, or trying something new with someone special. 😉

Hostess was quick with our food+drinks, and I loved how they played their Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives episode on the tv by us.

I will definitely be back in the future!

To begin with, me and my wife went there for our first night on Valentine's 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 it’s sooo good 😮‍💨

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 on—rarely 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!

**What's Zaap?: A Vibrant Journey Through Authentic Thai Flavors**

Located in the lively southwest corner of Las Vegas, What's 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, Drive-Ins, 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 dish's 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 sauce—an 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 hand-chopped 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.

What's Zaap? It offers more than just a meal; it provides an immersive experience that envelops diners in Thailand's warmth, vibrancy, and authenticity. Each aspect of the restaurant, from the thoughtfully curated menu to the inviting ambiance adorned with cultural decor, reflects a deep-seated 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, What's 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, What's Zaap? It truly earns its esteemed place in the city's flourishing food scene, promising diners a journey of flavors long after the last bite has been savored.

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 weren't let
down; the food is excellently prepared and
readily shared by two people. We treat them to a five-star presentation, five-star cuisine, and five-star service.

This was, by far, the best Thai food I’ve ever had. This funky little place is the perfect spot for a dinner date or lunch with your bff. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful. The presentation was top tier. Fabulous service. I can’t wait to come back.

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

What a gem.... We will be back. Tx

First time here, saw it on DDD and was wonderful. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere , quirky and fun.

Panang Curry - a little too sweet, but I can still take it, I didn’t care about the bell pepper tho, I think the vegetable choice can be better.

Green Curry - less sweet than Panang Curry, it has more vegetable choices than Panang Curry too, basil taste was good, beef works with it, beef quality wasn’t bad.

Tom Yum Soup - extremely sour, barely any vegetables. The chicken had no flavor.

Pad Thai presentation was beautiful, I didn’t care about the sour taste, so I didn’t like it. It’s spicy, so make sure to choose degree 1.

The price is very high.

To begin with, me and my wife went there for our first night on Valentine's Day.... Yes someone forgot to call in ahead of time to reserve a table 🥲

I will definitely be back in the future!

The quality of the food and presentation is way ahead of the norm for the price point. This IS our new favorite Thai place. Lots of interesting menu options. We will definitely be regulars.

I ordered to-go pad Thai. . No receipt, no rice, no soup container. Took 1/2 an hour. The sauce was superb other than that I'm a light eater and still hungry after such a tiny portion 2 pieces of tofu only , there were bean sprouts No noodles. Needless to say I won't go back.

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

Great dining experience! Expensive but worth the presentation..

Ordered close to about $100 worth of food. When I got my orders with peanut sauce like the fresh springs rolls, it literally came with only a small 3.25 oz cup. There were 4 rolls. It was barely enough for 2 when used sparingly.

Edited: Thank you for your kind response. Will continue to order delicious food from your establishment.

As seen on Diners Drive-ins and Dives, the food is authentic - delicious and beautiful! Highly recommended!!

Chef took time to chat with us - when we asked about Sticky Rice with Mango, Chef offered to check the quality of the mango, to be sure the mango was high quality

Definitely worth visiting What's Zaap

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had.

Might be the best Thai curry I’ve ever had!

Good food. I got the papaya salad lao style. Bid portion. I give it a 8 out of 10. The laab 7 out of 10. It was a little sweet. I'm laos lao laab isn't sweet. But the portion is good. I got the sugarcane can drink. It was refreshing. Comes with a piece of frozen sugarcane to chow on. Taste like it was fresh squash with no sugar 😋. Will definitely come back. Must try you won't be disappointed.

One of the best authentic Thai food in town!
I highly recommend this place for people who experience authentic Thai food.

Love this place my favorite Thai place

Great food but could do without msg, knorr, or seasoning powder/sauce because other sauce already have msg added.
Atmosphere: sometimes when we dine in, restaurant has some smell. Perhaps grease traps smell.

Pad Thai was delicious, same with the spring rolls. Will absolutely be back!

Worst food order ever. Fried rice was tasteless and meat was raw. Had to throw it.

Food was delicious! Got the tom kha, panang curry and the spring rolls. Place was clean and our server was the sweetest!

Incredible crab curry. Rare to get so much fresh crab meat

Food was delicious but took a long time to be served. Took around 30+ minutes for the food to come out even though there was only 1 other table in the whole restaurant. I would order to go next time :)

One of my most favorite places to eat. Everything is wonderful and the staff is very friendly.

What made this food so delicious is that it is so balanced. Got the chicken satay and combo fried rice (semi-spicy). The acidic components make these dishes shine. Wasn’t sure it would live up to the hype but this was great.

I ORDERED THE CYRING TIGER TO GO AND THIS IS THE SHOCKING DIFFERENCE FROM THIER PHOTO ON THEIR WEBSITE BUT IN REALITY THIS IS WHAT I GOT DONT OREDER HERE BECAUSE ITS A RIP OFF MY WIFE SAID.

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.

Favorite thai restaurant. Everytime we eat here has been excelent. Foods are fresh and tasty! Delicious and big portions too.

Lunch special is perfect

This place is a hidden gem.. everything tastes fresh and homemade. The restaurant is small, has great artwork and a colorful, fun, comfortable vibe.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Vegas! The chef puts his special touches to every dish. Amazing!

Our Thai friend recommended this place. Best Thai food in Vegas! The pad Thai is al dente and the flavor is so good! The crab omelette is delicious and it doesn’t need sauce. They have the best chicken pad ka pow. I usually hate basil but I love it with their chicken. I can’t recommend this place enough. Food, presentation, and service is the best.

Wow!
Great job!
I rarely add my opinion about good chow spots...
I had yellow chicken curry... delicious spices!

Nice.

Service was great, and the food was amazing . Highly recommend 👌

Finally, I had the opportunity to try authentic Thai food. My wife and I shared spring rolls and Pad Thai. I have never had Pad Thai like this, delicious. The service was as good as the food. It's so hard to find restaurants that actually make food from scratch. I wish we had a place like this where I live.

Excellent food, huge portions! Chicken satay is the best I've had in the US the peanut sauce is amazing!
Pineapple fried rice was delicious! Will def be back :)

Wanted to try a new place this year visiting Vegas!
So glad we came here. Fast and helpful service with the best Thai food we have ever eaten. Such beautiful, delicious cuisine.

cute little spot with excellent food, worth every penny

What a find! Great authentic Thay food prepared fresh and reasonably priced. Worth the drive…

Saw What's Zaap on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network shortly after my return trip from Thailand so I was eager to try it. On my recent business trip to Vegas my colleague and I dined in and we were absolutely pleased with the service and food. The flavor was exquisite... Exactly what I experienced in Thailand.

Excellent find! We will definitely be back!

Definitely won't back! We two people ordered Tom Yum, the waiter told us it is enough for two people, when it came, we were totally shocked, it is few pieces of onions and mushrooms and few shramps, this is absolutely that worst Tom Yum I have ever had. We had to order other foods. Very bad experience

Awesome food, great staff.

Chef Paul Meesawat is phenomenal and has the BEST personality (even after a long full Saturday, we went right before closing accidentally)! He even came out to welcome and thank us for dining! I've NEVER tried Thai food before, saw this spot of Guy's Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives so figured we gotta give it a try. I went safe and ordered the Chicken Satay. Chef Paul made this 'simple/safe' dish BURST with flavor between the marinade and the dipping sauce! My husband tried the What's Zaap Noodle. He has never had muscles before and Chef Paul has made him a HUGE fan by bringing the taste of the sea combined with a perfect Thai kick. What's Zaap makes ALL their paste's, sauce's, marinade's, and curry's in house by hand and is definitely a hidden gem! Please go and tell all you know! Only down fall would be the setting size, call for reservations on a weekend or holiday. Can't wait to see them grow!

Great food and great service! Had the chicken satay, the Pad Thai, and the What’s Zapp seafood noodles. Wished we didn’t live on the east coast so that we could dine here more often.

Unbelievably amazing food! Very flavorful and portioned right.

I went to What's Zaap for the first time yesterday. I am a wuss for spice, and therefore thought I couldn't eat Thai food. I was so wrong! Paul and his staff made my food to my taste, and wow! My 2 friends had different levels of heat to go with mine. All of our dishes were fresh, delicious, and presented in a very nice way. If you have hesitation at eating Thai like I did, don't. Go to What's Zaap, tell them you want 0-1 heat, and enjoy!

What an amazing meal. Hoped to make it here on our trip to Vegas from Florida and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing!!!! I try to eat at a local restaurant featured on DDD any time I travel and this was one of the best so far. Highly recommend you try this place.

This place was definitely a true find and a true gem in Las Vegas Summerlin area! I came across this location from a Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives recommendation. This DID NOT disappoint!! Very authentic Thai cuisine. Excellent in every way. Value for the amount of food was right on the money. Staff were great! I would definitely comeback!

Super high quality food, and wonderful presentation!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Friendly and inviting service and GREAT food. A little pricey but definitely worth it. When they say Thai hot, they mean it. So good! I will be returning.

Excellent food and excellent service. Everything far exceed expectations, don't sleep on this place!

best thai food in summerlin by far, makes lotus of siam look like a overpriced knockoff. order the pineapple fried rice for sure, it actually comes in a hollowed out pineapple, with pineapple on the side as a sweet treat.

Another gem right here!! I'm from Los Angeles and was visiting my mom and she suggested this place. Glad she did it was excellent. I had the Pad See Ew and it was 💣💣💣! Their chili sauce was superb too!

The staff was so friendly and the food was Amazing! Definitely one of the best places we ate on our trip, highly recommend!

Amazing food, great service, and a great variety of eats. I will definitely be going back!

The owner knows quality ingredients and brings the best to the table with flair. It’s my go to when I come to town.

Best Thai food I’ve had in the valley. Great taste great presentation. Highly recommend

Attended Guy Feiri’s FlavorTown (feb11). This place was there. Was super excited to try as it has been in my list to try. Their skewer was watered down in sauce, the rice was in a Saran Wrap and the jerky was dry, hard and disgusting! I had to tell my kid to spit it out because she couldn’t chew it. What a terrible representation of yourself in a place where you were chosen to show off your dishes by a person who thought your dishes was worthy the hype.

Great place. Amazing food.We reserved a table the same with no issues.

Great food, friendly staff, amazing Thai food and good music! Dine in if you can and get the drunken noodle. Will be back for more!

Food is absolutely delicious and seasoned as Thai food should be. Plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians. Will definitely be one of many spots I will frequent for authentic Thai food.

Good food and good spice!!!

Great food excellent customer service a definite must when visiting Las Vegas

Awesome lunch specials! No complaints about the Pad Thai and the Panang Curry. But, the quantity of meat and veggies on the Spicy Basil was smaller than I had hoped. Otherwise, delicious!

Wow! Simply Wow! Foodporn! For your eye, but your taste buds are also happy. We loved all their dishes but sadly couldn't taste them all, but we will be back!

My two favorite dishes are Pad Thia and Green Curry. Pad Thia portion size was good, overall taste was ok I would give it a 3.5 of 5. Green curry was 5 out of 5, full of flavor and taste. They didn't cut corners on the coconut milk quality as some place will water it down to save on costs.

Amazing food, highly recommend the Yellow curry, fresh food and really fresh ingredients. We loved it. Handmade curry is DELICIOUS.

Excellent flavor! The What's Zaap Noodle dish is fantastic! Go see for yourself.

Some of the best curry I have had while traveling around the country. I had yellow curry and it was thick and creamy, and the flavor was perfect. I highly recommend any of their curry dishes.

The curry is great. Thick sauce full of flavor.

Best pad thai I’ve ever had, beautifully plated. Very attentive and friendly service.

Some of the best food I've had. Got the giant squid and it was great, my friend got the Pad Thai and said it was the best thing he's ever had.

I’ve ordered Door Dash from them and it’s great. However this is the second time I’ve ordered red curry and in the description it says there’s broccoli and eggplant. For the second time no eggplant and broccoli

Great food will definitely go back

Super tasty and excellent presentation. We keep coming back over and over!

Perfect Thai food.

Order the crab curry!!
This meal was everything.
The chef came out and chatted with us for a while too- amazing story having made his break off from large restaurants on the strip. But right around covid was when he slated to open his doors. Cheers for making it happen! Must-have.

This place is so good 👍

Unbelievably delicious Thai food in a great, clean and happy environment. The staff were all in a great mood and super friendly. Will definitely be back!

The best meal I ever eaten! My spouse, who has traveled to Thailand several times said it was the best Thai food he's ever had stateside. We ordered the green papaya salad, tom yum, red curry (with tofu), and fried basil (with chicken and holy basil). But honestly, everything on the menu sounded amazing! We never felt rushed eating in, and got to slowly work our way through all the food. I also ordered the lychees drink, which perfectly complimented the level 3 spice we ordered for everything. The presentation was so beautiful, and you could tell all the ingredients were super fresh. Just astounding, can't say enough good things!

Amazing Thai food! We ordered the chicken satay, yellow curry, combination pad thai and pork what’s zaap noodles- Highly recommend all of it! So yummy. It’s a smaller spot so consider making a reservation depending on the day.

Food was delicious! The Braised Short Rib Massaman Curry special was excellent! We also ordered pad thai, basil fried rice, grilled pork, papaya salad, beef jerky, and fried spring rolls - everything tasted great! Small venue, reservation recommended.

Ridiculous Tuesday night no one in there 40 minute wait to pick up the food . And not the first time that happens.

Amazing - I've enjoyed Thai food across the globe - inducing in Thailand... this food is in the top 1%. The service is also way above expected - we received a call to confirm what we ordered - what we ordered would have cost more - they had the integrity to confirm this. What's Zapp has 2 new forever fans

A hidden Gem! My family and I have been coming for almost 4 years already. We love their amazing-tasty food, plates presentation is always unique and beautiful. Definitely, a kind friendly restaurant, my toddler was given age appropriate utensils which is not very common nowadays. Customer service is outstanding!

One of best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in Vegas.

Unbelievable food and service!

Authentic thai style food. Their spice level is just same as in Thailand, not westernize to make it any less spicy like other places. Heard that they made their own chili? Not sure but definitely fire

Came here because of DDD. Had the Pad Thai. Wow! My friends all loved it. Thanks for the amazing dinner!

One of the TOP Thai restaurants in Las Vegas for sure. No wonder the chef/owner was on national TV.
High quality ingredients, 'street food' dishes but prepared in true Thai not Americanized fashion. [I lived in Thailand and speak Thai, so I know]
Good service and nice setting in quiet Southwest Las Vegas area. Prices a bit higher but portions large and worth it! Definitely going back to try more dishes.

Lunch special is A+ and other items on the menu have never been a miss.

FYI: always great to see the head chef (or owner?) occasionally come out and chat with the patrons.

Definite thai recommend if you’re on the westside of LV.

It was really good food i ever eat before
I love Thai Food

Will put more later - but one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. Probably top 3

The food was absolutely amazing!! We had fresh spring roll, stuffed chicken wings, pad Thai, panang curry, Thai omelet, fresh 🥥 coconut.. everything was super delicious😋 found our favorite thai spot!! And... the service Epic. Everyone's nice and friendly!! The owner also came over to chat with us.

This was the absolute best most authentic Thai green curry. The mango ice cream was also a delicious surprise. This place is the real deal.

The parking area for the restaurant is small and tight. There is more Parking away from the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant is nice and the dining area is Small. The service was pretty good. The beef pad Thai was good. The fried spring roll was delicous.

It's good. Clean place and the food is good.

Great presentation fresh and great 👍

Great food!! Flavors are fantastic and mouthwatering! I’ve been her 5 times now and my favorite dish so far is the crab curry. This is my new go to restaurant. The staff is welcoming and pleasant. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. ENJOY!!

Tried the larb, pad Thai, spring rolls and chicken satay. All was very good, with a slight spin on what I’ve had at other Thai restaurants. Would go back if I’m ever in the area again.

There are many Thai restaurants in Vegas. But this one stands out from the rest. Chef Paul is Le Cordon Bleu trained, worked at Michelin starred restaurants in Vegas. He brings his culinary background to the art of Thai cooking. The pictures you see on the walls are what the finished dish looks like. He makes his curry from scratch!!!!

Lovely little place! I got the lunch special, with my soda it came out to $14.55 for everything. The two workers were very polite and refilled my drink at least four times without me having to ask . The food was fresh and delicious, the vegetables were crisp. I'll be bringing people here in the future!

I have been around the country and really love Thai food and this place is really good. We had the spicy basil with chicken. Level 1 spice was enough to add a bit but not over power . I really enjoyed this. This is one of the best you will find in Las. Eggs.

Delicious Thai food, absolutely loved every dish we tried. Fresh ingredients with beautiful presentation, the best Thai food - highly recommend!!

Best Thai restaurant in Vegas

My favorite chicken Patay👍👍

We were in Vegas visiting, and we found this place online it had been featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Went in the food was outstanding! The service was great we actually met the owner and the chef who happened to be husband and wife, very nice people. Will definitely go back the next time we're in Las Vegas.

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I had almost no chicken in my food, maybe 4 small pieces. That with how expensive and small the rice was. The value just isn't there.

Flavor is missing. Kind of surprised since Guy Fieri visited this place a while ago. Over $100.00 and was left with deception. I have been to other Thai restaurants for $50 taste better and has more menu options.

Of course we couldn't resist after seeing What's Zaap on Triple D. Honestly, the show didn't do it justice. This is elevated Thai food but in the most authentic way. Seasoning out of bounds! Presentation is awesome! The flavors..it's like an explosion in every bite. From the firecracker shrimp to the seafood rice and even the tofu. Very fresh ingredients which is evident in every bite. Spice level is very accurate and you should listen to your server. You can always go hotter.. just sayin! We ordered an appetizer and 2 entrees. Regretfully left behind enough food for 2 more people. So reasonably priced and for all the food we ordered, it was $70....like I said, it was enough to feed 4. Staff is amazingly nice, attentive, informative and humble. We are hooked and now we know WHATS ZAAP!! Thank you...

5⭐ ice tea

Favorite Thai restaurant in Las Vegas

Phenomenalocity!

Love their pad Thai and fresh spring rolls!

Excellent dine in while visiting in Las Vegas! I had the fresh spring rolls, thai tea and pad thai. Large delicious portions that I ate for at least 3 days while in Vegas.

The owner and his wife came out to our table and were wonderful!

The food is amazing, tasty and fresh. I'm still thinking about those excellent fresh spring rolls. I'm trying to make them at home now LOL!

Amazing gem in Las Vegas! Will be back!

Guy Fieri stopped here and we know why!! This place is AMAZING, the food is superb 👌🏽 the atmosphere is like fiyaa so fun, everyone is friendly. I want to marry the Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice!!! You won't regret eating here.

Saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins,and Dives (Food Network show) and decided to check it out. Was not disappointed, was not "wowed", but would mos def eat there again.

Food was average. Not many vegetarian options but there are some. They couldn't make curries without fish sauce and shrimp paste.

Thank you, amazing food and service😃

점심 스페셜 메뉴로 pad see ew와 yellow curry를 시켰습니다. 처음에 나오는 미역스프가 맛있었습니다. 메인 음식들이 짜서 몇시간동안 물을 많이 마셔야 했습니다.

Really spicy. Will make you cry but you can’t stop eating it.

A neighborhood Thai place that has surprisingly great Thai food. I lived in Bangkok for 2 years and this food tastes exactly how it should. อร่อยมาก !! I've been to several Thai places in Vegas - most are not good. Even the ones that are supposedly the "best" in Las Vegas are far from the best. It's just a strip mall storefront so it's not fancy but I guarantee the food is better than you would expect. Give it a try if you're in the area. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Wow! Just Wow!

The word "zaap" is Thai slang meaning spiciness that “hits the spot!" This whole meal hit the spot.

I first heard of What’s Zaap on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Guy had nothing but good things to say about What’s Zaap, but I honestly don’t think Guy did the restaurant justice. Paul (owner and chef) makes all the sauces from scratch including the curries. Paul stays true to his heritage with ingredients that most Thai restaurants substitute cheap ingredients for. His fidelity to his heritage shows through in every dish.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a great ambiance. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday night (I made reservations) and even though it was full, it was not loud. We could easily talk during dinner.

“We eat with our eyes first”. To keep from repeating myself on each dish, I will say this once. The presentation on all the dishes was beautiful. The attention to detail is amazing. You can see plenty of pictures online within these reviews.

My wife and I had 4 dishes, Chicken Satay, Pad Thai with Shrimp, Panang Curry Beef and of course, Sticky rice and mango. We ended up bringing quite a bit home with us.

Chicken Satay - What a way to start the meal! I am normally underwhelmed with Chicken Satay because the chicken can be dry and lacking flavor and the peanut sauce can be on the thick and pasty side. NOT HERE. The chicken could stand on its own. Perfectly (yes, I will use that word a lot) cooked and very juicy. The peanut sauce was unbelievable. No Skippy peanut butter here. The consistency made it stick to the chicken. The flavor was delicious, delicate and complimented the chicken. It did not overwhelm it.

Pad Thai - The presentation was unique. I have never seen Pad Thai prepared like this. You have to order it yourself to appreciate and understand it. Remember, Paul makes all of his own sauces. This is evident in every mouthful. The Pad Thai never became dry as it sat between servings. The noodles never became soft. I literally HAD to consume the entire plate.

Panang Curry Beef - Deep, complex flavor. The sauce was silky smooth. Great mouthfeel. The beef was tender. The ingredients had vibrant colors and the dish was visually stunning with saffron threads on top.

Sticky rice and mango - Perfect texture on the rice. The rice was not overly sweet and went beautifully with the PERFECTLY ripe Mango.

My wife and I had a 15 minute table side conversation with Paul after the meal. He was very delightful and gave us pointers on preparing some of our favorite dishes.

Thank you Paul for a lovely meal. We will definitely be back and will bring many, many friends and family members.

Staff very friendly, chef came out to introduce himself.

Wonderful Thai restaurant in west Las Vegas. Quick attentive service, plenty of good food at a very fair value (had the lunch special chicken with basil and peppers). Very relaxing ambience as well, will be back again.

Great food. Everything tasted super fresh. Service was also very friendly! Highly recommend.

The food was amazing!!!! The Pad Thai was beautiful! Will definitely be making it our go-to spot!

Well worth the trip from the strip. Bright crisp vegetables served with tasty sauces and dips. Chicken satay and pineapple rice were two dishes I would go back for in a heartbeat. Friendly staff who were attentive without being underfoot. Happened to have the television on in the condo and where does Diners, Drive Ins and Dives happen to be, What's Zaap. Kismet.

So we were travelling from Florida back to our home in Canada and a few nights before we arrived in Vegas we saw the show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”. What’s Zapp was featured on that episode and because we love Thai food, we just had to try it….and it did not disappoint!
The food was amazing as was the service. The dishes we ordered were the Tom Ka soup, Pad Thai and Red Curry with chicken. The flavours were on point and so much care and attention went into every dish. The owner even was so kind to take time out to speak with us.
We had enough leftover for breakfast next morning.
If you love Thai food, give this place a try…..you will be happy you did!

Amazing customer service - food presentation 10/10 - excellent tastes-

Great food ,very friendly staff,great dining experience

Foods are good for what you pay, but surprise me with the rice soup is delicious.

If you're looking for great Thai food and can find this hole-in-the-wall, GO!
Although a little expensive, the food was fantastic, the place was immaculate and the presentation of each item ordered was a work of art (fresh orchid blossoms, sprigs of cilantro)
GO!!

I got the Panang Curry lunch special. They have different protein options for the lunch special. Comes with seaweed type soup, salad, eggroll, rice and panang curry. The panang curry was sweet and with a little spice to it. The curry had so much flavor to it. The food was very fresh and good. The service was excellent and the place was very clean!

Came here on a Weds. night right after 7pm for takeout. The restaurant was completely empty when I walked in. Lucky me or should I be concerned? Talked to a female employee on the phone to order my meal. I asked for condiments like jalapeños with garlic vinegar to be added in the order and she said yes we have that, minus one star for fooling me and didn't put any condiments to my order. I ordered the Pad Thai with beef, which was $3 extra and I had to hunt for it between the noodles. Found 6-7 small tiny pieces. Not worth it. I had a good amount of egg at the bottom of this entree if that makes a difference. The appetizer pork spare ribs were mediocre. The sauce that came with it didn't taste fresh. No flavor whatsoever. It was more like a heavy water downed lime water. The side order of steamed rice was old, how do I know.. because it smelled just like the rice I have at home that is a few days old, that why I ordered it here thinking it would be fresh. No. The only thing that saved this entire order was their Tom Zaap soup. I would order this again in a heartbeat. It had tons, I mean TONS of flavor herbs and spice. I ordered medium spicy and it packed heat that was perfect. It gave a kick without torturing myself. Not sure if they add loads of msg, but the soup broth itself was addicting. One sip and it left me wanting more. This was the real winner and made up for the rest. I even threw in all the pork spareribs from the appetizer order into this broth! Absolutely beyond delicious.

Exceptional food and great presentation. Stopped in here because we were in the neighborhood but its one of the best restaurants we have experienced in Vegas.

Went to this place base on reviews and location. And we very picky with the food.Not sure why low reviews said bland taste (crazy people).Food is Extremely delicious everything we ordered we loooooove it .Highly recommend and this is our spot for Thai food from now on

Excellent Thai food. Beautifully presented and a flavor explosion. We eat Thai all the time but this will be our go to place!

Love this place. Best pad Thai in town!

This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have been too. We got spring rolls, Panag Curry, Yellow curry, and Mango sticky rice. We will definitely come back!!!

Wonderful. Simply wonderful. I will be back.

Great service and good food at reasonable prices

Very poor service!!

They have high quality ingredients (which is a rare find) and pay attention to quality of the food and it shows in the taste. Most of the other thai restaurants with these high ratings were very disappointing. I hope they keep this up!

Fantastic! Service was good and food presentations were outstanding. I had the drunken noodles and my family had the pad Thai. Would definitely come back or recommend to others!

Their Green Papaya Salad is not to be missed. Impeccable Service. The presentation of the food is Instagram worthy.

Very small portions for the cost for to go orders at least. Ordered 4 dishes which came to over $60 and the only container that was reasonable was a fried rice. 2 were 1/4 full and the 4th didn't even cover thr bottom of the to go container. The man who was working advised they don't have small portions when I called and I was wrong. I asked who the Manger was and he said "I have customers" and set down the phone.

Yummy rich food and great service

Great place to eat. Has very great customer service. Food was the bomb! 🔥🔥🔥

Here for work. Got takeout food here. Wasn’t expecting how good it was. I got the pad see U, was great, but the real winner was the mango sticky rice. I’ve been to many many Thai restaurants and this is my favorite so far. Might have to come back tomorrow for some more

Fantastic food and quick service! Great lunch specials as well!

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Amazing Thai food. We ordered a lot of food and paid about $30 a person and still had food left to go.

Awesome Thai food! We drove 30 minutes just to try it and we were totally impressed. The business is clean and very friendly.

It was NO for me.

They red curry is the best

Got the Holy Curry Crab and the Thai Basil and they were both delicious. Great flavor and they do not hold back on the spices. I wish I had come here sooner.

Put no onions and pretty much got extra onions and the food tasted horrible took 2 bites and tossed it 👎🏽

Had the pepper and garlic with chicken, and the chicken satay. Broccoli was fresh, chicken was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was just enough to compliment the dish without overpowering the flavors. Peanut sauce is different but tasty, had a very pretty presentation, and the cucumber salad was good. Overall both tasty dishes, and cleaning the plates were no problem!

太贵不好吃
look at their reply.
I said too expensive not good taste.
What they said, He's begun a series of personal attacks on me.
If they’re boss let them reply customer like that. Do you really think you going there and you will get a nice dinner happy meal there ?
I won’t be surprised if they spit in your water or food.
Well I will never go there.
