Looking through the previous reviews I see a lot of complaints about curries and Drunken noodles; however, my experience with the Thai Fried Rice, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad See Eu and Tom Kha Soup has been nothing short of excellent! This is a bit of a catch up review as I haven't been back to Oxford since 2019; however, when I was living there, I was going to Zaap at least twice a month as I found the fresh food and strong flavors so refreshing and tasty! Portions were very large and tons of vegetables in each dish. I'm so glad that there is a place--even if it's in a gas station--that does Thai exceptionally well. read more

Ok I've heard so many good things about this place and I finally went here's my review if anyone cares. Customer service. Was perfect. Restaurant is very clean well decorated. Panang Curry tofu&shrimp. Sauce was good. Tofu was boiled in the sauce. Crab Rangoon: cooked perfectly. Nice size. No crab just less then 1/4 tsp of cream cheese. Pineapple fried rice with chicken Tasty BUT the rice was MUSH. Big turn off Pad Thai. Lacked flavor. Fried dumplings. A little over browned but edible. Definitely not made in house. Frozen factory made. read more

Zaap Thai Kitchen - Big crab Rangoon - Thai Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

First and last time eating here, I've eaten Thai before in other towns everyone said this was the best place in town. I don't know if it matters much but we were the only table seated. They did have several Togo orders. My wife ordered pa Thai chicken and was served beef. I ordered beef basil rice. We were both served beef with noodles I asked for level 4 and she asked for 1. Both were spicy but I got up and went to counter to get the correct order. It came out extra dry with no flavor except basil with no spice. They explained the kitchen messed up but the same person we placed our order with served our dinner. Must be new staff running this place with all the positive reviews. read more

After a few visits, the results are in - this place ranks very high as one of the Best all around, all time Thai places I have eaten at! Every dish has come out looking like it was from off a magazine. Cant rave about this place enough - would recommend! read more

I have had Zaap multiple times. Every time the food tastes exceptional. The service is always quick for freshly made meals and I love getting the spring roll before my main dish. The cooking show that's always on adds a nice feel. It's like I can watch how the food I am eating is traditionally made. Highly recommend! read more

This was once our favorite takeout place but they recently raised their prices AGAIN in six months so we won't be going there again. Honestly for takeout street food this should be affordable but just isn't anymore. I feel like they raised their prices to reflect what students pay for foodtrucks on campus with their meal cards rather than what locals would pay for a family of 4. The food is good, no question, but it isn't fair to loyal customers to raise prices like this for takeout food. Especially when their workers are still making MS minimum wage! read more

Best Thai food hands down. I literally eat here multiple times a week. Love the food and the owner is super nice.

Delicious! Food is generous and so good. Try the curry. Very good. They have a nice variety too

Best Pad Thai in Oxford! They have huge portions and the food is very well seasoned. One of my favorite lunch spots.

Excellent food and service!! Clean and friendly and each dish we ordered was plentiful and tasty can't wait to go back.

Came up to Oxford to see family. The son-in-law found this restaurant so we figure "why not". The Restuarant exterior is part of a gas station / convenience store. If you blink, you will miss it....we had do a u-turn. Here are things ordered: 1. F1-Sesame fried rice w chicken - 5 Stars A great balance of sesame oil with a hint of tamarind and palm sugar. Will definitely get it again 2. N1- Pad Thai w Chicken - 5 Stars. ask for Thai hot- we all LOVE it! And that is saying something for us. And "yes", I am a food snob to Pad Thai and I will add this to #2 on my place to go for Pad Thai. My number 1 place is Far Away Places, in Meridian, MS. 3. S1 - Tom Yum w fresh shrimp - 3.75 Stars. A light broth with some heat and fresh veggies 4. E8 - Nua Nam Tok w beef- 3 1/2 Stars - expecting minced meat but it was presented as sliced steak. Served hot with fresh veggies on top of cold lettuce and hot rice. It was good and flavorful. 5. E7 - Larb Kai w chicken - 3/2 Stars - expecting a Larb style for the chicken (minced meat) but is was more diced. This dish is similar to the Nua Nam Tok for the other items. Even though the last two dishes wasn't as great, it was still good and flavorful. The veggies are fresh and refreshing to the dish. Not overly cooked. Will definitely come back to try other selections from the menu. Oh, one more thing, they do not have the Banh Mi sandwich anymore. There is a picture out with an outdated menu. No big thing...just more FYI. read more

They're a little slow right now. Short handed. But it's always a solid choice! Pad See Ew will not disappoint!

Was trying to call to get more information on the hours and place an order as we were driving to Oxford, but no one ever answers the call. We chose to go to another place that answered their phone and were open. Not having a voicemail set up or a message when people call with info on the hours and business is bad for business. read more

Drunken Noodles, they ask how spicy from 1- 5 mine is at a level 2. The spring rolls are great! As well as the clear vegetable soup. I recommend the pot stickers, & pad Thai too. The workers are really nice people that provide great service! read more

Speaking on behalf of a colleague, the experience sounded so awful I felt compelled to back his opinion. He received pho noodle soup with out the noodles. Spicy thai fried rice without spice. He may as well just asked for orange chicken and just gotten oranges. Absolutely 1 star and unlike my idol Cartman, I will not be persuaded by their probably terrible desserts. read more

great food. Great selection. Needs a little atmosphere and maybe wine or beer. Very friendly and helpful.

Tried it two more times before completely giving up on it. 35 minute wait for a lunch order. Runny, thin, extremely bland and boring curry. Such a shame. Time before did drunken noodles. It is an extremely bizarre dish here. Resembles no pad kee mao I've ever had in the US or Thailand. Extremely bland and strange. Wrong type of noodles, wrong sauce, no greens or Chinese broccoli, no fresh chile, just a mountain of carrots and this very bland chile flake/paste. Everything is just a bit off- maybe the Oxford effect. The owner seems to know what she's doing- she runs the restaurant strongly and firmly- but the food reflects a total lack of care or effort. I wonder if she just doesn't care at all, or just realizes she can get away with total mediocrity in Mississippi. Either way, until she improves the menu and the food is more thoughtful, I will not be returning. read more

Food is terrific! When I called she gave me a time to pick up and it was ready to go, got it home hot and it was delicious. I recommend it !

Flavors were good on the pad Thai. However, there was a real lack of attention to detail both in the kitchen and with the service. Also, several menu options were not available during my visit. read more

This is without a doubt the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. Taste like bland Americanized Chinese and no sign of curry in the literal curry. Avoid. read more

Food is amazing, the workers are polite, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. Ive been going here for quite some time now and have yet to have a bad experience. My only complaint would be the hours of operation. read more

This is a hidden place next to a gas station on North Lamar. I placed a pick up order and they were very prompt and organized. The egg rolls are different than Chinese egg rolls, but still good. There was ground chicken and vegetables in them and they were less greasy than most egg rolls I have tried. The Thai fried rice had the perfect amount of chicken and veggies mixed in it, but it was a little bland even at medium heat. The Panang curry was also full of fresh vegetables, but was very bland for a curry. Next time I will get hot because their scale is different than other Thai places. read more

Very fresh. I love the pad Thai. Lunch comes with choice of spring roll or soup. I always get the spring roll.

The food is decent. The service is absolutely terrible. The phone number they provide only gets answered 25% of the time they decline calls repeatedly. The actual rest read more

Just pointing out that the veggie dish has fish sauce in it so it is NOT suitable for vegans or vegetarians even. When asked, it seemed pretty much everything had fish sauce in it and could not be made without. There is a label for vegan attached to this place but there was only one soup as a viable option. Please consider making more vegan friendly dishes. read more

Food is good, but terrible service. I would recommend only eating inside. Ordering to-go is always a nightmare. Something is always wrong.

Just for context, this is coming from a young adult male who eats an abnormal amount of food. Make room in your fridge before going to Zaap's because $8 will get you a boat load of Pad See Yew. Walked in to the restaurant like "Bet, I'll get some Pad and some Tom Kha soup and I should be full" .... rookie mistake because I'm still struggling to finish this noodle delicacy I'm a big proponent for Thai food and this is the best joint in Ox. Looks like a Thai joint too lil hole in the wall gas station action. It's lit read more

After visiting this place tonight I'm puzzled. How the hell does this place exist attached to a gas station in the middle of nowhere!!! The food here was off the chain phenomenal!!! So fresh and exploding with flavor that will knock you into next week! I swear to the good lord above they must have angels in the kitchen or somebody sold there soul at the crossroads! If you go there expecting ambiance or 5 star dining experience you will be sorely disappointed...but the food y'all...damn good! read more

Zaap Thai Kitchen - They aren't on the web so here's their menu! - Thai Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The food here is just not good. It's both cloyingly sweet and abbrasively salty at the same time. Those are the only two things you can taste in the food: sugar and salt. Other than those two flavors, the food also manages to be bland. Don't ask me how it can do that, it just does. I ordered Pad see Ew and it was a dry mess of noodles that were all stuck together. My boyfriend ordered the Pad Thai and there was quite literally no sauce tossed with the noodles. Everything is covered in oil and is severely overcooked. On top of that, the service is just unpleasant. Overall, Zaap is just not worth the money. You may get your food fast, but it's like you get it almost too fast. Personally I don't think you should be able to cook an order for two in under 5 minutes. It's just suspicious. There's no reason to go here, especially when Rice & Spice exists in Oxford. read more

Awesome food and plentiful portions. The decor is basic, but the flavors are very colorful.

My previous few experiences of Zaap were fine, but today's was undeserving of even three stars. I feel compelled to give them 3 based on all of my experiences rather than just this one. Tonight, I ordered Pad see Eew and a side order of the fried rice. The pad see eew seemed to have no sauce, it was dry, the noodles were stuck together. The fried rice was NOT thai fried rice (which is typically herbaceous, spicy, aromatic) and honestly was just bland and left sooo much to be desired. Thai food is my absolute favorite and to see it done so poorly is such a disappointment. I'll keep sticking to my other Oxford Thai faves! Zaap just doesn't cut it read more

The food is amazing!!!! The only issue I had was the curry was a little too runny. It needed a little extra flavoring but the soups were on point! read more

Phenomenal, fresh, food! Maybe the most overlooked restaurant in Oxford! Highly recommend!. That was months ago. The service was so bad tonight that it doesn't matter how good the food is. Will not be back. read more

Zaap Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

At the intersection of Molly Bar and North Lamar, hidden next to a gas station is Zaap. First impression isn't that good, the interior is clean but lacking tables. Seems not to be much of a restaurant. Unlike other Thai places they did not ask for your spice level so the food wasn't very spicy/hot but more sweet in nature. A little bit more cabbage used in dishes compared to other Thai places in oxford. But still really good food, with nice people. read more

Worse service and food ever! I will never be back. After a long wait I had to ask for my drink. Then a customer comes in orders and gets his food while I still wait. The lady then tries to tell me he was a phone in order. It was only me and another group of two. The spring rolls were frozen store bought egg rolls they deep fried and the beef pho had veggies in it and the broth was veggie not beef. I think a Thai place should stick to Thai food. read more
