Absolutely delicious, Thai zap doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you sit down you not only get great service but also fantastic food. I've spent 3x more in Boston for the same meal, it never compares to malis. I usually get the beef pho and fresh rolls (extra peanut sauce) they are sooooo good!!! I try to bring my friends so we can try a bite off of each others plates because genuinely everything is so fresh and yummy. I promise if you try Thai Zap you won't regret it. read more

The headline is that I will definitely try it again even though the review might suggest otherwise. I ordered takeout but once I went in, I'd consider eating there. It's a cozy, clean restaurant and the staff is very inviting and friendly. The food I ordered on line was ready quickly and remained warm for my 15 minute trip home. I love dumplings and ordered both a steamed and fried version. Sadly, neither impressed me. The fried version didn't have a lot of flavor and thankfully it was greasy. The wrapping on the steamed ones was thin (which I prefer) but I didn't think the filling was flavorful. I order "Thai medium" spice to the papaya salad and chicken pad Thai and even though I can generally handle spicy food, my mouth was on fire. Both dishes looked fresh and great but I didn't get a good sense of flavor since my mouth was burning! I would definitely order each of the dishes again but "Thai mild"! read more

Extremely Disappointing, Not Worth the Hype or the Price After several people recommended this place, we were genuinely looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, the experience left us frustrated and disappointed. It started with being handed the wrong takeout order. Mistakes happen, but it's still surprising for something so basic to slip through, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. Luckily I caught it before we left and was able to get it corrected. When we got the right order, things didn't get any better. The portions were shockingly small, maybe a pound of food total, which included a wonton soup. We double-checked, and yes, it was all correct. Opening the containers at home was the real letdown. The chicken was painfully dry, honestly some of the driest I've ever tasted. The crab rangoons and yellow fried triangles looked and tasted like something microwaved from a big box store freezer section. There was nothing fresh or flavorful about it. We spent just over $60 with tip, and for that price we expected a decent meal. A comparably priced place just down the street would have given us quality food and enough leftovers for a couple of days. Instead, we were left hungry, frustrated, and honestly a bit stunned. Sixty dollars for the picture you see below. I don't usually write reviews, but this one felt necessary.. read more

Evidently, this place isn't paying yelp. I've listed several reviews for this place not one of them has been posted. I was so glad to see this place when it opened in Salisbury Massachusetts there isn't much in the way of vegetarian food or decent Asian food but this place has been good each time I've been and I plan on going back tonight. I think actually I love spicy flavorful food. read more

What a find! We were wondering why there's a message about a 40-min wait time for orders on Friday and Saturday nights, and now we know why! It's because the food is totally delicious, spiced just right! My son loves the pineapple fried rice and Tom Yum soup. I had the wonton soup, just yummy! Rick, the owner, is very friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

King of takeout in the Newbury Area. Gf and I have enjoyed everything we've ordered. On par with joynest and Brown Sugar by the Sea.

Really fresh and authentic. Amazing pho and phad Thai. They were so nice and personable as well.

I live somewhat locally and never knew this place existed. I asked who I believe was the owner how long they had been here assuming it was new and then he told me it had been 12 years... in any event I ordered the pad Thai, pineapple, rice, chicken satay, tofu, soup, golden triangles, and I think another item or two. I was pleasantly surprised to see the price was around $75 which I thought was pretty good deal. The food without exception was excellent and I'll definitely be going back. read more

What a surprise! Was looking for shrimp wanton soup and this was where I found it! The soup was delicious! Small restaurant with a lot of takeout orders but the food was fresh, crispy and tasty. The lo mein had lots of vegetables and chicken with delicious spices. So glad we chose a new place to try because we will definitely go back. read more

This place has always been great, through each and every stage of its culinary life. Not sure if each successive owner has passed recipes onto new chefs, but they get better and better all the time. My go-to place. read more

I was afraid to order pad Thai here coming out of NYC but found the noodles here quite good. Everyone has their version of pad Thai and I'd say the spectrum of this dish's elements was met here. It's not the absolute greatest and sort of mild but good in flavor. Tofu chunks were nicely roasted. I will be back to try other plates. read more

It was very fresh and delicious. I had the fresh rolls and chicken Pad Thia. One of the best that I have had. A hidden gem!

Excellent food! Some of the freshest and best tasting Thai I've had (outside of Thailand). A gem of a place, highly recommend!

Everything I've ordered has been great! Love the Thai lomein, red curry shrimp! Love being able to choose protein and heat level of each dish! read more

Went to Thai Zap on 110 in Salisbury, MA, today for lunch. It was awesome! Don't be deceived by the exterior. It's cute as anything inside and the food was delicious! I had the yellow curry with chicken and my friend had pho with fresh herbs and lime and chicken. We started with crispy wings (out of this world!) and golden triangles (Thai Samosa). The owner came over to chat and we had an absolutely lovely time. I'd never had Thai food before and I loved it. Honestly, the place was immaculate, the food reasonably priced and absolutely out of this world. read more

I've been here twice now and this has some of the most authentic Thai food I've had in the US. So far I've tried the yellow curry, Masaman curry, crispy tamarind duck, and the melon boba tea and everything has been spectacular. The service is always friendly and prompt, and the prices are incredibly fair. read more

Omg! This is one of those hole-in-the-wall gems that other people typically find, but now I've found it too!! Get the house rice. You won't be disappointed. Don't order appetizers expecting them to look like your favorite Chinese food joints, they won't. read more

Delicious! Nice service nice place, local to us and we've gone several times. Try it out!

Ugh. This place now has new owners and the quality has gone way down. E.g. now using canned mushrooms in their food... It used to be so much better with fresh ingredients. The new owners need to step up. I miss the old place... read more

Tom Yum Soup is so great !!! Taste so good. You should try and I am sure you will love it. read more

Mali Thai, has the best Thai food in the area hands down. Don't drive by this little place, they are the sweetest nicest people you could want to meet. I arrived around 4p for takeout and discovered they have opened their front windows for easy pickup. Is was offered a free Thai Ice tea, which hit the spot because it was hot and I was thirsty. Their food is alway fresh, and fantastic. Especially the Tamarind Duck. Please support local small business and don't drive by Mali Thai read more

I'm late on this review and can't even remember what I got other than the Pad Thai. Pad Thai is what everyone orders when they have no idea what else to order. Well, BEST CHOICE EVER! I've never had better pad Thai than here! Just go and get this! It will be your favorite Pad Thai ever! And the owner is super sweet. read more

Food was excellent. We were hesitant to try again after a bad experience with the previous owners but we're glad we gave the new owners a shot. The massaman curry, scallion pancakes, and pad thai were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We will be back! read more

Gave Mali's a try because of the reviews. Unfortunately we found the food the be very average. The crab Rangoon appetizer was a lot more batter than filling, they were also extremely small individual pieces. I had the Pad Thai. I did appreciate the fact that you can pick your level of spice ( mild, medium, hot). My wife had the Pad See Ew. I asked her opinion of her meal before I commented on mine, "Mine doesn't really have any flavor.", she said. My sentiments exactly. We split a Thai Lo Mein, same problem, no flavor. We did get the Mango Rice as desert and that was excellent. We will keep Mali's as a backup, but I think there are better options in the area. read more

Stopped by here on my way to the beach on a Friday night and couldn't believe how empty this place was. I called my order in ahead of time, but there was only one other call in order and a party of two sitting down. This. Place. Should. Be. Cram. Jammed. I ordered the Pad See Ew and Chicken Satay. Both were perfectly cooked and piping hot. I'd order both again in a heartbeat if everything else didn't also sound so good! Very much looking forward to coming back here in the future. I hope they start doing more business. read more

The soup was fantastic, Tom yum. I eat out often and last week I drove to Sanford Maine for this soup. Now that I found it in Salisbury ma. I can save some miles on car. I can't wait to come back for another bowl of soup and try other items on menu. They earned a new customer ! read more

We've been to Mali's Thai Zap many times and think their food is delicious. Very fresh and tasty. Many levels of spiciness to fit any spicy-food fan. And you have to top it off with a Thai ice tea! Yum! read more

Amazing delicious Thai food! I dined here with friends before seeing the Amesbury fireworks, so we shared various vegan and gluten free dishes. I especially enjoyed the scallion pancakes, fresh vegetable spring rolls, vegetable and tofu mango curry and the jasmine rice. We left feeling very happy and satisfied. I learned from the owner that this restaurant spun off from an award winning Thai food truck in Idaho. The truck did so well and the recipes were so well received that they brought the recipes to Massachusetts and started this restaurant. Aren't we lucky? :-) read more
