    I enjoyed the food I had here. I've had more flavorful versions of these dishes, but the dishes I had were good nonetheless. The service was great and the food came out fast. The noodle to veggie/meat ratio could use work on the Drunken Noodles. There were barely any noodles. Also there was a container of sugar on the table which can easily be mistaken for salt, so heads up!!!

    Thai-ny Boat Noodle
    Christine L.

    Larb Zaab is solid Thai spot located in Wollaston! I recently visited this spot and tried their Thai-ny Boat Noodle bowl. First, I loved the name "Thai-ny" as it was clever for the small bowl. When it came out it was actually a little bit bigger than I though. Second, although the bowl was "tiny", the noodle bowl was packed full of flavor! I got their dry noodles with beef and it was so good. This is the perfect appetizer to pair with any of their dishes or if you're not that hungry. The noodles were perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned well. This definitely was made with love! The chicken satay was also good, just a little bit dry. The coconut flavor really stood out and paired well with the provided sauces. The restaurant itself is on the smaller end but there are a handful of tables to dine in. They got pretty busy around lunch on a Saturday afternoon but most people ordered takeout. The service was friendly and overall the vibes were homey, reflecting the feelings of having a home-cooked dish. Parking is a bit tough (it is Wollaston) but if you look on side streets you should be able to find something. There is also the Wollaston T Station parking lot that you can park at! Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try and I'd love to try different dishes!

    Thai-ny Boat Noodle
    Kimmy M.

    All our dishes very tasty and really authentic Thai food. It's a hidden gem. If you like Thai food must try. The server was friendly and helpful , The atmosphere was cozy ,but they had a few table, place kind of small but nice decorative with Thai culture. Definitely we go back again to try more dishes!

    Crispy chicken rice
    Shirley C.

    It was a delicious lunch, a little expensive but the service was good and it was very authentic. The designs are very Thai themed. The fried chicken was delicious but expensive The curry noodles were yummy and the crispy chicken rice was very juicy and crispy. The udon basil stir fry noodles were good but a little too sweet for my personal preference. The Thai tea was good and the Thai iced coffee was good as well. Overall, a nice lunch place, only street parking. The interior is small, only maybe 4 tables.

    Tom Yum Noodle Soup
    Jeff S.

    Stopped by for lunch. Quiet inside so service was great. The tom yum soup was tasty. Flavorful broth and quality chicken. I would come again.

    Khao kha moo
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I got the larb (chicken), khao kha moo, nuea daad deaw, Thai-ny boat noodle (beef), and sweet sticky rice w Thai custard - TASTE: 5/5 - everything was tasty! My fave was the larb w its perfect balance of red onion, cilantro, mint, chili, and lime juice. Enjoyed the comforting flavors of the pork hock stew (khao kha moo), the savory, sour broth of the boat noodle soup, and the well-seasoned, fatty beef jerky (nuea daad deaw). Perfect ending w dessert; I live for coconut sticky rice TEXTURE: 4/5 - highlights include the larb's ground chicken, the chicharrón in the boat noodle soup, the tender pork hock, and the spongy Thai custard PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $62 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - left satisfied w our dinner SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:15pm on a Sunday and only one other table was occupied. Food started coming out 10min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - bright space, of around 20 seats, w good Thai music and beautiful pla taphian, aka woven fish hanging mobiles PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot on Beale St

    Tom Yum Prawn
    Lan T.

    We had the Khao Ka Pow Jumbo and Tom Yom Prawn. I liked the Khao Ka Pow Jumbo with rice. The Tom Yom was a disappointment. The broth was both too salty and sweet at the same time. The prawns were not fresh at all! The servers were really nice! No wait on a Friday night!

    Golden bags
    Barbara K.

    Small clean local mom and pop Thai restaurant. This is an authentic Thai menu for sure! I have come here many times with friends and also have referred some and I always get good feedback. The portions are very fair with the price charged. The service here is very friendly and the food comes out pretty quick. Great place for lunch or dinner on a low key day

    Melanie W.

    It's nothing special, but it's definitely a nice local Thai restaurant for a comfort meal at a reasonable price. The place is small, and we waited around 30 minutes on a Friday without reservation for 5 people. We ordered fried corn, golden bags, chicken satay, and kor moo yang for appetizers. My favorite was the fried corn and kor moo yang. Tom Yum Prawn was a bit spicy and had too much cilantro that covered the Tom Yum taste and was a little watery. Soft shell crab pad thai was considered okay, with not too much sauce, which I preferred so the rice noodles wouldn't stick together. I would order takeout from the place but not dine in since the place is small for a takeout order group.

    Recently opened Larb Zaab takes over the old Pad Thai's location. Inspired by the Thai Street food scene, they bring to us authentic flavors! Larb Zaab is a cozy and inviting restaurant with cute little fish origami surrounding us. Their food is flavorful and you know it is spicy when spicy is in their name (Zaab = spicy). But we ordered little spicy and it had a minor kick to it. The drinks are super refreshing and they added drinks that you normally do not get from other Thai restaurants. We tried the Flower Tea Slushie, Thai Tea Slushie, and Longan. I LOVED the flower tea slushie because it has a pungent chrysanthemum taste. Crab Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Thai-ny (love a great pun) Boat Noodle, Fried Corn, Crispy Pork Belly Larb, just to name a few items we've shared and enjoyed.

    Khao Moo Dang with sauce on the side
    Sandra G.

    They are the new thai restaurant replacing pad thai. Went there for lunch and the waitress was very polite and friendly. I ordered khao moo dang, with sauce on the side. The meat was delicious. Also replaced the rice with garlic rice. I can't wait to go back and try other menu. Space was only 5 tables and every one of them are taken!

    I came here a few times for the same thing just to test the consistency of the chef. Well I ordered the 2in1 chicken plate with the pouched and fried chicken and today it was a little off. The chicken was a bit dry and the rice seemed hard to digest compared to other hai nan rice I had. Overall, it's still decent and service is friendly. Downside is they don't have ginger scallion sauce for the pouch chicken.

    Crispy chicken pad thai ended
    Jon H.

    Look I got the food delivered but you know if the flavor is good or bad. Food was really subpar for us. Crispy chicken pad Thai ended up being something id expect from a late night Chinese take out spot because the chicken was mostly batter and barely any meat. Ultimately doesn't taste authentic. There was something off with the curry (not pictured) and the Khao Soi just didn't hit the spot. i really wanted to like this place given that it's new but the flavors need to be improved upon.

    This place has really good pad Thai, and is open very late. Also - good service! Very small venue, feels like you are in the city.

I do say that I personally I loved the way they made their scrambled eggs, and pairing it with the nice buttery toast was delicious. It's a nice side dish to pair with items like the ham macaroni soup and beef satay noodles. They're simple dishes but taste really good! I would love to come back during lunchtime to experience their other dishes

My only issue is how tightly they pack the tables--you literally couldn't share a secret with your date without flanking tables hearing you. If I'd have known, I'd have asked to sit at the bar, which would have been more intimate (so four stars, but food is the bomb). Definitely make reservations--there will be a line at 8 pm. The speakers played 80s hip hop. The place is lively to say the least. We had the duck salad, mussels (ask for an extra order of charred bread WHEN you order--needed to sop up the delicious sauce). It took 15 minutes for extra bread when I realized the two pieces weren't enough. We also tried the beef cheek fried rice, short rib (amazing) and the crawfish noodles. The rice and noodles had fish roe throughout which made for a delightful mouth feel. My date had the lychee martini. I had the lychee mocktail, which was delicious. For dessert, we shared a slice of avocado cheesecake! Odd but totally delicious with a cookie-like crust and ribbon of brown butter buttercream. Chef's kiss all around. Loved our server, but even she apologized for abandoning us for a bit. The place was slammed!

The hummus is like a deconstructed Vietnamese sandwich that packs a punch of flavor. The bread is grilled nicely and you'll definitely want more bread to use up the hummus. The crawfish noodles is a must order. Really enjoyed the perfectly cooked noodles with amazing flavor. The turmeric coconut pancakes is a normal dish you wrap with the lettuce and dip in fish sauce. The shaking beef is marinated well with loads of vegetables.

Had a long, rough day at work and it hit the spot. Fish was LIGHT, very crispy and fresh. The seasoning and chili peppers were not too spicy and packed with flavor. Grabbed a side of rice to go with it. The cumin lamb was tender, noodles were large flat and had great chew. The flavor depth had salty, spicy, savory... it was just sooo good to slurp!

The noodles themselves are perfectly executed and have that amazing bite to them, but unfortunately, the sauce left a little to be desired. Even ordering them with just a "little spice," the flavor profile relies heavily on pure capsaicin heat rather than a deeply seasoned, complex sauce. The popcorn chicken was delicious though. It arrived fresh, piping hot, incredibly crispy, and perfectly seasoned--plus, it provided a much-needed palate cleanser to cool down from the noodle heat! The shop itself is clean and typical of a quick, no-frills, grab-and-go Asian restaurant. While the staff has limited English, they are incredibly sweet, patient, and welcoming. If I were having an intense craving for wide noodles I'd pop back in, but otherwise, there are a few better, more flavorful options in the area for Chinese-style noodles.
