I'm going to start off by saying they're lucky I gave them a 2 star rating that was only because the dish ordered was served authentic style with accompanying soup, the taste was "okay" which is what 4 of us responded after trying. Location, I think it's important to touch base here for first time visitors. This restaurant is located in a mall food court. There are plenty of parking garages in the area. Seating in the food court is very sparse there aren't enough chairs or tables for the amount of restaurants and/or vendors. Zaab Zaab has its own seating. The low rating is not only for the mediocre food taste but poor service, especially the staff's hospitality or more accurately their lack of hospitality. As I mentioned above Zaab Zaab has their own seating, the restaurant was completely empty. When I saw their sign name we were all initially excited my husband is half Thai so we had to stop in to look at the menu. We were excited to see some of his favorites that are not offered in many Thai restaurants in the U.S. such as, BOAT NOODLES and KHAO MUN GAI. We only ordered one dish to try because we literally just came from AYCE BBQ/Shabu Shabu. We ordered the KHAO MUN GAI to eat there and were told it was going to take 15-20 minutes which was fine, but bit weird since the restaurant was empty. This dish is a premade dish so it shouldn't take that long unless they were out of rice. We tried talking to the cashier being friendly she kept rolling her eyes, making annoyed faces and irritated sighs at us. She was completely disinterested in any hospitality. She displayed she was beyond annoyed we ordered one dish to try and even though we said for here she packed it up to go because clearly she did not want us there. We said we were all going to share and try it she gave us 1 set of utensils I later went to grab my own. There was another staff member in the back staring at us the entire time which made us feel even more unwelcome. Since we were also trying other vendors in the food court I found a table in the food court rather than stay in Zaab Zaab even though we had the right to be there as paying customers. Other patrons walked by and no one else went in. We probably would have tried more items on the menu to go had they been more hospitable and if the food was better. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. I'm always up for giving second chances if the food isn't as great as expected but the lack of hospitality is unforgivable. Patrons venture out in all types of weather, sit through traffic and other inconveniences to come dine in or order out kindness goes a long way. There was no inkling of kindness at this place. read more

I have found my FAVORITE spot for Tom Yum Noodle Soup. They offer minced pork or seafood as choice of protein both priced at $15. The serving size is a bit smaller than what you'd get from spots in Elmhurst BUT this place packs a punch in terms of flavor. Their Tom Yum is creamy from coconut milk and finished off with a fresh squeeze of lime. Our server, May, was such a gem - she's the only one working the front of the store and she juggles take out orders AND waits on all the tables. She gave great recommendations and was honest on ones she haven't tried before, so was hesitant on recommending. I've also had their Gai Yang (grilled chicken)- which fyi, if you come later in the day they might not have the whole chicken and only the half. One thing I was missing from that is an order of papaya salad - which they unfortunately do not serve at this location. Seating can be a bit tight, so I'd recommend coming in on their off peak hours! read more

Zaab Zaab is located in Tangram Mall's Food Hall. We ordered the pad thai and pad see ew with chicken to go. It didn't take too long for the food to come out. We consumed it in the tables in the food hall. Both dishes were very flavorful. I would definitely come back. read more

BLUF: Good flavors, small portions, pricey. Zaab Zaab, which won a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022, recently opened a new location in Tangram Mall's Food Court. This narrow food stall has seating for approximately 17 people. Dishes We've Tried: - Larb Ped Udon (Minced Duck Salad): $24.95. OK. The minced duck had the consistency and taste of minced pork, instead of duck. - Pad Se Ewe: $22.95. Delicious. The bacon and its infusion of flavors into the noodles added a level of enjoyment compared to regular Pad Se Ew, but the portion was small. Other: Suggested tips for dine-in start at 20% post-tax. Service could have been better for that level of requested tips. They could have at least refilled our water glasses. Tangram Mall provides restrooms and complimentary Wi-Fi, though the latter has been unreliable in recent visits. read more

Zaab Zaab makes it way to Flushing. Located inside Tangram. . They are still in the soft opening phase so some of their items are not yet ready. They have a dine in menu and a take out menu if you wish not to dine in.. the take out menu doesn't have many options.. . Since we were in a rush, we didn't order any of their soups or meat/fish platters, just noodles. . Shrimp Pad Thai - it was very good. The noodles had so much flavor. You can take the wok air in the entire dish. The noodles were very chewy. The shrimps were pretty plump and not over cooked. . Pad Se Ewe- this was delicious. They kept the noodles very think. You don't get to choose your protein though, it's fixed. Once again, the wok air flavor was all over this dish... . Seating area isn't big, good for small parties. I do think the prices are very high and the portions are not big at all. It's quality over quantity.. read more

Tom yum-Packed with flavor, spicy, sour, super fresh, galangal, kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, chili peppers it had it all in there. Really good. Definitely one of my favorite tom yums. Service: On top of their game, water was frequently refilled, waitress was very friendly. Overall: Really good, excellent addition to Flushing. read more

I haven't had the chance to check out their restaurant, but saw they have a space at Tangram. The spot is tiny but super cute. My husband has a peanut allergy and the staff was really helpful and made sure the kitchen was aware. We decided to get 2 dishes, pad thai and beef krapow . Both dishes came out quickly and we were a little taken a back by how small the portions are. The pad thai had great flavor and satisfied my craving. The krapow was good but way too salty. We had to order extra rice so we could finish it. Overall, I liked the food but not sure what all the rave reviews are about. read more

The lighting was such a vibe and with its convenient location for Thai cuisine, we opted for this for a quick dinner. After trying several spots here, I'm concluding Tangram food just isn't good because our meal was very dissatisfying. Service was off, she didn't look like she wanted to be there and dropped our bill and took away our plates too soon. This could have very well be just a grab and go spot like the other nearby joints if that was the case. I never had Boat Noodles ($12) before so I gave it a try, with the choice of Rice Noodles and additional beef balls/tripes/tendon ($3). Both our dishes had a weird aftertaste to them, and it's probably the sauce they use. Their beef balls had an especially funky taste to it that prevented me from having another one. Tripe was good though, and the overall portions were big. There were quite a number of good menu options here, but given the quality and service, I wouldn't be stepping foot here again. read more

I've been meaning to go to Elmhurst to check out the original location but haven't had the time or friends willing to go to Elmhurst (maybe I need new friends? jk). However, I was in Tangram mall in Flushing and decided to check out the food court where there happened to have Zaab Zaab. This location is a bit small with few tables. Their menu is pretty limited so they mainly have noodles and rice dishes so it's easier for takeout. I ordered the kee mow (drunken noodle with chicken) which they don't seem to have at the other locations. I wanted to order more but already ate so much already at other places (such problems I know haha). The noodles were not overcooked and it was actually spicy. The service was friendly and fast. I definitely need to go to the original location to get hot pot and larb! read more

After hearing many good things about the Elmhurst location, we were interested to try the flushing Zaab Zaab location due to it being a closer travel. The small restaurant is located in the Tangram food court. We came on a weekend during lunch, and service was quite slow. It seemed like every table had to wait awhile for their food. Took around 25min after ordering for our first dish to be delivered to the table. The waiter did apologize for the delay though. We ordered the Pork Kapow Over Rice ($15), Pad Se Ewe ($16), and Mango Sticky Rice ($12) Pork Kapow Over Rice - Included ground meat stir-fried with Thai hot basils, Thai bird chili, and garlic sauté. The waitress informed us that Thai spice is hotter than normal spice, so we opted for the mild version, but I think we would have enjoyed it more with regular spice. It was very flavorful and savory with only a small kick. [4/5] Pad Se Ewe - Was sweet and flavorful as the broad noodles stir-fried with pork collar, bacon, and sweet soy sauce. [4/5] Mango Sticky Rice - I really liked that they used pandan extract with the rice and the mangos were perfectly ripe, but the coconut sauce that was on top ruined it for me. I'm not sure why, but it did not taste right, so I tried to scrape it off as I was eating the dessert. [4/5] Overall the food was good, but due to it being quite oily, you may feel a little bloated/uncomfortable if you eat too much. read more

Came here to try Thai food. The kapow over rice taste good. The peppers are very spicy. The rice was soft. The fries are crunchy and little juicy. Good for a meal. The water is filled into a Thai style cup. More like being in Thailand. The area is little small with tables placed around. The food are clean and service was great. read more

Zaab Zaab - Kapow over rice and Zaab Fries - Thai Near Me - Flushing, New York

Cute small Thai restaurant inside the Tangram mall. They have a few of their own seatings that's like a a small cubby hole, got a slight restaurant feel with the walls, but you can also eat at the seatings provided by the mall. The food is pretty good, we got the kapow beef that comes with rice. The rice is surprisingly a lot less than expected, way more beef than expected. But beware that the food are spicyyy. We ordered mild, and it was still hella spicy for us. I can't eat that spicy but my friends that can eat quite a decent amount of spicy also said it's spicy, got us doing the "salivated heavy breathing". Had to order the Thai tea to try to make it go away lol. Also got the mango sticky rice which is also good. The cashier was really friendly Price is in between decent and kind of pricey. read more

Zaab Zaab - PAD THAI NOODLE - Thai Near Me - Flushing, New York

I went here for dinner recently and ordered the crab fried rice for 19. I paid for my food with my card but didn't get a receipt from the cashier. I didn't press the issue and decided to eat at one of the table inside the stall. I was served the rice with spicy sauce, which was very good. So when I checked my credit card the following days I noticed a charge of 24.49. Even with tax I would expect about 20.69, so somehow a couple of bucks were tacked on to my final bill without knowing. I don't recall the machine asking to select a tip option and I didn't know whether sitting in the stall constitutes a sit down dinner. The food is good but the service is lacking. read more

Very surprising, The fish is so big and fresh, just a little too spicy for us. We will be back and make sure let them know we will like it less spicy. All the food are so amazing, can't believe we are in a food court in flushing read more

5/22/2024: Another great meal, ordered our favorites: Steamed Branzino whole fish, Pad Thai chicken, crab fried rice, and our new favorites Grilled Chicken and Kapow Fries. 12/15/2023. They shortened their menu, cumin salt baked fish is gone unfortunately. However, ordered all 3 of their Specialty dishes (steamed branzino, river prawns, and Crying tiger steak) and it was another magnificent meal. Highly recommend all 3 dishes. 11/12/2023. Went back and ordered their signature cumin salt baked whole fish, and it was amazing. Something you would order at a Thai beach restaurant: fresh fish with lettuce wrap, rice noodles, fresh herbs and two sauces on the side. The papaya salad and Drunken noodle dishes were also excellent. We will be regular customers. Left feeling full and satisfied. ****** Excellent steamed whole fish (they had a fresh branzino) and also Pad Thai noodles. Small place in Tangram food court, but good service and little to no wait. We will be back. read more

Saw zaab zaab finally opened up in tangram mall and was excited to try it out. We were originally worried about the wait time but there happen to be a table available! We were greeted by super friendly staff, one being the owner Pei. Everyone was so nice in explaining the different spice levels and was refilling our waters. We usually can handle spicy but knew to get mild except we got spicy for one of their signature volcano zaab zaab dish. We ordered pad see ew, sausage rice, mieng pla pow fish dish, larb dish and volcano zeng zaab with mango sticky rice as dessert. Everything was nicely flavored with a kick. We asked if they had alcohol and they suggested we could bring beer over from hoi polloi next door which was a great addition. read more

Small place inside of Tangram food court area with exotic cozy vibe. Service is good, nice people with nice smile. The food we ordered are delicious except the raw shrimp green papaya salad. I guess I can't eat that extreme sour flavor with raw shrimps, the combination makes me feel I was drinking sour sea water. Grilled rib eye and pad Thai are superb! Those two are must try items! I definitely will go back to try other dishes! read more

Some items are a miss and some are good. The beef noodle soup is one of the better one in the area. I have a hankering for quality beef noodle soup and all the Vietnamese restaurants in Flushing have been a disappointment. The drunken noodle flavor is on point. I didn't like the curry chicken because they use bone in chicken. read more

Inside the Tangram Food Hall. Nicely decorated with a few seating in a small space. Service is OK. Though a bit pricey. I ordered the Pad Thai with Shrimp (extra $) and it was delicious, but a bit sweet for me. The Thai inspired drinks are good too. read more

Had kapow over rice and pad see ew and both were disappointing and disgusting! The kapow tasted like cat food, and the noodles in pad see ew breaks by a light touch. Flavoring was off and service was next to nonexistent. Would never go back and I do not recommend this place. read more

The food used to be excellent but on the 3/28/2024 I came and ended up in disappointment. The pork skewer was not properly cooked, meat was undone. The waiter offered to change another new one for us. The soup which cost $25 was watered down with coconut milk, food was not nice enough to match the price they charged. Noodles and rice were not tasty as I tried many Thai restaurants before. Service was good but definitely I won't take the risk to come back again. I hardly want to write a bad review but this was unacceptable with the food that was served. read more

Good food and service. The environment is clean and cheerful. We ordered and sticky rice with mango which is not on the menu and they make it happen, it ended up become the best dish. Will come back. read more

Service was great, don't get me wrong, the food was ok, drunken noodles were solid, perfectly spicy, curry was fairly bland though, and the portions are not impressive especially considering the price. There's incredible food throughout Flushing for pretty reasonable prices, 20 dollars for drunken noodle and still hungry doesn't seem right. 8 dollars to add 1 small soft shell crab (about the size of a chobani yogurt) to a meal seems a bit off too. Ambiance was decent, it's in Tangram Mall. read more

Came here on a Sunday and ordered take out everything was okay besides the prawns. They weren't sure if they had and after they checked they said they had 1 order left. The shrimp was not fresh at all the meat was mushy and had a bad smell. For such a expensive dish I would think they make sure it's fresh. The krapow, curry and chicken soup was good just a little in the pricey side read more

Horrible customer service here in tangram mall location, we are a group of 5 and no table available for our party size except the booth, but the old guy didn't wanna give the booth to us saying he has reservation, when i asked what time the reservation is, he can't answer, basically he is lying coz maybe he thinks we can't spend??? He want us to wait till 1 table leaving and combine that table and add 1 more chair! I waited for him to check on the reservation coz we can eat fast but he said not sure!! Seriouslyy??? If he really have reservation he can pull it up and tell us what time, he also have very bad attitude like if we not happy we can leave so we left! Too bad u lost a business, bad bad customer service attitude read more
