Gyoza
Kiana M.

Michelin Star 24-26! The drunken noodles weee great! We were seated as soon as we arrived. The mango sticky rice was not my favorite, but I enjoyed the ambiance and the atmosphere.

Curries
Alison H.

This is the best Thai food I have ever had. My husband and I drive an hour to go here to celebrate all of life's big milestones. The service is amazing, they always remember the little details. The food is phenomenal, the flavor and quality is unrivaled. The Penang curry is my favorite and the green curry is my husbands, we always get the chicken gyoza as well. We will try everything on the menu eventually !!

Pad Thai
Renae A.

I was basic and got the pad Thai. Tofu was cooked to perfection and the noodles were stretchy and silky. My mouth couldn't handle the "Mild" spice sadly so it was hard to finish the dish. The flavor was fairly sweet and nutty. Thai tea was probably the best I've had in my life.

I ordered to go. It's a perfect place for lunch. I ordered the Thai Rice with Chicken from the lunch menu. The food is fresh and well cooked. I really enjoyed the vegetables. Staff is friendly and polite. My ordered was ready within a reasonable time. I really enjoyed their Thai Ice Tea.

Pork red curry
Thien D.

Our favorite Thai restaurant in Orlando whenever we visit the area. Some of our best dishes.

Pad Thai and Green Curry
Beatrice P.

The staff was very kind and knowledgeable about allergens. The place its wet log is clean and family friendly. It is located in a small strip mall next to Costco. The food was great. I particularly loved the Pad Thai. The green curry was also very good. Be aware that even the mild green curry had a kick to it. I will be stopping there every time I am in the area.

Iced coffee & Thai tea
Angel F.

The staff was really nice, but the food was just okay, curry was runny & had too much green bell peppers as filler, the spring rolls taste like they were previously frozen, but the veggies were good. The drinks weren't strong enough.

Chicken Gyoza
Kelley T.

Stopped by Isan Zaap Thai while passing through Orlando, and it's easy to see why they've earned Michelin recognition three years in a row. We started with the chicken gyoza and coconut shrimp--honestly, both were skippable. They tasted like something straight out of a frozen bag and didn't really set the tone for what was to come. Thankfully, the entrées completely turned things around. The chicken pad Thai, Chinese broccoli with shrimp, and blue crab fried rice were all outstanding--packed with flavor and clearly the stars of the menu. We ordered everything medium spice, which definitely had a kick. Even as people who enjoy spice, we'd probably go light next time. We wrapped things up with mango sticky rice, which was the perfect sweet finish. Overall, a bit of a mixed start, but the mains more than delivered. I'll definitely be back next time I'm passing through Orlando.

Hype is real this place is the best Thai restaurant I've ever had. Close to the parks I thought it'd be a tourist trap, but my wife and I been here twice and both times we were just blown away by the food. The flavors are just delicious perfectly balanced of salty, sweet, and SPICY. Mild medium or hot are the three options of heat and man, medium is already pretty spicy I don't think I'll ever want to experience hot. We've tried the seafood papaya salad, regular thai salad, pad see ew, pad thai and their thai milk tea is as good as anywhere. Food is made to order so it is fresh and just really delicious, great portions and oh their service is really great.

Stir fry basil and fried rice
Styliana R.

Stopped into this place on the way out of town after seeing it on the Michelin Guide, and I'm glad I did! The decor was very modern and trendy, the service was attentive and super fast (extra appreciated since we had our sleeping little one in tow) and the food was delicious. I asked our server what she would recommend and she steered my right with the stir fry basil with a fried egg on top. I'm usually not a huge fan of pork, but I ate my meal so fast I barely had time to snap this photo!

I decided to get some Pad Thai with Shrimp. It did not disappoint! The generous amount of noodles and perfectly cooked shrimp was a treat! I usually get the same dish every time, but I know that Isan Zaap won a contest for Pad Thai, so I knew I was in good hands. Another notable point is that this restaurant has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand for several years. Unlike the Michelin Star, which some confuse it for, it is given to restaurants with a more comparable price point than fine dining offers. The food is made fresh to order, so sometimes it can take a little bit, but I have never had to wait an overly long amount of time. I love this place so much, quite often I will order an extra plate of food like Panang Curry over rice and take it to work for lunch. The thai tea is delicious, but it has a lot of caffeine, so I opted for a soda this time.

Chicken pad Thai
Heather M.

In short : I could've eaten 3 times more ! This Thai spot scored a Michelin Bib gourmand but easily could've been a One Star. Isan Zaap Thai cafe is based on the northeast region with Laotian overlaps. Northeastern Thai food is known to be spicer and more flavorful. I found this to be very true today . The ambiance is nice and quaint . It's a small Establishment in a strip plaza. I'm not sure how other place survive next to Them. ARE PEOPLE UNAWARE OF THIS SPOT?!?! Anyway, I came here with my cousin who also has two stomach and we decided to order everything the server recommended. Appetizers: we ordered the Isan Sausage and Thai chicken and wings. My first bite of the sausage was like being in pork heaven.. the flavor profile was insane. The chicken wings were fresh.. perfectly fried and the dipping sauce was a nice touch . Mains: chicken pad Thai (Thai spice level) and grilled crying tiger . The spice level was enough to get your nose cleared a bit but yet tasty and made you not want to stop. The grilled crying tiger was perfect cuts of tenderloin with a delicious side sauce. Each plate was eaten clean ... we wanted to lie and said we dropped it just to receive extra portions. Dessert: mango sticky rice with a coco cream. This was by far the best sticky rice I have had in my 4 decades on this planet. The. Mango was perfectly ripened.. the rice was optimal Texture and the coconut cream was divine . Again , these were all recommendations from our server and she knocked it out of the park. I'm here in Orlando for work for the rest of the year and I will definitely be back.. if you want authentic Thai food at a decent price point Come here ! Try everything ! They won't disappoint!

Went to Isan Zaap with my mom and she picked a really good spot. Everything we tried was tasty and well prepared. My favorite was the pad Thai, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The highlight of the meal was the service. Super friendly and made great recommendations. Definitely a place I'd go back to.

If you are in the area and you want authentic Thai food, Thai Thani is worth the try! You will enter into a welcoming space that makes you feel like you've been transported to Asia. The decoration is lovely! Staff is super friendly. The food is delicious and great quality. Their menu is pretty huge, so there is something for everyone. I love their appetizers, and at this point I've about had everything from that section. My usual order is either a fried rice of some sort or the chicken and shrimp pad Thai. The dishes are boasting with flavors! The one star they are missing is how hit or miss their to go/Ubereats can be. Some days I'm satisfied with how everything is while other days it can fall just slightly short. That's my only request is to ensure a good experience with every to go/ubereats.

When we got there, there were no available tables but they were able to slot us into the schedule and we were able to wait at Noir, the attached speakeasy. The staff is friendly and attentive and Noir had Thai inspired flavored drinks which was fun. Important to note, the drinks menu at Noir is different from the drinks menu at Talay. We almost made the mistake of not ordering at Noir because we were told our table was ready before we decided on drinks. We got the Salmon Choe Nam Pla to start and that was very delicious - the salmon tasted very fresh and the flavor was great. We were very sad when we finished this dish because we wish there was more. We also had the Tod Mun Goong as a starter which is little shrimp cakes and those were fun but not as impressive as some of the other dishes. Then we got the Pla Nueng Ma Now, a Chilean seabass as well as the Goong Ma Kam which is was shrimp with tamarind sauce. Both dishes were very good and had a really nice flavor. I think out of the two, the shrimp was better as the sea bass was a little thick and the flavor didn't soak through all of it. This was such a good meal and I wish I was a little wealthier so I could try more of the menu, there were so many options we were debating between and it was very difficult to narrow it down to three.

The location definitely stays busy as there was a revolving door of people coming in and out of the restaurant. We were fortunate that we got seated fairly quickly and were able to get our order in. There's not a huge beer or wine list, but they've got the basics. We started with an order of the pork spring rolls. They come in an order of three and were super crunchy and incredibly hot. For my main entrée, I chose the cashew chicken. It does come in a red sauce, which was slightly surprising to me, but it was good. Lots of chicken was absolutely fantastic although I wish there would've been more bell peppers to balance it. It does come with steamed white rice. My husband got fried rice with chicken. The portion size is absolutely huge so plenty to share. Again - lots of chicken in it.

The spring rolls were easily the standout--fresh, hot, and actually packed with flavor. Everything arrived warm and properly prepared, and the prices were right in line with what you'd expect for Thai food. That said, the pad Thai and fried rice were surprisingly flat. Tough texture and almost no seasoning, which is hard to pull off with Thai food. Even the tofu managed to come through flavorless. After hitting 20+ Thai spots over the years, this one ranks pretty low on the flavor scale for me. Still edible and clearly made fresh, so I'm not writing it off completely. I'd consider it again if nothing else was open and I just needed something solid. Just don't go in expecting big flavor.
